#the public has spoken

[aj-lenoire]

apparently the reason may december is being snubbed during awards season is because a lot of actors REALLY didn’t like what it had to say about actors who take on the roles of real people, and the idea that a bunch of former theatre kids might be sensitive about criticism of the industry they work in is, to me, just so shocking

#hey guess what every industry has problems but the answer is not to ignore and snub people who comment on them #also #it almost seems wilful because for me the main takeaway was uhhh abusing kids is bad?? #a white woman was able to continue abusing a boy/man of colour by infantilising herself to him and the entire world #like the natalie portman as an actress thing seemed more the catalyst of other things in the film than the main point #the whole media circus and the desire of the public to know every detail is kind of secondary to watching this young man #—​who in so many ways still behaves and thinks of himself like a child—come to terms with the fact he’s been lied to and failed #just utterly failed by everyone who supposedly is there to protect him #idk i really liked it and charles melton deserves an oscar for that performance #reggie from riverdale held his own against julianne moore and natalie portman like holy shit #something something charles melton’s character never had his own voice as a child and now as a grown man still doesn’t #he is spoken over by his wife/abuser and by the media who document/frame/characterise his history and now by natalie portman’s film #may december #aj abstractions

Why do so many psychiatrists love to gaslight. Okay, Hannibal Lecture.

If I had a nickel for every time a psychiatrist straight up told me lies I would have too fucking many and that's a problem.

#like first a psychiatrist tells me my seizures r psychological BECAUSE of my history of Forbidden Disorder and anxiety #and then they get worse and its clearly epilepsy and im on meds now and my condition was neglected bc a misdiagnosis based on stigma #and then now im like hey so i am still struggling with Forbiden Dissociative Disorder can i get some resources or a mf therapist rec #and this psych straight up tells me DID isn't a diagnosis anymore (I FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF THIS CLAIM BTW) #AND tells me my amnesia is bc of seizures.... LIKE I LIVE IN MY BODY AND U HAVE LITERALLY ONLY SPOKEN TO ME VIA PHONE #IDK I THINK I KNOW MYSELF A LITTLE MORE THAN YOU DO FUCKING JEFF #and i know the mf difference between switching and and HAVING A SEIZURE like??? #those r very different things. like ik theres different kinds of seizures but for ME theres just no comparing theyre 2 different things😭 #there is a clear difference between me collapsing and becoming unresponsive on the floor like a fish outta water #and me telling people to call me a different name and having completely separate identities that others notice. and i cant remember #and like ive dealt with it all long enough that I'm aware and can communicate w my alters n stuff and i have to to function #and for YEARS since highschool its been like. i talk to professionals and theyre like hm yea u basically would meet all requirements #however u might as well not get diagnosed bc no one wants to deal w that. #LIKE IVE LITERALLY BEEN TOLD THAT MULTIPLE TIMES ALMOST EXACT WORDS #and i hate how i know fake claiming being a public thing has rlly fucked w peoples perception of did n stuff #idk im so fuckin pissed man. reverting to my will graham era i fucking guess

#Charles ii of spain #Charles ii #Carlos ii #17th century #You know I havent really spoken about the grief of losing your mobility but it is so much more than that #It's also the loss of your freedom physically and socially #And it eats you alive the longer it draws out. I mourn everything i cant do and everything i could. #It's also a financial nightmare having to go to the hospital and being unable to take public transport #AND losing your job #I know it's not a lot compared to what a lot of people have gone through but #The strain has literally killed me i cry like two to three times a week now #And i just dont know when its going to get better or what worse is in store #Or how much ive fallen behind even when it does physically get better #Also there's the autism thing about freaking out if ur body doesn't remain the same so fun fun #So anyway ive thought about committing a LOT since june!!

bar exam in 8 days. i am so scared lmfao

#ooc. #a bit of negativity in the tags: #i am also a little sad bc my studies and lack of availability/focus have def caused some people to not want to stick around here #but i am trying not to think about that now #thanks for sticking around if you're still here #i really appreciate it. i love being here and talking with you all. my life has just been so hard lately #when i was still able to write my brain would only let myself focus on certain things #and it is nothing to do with the lovely people i write with here #and more just what my brain let me focus on #this has been a thing since i have been in school #i opened my blog back up to the public right before finals #so you really have known this stressed scatterbrained version of me #that i would like to think isn't reflective of who i am as a person or writer #i've just been full of a lot of emotions lately #because i hold my fandoms and the people in them near and dear to my heart and i feel like i have inadvertently driven some of them away #so my heart is breaking a little bit. #if we have spoken on here #or i have sent a meme to you #or received one from you #or gotten a starter from you #or written a starter for you #you Do mean a lot to me. #i have not forgotten you. #i'll probably delete this soon. i'm a little embarrassed #i don't want this to be a pity party but i feel i owe an explanation #just know i have everything saved #everything in my drafts/askbox #and i never drop anything unless i tell you i need to for some reason #thank you for being here again #you all have offered me some solace and community during the hardest time in my life

Me: [Discusses at length how the endogenic community has hurt me, how I was in denial for much longer because of the people I was around, and how I'm relieved to be where I am today]

Me: But yeah, despite all of that, I really believe it's better for a DID system to be in denial of their trauma and think they may be endogenic than force themselves to confront it before they're ready.

Someone: Yeah, it's also fun to deny trauma.

#venting #ableism #I do not care how bad your trauma is #I do not care how self deprecating you are #Bringing it into a public conversation about denial of trauma and making fun of the experience of denying it #Especially when the person you're speaking to has spoken AT LENGTH about how denial has hurt them #Isn't just 'an ill timed joke' #That's ableism. Internalized and externalized.

it is so utterly insane to me the way i've had this like fundamental shift in my personality since i started therapy, started medication, and graduated college. i used to be so shy and quiet and awkward. it used to take me years of everyday interaction to begin to feel any sense of real friendship with anyone, and the idea of public speaking or small talk with strangers etc was enough to have me trembling and shaking

and now like. i'm doing public speaking. i'm doing small talk with strangers. at michaels i'm actually having conversations with customers whenever the mood hits because i like actually enjoy talking to people now? even if it's just small talk it's just nice to like, have a nice friendly conversation? if i need to confront someone now, for whatever reason, whether it's to ask a question or to politely ask them not to do something, nowadays i can actually do it, instead of being the living epitome of the coward end of the "he asked for no pickles" meme. now I'M the person saying "he asked for no pickles." i'm the one that my more shy coworkers turn to when the time comes. I'M the person being shoved at the shy coworkers to chat them up and get them to be more outgoing. I'M the one guiding the conversation asking questions and keeping people talking trying to get them to open up. literally never imagined myself like this

#fucking. when i was working at michaels on christmas eve i was there with two managers and a cashier #my fucking STORE MANAGER told ME to make the closing announcement - which we normally dont do but we were #doing it then since it was christmas eve and we were closing 3 hours early #like this GROWN ASS middle aged MAN cannot do public speaking over a loudspeaker so he asked ME to do it #AND I DID IT !!! #like in WHAT world am i the one being tasked with these things? and actually doing well with them? #or at my other job we have a high schooler who's like very. introverted i guess? #she isn't shy like once i talk to her she doesnt have any noticeable signs of discomfort when talking #it's just that like she very rarely initiates conversation #so i'm always the one being like hi so how was your week !! how's school going !! how's your college applications !! #talking to her and shit like I'M the one now responsible for chatting up the shy quiet coworkers #just a year or two ago /I/ was the shy quiet coworker who didnt speak unless spoken to #brot posts #delete soon #anywayz i was telling my therapist about this change in my personality and i literally used the no pickles meme as an analogy #unfortunately she has never seen that meme so it fell flat. LMAO

you know i mostly really like my grad program and everything but i have very quickly learned not to ask too much about vision and hearing loss bc it turns out most of the faculty here know very little about those things. they know a little bit about hearing loss but really only in the sense of "get them fitted with hearing aids/CI as early as possible so they can develop like a hearing child". i really wanna learn more about language development in deaf, blind, and deafblind children because that's the population i specifically wanna work with (and have worked with in the past). and it's just been frustrating having my questions about those populations be met with "uh. i'm really not sure."

most of the faculty have been nice about it, but i have had the misfortune of being assigned an advisor who is borderline hostile about it. the first time i brought up this subject, (back through email when i was still deciding where to go), i was asking about an ASL elective that was offered within the program and whether there were any other electives with related topics. she responded by telling me that this was a masters program in speech language pathology, not ASL. great! you could've just said "no." the second time it came up was a few weeks ago when i talked to her about maybe doing a masters thesis (i won't be doing one, by the way). i said that if i were to do one, it would be about deafness, blindness, and/or deafblindness, and she said something like, "that's not a subject that's typically studied or taught in a CSD curriculum". as if it's just crazy that i as a CSD student would want to learn about something as esoteric as fucking vision and hearing loss! what a marvel!! not like those two senses have fucking anything to do with communication huh??? not like children who are deafblind face significant barriers in their development of language, the effects of which i have personally seen in numerous individuals??? clearly i'm really the crazy one here

#sorry this ended up turning into a rant about this specific professor lol #i did mean for it to be more general but she really pissed me off #she has in fact pissed me off two out of the two times i have spoken to her so that's cool #she apparently also sucks as a prof but my cohort has lucked out bc #she was supposed to teach neuro this semester and artic/phono next semester but isn't for unknown reasons #so we get other (better) teachers #apparently i will have to have her this summer tho :/ #anyway as to why i'm getting steamed about this weeks after the fact #i'm currently reading a paper on deafblindness (that i personally chose for a class project) and it's just on my mind again #everyone in the class had to pick papers on a population of interest for them (like autism; down syndrome; selective mutism; etc) #and there's a public list of what everyone chose and i'm the only one who chose anything about vision/hearing which i guess isn't surprisin #but yeah the more i think about this stuff the more i kinda wish i had taken all my prereqs so i could have applied to go to gallaudet #if there's any program that's gonna have people who know more about these populations it's there #out of the places i was accepted i feel very confident i chose the best option #this place has a brand new asl program and so they are actively making efforts to raise deaf awareness in the dept #but even with that it's still astonishing how people in this field brush off knowing anything about these populations #like yeah it's very low incidence i can get that #but we still learned a bunch about fucking williams syndrome and that's exceedingly rare #and rare or not it has a demonstrable effect on language development which makes it extremely relevant #jesus i'm sorry for the tag essay i'm gonna stop #i am procrastinating as usual bc i can't focus on this paper even though i am very interested #here is that grad school tag

ONE MORE gem from my Cameo I requested from Miles Luna today. I asked him his thoughts on the pansexual Yang headcanon, and he approved!

This is NOT a word of god confirmation that Yang is in fact pansexual. Miles just said he approves of the IDEA of Yang being pan. He ALSO says it’s up to people to decide what they want Yang’s sexuality to be! Whether pan, bi, lesbian, sapphic in general, attracted to guys, etc…

So I have video proof of one of the RWBY writers openly saying NOT to shit on other people’s character sexuality headcanons and let them use a character in a ship however they want. Think we can put ship/sexuality discourse aside and follow these wise words? 😉

#this is the LAST time I step my toes into some form of rwby discourse in public #I’ve moved past the ship war but sexuality discourse has been fucking annoying me as of late #CRWBY has officially spoken #don’t be a fucking dick #sketch text #my videos #rwby #yang xiao long #ship discourse #sexuality discourse #pansexual Yang

i love setting goals for myself im so good at reaching goals

#so uh. angoroj (agonies) is the first feature film produced entirely in esperanto. #its passed into public domain a while back i think #my understanding of esperanto is about equivalent of taking a year of a language class #because. yaknow. thats practically what i did. #i spent about a year of math class teaching myself esperanto to make it look like i was actually getting stuff done #but man. the wikipedia article on this film is practically empty. i feel like someone oughta give at least a shitty summary. #this is like. a somewhat big thing. maybe the esperanto wikipedia has more on it but that thing's mostly dead. #front page for it hasnt updated since like 2015 #i think it'd be good practice to try to make a transcript of it in english. #i mean i'd do a shit job of it at my current level of understanding. #but shit is better than nothing right? #think i've got a decent copy of it from the archive #judging from the credits and summary placed at the beginning of it (spoken in very fast esperanto)- #-it looks to be about some kind of crime family. and i believe it was either filmed or takes place in paris #hhrhrhrg why are the words for “both” and “too” so hard to tell apart. #fuck it. in case this goal ever goes anywhere -> #Mios Agonies
