I’ve Got Beef With Despair
Icon from picrew by @/itslillyillustrates"Even if the doctor does not give you a year, even if he hesitates about a month, make one brave push and see what can be accomplished in a week." ~Robert Louis Stevenson. I'm a hot mess in terms of identity but I go by xe/xir pronouns and you can call me Ver.

I love getting tagged in things... even though I usually forget to do them lol
Tagged by: @lisianpeia <3
Last song: Well... I played Appalachian Spring earlier today, but I'm assuming this is meant to be the last song I listened to? In which case, "Alas! The horse is gone" by Carol Walker. I've been listening to Celtic music focusing on cultures that often get missed by the wider public. This one is from the Isle of Man!
Favourite colour: Blue
Last movie/TV show: Good Omens. I finally have Prime video so I'm watching the couple things I've really wanted to see!
Sweet/spicy/savoury?: Alternates between sweet and savory.
Relationship status: Single
Last thing I googled: Charlie Parker. We looked at Blues for Alice today and I saw his name and thought, "Is that Bird?" It is indeed.
Current obsession: Shockingly, I don't really have one right now. I haven't had a proper hyperfixation since this summer, probably because I'm focused on school. I'd say Stardew Valley was my most recent!
Tag Nine People: I'm not gonna do this part but mostly because I haven't been on Tumblr since school started and the only URLs I remember are @lisianpeia who tagged me in the first place and @primasveraas whom I know has already been tagged lol.

just so we're all on the same page, it is currently standard time in the US, not daylight savings
i have seen an excessive number of people who think NOW is daylight savings and are like "what are we saving the daylight for"
we're not. it's standard time right now. we save daylight in the summer for agriculture. it's a stupid system

this person just took a shovel to my face
#just to be clear I neither agree nor disagree#there are definitely issues with stashing (in lots of hobbies and not just fiber arts) being about consumerism and the dopamine hit of buyin#and I don’t think that getting dopamine from shopping is bad at all but I do think that it’s important to be conscious about the consumerism#aspect of this. HOWEVER#i think that A) imposing rules or implying imposed rules on others is stupid (1-3 projects going at a time for instance)#and B) some people collect yarn (or fabric or books or whatever) and that’s not a bad thing either. if you’re the kind of person who likes#to have a pretty stash organized by weight and fiber content and color? that’s not a bad thing#collections like that are gorgeous and I want one someday#and you collecting yarn (or all the yarn collectors doing so) isn’t like. hoarding or anything like that#it’s like having a stamp collection or a coin collection or smth. maybe slightly more expensive and taking up more space#but it’s just a collection#and if having a collection of WIPs to pick from and cycle through when you get bored of one is how you finish projects that isn’t bad either#like. they’re not WRONG. if shopping is an addiction for you then yeah by all means do what you can to get to a healthier space of mind#including Buying Less Yarn#but I don’t like the blanket generalizations and implied moral judgments and imposed rules.

Hey, does anyone want to hear Shakespeare as if it’s gossip? Does this help?
(Boy, I gotta learn to act without waving my hands around)
(Also, I think I have exactly the right face to play Puck)

So many therapists are LAUGHABLY misinformed about autism. When I was first researching autism I brought it up to my therapist and she laughed it off because I knew not to only talk about my special interests during therapy, and I didn’t stim super visibly and frequently. That was an incredibly invalidating experience for me.
Even after that, when I could tell she’d considered it further and realized my theory had merit, it was like she was afraid of the word autism. She’d say I was quirky, or a little different, or just very sensitive, and that I “moved at my own rhythm”. At the very most she’d admit that I might have some slight traits but if I was autistic I would be “very very high-functioning” and probably didn’t meet enough criteria to be diagnosed. She agreed I should get an evaluation, but mostly so I could find out other disorders I might have.
Anyway, I got the diagnosis. She of course spun it like she’d been sure it was going to happen the whole time. She made sure to assure me that no one could tell, and again how extremely high-functioning I was. She’s still afraid to say autistic, and will jump through hoops to avoid saying the word.
It’s so frustrating to me just how stigmatized autism is, even in the mental health field. Professionals fail to understand the spectrum part of autism.

When Witches Watch Ghost Shows
“That’s…That’s not how Ouija boards work. And the apps are not a reliable indicator of activity because their shit is randomly generated.”
“Why are you ASKING the tiny mysterious child to come in and play? Are you fucking stupid?”
“Why is it white people? Why do these shows almost always feature random white middle-America fluffheads without the sense God gave a goose? Is it because they do dumb shit more often or because POC families are quicker to recognize spirit bullshit and move the hell out?“
“-blink- Lady, that is NOT the 91st Psalm.”
“Wait, so you saw random geometric symbols doodled in a closet and you automatically thought OMG SATANIC? What kind of ignorant jackass….”
“RECREATIONAL TAROT CARD READING DOES NOT RANDOMLY SUMMON SPIRITS, YOU USELESS CARDBOARD SUBMARINE!”
“Since when is divination the same as spirit-summoning? What is this bullshit? Read a goddamn book, people, holy crap.”
“No no no, you can’t just set herbs on fire and think that’s it. You have to put some oomph behind it and claim your space. Holy shit, if you can’t use the sage properly, put it the fuck down.”
“You moved into a house that the realtor was literally afraid to walk around in, did you think there was no REASON for that!?”
“Oh you ignored your wife and kids being terrified cause you’re skeptical of spirits, mister big tough man? How’d that work out for ya? Thrown down the stairs you say? Gee, that’s rough.”
“Why does NOBODY listen to their kids when they say they see weird shit!?”
-the second anybody mentions Zozo- “OH MY GOD. OH. MY. GOD. OH MY. GOD OH MY GOD. OHHHH MY GOD.”
“Ohhh yes, there was a witch who lived in the house once. Totally the cause of your haunting because we all know that the only thing witches do is sit around and summon evil spirits. Much wicked. Very scare. Wow.”
“Yanno, witches aren’t automatically evil and hauntings can be nasty without being demonic. Your fundie financial backers are showing.”
“Listen, numb nuts, surfing the internet to find out what’s clomping around your house at night is kind of like going to WebMD to figure out why you have a stomachache. The answer you find is always going to be way more dire than what’s actually going on. Sheesh.”
“Oh my fuckin life….I need more wine.”

New sleep style: hitting the snooze button so many times that you sleep two additional hours in ten minute intervals. I call this Horse Sleep
