We Should Be Well Prepared

by Mary Oliver

The way the plovers cry goodbye. The way the dead fox keeps on looking down the hill with open eye. The way the leaves fall, and then there’s the long wait. The way someone says we must never meet again. The way mold spots the cake, The way sourness overtakes the cream. The way the river water rushes by, never to return. The way the days go by, never to return. The way somebody comes back, but only in a dream.

Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities!

For the 1 billion people in the world with #disabilities, bodily autonomy is a right but not always a reality.

One in five women will experience a #disability in her lifetime. Yet women with disabilities are up to 10 times more likely to experience gender-based violence, and are often prevented from accessing sexual and reproductive health care.

An inclusive and equitable world is possible, but only if we respect and protect the rights of people with disabilities

Updated Emergency Cleaning List!

As thanks for the warm (and, at times, hilarious) welcome back, here's an updated, significantly less wordy version of my Emergency Cleaning list. The original will be a decade old in a few months, if you can believe it!

You may need to modify or adjust the steps on this list based on your own situation — it's meant as a general guideline for those who need a little help pushing past the "Where the hell am I supposed to start?" feeling. This is also not meant to be a comprehensive "How to clean your house properly and maintain it forever" guide. It's for those moments when you have to quickly half-ass it because someone is going to be in your space soon and it's a disaster. If you can close some doors and cut some steps from the list, even better. Definitely do that.

(This is one of many checklists and downloadables available on my Patreon, if you're into that sort of thing.)

“The Peace of Wild Things” by Wendell Berry, A Poetry Film by Charlotte ...

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Refer - Non-Binary Pronouns

Created for: The Sims 4 by NeonOcean

Refer is a mod that allows sims to finally be talked about with pronouns that match their gender identity. Gender non-conforming sims can now easily change their preferred pronouns, sims can swap between the “male” and “female” pronouns, switch to using they / them, or select a “neopronoun” to be called by.

Note: This mod currently only works if your using the English version of the game.

Visit the issues section for important information!

Features

Easily change any sim’s preferred pronouns at any time

Select from 5 possible non-binary pronoun sets, including 4 of the most common “neopronouns”

Issues

I don’t know a lot about gender neutral pronouns beyond what I learned while doing research for this mod. Tell me if I’ve done something wrong while creating this mod.

Unsolvable problems

These issues exist because they would be very difficult or even impossible to fix.

They / Them Pronoun Issues

General Issues

“She’s” and “he’s” does not have a direct replacement for they / them pronouns. Both “they’re” and “they’ve” work in different cases and its not really feasible for this mod to automatically detect when to use which. The only way I could fix this issue was to manually set which to use for each case. This means that Refer will ignore any instances of “she’s” and “he’s” that may occur in other mods not explicitly supported.

Using they / them pronoun may result in grammatically incorrect sentences in a few cases. There isn’t any real way to rewrite the sentences on the fly or even detect if using they or them is grammatically incorrect. I recommend using a “neopronoun” instead if you really want to avoid this issue.

The game will occasionally use your sim’s pronouns to refer to sims that don’t actually exist in the world. For example, the game may make up a fake co-worker in the situational “should your sim do x or should they do y” dialogs and refer to them in the same way they do your sim.

OneRepublic – Connection (Audio)

These days my waves get lost in the oceans Seven billion swimmers, man I'm going through the motions Sent up a flare, I need love and devotion Traded for some faces that I never know, notion Maybe I should try to find the old me Take me to the places and the people that know me Tryin' to disconnect, thinking maybe you could show me If there's so many people here, then why am I so lonely?Can I get a connection? Can I get, can I get a connection? Can I get a connection? Can I get, can I get a connection?Real friends, good friends, hard to find, let's face it Find the perfect tone and there's a flood in the basement Made a couple dollars now and I ain't tryin' to chase it Kids from Oklahoma, man we don't waste it I'm just tryin' to paint the picture for me Something I could give a damn about at maybe 40 Years and I be ready and willing and able to edit the story 'Cause there's so many people here to be so damn lonelyCan I get a connection? Can I get, can I get a connection? Can I get a connection? Can I get, can I get a connection? I can see it in my, see it in my reflection Oh, can I get a connection? Can I get, can I get a connection?LonelyRight now, right now, I'm switching to a new lane Foot to the floor, man searching for the real thing Meet somebody else, sometimes ain't no shame Head to the clouds sayin'It's like can I get a connection? Can I get, can I get a connection? Can I get a connection? Can I get, can I get a connection? I can see it in my, see it in my reflection Oh, can I get a connection? Can I get, can I get a connection?Try'na find the old me Lonely
