Late nights are ahold of me just like they always used to. I’ve often wondered how people can consciously slam their wrecking ball selves into your life, and manage to swing right on back with that much more momentum. Ready for another blow.

Well the pieces are shattered on the ground now. There’s nothing left to take another swing at here, you’ll have to go knocking into someone else’s life now.

Maybe out of these pieces I’ll make a mosaic. Can’t seem to fit them together into any visible image just yet. But, one day I just might.

I hang on to the hope there’s more light at the end of this tunnel. I just need the strength to get myself there. I thought I found safety here, and thought I would be the one to destroy it. Turns out the monsters aren’t always under your bed, some times, they can be right in front of you and you don’t perceive it as a threat.

That’s the challenging part. Now I see you. Yet all of my love for you is still there. A love I have to slowly rid myself of and safely create distance for my own self preservation. Wasn’t it so much easier before our lives became so entangled? All lost to someone who so easily, needlessly and carelessly rid you from theirs.

Now I’m left with the pieces. I can’t help but just continue to stare at them in wonder of what to do with them. Each time I pick one or two up, I’m left with blood on my hands.

Maybe I’ll make a mosaic. Though for now, all I’m making is a bloody mess.

It's always, like, mildly annoying when people see a het trans couple and go "all that work just to be straight?" like... one, you don't know if they're straight and two, trans people don't owe you a queer sexuality to "make up" for the fact we're trans. Transhet people aren't a subtype of trans people, they're members of the trans community, and the queer one if they so desire!

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #and i don't really vibe with the word microaggression but it's very that #like it just comes across like people think trans folks owe them queerness and cabaret preformances y'know? #and we cannot *be* if it means the way we are being isn't this carefully curated version people have of transness + queerness #and it can kind of warp your desires and understanding of yourself because you *want* community and to be seen and to be allowed to just be #this isn't universal and the 'you' is impersonal. i am aware this is a broad range of experiences and not everybody can/does relate #my overall point is that it's probably not the best move to act like this toward trans people #maybe i read too much into this but it's just something i have seen over and over and over and over . . . again #shoutout to the real ones (heterosexual and/or straight trans people or people in straight-presenting relationships 👍) #back to playing the lelda of zelda (is it bad that i don't even call her zelda anymore i just go 'THERES LELDA!!!') #it sounds wrong to call her zelda now 😭 #the LEG OF ZEG.

Thanks for being such an amazing fandom, easily the best one I've had the pleasure to be a part of! <3

a friend of mine got me a copy of Office 2007 bc i wanted to see how well Word 2007 holds up compared to the version you get in Office 365. i haven't had much time to really fuck around with 2007, but, so far, it's just kind of a straight improvement from 365?

even ignoring the fact that Word 2007 isn't a subscription service (and is therefore superior to 365 by default), it's almost exactly the same as 365 but with a cleaner UI, better performance, and slightly fewer features. and it's not even missing anything important! i do actually use some of Word's more technical tools for my job, but it still has all the shit i need. mostly it just doesn't have all those annoying redundant features that do exactly the same thing as something else but a little different, so if you want to turn them off, you have to turn them off twice.

the only feature 2007 seems to genuinely lack is a proper dark mode, but, like, that's not a big deal. i can just invert my screen colors. i've been pulling that trick on light-mode-only programs since at least 2008. i'll live.

oh yeah, have i mentioned that it runs better? because it runs better. a lot better, actually. i have several 30-some page documents with literally hundreds of tracked changes that 365 really struggles with unless i have simple markup mode on. legit, it gets unstable and lags like a motherfucker until i tell it that it doesn't have to display the tracked changes anymore. i open the same file on Word 2007, and it stumbles a bit, loads shit in, and then it's fine.

god, like the whole time i've used Word 365, attempting to copy text from an equation would reliably cause the program to freeze for a good minute or so before either crashing or coughing up a canned error message about not having enough memory. 2007 doesn't do that. it just copies the damn equation. tf

i hate it when people will like have no ships right they'll not include a ship in anything but will also like. delete the entire relationship too. like look here's a hyperspecific example that only i care about

venti and the traveler (aether in my case) are a ship that exists. i like aeventi a good bit. some people dont and thats cool. but venti and the traveler are also FRIENDS. they canonically care about each other a good bit, theres text and voicelines and cutscenes that like prove this 70 times over. and i find sacrificing that bit of canon just because you dont view them romantically odd

#like do you get it #even if you dont think these people are romantically involved to ignore the framework that made people view them that way is quite frankly #just how you get horrible characterization #like yeah i see them romantically but they could still be that close as besties. regardless of how you interpret them THEYRE STILL CLOSE TO #EACH OTHER. REGARDLESS #example that more of you will care about: even if skk arent gay for each other THEYRE STILL REALLY WEIRD ABOUT ONE ANOTHER #not viewing them romantically does not negate dazai being weird and abnormal about chuuya and thinking about him 24/7/365. in his own words #if they werent gay theyd be worsties. represent that #aeventi #aethers rants #cw rant #caps cw #sorry im done now

EMERGENCY

does anyone have an idea what you can do when your word document is supposed to be autosaved to onedrive but the last version they give you is missing several hours of work? is there a way of getting all these missing words back?

i'm genuinely freaking out right now, word apparently didn't save 6 hours of work on an essay that is due tomorrow.

if anyone has any ideas at all, please tell me!!

thank you <3

anyway I've decided a year from now 360 something poems can't remember if it is or if it isn't a leap year but a year from now however many poems I will have enough Latvian to write a poem in it and if it isn't very good well sometimes my English ain't that great neither

Day 55: A passage from a book that has touched you

So, truth be told: I don't read a lot. Last year I finished Somewhere Out There: My Animated Life by Don Bluth, The Stranger by Albert Camus, and some of the Unedited Journals of Sylvia Plath. This year I haven't started anything. Nothing really gets to me the way poetry does, but I guess putting a poem here wouldn't technically be a passage from a book.

Frankenstein is one of my favorite books, and a lot of the narrative text is so thoroughly based in British Romanticism with the way it captures the essence of what nature is. I read it almost a decade ago, though, so my memory is spotty. Truthfully, there was so much of it that I don't remember a passage in particular, but after (admittedly) Googling quotes from it, this one encapsulates everything I love about it:

“Dear mountains! My own beautiful lake! How do you welcome your wanderer? Your summits are clear; the sky and lake are blue and placid. Is this to prognosticate peace, or to mock at my unhappiness?” -Victor Frankenstein

#Kayla's 365 Day Challenge #Oof who does this guy think he is???? me???? #. #okay yeah maybe i should give this another read #Victor you a bitch for what you did to that guy who was also a baby but you do have a way with words

my mom died a year ago

#grief #technically I’m about 4 hours early from the exact tod but yeah #i was probably up til 3:30 or so that night #I could double check bc i wrote a journal entry that night when i couldn’t fall asleep #it’s been 365 really busy days but shit right now it feels like no time has passed at all #but shoutout to palliative care nurses everywhere #and mad props to the oncologists doing bonkers scifi treatments and trials #keep up the good work #mom’s final cancer was a hell of an eldrich beast but medicine keeps developing #and bringing on night nurses for those last three nights of hospice was such a help and a comfort I don’t think I have words for #someone asked me earlier in the afternoon if i was through it having been a year and all #and i straight up said No I Am Still In The Thick Of It #my cousin (who lost her dad/my uncle 8ish years prior) said at the funeral reception “it doesn’t get better” #and she was right #it doesn’t get any better at all #you just get used to it #the lack of that person becomes familiar #even though your connection to them still feels active #like a phantom limb #it still feels horribly horrendously wrong that she’s gone #the world is certainly poorer in her absence #if I could offer any advice for anyone it would be to talk to your loved one(s) about this all ahead of time #don’t wait til they get sick don’t wait til they get old or whatever #start talking through it now #(certainly legally but also logistically) #unfortunately it’s a certainty that you will lose the person most important to you #or they will lose you #so don’t hide from it or put it off. it’s part of any relationship. it’s there and no one can escape it. #but yeah #right now this hurts
