#IT MATTERS

[winterf4iryy]

fuck all of you who decide to stay neutral. fuck all of you who decide to stay silent. fuck all of you who are not educating yourself about what is happening right now. fuck every celebrity that posted a notes app screenshot of empty words. fuck bbc and nbc and joe biden and the u.s and britain and nearly every western country and media outlet. fuck israel and zionists and privileged white liberals turning a blind eye. fuck all of you. israel bombed a hospital and hundreds if not thousands are dead and a father had to carry the PIECES of his sons in plastic bags because they were blown to bits. a resting place for journalists has now turned into a morgue. every day people are being killed and it’s being DOCUMENTED and you still wanna be silent and neutral and say this doesn’t involve you. your lack of humanity is vile and horrid and i hope you never know one moment of happiness the rest of your life.

#genuinely have lost all of my respect for a LOT of people in the past week #speak the fuck up #use your voice #it doesnt matter if 1 or 100 people see it #IT MATTERS #Repost videos of people in Gaza and what they’re documenting #journalists are on Instagram updating constantly #RESHARE IT #my ig is grnbrviv and ive reposted from accounts of those in gaza #sbeih.jpg has a pinned post labelled Gaza Awareness of people updating in real time #shame on you if you aren’t disturbed by the literally genocide going on at this very moment #palestine #free palestine #gaza

I just got fucking CALLED OUT by my 15 year old daughter. I was showing her some new charms I got for my charm bracelet and she said, “I’ve noticed you do this thing a lot, mom, when you’re talking about stuff you love that makes you happy. You always say, ‘I know it’s silly,’ but if you love it and it makes you happy, it’s not silly. If it brings you joy, it’s important. It matters.”

#if it brings you joy #it's important #it matters #where did she even come from?? #how did she learn this?? #she's so fucking wise #dunno what I did to get so lucky #but damn #wandering pain

Make the effort to say "nonspeaking" instead of "nonverbal." It's not nitpicking or semantics or a tiny difference. Nonspeaking autistics have words and use them, just not with their mouths. Everyone uses nonverbal speech, not everyone uses their mouths.

EDIT: Absolutely of course defer to how the person you're speaking to prefers to be described.

#actually autistic #autistic #autism #nonspeaking #nonverbal #listen to autistic voices #and their words #listen to us #minimally speaking #unreliably speaking #unreliable speech #know better #do better #it matters #how you speak about us matters #informative #information #autistic voices #explanation #here's why

"When life has not treated you with kindness, doing the right thing anyway always takes strength… when you can even tell what the right thing is. I love you, Timothy, but I’m not righteous. I can’t teach you to be that. Maybe you and I… can imagine a version of me that is good and kind and wise. I’ll pretend to be her. You can pretend to love me enough to listen. Maybe that’s enough for people like us." --Lydia to young Amos, The Expanse, 5x02

Nach meinem Dafürhalten war diese ... diese Sache zwischen [dir und Maik] damals nicht gesund.

Noise Has Colors?

The rain falling in the background of Sailom confessing his 💕love💕 for Kanghan in Dangerous Romance? That's pink noise.

The traffic noises in the background when Ji Hyun spots Jae Won on the bench having a breakdown in The Eighth Sense? That's black noise mixed with blue noise.

The water noise in the background of Myung Ha confronting his death in Love for Love's Sake? That's black noise.

"White Noise" isn't the only noise that exists. There is also pink noise, black noise, blue noise, brown noise, yellow noise, purple noise, and several other colors, and as usual

the colors mean things!

The noises are named those colors based on their frequency and speed, which the article linked above and the video included below explain well.

So next time, remember that the sound departments are always earning their paychecks with their big-brained energy.

#the colors mean things #color coded noise #it matters #it's big brain energy at its finest

Coming back to this previous ingo×irida-ish post because my job gives me an unfortunate amount of time to think and anyway, an alternative version:

While in the modern day, maybe Irida sees something online, or maybe some kind of traveling history museum exhibit visits Pasio etc, but the point is she sees old historical photos of Warden Ingo. And most of those photos aren't anything new or super surprising for her- hell, she literally remembers Laventon taking these exact ones. She's even in some of them.

The part that surprises her is that there are photos from later years that include Emmet.

Because at the point in time that Irida left Hisui through the rift, she had no idea who Emmet was. Ingo had told her about his Man in White, but that was all they knew. Emmet wasn't in Hisui.

But judging by these photos and documents, he eventually will be.

So Irida still takes Ingo's hands and promises to find him later. And she still sadly tells both brothers to make the most of their time here together, and make sure to live life without regrets.

Irida goes through the closing rift back to Hisui, and she tells Warden Ingo what she learned from her trip to the future. Ingo can't thank her enough; he just needs to wait, and they'll be reunited...eventually. At some point. Just no idea when.

And it lasts years. Irida goes out to the highlands one day, and she can tell this is a Bad Day because Ingo is just kinda sitting there, up near the peak, staring out over the vastness of Hisui and dissociating. Like he's trying to watch for something, just waiting for it to happen. Irida almost regrets telling him on days like these, but it's not as though she can take it back now.

Ingo doesn't particularly acknowledge her greeting, so Irida sits next to him. Still nothing, so she sidles over and presses up against Ingo's arm until he finally presses back a bit. He never stops watching the sky, though. Close enough.

"This waiting is...difficult."

"I know." Irida follows his tattered black sleeve down from his elbow until she can find his hand, grips his cold fingers between hers and squeezes. She's sure he'll arrive soon, though. As much as it hurts to see Ingo like this, watching him give up would be so much worse.

"Just keep waiting patiently...just hold on a little bit longer, ok?"

#blankshipping #submas #ingirida #pla ingo #pla irida #love me a melancholic vibe #it's about the yearning!! #Ingo knowing that Emmet will Fall to Hisui eventually but not knowing when...what else can he do? #all he can do is wait #but waiting is hard when you don't know for how long you'll be waiting for #it makes time stretch in such a horribly infinite kind of way #irida will wait with him at least though #she knows it's not the same; she and Emmet became friends in Pasio but they didn't have the time to bond too closely #her missing Emmet is barely a drop in the bucket compared to how Ingo misses him #but at least now Ingo isn't entirely alone in carrying Emmet's memory; that's something. Irida's mere presence helps #it matters #nobokai #ingo #irida #emmet #warden ingo

The NHL is so fucking dumb. Getting rid of pride jerseys isn't going to stop us disliking your homophobic players, it isn't going to stop you having LGBTQ+ players on your teams and it sure as hell isn't going to stop us writing about your star players fucking each other.

All you've done is take away one little win for queer kids watching this sport and getting to feel seen.

#like i think people really underestimate how much visibility matters #like id go to the ends of the earth to illegally stream queer as folk and the L word as a kid #just to see people who were like me #it matters

Update...

Spent the night crying and taking meds for my muscles pain I usually get when I'm at a low point.

Then accidentally run into my old neighbours today and spent the day with them.

A sweet couple, a child and a dog.

A child that keeps hugging me and a dog that showered me with wet doggy kisses.

And suddenly I knew my little bubble is still intact and I'm going to be fine.

Mind Palace cleared 😃

Getting there...

I'm not going to lie- when a writer you admire leaves Kudos on one of your works, it feels pretty damn good.

the different between the smileys

:) - goofy guy, happy, slightly mischievous depending on context

:] - the goofiest, just a silly little dude meant to convey child-like joy

:D - giddy joy, excitement and laughter is abound

:} - mischievous, mysterious, slight murderous intent

:3 - silly, mischievous, absolute murderous intent, undertones of silly

I'm thinking about ghost stories.

I'm thinking how ghost stories are so many things, but so often they are histories.

And I think how many times ghost investigators will look into the records of a place and learn about the people who lived and worked there, the ones who were never important enough to make history, but some detail about their life matches up to that unexplained smell, or that snatch of tune you can hear hummed when you pass that room, or those odd shadows.

And in some small way, by telling that ghost story, you bring that person into the present. Even if they had nothing to do with those odd sensations we can't otherwise explain, we are invoking them. We are raising this distant person from obscurity and remembering them, learning their duties or their tragedies or their crimes.

We tell ghost stories to scare ourselves. We tell them to entertain.

And we tell them say "this person was here. This happened. This mattered."

#storytelling #ghost stories #the particular ghost stories I'm referring to are a different category than the campfire stories and urban legends #though those are also valuable #I'm talking more about the kind of history/horror fusion that you find in ghost tours #in those books on the histories of seemingly unimportant locations that are framed as collections of ghost stories #in the way we often introduce real world horrors and tragedies to children as scary stories #because that makes them a little easier handle #ironically a little less scary #than they would be if we simply presented them as the way of the world #or how you make otherwise mundane details of the past a little more accessible by framing them as a genre story #it matters
