#bring our sisters home

[transastronautistic]

i want to make a sewing piece with flowers from different liberation movements — e.g. lavender for queers, poppy for Palestine...

anyone have information on flowers linked to other movements / cultures? For instance, Black liberation or Latin American / Indigenous liberation?

#rn i'm thinking of doing a rose for Indigenous America because they #are native to here + are meaningful to various cultures #+ they make me think of Latin American liberation theology bc of their association with our lady of guadalupe #and the flower of a black-eyed pea for Black liberation because enslaved Africans were able to bring those plants with them #to the americas and nourish themselves with that memory of home #could also do sunflowers as an important staple crop to many Native American cultures (“the fourth sister”) #plus apparently sunflowers were used in some feminist movements? but i'll have to look into which ones Just In Case #averygaypost

Learning about the Yunmeng Shuangjie and the Nieyao drama through Wei Wuxian's and Nie Mingjue's points of view.

#'AITA for avoiding my brother like the plague after being back from the dead after learning he's been looking for me this whole time #And denying him an explanation about how & why I accidentally killed our BIL & started a massacre that resulted in our sister's death #And orphaned our nephew. And talking back to him and telling him off instead of even looking slightly apologetic #when he berates me for telling our nephew whom I accidentally orphaned he lacks maternal education? #And then without even saying so much as a hi to my brother when entering his home bringing a stranger #(that I've been spending all my time with instead of going home and giving an explanation to the brother that has suffered so much bc of me #Bc it was the easier thing to do) #To his ancestral shrine and then teaming up with my boyfriend to beat him up in his own ancestral shrine when he gets upset? #And then telling him that all I did for him (& kept from him) was bc I owed his family and then leaving him behind bleeding #metaphorically & literally (both bc of me) and not even asking him how he is before running to fuck in the bushes with my boyfriend? #*sigh* I thought Jiang Cheng would always be on my side and Lan Wangji opposite us.' #'AITA for making numerous attempts on the life of my marginalized sworn brother and ex-subordinate who has risked his life saving mine #& kicking him down the stairs & offending his mother & going to kill him again #after I told him why he won't just kill himself for the betterment of the world after he refused #To risk his life & safety doing something he had no authority to do after he tried to explain his situation to me?' #mdzs #cql #the untamed #mo dao zu shi #chen qing ling #the grandmaster of demonic cultivation #nie mingjue #jin guangyao #wei wuxian #wei ying #jiang cheng #yunmeng shuangjie #jiang wanyin #yunmeng bros #twin heroes of yunmeng

eldest daughter syndrome really do be kicking my ass tbh

#i just find it like so unfair yknow #im the only one who works in myhouse and full time #but i come home and the house isnt clean and i tidy up and sort everything out and tidy the kitchen anf living room after dinner and put #my sister to bed and yk if there was no one else to do these things id understand but #i have 5 brothers all of whom are adults and they dont lift a finger #its not as if any of them work bec they dont and neither does my dad #and im so so so exhausted yk? bec not everything is my job or responsibility #and i keep blaming other things for me getting sick but yknow what maybe i just dont rest enough #and the other day i was upset bec i'd had a tough day at work and i felt unwell and i cleaned up everything after dinner and my brother #said i didnt have a right to be upset bec i “chose” this. like as if i chose to work full time nd do all the chores for a family of 9 #and it just really upsets me bec no one sees an issue with it and im so mad at my mom at rhe same time #constant therapy sessions w her bec shes mad at my dad and wants someone to vent at and then he does the same abt her and my brothers #and im so tired yknow just sososos tired bec she'll complain abt how they dont do anything but then she wont ensure they do either #its just empty complaints whereas she thrust responsibility on me when i was 9 and yet my brothers are 18+ - all but one that is and they #cant even do their own laundry bec she just..... did everything for them all the time but now is mad that they cant do anything. #like yes i know my dad is a failure of a husband and a father i expected that i'll never be a good enough daughter for him and that the onl #thing he has to say about me is that im bringing shame on our family despite everything ive done but come on #im just tired and upset #its hard not to see yourself as a robot or machine when theres little room to be anything else. #and even on a day like today when i dont feel well it never stops and i just keep doing #im sad i want a hug from my gangster bf #oh god i am sorry pls do not perceive me for this #and yk what #thats why i cant stand when people are nice to me bec all i can think of is #i havent done anything to deserve this? i should have to give something in return #or if not #theres something this person must want because why else would they be nice to me when i havent done anything for them #i cannot fathom the concept that someone just wants me because its me #its literally just not possible why would anyone fo that for me

i see or hear alternative/punk rock content and arata screams at the top of his lungs to let him out

#sorry to be talking about yet another muse but i won't lie!! arata pops into my brain kinda often!! #i'm in my creating/revamping oc's era rn i guess asdf #bc maybe i could just kinda?? scratch all his original stuff and maybe the original stuff for all his bandmates too #refocus him a bit somehow #i'll always be attached to stand out!!'s original dynamic but i also think it'd be nice if i maybe left some of those connections open #for others to take? like you have a muse who would be the front man of a band?? or the drummer?? lead guitarist?? #cool bc arata's a bassist!! play with him!! be his bandmate!! #also just thinking about him being the driving force behind the band -- he's the reason they get together #which was partially the concept before but not completely #i think this time i would want to focus more on the idea that arata pretty much loses stability at home once his parents divorce #his sister doesn't live with him anymore #so he's determined to build a new family even though he doesn't realize that's what he's doing #this band becomes his world not just bc he loves music but bc it's all that he feels he really has -- it keeps him sane #i dunno y'all asdfg i like the idea but should i bring our silly lil bassist back to bug everyone? am i doing too much :' ) #also i'm back!! gonna try to get some things done now that it's quiet <3 #get ready to ramble | ooc

I don’t post my art here very often, but on my social media platforms, I wanted to close out the year with a pic I’m proud of that sorta fits the vibes

Have a ship between a friend and I (she owns the bad lad assassin on the right): Isabella and Crux. I like to call this pic “Intertwined,” hehe. They’re endgame but just don’t know it yet >B)

#pokemon #Raichu #Glowchu #fanart #idk how else to tag this lol #but yeah! this pic is significant bc it’s the first one in a year #that I’ve almost fully completed via art livestream #I don’t usually make illustrations like this either #but somehow everything fell into place #I see some areas of improvement but heck if I ain’t celebrating what I did good on #but yeah uh Isabella is a former duchess turned refugee via the assassination of her father #Crux’s bff Emrys happens to bring her home to their hidden tribe due to his conscience faltering #bc the pokemon who hired him were going to kill Bella themselves #once back at home Crux’s little sister and sole remaining family Lynx #offers to take her in until she can get back on her feet #and surprise they turn into permanent roommates bc they become besties #so kudos to you crux for earning a relationship you weren’t excited about #but hey he and Bella get along surprisingly well after a period of getting to know each other #I own Bella and Em btw and friendo owns the other two lol #anyway that’s our silly lil story for them and I am still obsessed with the narrative #happy new year to the future folks and to the other peeps at midnight #don’t got any plans except to hangout with an old childhood friend tomorrow afternoon #may 2024 be kinder to us all

Unfortunately that kitten had to go back to her foster mom who. I am pretty sure is going to be fired from the shelter we work with because holy fuck she was The worst -_- god she was cute tho im glad i got to spend time with her today

#like at first she was here with her mom who was a beautiful grey cat #but. she was not doing well. something was very wrong. she didnt move at all the entire day #she had brown pus in her eyes #her breathing was uneven. all she could do was move her eyes around really #so we called her to say we need you to come pick her up and get her checked out because she is really sick #and this bitch snaps at us like 'okay well actually shes fine' and just complains at us for making her come back to get her #and we're like. ok man like your cat is very ill sorry for being concerned about not only her health but her babys health too #let ALONE the health of allll the other animals that come into our store + families petting her that may bring back the illness to their own #animals... #anyway so they finally come back to pick her up and its two of them. one is level headed and the other was the bitch lol #like my coworker had taken them out and was sanitizing the cage and she goes 'well thats STUPID theyre from the same home' #and we start to explain that it doesnt fckin matter were doing what we can to keep the kitten as healthy as possible #but luckily het sister or whoever it was cut her off and was like 'nono thats what they should do. thats what vets do im glad theyre doing #that' and then she was like yelling and yada yada yada #anyway. they FINALLY turn to leave but just before she turns around and goes 'oh by the way i brought another cat to replace the mom. #just dont expect him to be bubbly since you expect cats to be so energetic. hes 9' #like. first of all. its fucking insane that you briught another cat in the first place cuz what happens if the kitten is already sick now #second of all. she adds 'also they havent met each other yet. bye' #LIKE WHAT!!!!!!! THE FUCK DO YOU M3AN THEY HAVENT MET EACH OTHET #YOU JUST LEAVE US WITH ONE POSSIBLY INFECTED KITTEN ANNND A SENIOR CAT THAT HASNT EVEN MET THIS KITTEN???!?!?!? #and were supposed to just leave them together overnight and hope for the best???? BITCH #so yeah anyway we ended up having to call the shelter who called the foster mom Again. thankfully her sister showed up to take them both #but then her fckin sister didnt even tell her she was supposed to take bith cats it was sooo. what a night man #just wow lol #thank u 4 coming to my pet store rant

got dinner with the sisters tonight and I had the oh fuck, you're an adult realization about the youngest one.

#it's so wild how being around them brings up so many of my old wounds from childhood (self-inflicted) #that are so clearly just baked into my being at this point #—how I feel really lame in comparison to them #how I find them so keenly social and blossoming in ways I never really felt I could achieve— #but the middle one is adjusting so so well to living alone and coming into her own as an adult in a huge city. it's really awesome to see. #she suffered from middle child syndrome a bit but it made her strong in ways me and the youngest aren't #I think my very desperate need for my sisters to find me cool is SO transparent and close to the surface when I'm with them #and that I fundamentally think they are much cooler and more worldly and experienced than me also feels very close to the surface lol #(those are The Old Wounds ahahaa) #idk I'm not sure I'll ever NOT feel this way. even if I'm the only child who moved out of our state; #even if I've been living alone for many years and they're just freshly out of home #I think it's one of those things that will always be with me because of [mumbles] several influential factors in growing up #and the sort of ... awe and jealousy I've always felt towards them because of how the birth order worked out #with the gap between me and them larger than the gap between the two of them and how our schooling choices broke down #anyways this is maybe the primal wound that has made me so fucking weird/intense about every friendship I've ever had since #I love them more than anyone in the world; I want them to be as impressed by me as I am impressed by them; #I find myself ultimately unimpressive in comparison and that childhood thought will stay with me for -- perhaps -- life #anyways I love them so much and it was awesome spending most of the day with the middle one and getting to make conversation with her. #she is so cool

#fam member got mad me & sister put on masks at our house after she brought her sick kid over #kid was sick enough to stay home from school so why did u bring her here? #we didn't even ask her to leave just covered our faces like girl ur the asshole in this situation not us!!!

#accidentally got into a bit of an argument with my sunday school teacher/youth group leader this morning #(tho I didn't see it as an argument? more of a difference of opinions? slash-me asking for clarification on his points #and opinions on mine? #but my sisters said it felt like I was arguing so. *helpless shrug* that wasn't the intention really) #but the subject was about heaven/the christian's true home #and he was saying that the descriptions of glory and splendor in Revelation (streets of gold/foundations of the city/12 gates/etc) #are all real literal actual descriptions of heaven and that's where we'll open our eyes as soon as we die #and as I'm leaning more and more into 'revelation is largely a prophetic vision and we should be careful not to take too much of it #too literally' lately #I was saying that 'heaven' as we call it is the state of being returned to perfect unity with God + the New Creation #which will be brought about after the end of days #and. yeah. #now I'm largely just confused lol #because it just seems to me like saying 'yeah as soon as I die I'm gonna wake up in a MANSION and there's gonna be JEWELRY EVERYWHERE #and GOLD STREETS and ALL THESE VERY SPECIFIC SYMBOLIC ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES #is... slightly missing the point??? #I personally find it far more hopeful and attractive to say tbh idk what it's gonna be like when I open my eyes on the other side of death #BUT I know that God is going to bring me back!! I will be resurrected in a new body with a new purpose in a new *world* #and it will be every single thing I love about this world but BETTER!!! no death!! no sorrow!!! no pain!! perfect undistracted fulfillment #of my callings!!! a wonderful fantastic beautiful unbroken world and //I// will get to live in it and help cultivate it!!!! #and actually this may be a bit of a rabbit trail but I wonder why the churches I've grown up in don't seem to care that much #about the New Earth? they're all like 'YEAH HEAVEN :D :D :D GOLD STREETS 'N PEARLY GATES :D :D :D' #but never 'hey did you know that all the horrible ways we've destroyed this wonderful place that we live in now will be undone? #and we'll come back to earth but it'll be just like it was in the Garden???? isn't it cool that as much terrible stuff we inflict on #ourselves and others and God's beautiful work of creation it's STILL not more than God can redeem and remake and restore???' #bc that message seems a lot more inspiring to me? not just escapism but restoration and reclamation? #idk. I wish I had people to actually discuss these sorts of spiritual things with around... #maybe I'll find them at college... I really hope I do... #tag ramble #christianity

so i think my mother just basically implied that she thinks i am not just dating but actually having sex of some sort with my neighbor, who she met once for five seconds and who i mention to her as rarely as possible without outright lying lol that’s fun

#there was a men’s t shirt in the washing machine and no one knows whose it is #i agree #it’s very strange! #my sister and i went to goodwill together just before the break and she wears that kind of thing so i think maybe she bought it and my #mother left it on one of our beds and i put it in the wash by mistake yesterday along with #the clothes i was wearing yesterday #my mother whispers to me Is It [your neighbor]'s? #like that is in any way a valid question #Why why why why why would i have his laundry #and why would I bring it back home #And WHY would I put it in the washing machine #also that’s not his shirt size but I did not say that because um that would not help my case #i knew I shouldn’t have let him drive me home for thanksgiving #it has wrought so much disaster

As low as the bar is the UN finds a way under it. It is of course unthinkable to suspend funding to an organization with multiple ties to an international terrorism organization. As unthinkable as mentioning the murdered, brutalized and kidnapped Israelis and Jews.

Spent so much time around my parents today wow i dont belong here i am not the ideal child at all

#i will never be my older sister #tbh i dont have it in me to be jealous anymore #i used to feel that way in highschool but now i just feel #hm. defeated? #like shes a nice person. shes a good person im glad shes not disappointing my parents #if she was like me then we would both make our parents so so sad #she balances things out is what im saying basically #this is why i feel like dying is okay. i might make my parents grieve briefly but theyll move on quickly #especially if they find out i was going to like. bring shame to the family #theyre not cruel people but they dont have room in their home or their hearts for someone who cant use the resources they provide #in the way they deem ideal #they pay for my tuition bc i rejected my offer into art school and chose pysch instead #they pay for my meds bc they want me to be a functioning member of society that can eventually get married to a man and give them grandkids #my life is not supposed to be in my own hands #hah. god im tired #z.post

im going to commit a violence

#my mom has covid and she’s had covid for like a week now and i just texted her asking how she was doing and she said she still doesnt feel #well and her chest has been hurting. she said she tried to go to her doctor but when she said she had chest pain her doctor told her to go #to the hospital. naturally she’s not doing that and said she’s just going to ‘wait until it goes away’ #and then she said she would see me saturday for my brother’s birthday dinner which we were planning to have in a public restaurant. so if #my mom is planning on showing up to a public restaurant still sick with covid then i am not going to fucking be there like sorry to my #brother but we can hang out another time. anyway i am just so fucking pissed off that ppl treat covid like this #last weekend my mom considered bringing my sister with multiple health issues home from her group home for the weekend like normal. except #she fucking has covid. and she was still thinking of doing this #like why would you fucking do that what if my sister got covid what if she brought it back to the entire group home of individuals with #health complications #she didnt actually bring her home but its the same principle going into a public space. what about the people there will health issues or #who have relatives and friends with health issues #im going to call my brother and tell him im not going if our mom is and i told our sister about it too so im sure my mom will get pissy at #me about it but i’d rather deal with her being irritating than having covid so #sam speaks

Oh I remember those days when I’d bring my saxophone home and practiced every night. The first two months of fifth grade band. Good times

#and then once it became sixth grade and we could keep our instruments in the band room. never again. not once. I was a great band kid #inspired by both my sisters bringing their instruments home AND practicing them #gross #band
