Raphael's character class potentially being bard is so fun. casting his tendency to use charm and illusion as not necessarily a devilish trait but instead as a bardic trait being used for devilish ends and suggesting that his cunning is possibly something that was learned rather than something that was innate. and it means he gets to be a bit of a loser <3

haven't been studying Arabic again but i've been trying to recall as much of what i already learned. random words i learned while in class like dajaj (chicken? i think?) or numbers (1-8 consistently, but i forget 9 and 10 easily). trying to recall letters. vowels and most of the really basic letters i can remember, but sometimes i see what i assume is maybe a "p" or a "g" and we didn't practice those a lot.
it's a really beautiful language and i was very impressed with how easy the script was to learn (first time i was able to actually learn another alphabet. tried to learn cyrillic a dozen times unsuccessfully). i used to practice writing the script by spelling names of myself, people i knew, or characters i liked. i have trouble with some of the little different pronunciation things (the long a alif vs the short a marked by a diacritical; q vs k).
i miss my Arabic class and my professor :( she was so nice. sometimes she brought tea or coffee for the class since it was so late at night. i don't like tea or coffee but i appreciated the kindness and generosity.

Got a wrist brace since my knitting led to aching hands. Reminded once again that I have longer and narrower hands than usual as the brace doesn’t hit my palm quite right but the larger size wouldn’t have compressed well at all.
I’m looking into regular compression gloves to wear as a preventative measure so I don’t have to do this again. If I get fingerless, they should fit my hands right.

"Hurt people hurt others/people."<- I've been scrolling again, and I'm getting a little tired of seeing this one repeated all over the place as if it's some kind of absolute. It honestly feels kind of like a retelling of that awful stereotype that most people with PTSD are violent, completely irrational, and totally unpredictable.
Hurt people turning around and hurting others as a result is but one possible outcome, and there are countless factors outside of just the hurt itself that determine what kind of lesson or alteration in values and perspective the hurt person will glean from the experience.
Some hurt people also become highly empathetic, and just the thought of causing anyone pain like what they endured is sickening. (And GTFOH with that whole, "That's not empathy; that's hyperarousal," BS. Hyperarousal doesn't inspire you to care more about others or reflect on your own moral integrity.) Some hurt people isolate and scarcely touch other lives enough to begin to do any serious harm. Some hurt people mask it very well, so that you'd never guess what they've been through.
And some hurt people are in fact the most vulnerable to being hurt all over again, while it's only that much easier for a truly harmful person to gaslight them into believing they're the problem with mindless hot takes like, "Hurt people hurt people," taking hold in the public consciousness.

2020 was a year of firsts for many: the first pandemic in several generations, and for the class of 2024, the very first semester of college, which commenced mere months after the world around it came to a halt.
On March 8, 2020, Ohio State suspended…
