I enjoy those posts that refer to instincts of the human mind as "monkey brain" "chimpanzee brain" "gorilla brain" "orangutan brain" (etc.) as though human brains are some blend of all of the other primates and our instincts are like specific primates "talking" to us. I mean that's really not how it works but it's fun to imagine it that way

#rambles #orangutan posting #primate posting #i'm talking about those posts that are like #human: what should i do today?#chimpanzee brain: scream at every mild annoyance #gorilla brain: throw things #orangutan brain: sit and eat fruit all day #you know what i mean #i think they're fun #though they can get pretty inaccurate #plus bonobos are usually left out (and when they are included it's always some comment about their sex habits-#-which i mean... it's not incorrect... but.)#bonobos are the least talked about of the great apes despite being about equally related to us as chimpanzees #they look very similar to chimps and they were considered chimps until they were recognized as their own species relatively recently #their behavior is so different from chimps despite being so visually similar #idk i think they should be known more outside of the ape fanbase (definitely a thing) especially since they are so endangered

How do you feel about the increase in really weird NSFW ads on here (advertising panels that look like sexual encounters, and AI art apps that pride themselves on porn) but will take down NSFW posts from their users, even if it isn't technically sexual.

i hate all social media and it's consistent prioritising the advertisers over the users and the internet simply was a better place before capitalism sunk its hooks into it

#i could write essays about how capitalism ruined the internet.#i was actually talking to someone earlier today about how youtube was kind of effectively ruined by monetisation.#and they were raised in the soviet union and we had a bit of a talk about how art was better because it wasn't for profit.#the people who made art made it because they wanted to do it and because they loved it.#she said that communism was terrible for every aspect of life for her. people's lives under communism wasn't pretty.#but the art was better. and i feel like it's true for the internet – it was better when it was a free-for-all.#the companies didn't know how to exploit it yet and turn it into a neverending profit-driven hellscape.#people created content because they wanted to. because they wanted to make something silly to make people laugh.#not for profit. not for gain. not for numbers. not to further their career.#i miss the days of newgrounds and youtube before monetisation.#capitalism has soiled everything that's joyful and good in this world.#people should be able to share whatever they want.#people should be able to tell any story they want without the fear of being silenced by advertisers.#that's what made the internet so beautiful before. anyone could do anything and we all had equal footing.#but now we're victims of the algorithm. and it makes me sick.#i'm quitting my job in social media. i'm quitting it. it makes me too depressed. i have an existential crisis every freaking day.#every day i wake up and say "ah. this is the fucking hell we live in #i'm so sorry i feel so passionate about this.#social media is a black hole and it is actively destroying humanity. forget ai. social media is what's doing it.#i miss how beautiful the internet used to be. it should've been a tool for good. but it's corrupt and evil now.#sci speaks

wishing everyone who celebrates a happy easter and an even happier transgender day of visibility 🐣🪩🫶🪽

#went to church with my mom for the first time in years just because we thought it could be fun (it was!) and im thinking about. themes #resurrection and rebirth belongs to trans and nonbinary people and if i was going to pray i would thank god for making me queer !!!#the middle picture is from a disco themed university party we had on (holy) thursday where i had So much fun #(the crucifix earring was Mostly ironic and for the aesthetic)#been experiencing a lot of queer joy lately. as well as some new and complicated but Good feelings about gender. and maybe religion as well #anyway.#easter #religion #gender #tdov #trans day of visibility #lgbtq #queer #mine #💛#religion mention #christianity mention #<- just in case people dont want to see anything to do with religion in the trans tags today (or ever) !! <3 sorry if i missed something #edit: i originally also had a quote from julian k. jarboe here about humanity partaking in the act of creation #but i didnt realize the quote was from a jewish person regarding judaism so i removed it from the association with easter and christianity #the quote itself slaps and idk to what degree different religions and discussions or art about them should be kept separated !!#but im not the authority on that and ofc dont want to make anyone uncomfortable !!

hey man. i'm just saying. why would we put inexperienced teenagers with over-inflated egos and obvious emotional issues into combat classes and make them claw their way to the top of their dorms and expect things to just run smoothly. who actually thought this

#the reason rsa doesn't have overblots is because they understand the joy and whimsy of life and friendship btw #LIKE. why is there no school counselor?? do you know how much time & resources & effort & TRAUMA we could have saved the students &#school from if ANYONE had reached out to riddle and was like 'hey are you alright i heard xyz and i wanted to let you know...' ESPECIALLY #since TREY LITERALLY TELLS US 'oh well here's the lowdown on her trauma this is Probably what is causing this'#or if someone sat down to tell leona 'hey! i'm rooting for you in ur magift(?) game! you're my fav player!!' AND LET HIM FEEL NOTICED #or if someone approached azul as an Equal to try to stop his plans. as a friend even. BEYOND A BUSINESS TRANSACTION #or if ANYBODY BUT ESPECIALLY KALIM was like 'jamil i think you should follow your passions and do something you enjoy today!!' or AT LEAST #let him know he was appreciated as a person NOT JUST FOR HIS WORK #'i know you're doing a lot today but i just wanted to thank you for how much Effort you put into this and..' etc etc etc #ERM.. IF ANYONE TREATED VIL LIKE A HUMAN BEING AND NOT A CELEBRITY??? or even 'hey i loved you in this film i was wondering if we could #do a play together or something..!!' AND LET HER TRY A TYPE OF CHARACTER SHE NEVER GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE. and sing her praises.#if anyone reached out to idia beyond a 'hey the teacher said to come to class'/'get out of your bed and come to our housewarden meeting'#or even. IF ORTHO HIMSELF was like. 'you know it's not your fault... you didn't cause all of this. not really' OR SOMETHING #or if malleus ever got to experience a small firsthand loss AND WAS COMFORTED THROUGH IT. not just quick fix via magic. not replacing. just #GRIEVING SOMETHING??????? and wasn't feared by literally everyone #um. maybe the real twisted part is that all of this tragedy was easily preventable if we had a support system in place.#but idk. twst is a highschool. there's no support in real high school either. i'd probably overblot too if i could ajdjrjfinfdndjd #twst #chatter #LONG RAMBLE SORRY #yes overblots are essential to the plot. but also. do you know how frustrating it is watching the blot build up and sitting in silence.#I'M SORRY IK IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS WAS HAPPENING TO A GUY I JUST MET I WOULD PROBABLY NOT NOTICE.. but of it was my Friend or Housewarden..#I'D ASK BRO.... I'D ASK ... UGHHHHHUUUHHHH #not that anyone would notice if *I* was about to lose it tbh #speaks volumes about our society o think #OKAY NOW I'M DONE FOR REAL

Fuck you. Red Dwarf: Better Than Life novel fanart

"Lister did something then he wouldn't have done in any other circumstances whatsoever. He started to eat a sofa.

This seemed to go down well. There was a cacophony of whirrs, clicks and whistles, and the cockroaches circled in delight.

'Well, it's been absolutely wonderful,' Lister found himself saying. 'Terrific place you've got here,' he said to the mother roach. 'And you serve a wicked rotting sofa. But I really must be going.' He nodded, threw in a few clicks and whistles for good measure, and climbed on the first roach's back. It waddled speedily down the length of the cave, and flung itself over the mountain side. "

#red dwarf #infinity welcomes careful drivers arrived today!!! im tempted to read it at school tomorrow but its dr who day :/ i should honour the doc #better than life #my first rd fanart ever :)) the earth lore is so dark holy shit fuck #imagine you woke up some day and every human was dead but you and you had no one to return to so you figure #guess ill just fly back to earth and see if its still there. what else would i do #and then you crash landed on an ice world and then the ice age suddenly fucking ended and there was garbage everywhere and acid was raining #and slowly but surely you realize; after you narrowly escape acid rain and fire rain; that this IS earth #because while you were sleeping Earth was designated Garbage World and all the Garbage was dumped there and it just flew away off into spac #and then you were left to your own devices on the garbage planet with 8ft roaches on it for 34 fucking years #anyway. im normal about it.

me after attempting to get back into sims and realizing i had a lot more to do than play the game

#hi everyone #I’m going around hugging you all #okay now that we are gathered here today #i will simply acknowledge that i have been gone for a very long time and then also acknowledge that maybe it was for the best #i relied on sims to be my only creative activity even if i tried to write a book at the same time #and also. i prioritized sims over real life responsibilities. that’s just a deadly combination lol #but I recently noticed I just replaced sims with Netflix. with YouTube. with anything that gave me quick dopamine #literally became addicted in a sense. still am but I’ve been cut cold turkey from most everything #I get off work and go. okay I’ve done the dishes and the laundry……..I could read or write or bake….#I try to write and sometimes i get a good hour #then I read for a few hours and then get tired of it #and I made cookies Tuesday so I’m waiting for those to be gone before baking again #I’m just so pitiful that I feel BORED and don’t know what to do #so I said….. okay what if I do sims for an hour.#I downloaded some new cc Tuesday and tried to play yesterday #y’all ……………….. I can’t find the energy anymore to set up elaborate scenes and pose my sims and plan posts #I said wow… this is boring without my intervention and fake story #I said wow…….. all this for what? for tumblr? yes I created cool things and provided joy. but is that inherintly important compared to my #own joy? my own everyday activities I should be doing?#y’all I do not leave the house unless we got out to eat or shop or travel to our parents #.. I have little desire to. I’m trying to find that desire #but my husband is busy with grad school and work and I don’t want to do anything by myself #I’ve found myself in one heck of a slump #I didn’t want to be human for awhile. just had no desires no interests no ambitions #I was slacking off SO HARD at work. I just had no drive to do well #I’m still working on it. I’m still trying to get caught up. I’m still trying to force myself to move every day.#but I am struggling y’all. and I can tell you that sims… sims isn’t helping rn but I want it to so bad. I want to get back into it #I didn’t mean to disappear on everyone. I got married and then life got busy and then I fell into this hole of nothing #I didn’t even WANT to crawl my way out. but my husband has helped a lot. I feel like such a child!!!!#I reached max tags. 🙃 bye love you all. till next time

Given that there are only two possibilities of real hair being shown in Queen Amidala's outfit ensembles (both by Sabe and Padme), I do wholly believe that it is a rule (written or unwritten) that queens of Naboo must cover their hair. I WILL go into depth if asked.

#'real' in this sentence meaning attached to human still #yes i am aware the wigs were probably made from real people hair. but that's not what I mean here. i just #cant think of another way to say what i mean? at this second my head is blank #i do think those two occurances should also be wigs tho... but again i will go into depth if asked #but also im really busy today so ask tomorrow xoxo #anyway this has been a huge passion of mine since i started drawing roona #like huge thing for me #i care VERY much about this #sabe #padme amidala #queen amidala #star wars

as someone who works in the mental health field. the way some of you talk about mentally ill elderly people is absolutely atrocious and i’m going to need you to start seeing the elderly as human. that will be you one day and you’re going to wish younger folks had more compassion.

#like talking about how mentally ill / suicidal geriatric people should ‘just deal with it until they die’ like what is wrong with you??#the elderly are HUMAN. a lot of them have loads of trauma and a lot of them have never been able to unpack that trauma.#even if it’s ‘just a joke’ do you hear yourselves? they can hear you!!#geriatric folks have so much to offer our communities and they shouldn’t be left to suffer because of their age.#mental health care should be for EVERYONE who needs it.#eno.txt #sorry i heard some shit today and got very angry!!!

you can tell my next term in grad school is starting in a few days bc my brain has gone and pulled out its whole "so now sounds like a really good time to get sucked into replaying [old video game obsession], eh? eh? great idea right? :D" schtick in the past week

jail for brainmeats 10 thousand years

#content is for other people #getting back into classes should probably be good for me all things considered but like. consider instead. what if star wars #......maybe I should like. actually watch Andor or something and make myself vaguely capable of socializing with other modern humans #if I'm gonna be in that mood anyway #(shakes head. stars. not in position. can't do it. not today.)

Song of the Day: December 9

"Allies or Enemies" by the Crane Wives

#song of the day #today class we will be discussing a tale of human suffering #so I mentioned yesterday how 'Slow Ride' by Foghat was the song of the day because of how the first ninety seconds were continuous-looping #alright yeah so now imagine me sitting shotgun as we drive half an hour to the movie theater #(to see Godzilla Minus One. it was bitchin I do very very recommend)#and the boys are discussing the latest construction along our highway #which has been a topic of great consideration for me actually #--I had a thought about erosion patterns and groundworks the other day and I went on a whole research spiral #downloaded some guy's doctoral research and all. we know how the research spirals go--#anyway this is a topic I would have loved to weigh in on!#but instead every mental width of band I had was dedicated to my subconscious' dogged insistence #that the assonance and emphasis and rhythm of 'are we allies or enemies' and 'slow ride / take it easy' were similar enough #that I should be able to find a way to match them up to one another's backings #so the boys were like 'Alexis what do you think of those pylons' and I was trying so so so hard to answer #(I think they're moving the I-95 interchange ramps entirely and adding a new lane over--y'all can't see me point. it's over there though)#I was trying so hard to answer but it was like a little cartoon man trying to climb up a rockslide #except the man is my answer about the bridges for the interstate ramps #and all the comically round rocks ponking off his forehead were different ways a person might be able to scrunch and/or stretch syllables #to fit the choruses of these two songs over one another. 'are we slow ride guitar sounds death of mee'#anyway yeah! I've got all these little focusing tricks painstakingly cultivated over three decades of ADD and living with little siblings #and now we know they can all every single one be absolutely obliterated by the lightest application of a single classic Foghat song

i think when i'm at home i don't really mask bc my family is equally as weird as me so i can basically do whatever shit i want

#like i just #sat on the floor after dinner and started bouncing #and ended up sort of ranting about everything i do to act like a human #and my mom was like how do you act literally all day for eight hours everyday??#also i mentioned good omens on two different occasions like twenty minutes after the convo that i related to it was over #like i'm genuinely kinda happy rn?#it feels weird #to be this happy #ive just been existing #literally bouncing around my kitchen #making weird noises #and saying pretty much whatever?#my dad also related to a lot of what i was saying so now idk if either of them are neurodivergent #but then in public around people #if this is how i naturally am then i'm definitely masking #i can't tell whether or not it's disabling me so i still don't know if it's autism #but whatever #i've been posting a lot today i think i should shut up lmao #borf barks #i'm really glad my family is like this

Okay so. What I noticed is that... Acanthe and Uruwashi no Nightingale are the only instances in which nature is just... Left alone? As it is? And signifies positive things. And that fact cane to me a few hours ago and it blew my mind.

Yes there are instances of nature in other Valkyrie songs but most of the time it's about the moon and stars and how they use them to weave something different. Flowers and birds are mentioned but they're mostly used for the past or to like the flowers raisanka to mourn the dreamers that passed away. Then there's the sand in sajou no roukaku which is mostly trapped inside the hourglass, spilled and forgotten. Nature in past Valkyrie songs is mostly about grieve, memories or something to use to build, construct and weave something hopeful. What's manmade is what's beautiful.

Not in Acanthe or Uruwashi no Nightingale though

They're bringers of life and hope. They don't need to be curated into something else, they in and off themselves have value and beauty in them. Nature is no longer a sign of mourning or the past, it's the future and the now.

I don't know if they'll continue doing with these themes or if it's just themes that will be applied to Mika alone. But it's just... I cannot believe it took me so long to notice it or make the connection.

#utter rambling #enstars #valkyrie #smth smth shu's character growth letting go of his controlling tendencies #smth smth mika learning to be human and letting go of the thoughts of being a doll #i cannot elaborate much more the sheer moment where everything clicked took enough out of me #and then going to do some reasearch to make sure I remembered correctly took the rest of my energy out #anyway I've spent the last 3 hours unhinged until I could put this together like I was possesed #I should not be legally allowed to listen to Uruwashi no Nightingale this is what happens when I do after at least two months #*frantically hides all the notes talking I have about the parallels between nightingale and memoire antique in a chest*#I'm not going through another rabbit hole today also those ones can be ignored it's just me in conspiracy board trying to make things click #probably.... hopefully....#someone take those thoughts away from me before I succumb I cannot desl with more today

guess who got an idea for another comedy essay (it's me. i do not have time to write essays other than my current school work rn but oh my goddd my brain is stilly in comedy analysis mode)

#this essay in particular would be about the common themes explored in kids in the hall vs i think you should leave #bc of course we can compare and contrast their comedy style and technique (which would definitely be part of the essay)#but one thing i always find interesting with sketch shows is how even tho most sketch shows don't intentionally have a central theme/topic #comedians and comedy troupes do have themes they gravitate towards consciously or unconsciously #not gonna spoil the essay bc if i start listing what these themes are for the two shows i will just fall into writing the whole essay now #but the crux of it is how kith never did commercial parodies and never parodied specific things in the pop culture and politics of the time #and was much more about human behaviour #vs ITYSL does have infomercials and commercial parodies etc. but it wasn't until today that i noticed they do something very odd with them #that actually does kind of carry through the KITH ethos that's a byproduct of *not* doing commercials #and more closely resembles the KITH view than it does the more mainstream SNL view #idk this might not make sense i'm being vague on purpose bc if i write the essay now my work will not get done

THE TECH INTERACTIVE

#someone should take the sharkuda to the tech interactive!! the top floor exploded my brain and it would definitely explode their brains too #my parents and i were originally going to go to the sharks game but i got miserly and waited too long to get tickets and also. do you know #hard it is to get a set of *three* tickets together. impossible for less than $80 apparently!! the drive down was also very stressful #because we were trying to get lunch on the way down the peninsula and my dad thought my mom only wanted in n out but the two drive throughs #we tried had like twenty cars lined up and my dad lost his temper in the parking lot and my mom said it didn't HAVE to be in n out so my da #peeled outta there and we went to his favorite taqueria in the area which had a HUGE salsa and side bar (for free! i squirreled away two #whole limes) and their carne asada super burrito settled everyone down :))#by the time we got to san jose the puck had already dropped so decided to pivot and check out the tech interactive since my mom and i hadn'#had time the last time we were here in the summer and oh my GOB THEIR HUMAN BODY EXHIBIT IS. WOW. it was a lovely time walking around #looking very closely at very realistic models of human organs :3 and oh! my mom and i made a bacteria plate together :3 and my dad and i #made a robot with a spinning fish and flashing lights on it :3 and i fell asleep most of the way into the serengeti film in the imax dome :#and then we went to the 99 ranch where the dungeness crab was THREE NINETY NINE. and my mom got some big napa cabbages and one little one #for me :3 and oh then the guy ahead of us in the checkout gave me his $1 coupon for the bakery :3 #and that's what i did today!!#sor.txt
