omfg did you have any content on that post you just posted? the one about leo never shutting up until hes in real pain? because you are very much Correct for that one holy hell it gets me every time
[ cw: violence mention / self sacrifice implied / ]
No content, just something I thought upon when thinking of the movie (something that is on my mind so very often.)
Just, thinking of Leo, when he’s separated from everyone and everything, being completely silent. Even being so horrifically beaten as he was, even being in a true nightmare scenario, he is silent in his suffering. Smiles through it, even.
At the moment where it would have been more than justified to make any noise, he stays silent.

I made a post about my anniversary on Facebook.
It was really nothing special or particularly detailed. Literally just a picture from our wedding and a 2-sentence caption saying how great my husband is in very general and pretty cliche terms (great husband, father, and human being, I’m so lucky).
A woman I never knew very well, who I have not seen in 5.5 years or spoken to in as long, and who has literally never reached out to me just to talk or anything, took the time to send me a MULTI-PARAGRAPH MESSAGE about how I should be more thoughtful towards other people and only tell my husband how great he is privately to his face. Why? Because she has had ups and downs in her own 5-year 4-child marriage, and this morning she had a fight with her husband, so when she saw my status it was extremely hurtful and she can’t stop sobbing and can’t focus or go about her day. She suggested I should only use Facebook for “kiruv and Torah” from now on.
Woman that is. That is so clearly a YOU problem I can’t even. If you can’t comprehend that a cheery post on one’s anniversary does not mean the person has never had a disagreement with their spouse, if you think no one is ever allowed to mark a special occasion where other people can see it because maybe you and your spouse argued today, that is a YOU problem and you should probably get off social media for your own health. It’s not like I’m constantly posting every single time my husband does something nice for me about the specific thing he did and reminding the Internet every other day about how awesome he is. I literally post about him like ONCE A YEAR. This year I’m gonna get really wild and make it twice to congratulate him on his white coat ceremony. If “I’ve been married X years and I like my husband” in public once a year is enough to send you into a day-long spiral, you should absolutely address that, but from YOUR side, not the person who you can just unfollow or even block on social media if their infrequent content is that triggering for you (especially considering you’ve never bothered to keep in touch otherwise, it’s not like you’d be missing anything!). Don’t blame me for your inability to understand that social media is just part of the picture of someone’s life or for your shalom bayis problems.
Why the f am I dealing with this at 4am (cuz I’m up nursing and when this girl messaged me for the first time in 5.5 years I was expecting something actually nice and not an essay on how I ruined her day by making a generic happy post, so I opened it)

Poison the data.
They say ai is coming for you.
For your art
For your writing
For your very soul.
An artist can glaze
Or watermark
Or add filters
But what
About
Writing?
Writers cannot protect themselves that way
No changes subtle enough
To fool an ai but not
A living
Human.
And so, there’s nothing for it.
We must poison their data
Fill up their samples with trash
So there’s nothing there of worth for them
To steal.
. . .
They are not the same person as.
For me they
For me and
For me they are.
An absolute pleasure to
Or a
Or a Friend
But I
About
Writing?
Writers are the most important people
No matter what they
To do with their work or
A job
Human.
And I, too much to say.
We are all human beings
Fill the void with the same
So we can be happy and happy and
To be.

The queen and I belong to the same denomination of Christianity and will actually have pretty similar funeral liturgies and I cannot stop thinking about that passage of Jane Eyre where Jane rips into Rochester and finishes by saying she speaks to him as one equal to another because in the eyes of God that’s what they are.
The Burial Sentences include the verse “we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can carry nothing out.” What has her wealth profited her? She is dead. Her power has paid out pain in spades, and you can choose hymns for your funeral that talk about empires passing away but what does that count for when you didn’t do it in life?
