It's fall here. Yesterday I was talking to my husband while I got ready to take the dog for a walk just before sunset.
That's when I heard a strange sound. I stopped talking and cocked my head to the side. "Do you hear that?" I asked.
"Hear what?"
I listened for a moment. "Crows," I concluded. I headed for the front door.
"You're hearing crows?" my husband asked. "Don’t—don't follow them, Jesus!"
I hummed absently as I opened the front door and stepped outside. Sure enough, the tall trees in the forest across the street were filled with crows, cawing loudly before their dusk flight.
"Come out here," I called to my husband. But he refused, said that was 'eldritch horror white people shit' and wouldn't follow me.
I ignored him and walked the dog while listening to Disturbed's cover of The Sound of Silence. The sound of hundreds of crows really added to the ambiance.
I love fall.

I'm apart of a facebook group all about fall and halloween and someone posted on there wanting to know what family friendly-ish halloween movies she could show her 8-year-old. She had already seen Hocus Pocus, and I assume she was looking for things like Halloweentown, although she stated she wasn't too worried about cussing in movies because the 8-year-old apparently some how watched Child's Play without mom, and she'd be there for all movie watching.
Someone commented Human Centipede.
For an 8-year-old.
And in his comment, he added that it would teach her stranger danger.

I love how on Tumblr, "media literacy" has become "Um, just because someone writes about this doesn't mean they're endorsing this. I hate all these media puritans ruining everything."
I'm sad to inform you that knowing when and whether an author is endorsing something, implying something, saying something, is also part of media literacy. Knowing when they are doing this and when they're not is part of media literacy. Assuming that no author has ever endorsed a bad thing is how you fall for proper gander. It's not media literacy to always assume that nobody ever has agreed with the morally reprehensible ideas in their work.
Sometimes, authors are endorsing something, and you need to be aware when that happens, and you also need to be aware when you're doing it as an author. All media isn't horny dubcon fanfic where you and the author know it's problematic IRL but you get off to it in the privacy of your brain. Sometimes very smart people can convince you of something that'll hurt others in the real world. Sometimes very dumb people will romanticize something without realizing they're doing it and you'll be caught up in it without realizing that you are.
Being aware of this is also media literacy. Being aware of the narrative tools used to affect your thinking is media literacy. Deciding on your own whether you agree with an author or not is media literacy. Enjoying characters doing bad things and allowing authors to create flawed or cruel characters for the sake of a story is perfectly fine, but it is not the same as being media literate. Being smug about how you never think an author has bad intentions tells me you're edgy, not that you're media literate. You can't use one rule to apply to all media. That's not how media literacy works. Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Aheem heem. Anyway.

For decades, the blank vision that Iudex Neuvillette wears near his heart has been subject to much discussion in Fontaine. Nobody remembers who it had once belonged to or why the ancient dragon protected it so jealously. It is said that if the Chief Justice would to stare at it for a long while, it would be sure to rain right after. Oh, how beloved that person must've been.

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.
