#while i understand documentation

[houseofpurplestars]

What really gets me about the sentiment "Don't look away" is that its always used in the wrong context. People may be well meaning, but what they end up doing is flooding the conversation with zionist carnage in a manner not unlike the way zionists *want* their atrocities to be seen.

Rather than thinking, "I must traumatize myself with this image for Palestine," try, "I will not turn my back on the people of Palestine." Watching them die is not enough. Speaking only of their suffering is not enough.

Don't look away when Palestinians resist. Don't condemn them when they fight for their lives and land. Speak for their rights to live and move freely in their own homeland. Do not look away from their life. Palestinians are here, they remain, and they will remain, and they are in the future, and they will live free and happy lives just as anyone else should be able to.

"Don't look away" should not be a call to engage in real life atrocities like its a horror movie. "Don't look away" should be a call to make Palestine the focus of everything. Don't let people FORGET or IGNORE what is happening. You can talk about what is happening without sharing the same ghoulish photos that zionists love.

#just my two cents #while i understand documentation #there is no lack of evidence here #only lack of accountability #zionism is terrorism #free palestine #free gaza #gaza #palestine #i stand with palestine #free drc #free sudan #free yemen #free lebanon #free hawaii #stop cop city

A List of Hiromasa's Direct Relatives + Random Facts

Saw some posts wondering about Hiromasa's other family, which prompted me to write this up. Info is taken from documents you can find in publicly accessible archives, albeit only in Japanese.

The Guy Himself 源博雅 - Minamoto no Hiromasa [918 - 980] Rank: Junior fourth rank, lower grade (later third rank) Position(s): Captain of the Right Division of Middle Palace Guards (右兵衛督) Middle Captain of the Right Division of Inner Palace Guards (右近衛中將) Ancillary Master of the Empress Dowager's Household (皇太后宮権大夫) When he was 17, he was removed from royal succession and bestowed the title Minamoto Ason*. Apart from the flute, he was also skilled with the biwa, koto and hichiriki. There are numerous stories about him and his incredible musical skill, which I will hopefully cover in a separate post some day. Maybe. He is also known as Hakuga no Sanmi (博雅三位) in reference to his final rank and Lord Long Autumn (長秋卿) in reference to his final position (the Chinese name for the Empress Dowager's household is "Long Autumn") *The Japanese term for this process is shinsekikouka (臣籍降下) This was done because emperors often had many children and under the Ritsuryo legal system, royalty had to be given a certain income, so ennoblement was a way of saving money. The first title of Minamoto Ason was given by Emperor Saga, who had 49 children.

Grandfather 醍醐天皇 - Emperor Daigo [884 - 930] Was emperor from 897 to 930. He actually abdicated the throne after falling ill in 930 and became a monk shortly before he died. He had 36 children across 21 different consorts.

Father 克明親王 - Prince Yoshiakira/Katsuakira [903 - 927] The first son and crown prince of Emperor Daigo. Hiromasa would have been 9 years old when he died.

Mother 藤原時平の娘 - Daughter of Fujiwara no Tokihira Fujiwara no Tokihira was the Minister of the Left (左大臣) for Emperor Daigo. Women often did not have their names recorded, instead being referred to by the title of their fathers or by their sons (e.g Murasaki Shikibu, with her father having a position in the Shikibu-sho (Ministry of Ceremonial Affairs) and Mother of Michizane, the author of Kagero nikki.)

Siblings Most of the info here is from the Honcho Koin Jounroku (本朝皇胤紹運録) (go to page 53) 源正雅 - Minamoto no Tadamasa (younger brother) Rank: Junior fourth rank official, lower grade Position(s): Ancillary Provincial Governor of Tosa Province (土佐権守) Tosa Province is now known today as Kochi Prefecture. 源清雅 - Minamoto no Kiyomasa (younger brother) Rank: Junior fourth rank official, lower grade Position(s): Chamberlain in the Ministry of Central Affairs (侍従) It's unclear whether Tadamasa was older than Kiyomasa or the other way round. 源助雅 - Minamoto no Sukemasa (younger brother) Rank: Junior fourth rank official, lower grade. Position(s): Master of the Western Offices (右京大夫) A lot of websites I've checked claim that Hiromasa also had a sister by the name of Kenshi (妍子女王), but I cannot for the life of me find and actual source for this claim. If you have any info, please tell me!

Children According to the Dai Nihon Shiryo, Hiromasa had four sons. 源信貞 - Minamoto no Nobusada Rank: Junior fifth rank, higher grade Position(s): Lieutenant of the Left Division of Middle Palace Guards (左兵衛尉) A flute player, like his father. He appears briefly in the Kaichikusho, a book on flute music written by musician Oga no Koresue. (go to page 20) 源信明 - Minamoto no Nobuakira Rank: Junior fifth rank, higher grade Position(s): Treasury Senior Assistant Minister (大蔵大輔) Also a known talented biwa player, like his father. 源信義 - Minamoto no Nobuyoshi Rank: Junior fifth rank official, higher grade Position(s): Chief Pharmacist (典薬頭) Chief Court Musician (雅楽頭) Once again taking after his father, being an excellent biwa and flute player. He is the author of the Shinkasho (神歌抄), the oldest surviving manuscript of kagura music. He and his older brother Nobuakira were known for playing music together. 源至光 - Minamoto no Yukimitsu Rank: Junior fifth rank official, lower grade Position(s): Provincial Governor of Hoki Province (伯耆守) Hoki Province is now known today as the western half of Tottori Prefecture. Couldn't find any info on him being a musician, but knowing his family, it wouldn't be out of the question.

#minamoto no hiromasa #heian period #general disclaimer that many of these documents are recounts so we can never be too sure #we're talking century old copies of documents that are centuries older than that #also there are SO MANY POSITIONS IN THE RITSURYO SYSTEM #i've translated them in this case but in many situations you'll probably see them just left in japanese (e.g. sadaijin=minister of the left #ALSO ALSO while i have listed the roles i do not actually understand what they all entail #feel free to correct me on anything because i am not in fact fluent in old japanese #i'm just very persistent

I have to do like, 2 whole (small) programs and an investigation for today and I'm just sitting infront of my pc like

This shit crazy

#This is about Data Structure btw #One is technically finished #But I dont understand stacks fully so im struggling #The other one I just found a document explaining what to do while I was searching stuff for my research #So I hope I dont take long #We hitting the double whammy with this homework #EliGoRamble

Accidentally spent my entire day just SHOULDER DEEP in the tarot hyperfixation. Literally did nothing else. Oops.

Oh, well. Tomorrow I'm helping build a house! With some friends! For charity! I'm looking forward to it. 😊

One of those friends also likes tarot, so I can inflict the Hyperfixation on her without guilt, mwahahaha.

#about me #overidentifying with the hermit #it's because it's October. #Tarot Hyperfixation currently takes the form of a long scrapbook/journal thing that just documents my understanding of the cards #in as much detail as I can manage while still being readable #maybe one day that'll be finished and become the basis for a different creative project

Got my employment contract and it sounds so annoying already

#im selling my body and soul to serve the company #for minimum wage #and there's some really sloppy mistakes in there too #they didn't even get the paragraphs in order #they go 9 10 11 12 11 14 #get it together #and one paragraph just says 'the employee has to undergo an exam upon request' and while this is infuriating enough #someone didn't even proofread that sentence because it doesn't make any sense grammatically #and the beginning and the end of the sentence don't match #you'd either have to adjust the beginning or leave out a word in the end in order to make sense #and that's currently bothering me the most because wtf this is a legal document and you cannot even proofread it #if i make an mistake like this im sure id get some very angry feedback #also decided that i don't want the job badly enough to undergo anything i deem unnecessary #im sure it's nothing dramatic but if they wanna do something i don't want ill accept getting fired lol #also gotta inquire about whether it's okay for me to have another mini job in April and May or if they're against it #('the employee has to dedicate their entire work performance to the company and has to get permission to have any #other paid or unpaid (!) commitments including volunteer work') #(what. should i also ask whether i can function as a 'buddy' for international students since it's a commitment and not technically #free time?? (i understand the not having other paid jobs part but UNPAID stuff? like it's any of their business. killing them honestly) #anyway #i'll shut up now #(my mother has been feeling sick and last year this also ended up in Me throwing up for 3 days straight #and guess what #i can see how tonight is gonna go ♡ i will be complaining ♡ (not me literally wishing for something like this when i had my #little ed relapse recently. im sorry body. i take it back. this sucks so bad i do not actually want it) #vois screams

i'm so ready for today to be fucking over

#there's something uniquely upsetting about my mum sitting over my shoulder while I'm trying to fill out disability forms #that I already don't fucking understand but i'm doing my best to fill out #and then her getting mad at ME when she doesn't understand something that I also don't understand #girl you are 51 years old and I am barely pushing 20 rn of the two of us I should be the one confused #and THEN #when I do the mature thing and say okay lets take a break and finish filling this out some other time because it's not urgent #and we don't have all the paperwork we need for it together yet anyway #she loses her shit at me for being ungrateful for her help #Is the help in the room with us right now? #what the fuck are you talking about #all you have been doing is sitting behind me and telling me to hurry up like I'm not filling out an important government document #just starry things

And if so what kind of podcasts do yall listen to? I’m looking for topic/genre suggestions

#rambles #podcast ideas #help #;-; i dont know what i want to do #cause also solo podcasts can be kinda hard cause its just me rambling for a while #idk what type of content to make cause i also really wanna make videos but I'm not sure what genre of video is the best for me #like i could do art tutorials like i planned but i don't think that's the best thing for me #cause i suck at explaining things #and gaming can be fun but im scared that my laptop won't be able to handle most games that arent the sims #i could keep playing Pokemon but I kinda wanna keep it to myself #and I'm kinda good at rambling about anything and everything but thats usually with someone else there #idk man #i also thought of doing fashion and makeup videos but im not very good at those #i guess I could try though #document my journey into understanding fashion and makeup a bit more #and eventually my journey of learning to be a nail tech and nail artist #should I just go back to making sims gameplay videos? #but then what would I do for patreon based on that? #cause i really would love to set up a patreon too to work with my channel or whatever i end up doing #*cries*

I almost wish I had dementia so I could read your fics every week as if it was for the first time.

(While waiting for that I'll just keep rereading them cause they are ♥️♥️♥️).

I do not wish dementia upon you, but I appreciate the sentiment of wanting to read my fics again for the first time! Thank you so much, I'm so glad you like them! ❤️

#I got an ask! #Thank you! #This is a strange way of saying that but I get you! #I can understand that as a reader #But as a writer oh my God what a nightmare it would be to have to REWRITE all your fics over from memory #Like if you deleted the document before it was posted #Oh my God worst nightmare #I remember clearly once writing DYH #I use Microsoft Word because I got it free as a student lol #Anyway long series of events but the power blinked and I hadn't saved in a while #Which was unusual for me but I was on a roll I guess #And I almost fucking screamed #But I recovered most of what I lost #So thank God for my tech wizard spouse who helped me recover it lol #Whole ass story in the tags #Sorry guys

I've been incredibly out of sorts this week...

I dislike this, I'm having to police my emotions to such a high degree 😡

And it's not just irritability, either. My emotions have been all over the place, hyper and happy and manic, next ready to snap at the slightest sound, then goofy again, before being very depressed. And on and on and on. 'Round and 'round we go, where we stop, heaven help us all.

#and there's so much noise to set me off in the office these days #I've got 3 drivers on modified duties in my office #one who's helping the Kid with pick up bookings #her customer service voice is like the receptionist from Office Space #so that's just not going to drove me up the wall #another who i have nothing for him to do #so he sits at the coffee station grunting every 5 seconds #at least when he's not arguing with people on his phone because they can't understand what he's saying in his nasally mumbling voice #dude! i know how to spell your name and even i can't get that from what saying #use the godsdamned nato phonetic alphabet saying the same easily misunderstood letter even when nicely enunciated over and over again while #getting progressively more pissed off and less intelligible doesn't work #and the third spends most of his time with his head is hands #then there's the faint sounds of F's podcasts distracting me #and the Kid bouncing his foot against the chair leg #then somebody will start scanning and somebody will use the xerox to scan a small forest of documents #and i am sitting there getting more and more overwhelmed with no way out #can't put in my earphones I'd just be pulling them out every 5 seconds to answer a phone or gate or something else #i need the number of people in my office to drop by at least one very loud asshat blocking the coffee station #he's the worst #and if i have to listen him repeatedly fail to voice dial a contact again while the phone is in his fucking hand 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

i understand why many fountain pen users prefer subdued, more professional ink colours but the thing about me is i dont use my pens much outside of drawing and writing in my planner or oc idea notebook so i’m armed with three jinhaos and one kakuno each with a different shimmer ink at all times

also signing documents with in glittery pink is awesome

#like okay. if an ink isnt a waterproof one (sketchink has been great for watercolours!) than i AT LEAST need some pretty crazy shading #but im not gonna lie i got a bunch of samples a while back and most were funky glittery sheening shading things #and one was like a normal dark green #its a beautiful dark green. but i like. never fill my pens with it #i had a pen with it and after a week i switched it to a gray with gold sparkles #i NEED glitter you dont understand #a few downsides to my glittery fountain pen situation: #1) with fountain pens in general since you dont press hard at all carbon paper is my mortal nemesis #like i already struggled with carbon paper before (had to rewrite so many documents twice 😔) #but with a fountain pen? forget about it hjksdlfJHFKlds #AND 2) the other day in class i lent a kid the pen i was using so he could sign in a form #without thinking about the fact that it was my shark shaped jinhao with 1) is a fountain pen with most people arent used to writing with and #2) was filled with a sample of ferris wheel april showers (glittery light gray) which is decently wet #i hoped they survived that short experience with my shark pen. i gotta start carrying around normal pens again for lending purposes LOL #edit: oh man and at the time the nib in there was an old FPR m nib but today i switched it to an old FPR flex #imagine ur first fountain pen experience being a flex nib.... chaos reigns

next time someone immediately switches to English with me because I can't fucking hear what they're saying or I'm just taking a while to process what they said because my auts are tismed I'm just fucking killing myself in front of them (don't open the tags unless you want to see me complaining too much)

#well like i KNOW they're trying to be helpful but i really dislike it #the only time i prefer english is when it comes to like bank housing legal shit etc #where if i fuck up with my polish it can have Consqeuences but i know the interlocutor knows english on a professional level #aside from that i'm like -_- #te słowa znam po prostu mam raczej powolny mózg!!! #no but it irritated me when one professor was asking about my “situation” before class once #idk even why? bc like it's pretty obvious i'm a foreigner #given my name accent and grammatical errors #but she asked if i was like. an exchange student or a regular student #and the question was weird to me so i was like huh? #and so she asked again in english and like #did i ask to use english #why would you assume that i need to do that when i turned in a research essay that you yourself said is good #and required me to read a bunch of academic articles in polish #like CLEARLY i understand the language on a communicative level #whatever i just responded in polish and she didn't use english again but #STOP!!! #(admittedly kind of funny because the question was still baffling to me in english so she asked if i knew english #because while i'm american my accent DOESN'T make it immediately obvious) #oh yeah i had to email this one guy from the admissions committee because the whole process of submitting documents #as a foreigner is an Ordeal #and at one point he was like 'if you have any questions you can write in english too!' #which didn't really annoy me because he was only offering and only wrote that sentence in english #but like pls you are literally handling my admission to the POLISH PHILOLOGY program why would i want to use english here #anyways i do get sad bc i DO need more live conversational practice in polish #since i self-studied and got none #to the point my language competency interview for this uni were my first time actually SPEAKING polish #but like i'm painfully aware of how my speech is so i don't converse with anyone #bc i feel they'll just get annoyed with me #and so the problem doesn't much improve itself

applying for ML things that require u to sign an NDA is soooo funny bc like . ur gonna monetise this widescale as soon as u know enough ppl want it anyway . "NDA" as if u have any integrity . whatever

#thinking abt those two employees who got instantly fired for writing papers on how harmful LLMs can be #models like GPT3 are cool and all etc etc but do u understand the amt of destruction they can cause. like environmentally #carbon emissions are off the charts . think abt gpt3 and how the entirety of eng wikipedia makes up only 0.6% of it #training 1 large scale lang model will create about 300 tonnes of emissions . like . i need everyone to understand the basic principle of #dont fire ur employees who care abt the earth while also doing NOTHING to make ur energy cleaner. while also not demonising #something as abstract and potentially barrier breaking + beneficial + fascinating as AI . the solution is staring u right in the fucking #face . but noooo sign another NDA. fire ur employees . someone will write another script or article abt how AI is evil. whatever. #personal #p.s. ik the ndas arent abt just that but ! its still frustrating. gpt3 is open now but in early stage beta when they were #selective w it they had massive amts of documents abt how not to ruin the world or w/e. a lot of models do #im being so dramatic lmao. im also correct !

Was listening to a jonmartin podfic in my dreams and it was so good and soft but then i woke up and i can't access that fic again :((

#it was. so soft yall #like they were on a mission and they were separated but they were using a communicator and being bitch4bitch as usual #and i was just chilling. eating some almonds and cleaning my room and listening to a very well voice acted story #(in the dream) #but alas now i am awake #tho the dream Did give me a deeper understanding of how their relationship works #so thats neat #first things i did after waking up (besides trying to go back to the dream) #was write out a comprehensive document about their dynamic before i forget this wisdom granted by my subconscious #imagine if my dreams regularly gave me a better understanding of media ajfjjf #anyways all that to say that it was a great dream. i wish i could get to read more og fanfics while im sleeping #i might actually develop a sleep schedule #tma #<- sorry personal tag #myar #2022

im scared and dont want to watch the vod is it so over?

like so incredibly over

#i have to add that she did not name any names and i completely understand why she didn’t #however there are several instances in the vod in which it’s very obvious to me and everyone i’ve spoken to that it’s about wil #the ex was british she constantly flew in to visit him he would BITE her (wil has a long documented history of doing to ppl) she said he was #focused on how much more rich and famous he could get and he was going away for a long time for a reason she did not name but it was #almost definitely his tour #also just the way she would quote her ex i could practically hear the words coming out of wil’s mouth #also also she mentioned that she only blocked him AFTER they had been broken up for a while and i personally mentioned evidence of her #blocking him a few months ago when his second album came out which would align with the timing #i think it’s very obvious who she’s talking about but at the end of the day i’m technically speculating eye twitches
