anyone else get periods of like. idk intense weepiness like the world is just so massively suffocatingly beautiful? humans struggling through history (history including the present) and the horrors are so real and sometimes we've turned on the ones closest to us but we [humanity at large] didn't give up. or the vast symphonic cacophony of human languages, spectrums of expression like a ray of light striking an opal, scattering into innumerable dazzling scintillations, but in this sea of delightful chaos, I can speak to you. and across the confines of language we reach out to express to connect to spark and see the spark in the Others, across cultures across time we will build bridges aashdahdhahhhhhh infrastructure and architecture is so cool this glorious experiment of life on life on life and all its expressions will continue and hopefully will continue even when I'm gone.. well, it must coalesce because the threat of nuclear war and annihilation means ALL humans lose. eons of love cannot end here. the ultimate tragedy of the last link of a broken chain

or maybe i just got off my sleep schedule and insomnia/staying awake wayy too long swerves my brain into mania-lite zone send help someone force me to sleep. why am i crying about the ability to see colors.

Hot 4am take but I feel like if we want to get people more interested in making their yards a more habitable space for wildlife like insects, we have to acknowledge that ‘Don’t want bugs in your house’ is still a 100% fair and valid point of view. ‘Loves nature’ and ‘doesn’t want roaches spiders and mosquitoes in the house’ aren’t opposites.

And with that in mind, when we propose to people that spraying pesticides around houses is Not A Good Idea, Actually, I feel like we need to give an alternative asides from ‘deal with it.’

Hear me out the whole sun and moon thing from Arthur’s pov except he does see Merlin as the moon and himself as the sun.

You can’t get to close to the sun without burning and even though the saying goes “they look at you like you’re the sun.” You can’t actually look at the sun without it bringing you pain, squinting your eyes and looking away. You can wish for the sun when it’s cold but to much of it and you get aggravated and wish it would go away.

But when the moon is out you could stare at it for hours without an ounce of pain. The moon is refreshing after a tiring day out in the sun. The moon doesn’t bring pain it, doesn’t hurt to be around. When a moon is full and bright it’s beautiful to look at.

Merlin is the moon to Arthur not because he thinks he doesn’t shine but because he doesn’t burn.

I keep getting messages asking me if my header picture is me and I say yes because it is BUT I feel very guilty because I'm wearing a TON of makeup, much more than I usually do and even a bit of eyelid tape to alter my appearance so here are some minimal makeup selfies 👉👈 (I'm wearing mascara in the first and eyeliner/lip gloss in the second.) My haircolor is also fake (I'm naturally brunette) and I sometimes wear colored circle lenses. To the 4 (!!!!!) girlies who messaged me so far that have made comparisons between my appearance and their own with a very unfavorable opinion of their own I promise I do not look like that picture 99.999999% of the time and in real life I am pretty plain and unremarkableand it is very possible that I would wish I looked like you if I saw you. 🙈

making art has become incredibly hard for me

whenever i’m in the middle of drawing for work, i enjoy it, but i find it incredibly difficult to start new pieces and drawing for fun is almost impossible.

i’ve been trying to at least draw SOMETHING every day, even if i hate it and don’t show it to anyone, even if i delete it, even if it’s just a line. it’s so difficult. i’ve been forcing myself to post some of the sketches but it’s hard not to cringe at how rough they are

i thought for a while the solution was just to stop drawing for a while, and i did that, and it didn’t really help. maybe because that segment of time was insanely busy and stressful so i effectively didn’t get any rest. idk.

i know part of it is just due to my over all mental health, as i have been severely burnt out for much of the past year. i’m working on it, but it’s hard, and dealing with my chronic fatigue (which has gotten so much worse since my first bout of covid in 2022) hasn’t helped

idk things are just hard right now. idk why im sharing this but here it is 🤷‍♀️

misc dialogue

"Oh no, someone's attracted to the aesthetics of my -punk movement but doesn't know the praxis and history behind it like I do--"

OK. Tell them. Make it a teaching moment. Everyone who's in your movement learned the background from somewhere at some point, maybe this is that point for that person. Give them a jumping off point that they can dive into later.

"Oh but I shouldn't be responsible for teaching baby -punks about the history and the how-tos and--"

OK. Then don't tell them. You don't have to be responsible for teaching people with a budding interest in your group the ins and outs and how-tos. That's fair and valid! It can be a lot of work. Someone else will handle it

"But I'm annoyed that they would try to claim to be part of/be interested in my community without knowing all the details that I know after being in it for months/years/decades, they're dumb, they're posers, they're--"

OK. Then don't engage with them, if it's that bad. Maybe someone else will come around and tell them the history, maybe they'll pick it up on their own, maybe they'll just enjoy the fashion elements for awhile.

"But they shouldn't claim to be part of the -punk community if they don't know the--"

I feel like we have a few options here. People can either talk to them, share the history, share the values, share the praxis. Or they can just chase off anyone who even thinks about dipping a toe in their community, and then wonder why it's dying off later down the line.

I dunno, maybe I'm too naive and patient or whatever. But if people are entering your -punk spaces without knowing The Rundown of what you feel they need to know, maybe being nice about it and informing people instead of immediately assuming stupidity and malicious intent could help you make a new friend. Even the loudest voices in a space had to learn from somewhere, and not everyone has the luxury of being in the space as the History was Happening--whether it's an age thing or a not being aware of the space thing. Or maybe I just don't see what the big deal is behind people hating people who like the aesthetic of something and don't know the behind the scenes history about it yet.

Because I believe in the word 'yet.' No one comes into this world knowing everything about everything, and we're all constantly learning new things. I'm not gonna degrade someone and call them a poser for not knowing what I know. Because if it were me, interested in a scene but getting chased out and called a poser? I wouldn't hit the books and study up, I'd go 'that fuckin sucks, those people sucked' and then avoid anyone and anything having to do with it.

So chase people off and call them posers if you want. But if your community starts dwindling, don't be fucking shocked.
