Update on my Whumptober thoughts: Not all the prompts will be posted, I have all 31 planned out but I found out that you don't have to post all 31. If a fic is finished, I'll post it but there's some big beasts that I want to write properly instead of rush. Also, I might not even write all 31. I want the completionist title but I don't have the time nor energy to force myself to write all the prompts and I did it last year and it wasn't like life-changing. I like Whumptober because the prompts help my creativity, spark some inspiration (talking about my Delancey Brothers Fic) but the perfectionist in me just beats myself up about not getting enough fics done before October or not writing enough each day to get them finished and then writing fics that all sound the same or the ideas being kind of shitty because I'm forcing them. I want to do my ideas justice rather than mass produce shit I don't like because I feel I need to, it's a constant line I walk between "I want to write something well and that I'm proud of so might be inactive for a while on AO3" and "I want to get this idea out there so need to post a bunch of stuff now"

Watching Freedom Writers still hit as bloody hard as it did when I was 16 and lonely as hell. I may have watched it a dozen times, but I still cry just as hard as I did back then. When they meet the Holocaust survivors and read Anne Frank's diary, when they read their own journals, when they become friends and start helping each other, when Miss G keeps fighting day in and day out to get her kids listened to and respected, when Eva goes through her breakdown... I cry so much. This movie, this story, these real people, they are powerful and important, a lesson that must be remembered always: the power of culture, the power of education, the power of solidarity, communication, exchange and compassion.

Traintober Day 8: Bird

“Two birds on a wire One tries to fly away And the other watches him close from that wire He says he wants to as well But he is a liar

I'll believe it all There's nothing I won't understand

I'll believe (I'll believe) it all I won't let go of your hand”

Two birds on a wire totally fits Stanley x Kyle/OrangeChai angst: Out of both, only one survives, broken and with clipped wings….

I…I like to believe that Kyle still attempts to communicate with Stanley, not just with the fireflies but perhaps other ways? I’ve been rereading stories of people’s loved ones coming back to them in the form of animals and I know for sure Kyle would come back to him to keep him company, slowly help him heal and give a sense of security..

After all, the dove has many symbols as someone in mourning is often viewed as a visitation from the deceased loved one. The person in mourning senses a message of hope or encouragement from their deceased loved one.…

"you know you're getting a bit old for meeting people if you want kids"

WHO'S FAULT IS THAT?!

Who chose to raise us in the middle of the the fucking woods?!

Who actively deliberately isolated us from our ethnic community because you were embarrassed by how we were failures and your internalized self racism makes you think all brown men as skeevy and you specifically wanted to keep us away from them and put effort into achieving that and cutting us off from all community connection?

Who let me switch to correspondence school and study alone at home because I said I was bored, instead of giving a single solitary fuck about me and noticing I was obviously depressed?

Who raised us abstinence only to the point that any mixing with the 'opposite' sex was unacceptable?

Who actively shut down any attempt I made to develop or act on hobbies or personal interests, because the only think I should be doing is studying?

Do you think that somehow the negative effects of keeping kids at home only allowed to do schoolwork and chores and unable to drive unable to leave the house unable to get a job unable to engage in hobbies unable to engage in community unable to leave the house... somehow the negative effects only apply if you're deliberately doing it for patriarchal cult reasons?

Bitch managed to raise us fully traditional entirely by accident

With a good dash of learned helplessness with constant messaging that were incapable of managing to do anything or survive by ourselves

I've only been out the house for 3 years! And 2 of that was the last year of the degree and the first year of the job being a new grad Covid nurse in peak Covid!

I've only been able to breathe for one year!

I've had one year of freedom and I've been using it to learn how to be human for the first time!

And you've spent that year telling me to break up with everyone I happen to meet!

Don't fucking tell me I'm too old now

You were supposed to help me!

You knew I wanted kids! Why didn't you help me earlier!

You did everything you could to keep me isolated because you were projecting your own trust issues onto me and never stopped to think what effect that might have when you're raising someone!

Why does generational trauma have to be so mundane

i'm making a smocked skirt inspired by minhote/vianese folk skirts and i just realized i can't use red, yellow and green together for the smock cross-stitch bc it looks too much like the portuguese flag and i don't want to get the wrong vibe and bring salazar back from the dead or smth

Rabbi Leo Dee responded with dignity and wisdom after a Palestinian terrorist murdered his wife and two daughters. He asked for April 10 to be remembered as Dees Day, encouraging people to make the world a better place. He spoke powerfully against the moral equivalence people make between terrorist aggressors and their victims. He discussed how he and his wife, Lucy, “value life over anything else”. That’s the difference between Rabbi Dee and the terrorist savage that devastated his family. Stand with Rabbi Leo Dee against the evils of terrorism and Jew-hatred. Don’t defend the terrorist or his supporters.
