#manitoba#ukrainian history#tolstoï#tolstoi#catholic church#church#ukrainian culture#evidence of life#my grunkle’s family church before he left for the great wife nowhere he never liked talkies about his life before meeting tía abuela#the photos before their meeting were left in a box somewhere whenever asked to talk about but then he refused not wanting to talk about it#it makes me so emotional but im so happy he got out and grew our family#ok im feeling emo im going to post about the funerals again :/#must’ve been half asleep or shaking typing that good lord#ok so basically this was my grunkle’s (great uncle’s) family church located in the bush behind the bush of manitoba where a lot of ukrainian#ok so basically this was my grunkle's (grand uncle's) family church located in the bush behind the bush of manitoba where a lot of ukrainian#people settled this was one of the photos in his box that held photos of his life before leaving the farm and meeting my tía abuela and#and thus growing our family. when asked about the photos or the time in his life when they were taken he’d refused to talk about them#wishing to talk about anything but that time in his life information on such is basically unknown as his memory towards the end didn’t#include these memories nor did ever get around to sharing them he often said he wasn’t ready it was obviously the worst parts of his life#i’m so happy that he was able to leave that space and create our family im happy we got to live him and still love him that he made better#memories in our arms

I love learning ASL it’s so good. Makes me happy to learn it. I’m so glad my university has classes for it with professors actually steeped in Deaf culture.
#blue chatter#am I good at ASL? hahahahahahaha. no.#ASL and English grammar are incredibly different and even when I remember my vocab I am easily clockable as hearing#but I do have some language capacity now. enough to communicate the basics.#and I just. genuinely really enjoy it. it’s fun to learn and engaging in a way most of my classes just aren’t.#and I can. yanno. communicate respectfully w Deaf ppl. and learn about their culture#which is incredibly important given that I want to go into a field where there is a higher incidence than typical of Deaf people#autistic? you’re more likely to be Deaf!#not to mention the fact that sign language can sometimes be a useful alternative to speech for nonspeaking/nonverbal people#depending on the person obvi; some nonspeaking/nonverbal autistics cannot use sign language and that’s okay#but surely at some point I will encounter either a Deaf client or a nonspeaking/nonverbal client who uses ASL#and when that time comes I should have some idea of how to communicate with them#I also rly like the Deaf church by my parents’ house#their community is really welcoming and their services are really interesting#I think it’s rly cool how they take intentions directly from the congregation#they’ll raise their hands and then sign what their intention is from their pew to the ambo#which is rly neat#it is funny bc every time I go the Deaf ppl I talk to will tell each other ‘go slow she’s hearing’#which is ENTIRELY fair bc. I am hearing. and I do need them to go slower.#but it also makes me laugh bc truly everyone knows within a few minutes.#oh hey the new person? they’re hearing. yeah they’re learning ASL at college. sign slowly for her.#which again makes sense bc a big Deaf culture thing is keeping ppl informed. it’s not gossip it’s getting everyone on the same page.#Deaf ppl do NOT beat around the bush that is like the height of rudeness to them. u say what u mean goshdangit. do not waste their time.#which I appreciate the heck out of bc i don’t have to try and phrase things delicately or w/e#it was also funny bc my mom came w me while I was home for Christmas and they asked her if I was her kid#and she said yes. and the lady running the kid’s craft corner thing was like ‘great you’re doing a craft now’#and I’m sitting there. visibly over 18 years old. amongst several seven year olds. trying desperately to figure out how to say hot glue gun#I made a v pretty pinecone tree it was a lot of fun ^-^

this post has nothing to do with supernatural but it is my personal belief that Anthony Fantano (aka the needledrop) should be gagged, brought out into the middle of a street and STONED
that man genuinely enrages me like nothing else. his reviews are horrific, he has no credibility as a music critic or any media literacy. he's just a misogynist that refuses to, for even a moment, entertain the notion that a woman can produce a meaningful, deep piece of work if it's not satirical, ironical, sexy, "bee-boo-bop" , unserious, devoid of vulnerability bullcrap
#he pisses me off so bad#if there is a god please make sure that fantano in the afterlife is forced to be a woman who's desperately trying to explain#and showcase how the misogyny she's going through is affecting her health and image and etc#only for the men around him to just tell him “you're being dramatic its giving main character syndrome”#please lord i'll even start going to church regularly again if you do this for me#not supernatural related at all#but MY god#if there comes a day i agree with this man just shoot me because that IS NOT me#the needle drop#anthony fantano#the great impersonator#halsey

I got an email from my grandpa today and all the draft responses I’ve been working on in my head sound like an 18th century letter that’s going to have to travel for months to reach him.
pandemic year 5 really has me feeling like me and a very small handful of people I know are living on an entirely different plane of existence than everyone else
#like I haven’t seen him in over a year. I’ve seen him 3 times since 2020#so I guess on the isolation and slow communication front it’s pretty similar#he used my chosen name. I haven’t changed my email yet but he used my chosen name#I don’t even care at this point if he never gets my pronouns right#I thought I’d never be able to tell him. I didn’t want to find out his politics were more important#he’s quiet and kind and he gives people expensive gifts any time he can afford it but he constantly forgets people’s allergies#so he might get you something you can’t have but whoever you pass it along to will love it#he cries at weddings and during church services and sometimes random holidays#he passes out in his rocking chair at every family function#he’s the unofficial photographer of every gathering ever since my great grandfather stopped being able to walk as much as the job requires#and he voted for trump in 2016 and has afaik an active nra membership#he once complimented my outfit by telling me he’d call me a stud if I was a guy#which like. ok. I have some notes#but uh. thanks?#idk I’m just. it sucks being so far away from everyone and everything because the rest of the world is ignoring an ongoing pandemic#I’m missing so much of my life and others lives and even parts of my own transition#I can make steps to reach out but it only goes so far if poeple#are unwilling to mask or vaccinate or even just ask what needs to happen to make it safe#so I don’t. idk. kill my partner#or become even more disabled than I currently am#my family’s been making steps and they’re taking me seriously but it’s all so slow and I’m still sore from bracing for rejection#I’ve been bracing for rejection for so so long it’s terrifying to reach out. about anything#this is not condusive to a healthy relationship lol#not sure what to do other than bonk myself on the head and say ‘get better’ tho#*bonk* ‘try again’#one step at a time ig#ahshitherewegoagain.jpg#.txt

i really enjoyed the ending of rvb restoration, which is to say that it made me cry like a big baby.
#SPOILERS SPOILERS IN THE TAGS#SPOILERS#kathleen coming back to voice tex makes me so happy#it made the last scene with her and church just turn me into dust.#then immediately follow that with wash seeing the other freelancers again#and then playing the saddest trocadero song they ever made#burnie burns is a rat bitch who made me cry at 10 am on a tuesday and he should feel bad for manipulating me emotionally#anyways it was great#rvb#rvb spoilers

That was a stressful hour hhhhhhh ok
#went to a grad party for a girl in a family my family knows pretty well#saw a guy I haven’t seen in three years unexpectedly#freaked out a little because he’s as nice as I remember but I only talked to him for like a minute#couldn’t bring myself to try and talk to him again#remembered that being in the youth room of my old church and seeing the youth pastor makes my stomach hurt#aaaaand basically sat in the corner and played uno with my sisters and another girl#I’m great at parties!!!#rambles from the floor#delete later

Mia Winters 🤝 Ashley Graham
Being too amazing for people to comprehend.
:)
maybe some people...but the real ones get it.
genuinely it's so wild to me as someone who got into resident evil without ever really being exposed to the fandom beforehand and watched playthroughs/learned stuff while very isolated from it and am Just Now getting into the fandom and fan-content to see how like. widely hated they are? because, what, they don't like ashley's game mechanic and a bunch of people can't seem to comprehend the way the ethan is molded and mia knew reveal is supposed to totally recontextualize what we see of her behavior in village? um....okay lol.
and here is where i started typing out an entire rant about why it makes zero sense to me that people hate on mia so much despite the fact that she is pointedly not written as the villain of the games and ethan clearly loves her a lot and she clearly loves him a lot, but then backspaced it all because actually if i go down that road i will never stop. one day i'll do an art stream again where i just sit and rant for 2 hours about it. just know: i think about this so much and it makes absolutely Zero sense to me why people hate mia when she's such an easy to understand and CLEARLY sympathetically written character. RRRRR.
and then ppl who hate ashley bc she's "whiny" and "helpless" ok well what would YOU be doing if you had been kidnapped, infected with a parasite in an incredibly violating way, were essentially a ticking time bomb, and had no training in weapons or defense to deal with this shit MUCH LESS while in a totally different country. um. i think you would be begging for help too. and half the battle is just her game mechanic it's not like it's her fault jfc.
#answered asks#precambrian-sea-pancake#ONCE AGAIN i say hm isnt it funny how people seem to love ada but hate mia when they share MANY similar characteristics#(questionable backgrounds of working for mercenary groups; have hurt people; betrayed the trust of those close to them; committed#(lite) atrocities etc etc)#and yet mia is the one who has shown consistent regret for her actions and worked to change and she isnt perfect FUCKING DUHHHH no one is.#esp no one in resident evil YOU KNOW IM RIGHT ABOUT THIS!#but adas just fine going on exactly the way she is but mia has shown remorse and worked to change and leave that life behind#so really who is a 'better' character here#<- trick question i love them both ada is fun being morally bankrupt and mia is fun being a character who grows#you thought i was pitting women against each other didnt you! you thought i would make two bad bitches fight!#okay sorry i got away from myseslf here ive been watching too many snap cube streams#my point being. mia and ashley are literally fine. i cant speak to ashleys character writing esp with the remake not out yet#but mia despite the disaster that was villages writing at times. is a GREAT and SYMPATHETIC character who is clearly not the villain#u guys just hate women idk#sorry tumblr user precambrian-sea-pancake i have just gone on such a tangent which is just directed at the empty pews of a church#i will get off my soapbox now

so glad i was raised catholic. i don't know what i would do with myself if i was raised protestant. try and appropriate catholic iconography and feel really bad about it probably.
#i think ab that post making fun of american christians for talking ab stained glass etc. when they went to church in an office blng 24/7#like. damn. can you imagine getting fucked up over a religion you learned while sitting in a folding chair#protestants i will make fun of you but you are/were so brave for getting through that 😭#well. actually. did y'all still have to kneel. cause Fuck having to kneel in a pew#those mfers ask you to kneel and leave you there for Months until they let you back up again#the real sacrifice in christ's name was my fucking knees#thank god my church's kneelers were fairly well padded.#for the record though i went to a church with stained glass nd a baptismal font nd everything it was really pretty actually#and a water feature running across the whole church's grounds alongside the stations of the cross...#not to doxx myself. but st. gregory the great was a good church (aesthetically) for being in socal dkjghf#valentine notes#catholic tag

unfortunately the “cemeteries should be green spaces used for recreation like in ye olde days” crowd loses any credibility it has when they walk all over graves, risk damaging old headstones & grave monuments by misusing them in a Number of ways, & rub their bare asses all over said graves for “““artistic”““ purposes
#also they are sometimes wrong about people using cems as green spaces back in the day#there was a reason they were often built on the outskirts of town. to keep them away from residences & businesses & town spaces#i.e where it would make sense to have green spaces#& also graveyards attached to churches may have been used recreationally#but they still respected graves as graves#wtf is wrong w these people#also 'don't sing in cemeteries' girl. you are primarly visiting & talking about christian cemeteries#wtf do you think people do at funerals#better get father mulligan to stop lettin people sing dirges#when they attend the funeral of their catholic great grand aunt#bc all the rest of the dead catholics in this cemetery will be disturbed#etc#also i have said it before & will say it again:#feel free to get naked on / fuck on / desecrate my grave#but if you do you better be praying for my soul before or during or after#(just in case purgatory is real)#it's the least you can do#*

#the most annoying part is that I can’t even admit myself even tho I’m SO close to ending it all#i know it’ll make everyone around me even madder#i would love to go away for a month and then come back to a family who was emotionally sensitive to me#but the world would fucking end if I did ONE thing for mysekf without notifying my family so they can talk me out of it#I’m tired and I want someone to hold me and sing to me#…..it’s almost Mother’s Day and I miss the way she would hug and sing to me#she’s probably having a great time with her her church and life and friends#while I’m suffering with the same wounds she gave me years ago#i need to babied again I cannot actually deal with adulthood I can’t do it#i don’t wanna think about death and hell anymore#I’m just so scared and alone and I never get hugged and my body really hurts#my body hurts not just from chronic pain but from how badly I need to be hugged I feel sick#i wanna go home….#but I dunno where that is:(#I’m so sad and so tired and so scared :((((((#i do nt wanna be alive any myree I cagbt do it

#we had a new lady come to the queer community support group and she brought her fucking PASTOR#HER CHRISTIAN PASTOR FROM CHURCH#the hour ended and I felt like I'd just attended a fucking Sunday school session#if she comes back next week I'm straight up never going again#I don't want to fucking hear about how 'we as the church need to do a better job of loving the gay community'#you as the church need to do a better job of understanding that talking about how God's truth is what guides your life..#is going to make a great many queer folks incredibly uncomfortable#she asked if she could hug me at the end and I said no in what I hope was the most stony and seething tone possible.#I deadass thought she was gonna try and close in prayer and I was absolutely going to get up and leave the room#miss. me. with. that. absolute. dogshit.#tag talk
