Humanism as a Cultural Seed: Rethinking African American Identity
In the rich tapestry of African American culture, Christianity has long served as the cultural seed, shaping identity, beliefs, and values. However, as we navigate the complexities of modern society, there arises a crucial need to examine and redefine the foundational elements that have shaped our collective consciousness. I believe humanism as a cultural seed can be a tool for empowerment and…

Different but kinda the same
#i was thinking about this cause ive been to enough weddings and like--theres always a sense of loss that they lose the best friend moh/doh#not in the sense that they're not friends anymore but the paradigm between them has changed. its no longer them but a new us#not that its not a joyous occasion but theres grief that comes with the joy#and i find that fascinating#in life we always lose something when we gain something its kinda weird#scott pilgrim#spto#scott pilgrim takes off#scott pilgrim vs the world#spvtw#this is platonic btw i don't ship em at all#tangles comics#wallace wells

ok wait i'm curious to know what yalls go-to party is in ffxiii, because lightning-sazh-vanille always feels like such a no-brainer to me anytime i play and now i need to know if people think the same or not 👀
#sometimes lightning-sazh-hope or even snow-sazh-hope if im struggling real bad#either way i always bring sazh bc i hate playing without haste lmao#but for the most part i do lightning-sazh-vanille just bc starting combat with them in the bully paradigm rocks#followed by relentless assault or aggression or tri-disaster depending on the enemies 😤 thats my go-to strategy#i wish the game encouraged you to swap party members more often though#wouldnt it have been so cool if you could assign characters to each paradigm so you could change party structure mid-combat....#i wouldve loved that actually ouughh each character having their own set of abilities would be even more interesting that way#square enix pls hire me for a remake i have ideas#final fantasy xiii

Change your brain to stop reaching for ableist language to describe your world
D*mb, st*pid, cr*zy, ins*ne, and many many more ableist words and phrases still dot our daily conversation landscape. This Disability Pride Month, show you’re listening by doing the work to use language that doesn’t perpetuate ableist culture.
This is a non-exhaustive curated list of terms and suggestions for replacing them in your vocabulary, as well as accompanying notes.

Do you have any thoughts about Alyosha's momentary crisis of faith? Because I understood why he had one, but not so much why he was immediately ready to drink and go see Grushenka. Interested to see if you've any opinions on the matter, either regarding Grushenka or just in general.
OOOOOO this is an interesting question and my answer is going to get kinda long, warning you now LOL
i think alcohol & drinking in general is often a big part of "the karamazovian nature"—fyodor pavlovich and mitya are open alcoholics & hedonists, and ivan's heavily implied to be an alcoholic as well by his delirium tremens at the end—and more generally as one of the wordly temptations that human nature as a whole is susceptible to (tangent, but this is also really interesting when you keep in mind ivan's cup analogy!! drinking & cups are tied to living & life so often; mitya chooses to "fill" his cup/life with alcohol, ivan drinks in secret until he throws the cup/life to the ground at 30 in rebellion, and alyosha instead chooses to fill his cup/life with god. one of the schiller verses mitya quotes in the ardent confession chapter even says "To the soul of God’s creation / Joy eternal brings her draught, / In strong secret fermentation / Flames the cup of life aloft")
and the common denominator is that they don't believe enough to overcome the natural urge to indulge. mitya does believe, but he can't stop himself and reproaches himself for it; ivan doesn't believe despite wanting to and that contributes too imo. but alyosha doesn't drink and is an ascetic for the most part bc everything for him is based off of his unwavering faith—and so when his entire worldview and moral system is shaken by both ivan and father zosima, he questions EVERYTHING and begins feeling detached from reality when it doesn't match up. without his bulletproof faith intact, he no longer has the external ruleset to dictate his behavior, and the karamazovian desire to ease pain with alcohol wins for a moment without being able to trust his prior moral compass
(on rereading for this post, i don't have a formulated thought on it but it's interesting that he agrees to rakitin's initial offer of vodka even though they end up having champagne instead—there's probably some connection there between vodka and worldly/russian baseness vs champagne, which while not communion wine is still wine LMAO)
this quote from the onion chapter is what stands out the most to me, bold mine:
"Alyosha cried out with a wail in his voice. ‘I speak to you not as a judge, but as the least of the judged. What am I before her? I came here in order to be destroyed, saying: “Go on, go on!” – and that was because of my cowardice, while she, after five years of suffering, no sooner did someone come and say a sincere word to her, forgave everything, forgot everything and cried! The assailant of her honour has returned, is summoning her, and yet she forgives him everything and hurries to him in joy and she will not take the knife, she will not take it! Oh, I am not like that! I do not know whether you are like that, Misha, but I am not like that! Today, the moment I received this lesson, I … She loves in a way that is loftier than yours or mine … Have you heard her say this earlier, what she said just now? No, you have not; if you had, you would have understood everything long ago … And let the other woman, whom she offended the other day, let her, too, forgive her! And she will forgive her, if she learns of this … and she shall learn of it … This soul has not yet been reconciled, we must spare it … This soul may contain a treasure …" (tr. mcduff)
when he loses his infallible external/divine guidance, he has to turn inward/to the world around him instead, where he finds guilt and the human urge to self-destroy (as well as the influence of rakitin & his schadenfreude) and as a karamazov, it naturally comes first in the form of alcohol (women, too, but alyosha never really shows any desire on that front) when he sees grushenka's kindness and forgiveness, he snaps out of it and his faith is reinforced (while he believes he's a sinner and unworthy, he sees in her christlike forgiveness and is reminded that although he has these karamazovian urges, giving in to them entirely isn't the answer etc etc im not a theologian and have been writing too long anyway)
this has been such a long ramble with so little structure but this is SUCH an interesting plot point, thank you for asking my thoughts on it!! :D
#lmk what yall think!!! i only skimmed so its not impossible for me to be misremembering or misinterpreting something LOL#his Temptation is so so interesting#i think its bc seeing his doubt result in even stronger faith is so opposite to my personal experience that it FASCINATES me in literature#anonasks#the brothers karamazov#also i originally wrote “the karamazovian need to get white girl wasted” but decided to be serious for once instead#Also the fucking whiplash from the last ask to this one icb.#to me its like. he loses the spiritual morality so all he has left is to turn to the worldly morality and everyone around him drinks and#is a bad influence lol#and changing your faith is a HUGE paradigm shift too bc its a TON of beliefs rolled into one#for the devout like alyosha its the basis of EVERYTHING. your epistemology morality your perception of reality and people etc#so once the first domino falls you get a novice drinking champagne LMAO#i hope this was clear!! i keep ruminating and adding thoughts but i feel like my attempts to articulate them just make it more confusing LO#anonpost

me when i default to a dramatically different handwriting for every separate subject i have but have my notes for all of them unseparated and encroaching into each other in the same notebook
#idek what my “”“real”“” handwriting is i swear im not the inconsistent mess i am intentionally#it's very random maybe it depends on the pen or the kind of material or smth?#anyway. wild#i think the closest to my “real” or most natural handwriting would be the top of the third last pic under the circuit diagram#if you go by median frequency#but i can never stick to one unless i consciously try#and there are so many more too it makes my stuff feel even more unorganized#i always used to be insecure about my sign because i still don't know how i can make it look the same every time#like i actually physically cannot#what happens when you're yelled at for your bad handwriting your whole childhood and change it based on whoever the new paradigm of good is#every year and they all kinda stick and mesh together#who tf knows man#liveblogging.pdf#im so jealous of people with a consistent signature writing#like i see it and know it's them#college hateposting

Mother Nature is no longer banging on our door with climate change. She has broken down the door and is letting climate change piss on the rug, claw the curtains, and chew our leg.

I am still wondering.#Is my psyche compensating for something?#I swear that monkey busted into my mind and did some serious damage 🙈#I tried to resist but monkeys don’t take no for an answer

They come in a care package, if Stasis is coming, then so will Protoflicker :)
Anyways, congratulations to this airship captain to be in… probably the 6th or 7th rhythm game Lanota collabed with now-
#ally's ocs#gijinka#original character#OC: Stasis#OC: Protoflicker#At this rate change his name to just PROTO cause there’s no flicks in Paradigm: Reboot#This feels the same as seeing them in Arcaea…

So many places yet to see, so many people yet to meet! So many wines left to taste, so many lessons yet to learn. It would be illogical to approach every moment with anything less than excitement, hope, curiosity, wonder, etc.

I'm so glad to be done with those dang Overture stories lol If I have to translate dense paragraphs of Backyard mechanics ever again I'm going to explode
Anyway.
Lightning the Argent.
I also want to make a JP manuscript of the Dengeki PS mag Missing Link article soon and get the Missing Link manga scans cleaned, but I'm starting LtA as soon as I can. For LtA, unlike with Begin, I'm going to work on it in smaller chunks by translating a chapter and then finely editing it before moving on. Begin I did an entire rough translation for then had to comb through it like a million times. Agonizing. I don't know why I did it like that.
But I think I'm going to wait until the whole thing is finished before I post chapters because editing chapters after posting them on here is an absolute nightmare, for one, and also my brain gets silly when I get feedback on projects that aren't done yet and then I lose motivation. Hopefully working on it this new way will mean it will either take less time than Begin did (6 months) or at least those 6 months will be much easier.
Guess we'll find out soon enough.
#textpost#Tbh I think the Overture stories would have gone faster if Paradigm and Valentine's stories weren't absolute slogs to work on#Just these giant essentially meaningless blocks of nonsense that were extremely difficult to get into English#Either Raven or Ky's stories were the most fun to work on tbh#Around Ky's story I started experimenting a bit with translating by 'vibe' instead of directly like I had before#Which meant a little more thinking went into each translated line#But the end result has such a more natural flow than how I was doing it before (at least I think so anyway)#You can't get Japanese entirely directly into English. They're too different. It is literally impossible#Like you can try but it's gonna be stiff af and still not quite exact#So like if it's gonna be different from the source text no matter what I do I might as well make it a more enjoyable read#No one's commented on this change in technique but maybe it's one of those things that's not really noticeable from the outside haha
