#but it leaves it there

I think my favorite moment this week (ep 3) in I Hear the Sunspot was Kohei speaking up for himself and telling Taichi he needed to repeat himself. I recently reread the manga, and there's a scene here or there where Taichi says something vulnerable, Kohei doesn't hear him, and Taichi just says never mind because he's embarrassed and they move on. I love that this adaptation decided to make this change/addition.

The vulnerable confession that isn't heard is absolutely a staple romance trope, but it doesn't work the same in a Deaf/HOH context. Because it's one of so many times living in a hearing world that Kohei will be told "never mind" aka it's not worth the effort or discomfort of including you.

I just really like that the show took the extra few moments to make this change and tackle the trope head on.

Ideal work schedule:

I show up and am given a list of cognitively engaging but achievable tasks

I complete the list

got told at lunch "you feel like Tumblr Incarnate" and i had to tell them i've been here for 13 years and counting. i was here three years before dashcon happened. i saw the mishapocalypse. i survived the gigapause. i've been here longer than the shoelaces post. i've been here since it was hipsters versus fandom and i played both sides extensively by overdoing the sepia filters on everything and making my own flashing galaxy gif edits for my fandom posts. i'm every tumblr. it's all in me

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

Friendly reminder to check your child's Halloween candy this year, I just found an endless labyrinth of physically-impossible tunnels reflecting the descent into madness of multiple unreliable narrators, each with their own obsessive goal that they pursue to the point of harming themselves inside of a snickers bar
