A Broken Rainbow...

My granddaughter dropped her kaleidoscope from the top window Tiny, coloured pieces scattered across the patio I heard her footsteps running down the stairs Holding my breath, hoping she wouldn’t fall Three-year-olds often know no fear The tiny jewels shone under bright sunlight Lost treasure belonging to the shining ones Running into the kitchen, where I stood watching the coloured…

If you ain't feeling your username you literally can just like, change it whenever, people don't really care much and they will adapt very quickly. You aren't some major brand that requires many steps to change anything, or that needs the name recognition. Just have some fun on the internet LOL.

Oh! I can add to this one! I was taught that dinosaurs still exist on the planet, in the form of reptiles and amphibians. They don't grow as big anymore because the "greenhouse effect" before the flood (when all the water that would flood the earth was a top layer of our atmosphere) allowed humans and creatures alike to live for much longer. (See: story of Methuselah, etc) However, after the flood (removing that fancy (liquid???) top layer of atmosphere) all we creatures big and small can no longer live so long, this the "dinosaurs" of today (reptiles, amphibians) no longer live long enough to grow that big anymore. And the fact that reptiles keep growing until they die was provided as evidence that this was the obvious outcome.

A side note, I don't remember the exact reasoning given but the flood, and subsequent "loss of water layer in atmosphere", apparently somehow is causing the breakdown of our ozone layer?

I just realized that homeschooled evangelical christian kids aren't allowed to have a dinosaur phase and made myself sad

Anyone who knows me knows that I have ALWAYS been a very politically vocal person. I also used to spend a majority of my time on Instagram. But when 2020 hit I became such an unrecognizable person that I had to delete Instagram and cut myself off from everyone just to regain my center and sense of self.

I didn't know it at the time but I think with my autistic sense of justice coupled with my paranoia (like diagnosable, serious paranoia) and how stressful my living situation was at the time, it was the perfect blend for a ticking time bomb. I became so uncontrollably consumed with politics that I would attack anyone and everyone. I was experiencing full mania, posting nonstop on Instagram, arguing with people I followed, cutting off family members, not sleeping, overworking myself protesting, and when I wasnt protesting, I wouldnt leave my bed, all while dealing with the stress of the pandemic, a subpar diet in my neglectful choldhood home, and a lack of space to call my own. Even if I seemed collected on the outside, my insides felt like boiling water. I never got a moment of calm. It was autistic overstimulation amplified. I also felt such a sense of hopeless and really rathered Id be dead than continue trying. All these emotions but I just couldn't stop. I wasn't in control.

After some time, I found my normal again, but it made me so scared to speak out about anything because I didn't want to spiral again. I ignored the news, I muted people who talked about politics, I avoided all things political and any semblance of a political conversation at all costs. I'd never been so quiet before. This was around the time Ukraine and Isreal started becoming the hot topic. You can see it here. All my political posts just stop sometime around 2021. And even though I chose to stop "spreading awareness" about things, I started to feel this immense guilt that I was seemingly not doing my part. Or that my IG account now looked like BLM was a fad I participated in, and I couldn't care less about those pesky Palestinians /sarcasm. All the while, I was dying inside NOT talking about it.

I used that time to read up on the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict, I was reaching out to my high school friends who were now growing families in Palestine, I was trying to think of way to engage in the movement that didn't involve reposting the same 5 Instagram posts that everyone was already sharing, and that didn't involve financial investment as that was SO not a possibility for me. I boycotted what I could, but I was living in Sweden by that time, so it was a boycot by circumstance.

Now, with this whole Banning TikTok debacle, I am just so mad that no one can see that it's a political attack. Ever since 2020, the government has been mad at us for using it as a means of education and organization. That's when the whole subject of banning it arose. We -as in American people - are being punished for utilizing our First Amendment right. That of protesting and organizing (not the stupid misinterpretation of "I can say whatever I want" used by right wingers). It seems like everyone has forgotten that and are just whining about their brainrot being taken away or getting on Twitter to rave about what social media is doing to us. People outside of the US are laughing as if this isn't a modern-day example of mass censorship happening right in front of our eyes. And suddenly, I can feel the boiling water moving up from my toes. Suddenly, I want to slap everyone across the face and get them to wake up. Open your eyes, people! I'm tired of sitting back with this, "we'll there's nothing we can really do that we haven't been doing already" attitude. I want to burn down the white house. I want people to stop treating Luigi Magione like some Robin Hood sex image. I don't want to just settle for this loss of autonomy and progress. I don't want to feel like a minority within a minority within a minority within a minority. What else is there to do when everyone has settled for just dealing?
