Cranberrys thoughts: Log 1

This is Cranberry of the Spring sub-system or the Grove System.

I have concluded I am a mishmash of various traits and aspects from different Ranma headmates from across a few fanfics. My pronouns are they/them but she/her is also acceptable or if I associate any pronouns with a disguise those will obviously be preferred. I tend to speak with a flat affect unless I am putting on one of said disguises. In headspace I can freely change how I look on the fly or at least how I appear, and I'm general mess with the physics and design of it as I please. It brings me much amusement, I am quite mischievous despite what my base expression may suggest otherwise. I like to play games and pranks on my headmates. I'm general I think I prefer being away from front, the body aches, and I can't manipulate things like I can in headspace. But I suppose I will do my part.

I suspect that I might be asexual or somewhere on the ace spectrum. I think I do have "kinks" but direct sex does not really seem to factor into the equation for those. These are mostly clothing or roleplay focused ones all sorts of "forced gender or fashion kinks" and things of that nature. It would be like half playing with me like a doll and half a challenge for me to successfully perform said role. Yes quite amusing. I suppose sex could be a part of it, if my partner wanted it. It could be fun. But everything else leading up to it is what I am personally more interested in.

I have several roles from my sources that I can pull out for everyday fun. but I also hope to develop more while I am here. I have one I developed this evening but I don't have a name for her yet. A slightly overbearing softly mother figure that just likes taken care of her loves ones and spoiling them with affection.

One of our dear friends pondered on the fact that if I followed certain logic, that we might be a sub-subsystem... And well I do not know if that is the case, it could certainly be a possibility. If that does end up being the case, I think it could be amusing to call us the bog subsystem, but I think more likely it will be the Palette subsystem like a painters palette.

Ki Tisa

you don't have to be realistic to make portraits that people recognize. stick a stovepipe hat and a bushy beard on a teddy bear, and people will get that you mean it to be Abraham Lincoln. the right hat and pipe alone can suggest Sherlock Holmes. learning to identify these kinds of symbols can be very helpful in coming to grips with artistic traditions that make heavy use of them

if you spend a lot of time with Medieval Christian art, for example, you'll pretty quickly start to run across a figure of a guy with horns on his head. you might think that this is supposed to be Satan, but in many cases, you'd be wrong: that guy is supposed to be Mosheh

in this week's Torah portion, you see, Mosheh is said to have a face that is קָרַן/qaran after spending so much time conversing with G-d. contemporary translations will say that that means Mosheh's face "glowed", but it's a very rare word, and it looks a lot like the word קֶֽרֶן/qéren, which means "horn", and so the most influential Medieval Latin translation said that Mosheh's face had "horns" instead. (the idea underlying the Hebrew seems to be that rays of light emerge from glowing things in much the same way that horns emerge from the head of a ram or an ox)

seeing this prophet with horns tacked on can be a little unsettling, and the Biblical Israelites were certainly unsettled by Mosheh's glowing face, so much so that they were afraid to even come near Mosheh at first, and Mosheh starts wearing a veil around the camp

the Israelites' fear here has many echoes down thru the ages. in 1867, in the wake of the US Civil War and the California Gold Rush, the city of San Francisco was full of poor people and disabled veterans that the rich of the city found unappealing to look at. like the Biblical Israelites, they accepted their gut emotional reaction to those around them as fact, and came to the conclusion that their neighbors were at fault for causing these untidy emotions

rather than helping their neighbors access housing, medical care, and the necessities of dignified living, the rich of San Francisco passed the first of the so-called "ugly laws", bills that essentially made it a crime to be disabled in public, with predictable disparities in treatment along class and racial lines, de facto if not de jure. in the years that followed, similar laws were passed all around the country by cities that would rather arrest people than see to their needs. the last known arrest under one of these laws would ultimately occur in Oklahoma in 1974. today, many of them are still on the books, even if they are no longer enforced

and enforced or not, the spirit that animated these laws is still very much alive. in the US, we still very much live in a society that judges people based on how they look, a society where the powerful would rather remove some people from view than build community with them, a society where some people are given the very clear message that their presence is emphatically unwanted. those on the receiving end of this message often internalize it and start to pull away — "i won't speak up in that meeting because i don't want to take up space.", "maybe i shouldn't go to that gathering; i don't want to make people uncomfortable.", "i feel like even just quietly existing i am already taking up too much space"

even G-d isn't immune from these feelings. after the business with the golden calf, G-d says, "i'm not going to go with you, in the middle of your camp. maybe i'll be in a little tent off to the side here, but i can't be at the heart of your community anymore.". this might sound like a punishment, but G-d doesn't frame it that way in Shəmot. instead, G-d says "פֶּן אֲכֶלְךָ בַּדָּֽרֶךְ/pen akhelkha badárekh/lest i end you on the way". G-d is afraid of hurting the Israelites, and so tries to withdraw. it's a protective measure, not a punishment

it's also not a solution. haSheim cannot be the Israelites' G-d without actually being there, right there, in the thick of them. the Israelites cannot learn from Mosheh how they are to live without going up and being near him, glowing face and all. we cannot build a society together if we all pull away from one another, afraid of causing messy feelings or harm, or having messy feelings of our own in reaction to each other. we have to reach out. we have to connect

this doesn't mean we will never hurt each other. we will. the relationship between G-d, Mosheh, and the Israelites, too, continues to be full of strife, tumult, and harm. in building the world we want to live in, we will step on each other's toes, we'll butt heads forcefully, we'll commit a thousand sins small and grave. but there is no other way. there is no way to build a community without community, and there is no community without tension, friction, and discomfort, because communities are made of people, and people are too rich and varied and messy and complex to snap together perfectly and seamlessly like frictionless uniform bricks in a physics exercise

we will never be perfect. we will always be fraught. coming together to run a community, shape a society, build a better world will always require compromise and generate bruised feelings. but these efforts only fail entirely if we pull away permanently, if we fully disengage

when Mosheh's face begins to glow, he does put on a veil, but, crucially, not when he is talking to G-d or to the Israelites. to be in community with others, he has to be there as his whole, disquieting self, not a covered, tamed version modulated for others' comfort. we don't read that the Israelites ever really adjusted to this — for all we know, every time the light of Mosheh's face fell on them, they felt the same tremor they felt the first time around — but they come near all the same. we have to do so too

to build a world where we all can live and flourish, we have to show up as our full selves, and be ready for others to show up as their full selves too. this work is hard, it is messy, it is uncomfortable, but it is infinitely, irreplaceably worth doing. it is the work that is before us all

Karyn's Cranberry Crisp- Thanksgiving

Fully Cooked Cranberry Crisp This recipe has been around pretty much my whole married life. If there is a turkey on the table, there is cranberry crisp next to it.  It originated from my bestie Karyn. We make it for Passover with matzoh farfel since we love it so much.  It’s so sweet and delicious that it could really be a dessert. We love it with our meal; love the sweet and savory thing. You…

I've been watching military ration reviews and have been noticing how complicated and decadent US menus (e.g. barbecue pork tortilla wraps, dried cranberies, chocolate pudding) are compared to PLA nutrition (rice, pickled vegetable, hawthorn cereal bars). Is this worth the time and money of the US?

MRE rations are hardly complicated, industrial food processes are capable of creating such meals at scale. And anyone who has ever eaten a US MRE knows that there's actually quite a bit of self-assembly required. Given the morale effect that decent-tasting meals have, I'd say that yes, being able to effectively supply calories to troops that soldiers enjoy in the field is worth the expense.

A decent meal is hardly decadent. I know China (and Russia) try to portray themselves via their propaganda as manly through suffering (I've seen "Battle of Changjin Lake 1"), but honestly, it actually makes the PRC look pathetic because they can't properly supply its soldiers in the field. And if I ever thought to believe such nonsense, I think PLA peacekeeper performance in Juba would disabuse me of the notion very quick. It's a rare army that runs from an irregular foe and abandons non-combatants they were explicitly charged with defending, but in fairness, the PRC is largely a juvenile world power anyway. They want the perks without the responsibilities, just like any kid who believes growing up means eating ice cream whenever they want.

If I were a Chinese soldier or internet booster, I'd be concerned about the high rates of mold found within Chinese field rations. There have been multiple instances of poor quality control and reviews of Chinese MRE's that have ended with serious gastrointestinal problems, one YouTube MRE reviewer even had to have his stomach pumped. He had eaten British rations dating back from the Boer War, but it was poor quality control in Chinese rations that finally bested his iron stomach. Not only is that dangerous for a soldier's health but speaks poorly to quality control for the rest of PLA kit. If supply can't be bothered to make sure their field rations are in order, what does that say about armor, or weapons systems, or electrical wiring? What else is going to have a risk of failure due to poor manufacture and storage?

Also you should work on your English. Your sentence structure is bad. You should have said: "complicated and decadent US menus...to PLA nutritious ones," not "PLA nutrition."

Ah well, better luck next time.

Hiii! I was looking at the character playlists on the TBS website and thought of some songs that I think would match with them,

Old friend- mitski, for joan

and Zombie- The cranberies, for frank

I know that it's complicated to add new songs to the already done playlists, but it's nice to give my little music opinions anyway, give them a listen if you have time :)

ooooooh I LOVE these choices for these characters!!! they are spot-on. I always love getting music suggestions, so thank you so much!!!

Zjedzone: 1470 kcal (limit +/-2100 kcal)

Bez liczenia: 28 migdałów, batonik 'NUTBAR' peanut almond cranbery 30g (Action)/ gorzkie kakao + mleko 0.5%+ woda+ słodzik

Cóż mogę powiedzieć... O, stało się to, co może czekać blogi, które zyskują dużą popularność - ktoś mi pozazdroscił lub poczuł się mocno zagrożony przez treści dotyczące szeroko pojętego tematu zaburzeń odżywiania, diety, recovery.

Nie mam pojęcia kto. No ale trudno. Nie zrobię już podsumowania rocznego bo nie mam dostępu do moich postów...przepadło też 10 postów o mojej historii ED których napisanie było dla mnie takie ciężkie i trudne, ale szczerze i graficznie opisałam w nich moja walkę z an0rex1@ ,bul1m1@ i alkoholizmem oraz moja terapię. Chyba nie ma szans bym je odtworzyła w takiej formie, jaką znaliscie...

Gdybym jeszcze na prawdę coś szkodliwego umieszczała. Czy to, że udało mi się schudnąć zdrowo, wymanewrować moje dawne 3D by za bardzo mi nie doskwierało, szerzyć zdrowe utrzymanie wagi i dzielić się z wami smutkami i radościami codziennego życia, było tak nieznośne dla ciebie - osobo, która postarałaś się bym znikneła?!

Ale nie tylko mnie to spotkało... Nie będę się załamywać i choć ktoś, kto trafi teraz na mojego bloga nie będzie mógł się do niczego odnieść, to ja po prostu pisze dalej jakby się nic nie stało. Nawet numer dnia UTRZYMANIA WAGI idzie zgodnie z licznikiem.

Wkrótce stworzę nowy post przypięty ( niestety całą moja historia ważenia też przepadła) Napisałam do supportu choć wiem, że to gunwo da... Eh niezły prezencik na Mikołajki - nie ma co.

***

Przez to wszystko na nic nie mam chęci. Miałam ambitny plan na ten dzień, a zrobił się poślizg aż do wieczora. I z planami jestem w czarnej dupie (@klepsydracz4su pamiętam o tej liście "zadań dorosłej osoby", może jutro będzie już taki luźniejszy post to trochę się wszyscy pośmiejemy 😉) Dziś nawet jedzenie kalorycznie mi nie bardzo wyszło... szajt! 😮‍💨

***

Mówi się że po upadku najlepiej szybko wstać, otrzepac się i iść dalej - tak też zrobię.

Cieszę się, że wszystkie najbliższe mi (i te trochę dalsze) osoby powoli wracają. Nawet nie wiedziałam, że tylu ludzi czytało na prawdę tego bloga i nigdy się do mnie nie odezwało, ani nie skomentowało. Pozdrawiam więc i was Cisi Obserwatorzy 💕! Postaram się by wszystko szybko wróciło na dobre tory więc do nowego roku posty na pewno będą wygladały tak samo jak na starym blogu i wszystko, to co znacie będzie tak samo.

5- favorite form of potato?

13- First thing you're doing during the purge?

28- Last meal on earth?

thank u!!

god. this is genuinely so hard, but i think it has to be potatoes au gratin. or maybe a baked potato with lots of cheese and sour cream and bacon. GAH i can't choose.

i think i'd try to get petty revenge lmaoo. if i could get away with it, i wouldn't do anything evil, but i'd like, slash some tires and flood some basements of people who have pissed me off lmaoo

hmmm... like a big thanksgiving dinner. oooh or the leftover-thanksgiving sandwiches you gotta eat for like a week after-- turkey and potatoes and cranberies and gravy and greenbeans... yeahhh

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

it really sucks that black licorice is really bad for blood pressure because it is literally one of my favorite flavors on earth, especially salmiak licorice. i gotta be SUPER careful with it because if i let myself go unchecked i will just eat a whole package at once and feel like SHIT for a couple days

but it's SO GOOD

sometimes it feels like i'm supposed to be such a slut and i'd be happy with that but also i have no training in being a slut so it's all kinda just theoretical. in addition to the constant lack of energy - fatigue stuff. and also . covid.

i wish there was a fourth gathering job in ffxiv because i love the other 3 gathering jobs and leveled them up before any of the crafting jobs. idk what the fourth one might be since they've got most of the materials acquisition covered. maybe like. game trapper or something to match the fisher, but that's pretty covered just by any of the combat jobs really

i've been trying to develop the perfect drink and so far the closest i have is canned frozen limeade plus canned frozen cranbery/cran-(fruit) blended with ice and some water. perfectly tart and also with a deep sweetness and a little bitterness, and it's SO refreshing. i think there's a way to improve it further, maybe add a little salt or blend it with hibiscus tea instea of water. but gosh i love a sluicy juicy beverage

I MISS MOUNTAINS i saw a picture of the rockies earlier and it fuckin killed me with yearning. also i desperately want to see the desert again and i'm considering reinitiating contact with my accursed family to scam them out of airplane money to go to arizona and instead of seeing them, see my gf and the desert
