probably should've mentioned it's that time of year again, in which my family gets together for family reunion(s). i always, always get super stressed during this time bc of the chaos that is my large family—like to the point of losing sleep lol—so i've been insanely MIA as a result!! very sorry for the radio silence, hope to get back on schedule soon, across all my blogs!!

hearing Sam talk about watching the US election (in the Patreon video) was pretty surreal as an overseas voter also in the UK lol

I will probably be very anxious for the next few days and will be needing a lot of SFTH to distract myself...

a weird tumblr discourse trend is to claim that the average person is deeply invested in other people having miserable enforced cishet marriages and seventeen kids. no, that's just the american weird evangelical cult you grew up in. i'd even venture to say that "normal people" would find that an unusual number of kids for one person to have and (correctly) assume you must be in some weird american cult.

not many of u will remember my lore from like a month after i made this blog where i lost my phone which included all my footage from my europe trip in 2023 except Paris, which was the only stuff id backed up. anyway im feeling particularly sad about the footage i took of some ducks in this water feature pond thing i passed walking back into the main part of florence from piazzale michelangelo. the sun was shining and the water was shimmering and these ducklings were just having a wonderful time. this moment exists only in my memory now :(

I'm so sorry about your job. Losing out to automation really fucking sucks. I know it doesn't help much now but fairly soon a lot of those companies will be finding out that AI is not a good enough replacement for humans and so those roles will be opening up again. I hope you find something to bridge the gap soon. Just remember that you're waay better at what you do than any AI and hopefully when those companies come crawling back you can demand a wage increase from them.

thank you for your kind words, they're truly appreciated. i'm trying really hard to stay positive and remind myself that things won't be like this forever, but it's just... difficult. the last time my life felt hopeful and like it was actually going somewhere was pre-pandemic, when i was studying for my master's degree - then covid hit and after that everything has just been going steadily downhill.

i hope you're right, and that things will improve; this is just one of those days where believing that feels like holding on to a cliff edge with my fingertips. praying that i will be able to make some sort of change, any change, before the year is out

also, i can't remember where i first saw this fall-through-the-ice take, but i've been watching it be echoed in youtube comments/twitter/some parts of tumblr, and when people say "we need to hold people with mental illness and developmental disabilities accountable, they can't just get away with it because of their disabilities!!!" i am baffled because. they are. do they know how disparaged, abused, ignored, and erased from society these people are.

when someone with severe autism or schizophrenia or any manner of severe debilitating issue has an outburst, lashes out, hurts someone, and/or does something "bad", the amount of times it's excused is rare. the people who use it as an excuse are those able to understand why they need to use it as an excuse. severe issues can cause severe actions and subsequent consequences — if you actually look at the (estimated!) statistics of mentally ill and developmentally disabled people in jail, prison, and indefinite psychiatric holds as a result of violent or "uncontrollable" behavior, they ARE being punished. and if they're not being punished with imprisonment, they're being punished with abusive "therapy", state/federal programs relying on people who need their services to not understand the process — then make them jump through hoops and wait for half a year at least to make any progress (which can and regularly leaves people homeless and starving), societal ostracization and abandonment, and abusive people who come and go in the form of caretakers, friends, and those who take advantage of their loneliness for benefit payments, if they ever receive them.

the people in these comments are talking specifically about people who don't understand or weren't able to understand at the time what was happening, for the record. the idea that we lost a valuable resource when crowded, abusive, and dangerous asylums could hide these people away from "good and proper" society (of which still happens, see my point of imprisonment via jails and psych wards) and often end in their deaths is such a heartless and nasty belief.
