#i don't know why you would

[withoutaconscienceorafilter]

Personal rambling under cut, I just need to talk out loud into the void for a bit to get my thoughts in order...

I've definitely over-scheduled myself. But I'm having fun! But I definitely haven't left enough time in my life for just ... existing. Or hobbies.

So at the moment I'm involved with:

school district facilities advisory committee

school district rebuild advisory committee for school #2

PTSA, leading sustainability movement

PTSA, leading advocacy at school #2

PTSA, loosely involved in school #1 BECAUSE THE PTSA PRESIDENT PISSES ME OFF SO BADLY

Eastside Urbanism

Eastside Environmental Equity

A cross-district, PTSA-member-based sustainability workgroup

commenting on the city's comprehensive plan, transportation plan, etc. when I have time

attending all the fucking school board meetings, because I'm deeply interested in what's going on and eying one of the seats in 2025

taking 2 classes

absorbing DEI concepts when I can

But like .... what am I doing?

Signing school #2 up to use a state-based carpool-finding program to try to reduce single-occupancy vehicles driving to/from school

Helping a parent from school #2 bring a complaint to the school board next month .... I would like to get some photos, data, possibly other commenters, etc. to go with that for maximum impact

Planning the next Sustainability Committee meeting, which is going to be a round-table about non-car, lower-carbon transportation options and how to encourage them

Trying to raise grassroots community feedback to tell the school when they're being STUPID about things, such as equity, their attempts to build a new school that is not future-ready or equitable, how much their facilities department SUCKS, they need a sustainability plan, etc.

I'd like to take info from 56 schools' PTSA sustainability programs to build a "best practices" guide of how to get various projects started and successful, but in what free time??

And in between everything else, a means, not an end....

reading Street Data to try to understand where the Deputy Superintendent of Equity is coming from

reading Urban Schools: Designing for High Density once it arrives, so that I can tell the Facilities group they are a bunch of short-sighted morons

Trying to read Raw Dog, which a server member described as "unhinged" and "like if Wade Wilson wrote a book about hot dogs" 😂😂😂

Plus I'm writing Febuwhump, trying to see my board game group at least every 2 weeks, and raising three humans, including the one with a pretty hard-core IEP, help

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

the easy grip on the knife. the leg over the seat. the hand over the other seat. the sassy "come get it" move. you know the bitch is smiling behind that mask even as he said the line.

Fat people deserve mobility aids, too. No matter if it's connected to their fatness or not, because having a mobility issue that is connected to one's fatness won't change that they're still fat and still have the issue at hand. Fat people don't deserve to "tough it out" because fatness should be this divine punishment doled out to those who "deserve" it. Fat disabled people deserve to have the peace of mind that they can exist in whatever way is most comfortable and accessible to them

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.

Part two of the reverse verse is here! The reverse boys meet the original boys. They're not really getting along as well as I had hoped...

Again, this was a commission for @i-am-as-normal-as-you-are and they asked for angst/funny vibes... I think it's mostly just angst though. Oh, well...

Part one

things you can tell people if they ask you about the scars on your face:

- "large scale worm attack" - "clowns tried to steal my skin but I got away" - "nearly got overtaken by the evil fog" - "cursed door incident" - "the angles cut me when I try to think" - "a cop bit me" - "gym membership went horribly wrong" - "rock concert went horribly wrong" - "got stuck underground for eight months" - "the last girl I kissed was reallyyyy hot. literally" - "stared at the void (it stared back)" - "got rid of the death vines but at what cost" - "ask me again and I'll give you fucking vertigo" - "I saw too much and now I bear the marks of my hubris" - "the spiders. they want out ::::)"

I mean this gently but I have to say somethin' here- I've been getting so much "make your skirts cheaper" "I love this but why are they soooo expensive" etc lately and like look, I know a lot of this is because times are hard.. (otherwise why would I be hearing this more & more this year when prices haven't changed compared to last year) but I just wanna say that one of the only ways I could lower prices (if I was ruthless and didn't care) would be to cut sizing options. Like idk how to word what I'm trying to say, but just know when you shout stuff like this at other brands & they decide they need to find a way to cut costs to lower prices, being size inclusive is gonna be one of the first things to go. I have no plans to do this myself, but for example, a D Size Skater costs me almost twice as much (talking about only the direct from the manu cost, there are other factors too such as that they weigh more so that adds more shipping costs as well) as an A Size Skater. Say I cut D Size altogether.. and many companies would have by now while also not even lowering the price.. I could increase my profit margins significantly right away. Now lets say I cut both C and D and become a shop that only offers the standard range of SM-XL. Wow! Suddenly profits are up so much!! Or maybe going not full corporate greed, I could handle lowering skater prices by like $10 (random number not based on real math idk what things would actually work out to because I'm not gonna do it). But now no one over a size XL can order from me. I fear none of what I'm trying to get across is getting across but I just mean to say, in order to offer what I offer, the prices need to be what they are. They aren't set arbitrarily high & lowering them would mean needing to make choices that I will not make (becoming less size inclusive or making my business unsustainable in the sense that it would not survive long).
