A couple of lines or eight pages, a Middle Eastern stamp or a suburban postmark . . . I hoard all these letters like treasure. One day I hope to fasten them end to end in a half-mile streamer, to float in the wind like a banner raised to the glory of friendship. It will keep the vultures at bay.

"Aujourd′hui, il me semble que toute mon existence n'aura été qu′un enchaînement de petits ratages. Des femmes qu'on n'a pas su aimer, des chances qu′on n′a pas voulu saisir, des instants de bonheur qu'on a laissés s′envoler. Une course dont on connaît le résultat, mais on est incapable de toucher le gagnant. Étais-je aveugle et sourd, ou bien fallait-il nécessairement la lumière d'un malheur pour m′éclairer sur ma vraie nature?"

roses picked at dusk, the laziness of a rainy Sunday, a child crying himself to sleep

Other letters simply relate the small events that punctuate the passage of time: roses picked at dusk, the laziness of a rainy Sunday, a child crying himself to sleep. Capturing the moment, these small slices of life, these small gusts of happiness, move me more deeply than all the rest. A couple of lines or eight pages, a Middle Eastern stamp or a suburban postmark … I hoard all these letters like treasure. One day I hope to fasten them end to end in a half-mile streamer, to float in the wind like a banner raised to the glory of friendship.”

I am fading away. Slowly but surely. Like the sailor who watches his home shore gradually disappear, I watch my past recede. My old life still burns within me, but more and more of it is reduced to the ashes of memory.

Starting the new year by reading The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly.

Memoirs aren't a genre I typically go for, but this one sounded so interesting that I had to give it a go.

I long to escape, but every time the chance arises, a leaden torpor prevents me from taking even a single step. I am petrified, mummified, vitrified. If just one door stands between me and freedom, I am incapable of opening it.

"Not appreciating [generative]AI is ableist."-NaNoWriMo

Jean-Dominique Bauby wrote his memoir The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by blinking his fucking eyes one letter at a time.

Don't tell me something techbros pulled from their asses 18 months ago and shoved down our throats is going to save the creative will of the human spirit.

Fuck you, NaNoWriMo. Fuuuuuck you.

As someone who grew up with a profoundly disabled close family friend, yes, certain tech would have helped him communicate better with the outside world. The year he passed away, researchers had just started successfully testing a paralyzed person tweeting directly from their mind. But it wasn't generative AI.

Disabled people are not human shields for your shitty opinions. Absolute shame on you

Hi there, I'm curious with designs, if it would make sense for someone who lost their eyes to injury or was born without them, to have their eyelids sealed closed instead of using prosthetic/glass eyes, if there would be any reasons for that?

Hey, not really to my knowledge. At least I never heard of it being done just because of eye loss, though it could be done where there's an infection going on to help it heal (that's what happened to Jean-Dominique Bauby, the guy who wrote The Diving Bell and the Butterfly). If someone was born without eyes, the recommended thing is getting either ocular prosthetics or conformers. I wrote about it here on a different blog some time ago. The impression you might get from some eyeless people as having their eyelids sealed is that they don't have the muscles to open them, since if they were always totally blind it's just not something they automatically learned to do, so the eyelids stay closed. And if they never wore any prosthetics/conformers then the structure of that part of the face is often different so it might look even more like that

Can you tell us curious things about rebecca? Like her favorite color or food, skincare, favorite music hahaha

Hi! I don't think she ever mantiones her favourites so to say, her interviews are mostly about her characters and filmmaking process or her personal experiences that are about life in genral and it's always more intereting to watch/hear her interviews than read a retelling lol from me.

Ok from what you mentioned Rebecca said once she is great at making meatballs (Swedish national, so to say) and her husband loves a Surströmming, which is a very paticular swedish dish - rotten herring. She loves coffee and chocolate. When training for Mission she ate a lot of chia pudding, a lot of coconut: coconut flakes, coconut butter, coconut oil.

She enjoys reading any collection of short stories. She metioned Dorothy Parker, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique-Bauby, Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter for her kids.

Rebecca posted on her IG story attending the Harry Styles concert in London last year, mentioned going to No Doubt concert in her teenage years in Stockholm and is friends with Sting, so if that's any indication of what music she loves but i guess you if you follow her on Instagram you just pay attention to what kind of tracks she selects for her stories.

She loves coconut oil for her skin and makeup and Weleda skinfood light creme. She said she is not good at doing her own hair and makeup but she has a skincare routine she come to enjoy.

Rebecca has a background in dancing - she thought she might be a ballerina but per her own words got bored with tutus and switched to hip-hop and then argentinian tango which she still loves.

She started living on her own and paying her bills at 16. When first job at the soap opera ended she didn't know if wanted to act anymore so she worked all kinds of jobs - she was a hostess at a korean restaurant, at a daycare centre and as a nanny, in a jewellery shop and in a shoe shop.

She never mentioned if she has any pets but in one recent interview for Silo she said she comes home from set and she wants to tuck her child to bed and feed the cats, so maybe she has cats?:) 

When she lived in Sweden she bought a circus vagon and renovated it as place to stay/a small house, and she generally loves design and vintage furniture.
