Does anyone else have the urge to delete all your online presence and hide in a cave? Just me? Ok.

Moon Serpent and Bone: December, 2023

On Friday, December 8, 2023, I have the honor of joining so many wonderfully talented Psychic Readers, Practitioners, Witches and Vendors for the Moon Serpent and Bone 5th Annual Yule Festival. I AM honored to have been one of the 43 applications selected out of more than 250 of them. For more information, you can visit: http://www.moonserpentandbone.com In the meantime, during this Moon…

MLK Day being overshadowed by Trump's Inauguration in the media is 100% intentional

  More so given how heavily politicized MLK and the day in his honor were made in recent decades by both parties. For context, MLK’s birthday is actually January 15. Making the third Monday of January MLK day was done simply for the sake of consistency. I don’t know if this is the first time Inauguration Day happened to fall on the same day as MLK Day before but I do know that if it originally…

I’m not sure when exactly this happened, but I think it’s clear that the aro community really is a community, now.

For the longest time I’ve felt like we were still in stasis, not quite there; a proto-community, yes, but not quite a community. But we have more history now to lean back on, more of each other to talk to and laugh with and cry with and learn from. More people that’ll go forward and make a part of modern aro history. More people that believe us, believe in us, will stand with us if we ask them.

I wouldn’t consider myself an aro elder yet, though each year I’m surprised at how long aromanticism has been a part of my life, how long I’ve been free of doubt or insecurity about my aromanticism, how far we’ve come since I was questioning. Then again, when I was questioning, some of the people I looked up to for guidance were probably close to the age I am now, so I might be there sooner than I think.

And, I’m so so hopeful for all aros, young or old, new or not, because we’ve come so far. Day by day, progress is slow (and yes, it’s unfair, it should be so much faster), but looking back it feels fast. We are our own role models, the people we look up to for guidance. We carve our own path through life, making things up as we go. I used to find that terrifying, because I had no idea what the future would bring. But it’s actually amazing, because I can ignore all these silly “rules” and guidelines about what my life should be, and instead ask, “what do I want my life to be?”

Younger me, you have no idea how awesome your future is gonna be. I’m sorry about the pain and hardship you’ll go through first; it won’t be fair and you shouldn’t have to deal with it. But you’ll make it through, and one day you’ll be me. I can’t wait for you to get here.

December. The month when things get sad again for no reason. When the sky is dark and life's scary, when the hopes of january are mixed with the reality of december, it's hurting and nostalgic and loud with such painful silence that is now getting difficult to bear.

And sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in.

Uh, hey! I'm somewhat new to the blogging scene and I would like to share my blog with other people. It's just going to be a collection of tutorials, personal stuff, and some other random stuff.

we gotta bring back livejournal and wordpress and forums and weird little blogsites that aren't connected to any social media presence at all its just people online doing online things. the internet is so small now bc we're all squished into the same sites. we used to be so spread out. we used to be a proper decentralised digital culture

COSMODE Wormlotte Hand Puppet prototype complete! Google Translate was a lifeline, not that that meant I hadn't run into steps I had trouble figuring out. But I'm glad I was able to finish it!

December 5, 2023 - Tuesday

Watch out, all my cold season pics are abt to look like this lol I just discovered the huji app and am momentarily obsessed! Brb crying at how pretty it made those roses look. In other (boring) news I made a work from home schedule and am trying my best to follow it. You know me. When I make lists I always include 500 things I probably won’t have time to do and stress myself out 🤧

This article punched me in the gut. If we create a world where our creativity will just be siphoned off by some jerk with access to the cloud, what’s the point anymore?

I’ve made a (renewed) list of documentaries, lectures and other videos I’ve watched about Srebrenica

Documentaries

A cry from the grave

Srebrenica Genocide: No Room For Denial

ICTY remembers: Srebrenica genocide

Why Srebrenica had to fall

A deadly warning, Srebrenica revisited

The house Fata didn’t build

Women who refuse to die

Channels

Remembering Srebrenica channel on YouTube with many short videos

FAMA methodology channel - has many short videos and lectures

Lectures

Establishing the facts - Jean-Rene Ruez

The place of the Srebrenica massacre in the Bosnian genocide - Marko Attila Hoare

The role of the UN - Hasan Nuhanović

Genocide memorial day lecture (role of the UN) - Hasan Nuhanović

(the last two are important for understanding how the UN abandoned Srebrenica and contributed to the massacre)

Drone footage of Potočari from above, just so you can see how the Memorial Center now looks.

Bosnian only, no translation

Daleko je Tuzla

Putevi spasa

Zbijeg - priča Hasana Nuhanovića

Zločin i kazna - Srebrenica

Preživjeli

Nesmireni snovi

And here is a lengthy but detailed and well written text on why a revisionist documentary called “A town betrayed” is not a good source to learn about what happened in Srebrenica.

In addition, there are separate posts about Višegrad and Prijedor.

I don't know about soulmates but I just wish everyone had that one person in their lives in front of whom they can be vulnerable. In front of whom, they never have to fake their emotions, they never have to think before speaking, never have that fear of being judged. Just to yap about random things, to have that comfortable silence with, I wish everyone had someone and no one feels alone.
