This probably isn't appropriate to ask but you've been so forthcoming with information that I gotta.

Were you deployed with ummm....an "attachment" or did you acquire it later?

Between you and me, sweetheart, nothing is too inappropriate to ask. 😏

I’m not sure what you mean by attachment, but I’ll have you know, I came equipped everything I’d ever need and baby, I come prepared for so many scenarios.

"elf with an overactive thyroid" and "carcass full of memory banks who should be squatting in a mushroom" are my two new favourite insults

Suppose there is a happy ending for them, one where Dakota curls up in his embrace and the haunting stops. Pauses. Some shit the supernatural would do. There is a dream where she is a ghost and he still kisses her.

The key to amazing communication! Unraveling the effects of different experiences and values on human relationships!

“Chat with God - Your common sense is someone else's nonsense -” by Mitsuro Sato

The insightful book titled "Chatting with God - Your common sense is someone else's common sense" was penned by Japanese psychologist Taizo Kato. The purpose of this book is to investigate and amplify knowledge of the disparities in values in interpersonal interactions and communication. Kato acknowledges that individuals possess varying beliefs and perspectives, and stresses the significance of enhancing empathy and comprehension with others via conversation.

This book explains why different people respond in various ways to the same information or scenario and how relationships are impacted by this. According to Kato, people's actions and decisions are heavily influenced by their unique experiences and values. She also stated that in order to have effective communication and create wholesome relationships, it is critical to recognize and value the opinions of others. It makes that clear.

In order to clear up misconceptions and disputes brought on by persons with disparate experiences and values, Kato also stresses the significance of dialogue and communication. He asserts that we can create stronger bonds with one another by understanding and respecting the opinions and feelings of others.

This book will offer helpful recommendations to readers who are interested in social and personal development. Readers will be able to get insights on living a richer life and strengthen their relationships with others and themselves through Kato's insightful and empathetic writing style.

The Idea of Spiritual Separation (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1)

Comparative holiness will get us nowhere.

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with…

If you heard that spoon drop it's 'cause I'm eating a bowl of fruit loops

I was recently, at midnight, watching a stand-up comedy special to try to help me sleep.  I specifically was watching John Mulvaney’s latest stand-up special. The one after his rehab stint.  It was funny. It was self-deprecating. It was timely. I think, in many ways, there are a ton of people who could relate to his journey to sobriety.  Even though his story contained a story about a $10,000…

Let us be brutally honest with ourselves and with eachother for a moment. If he weren't obese you motherfuckers would be capable of percieving evrart claires sexy sexy moral ambiguity and complex charms

#i am (lesbian) sipping him like a fine DESSERT WINE #my evidence by the way is very simple and very damning. joyce messier. there i said it. #if you guys can appreciate the fact that Joyce is a complex figure worthy of disgust yes but also worthy of empathy #despite being a venal coward facilitating acts of violence and slaughter of the organized working poor of martinaise in the name of capital #if you can understand that she is a dimensional figure while also being an embodiment of the moral apathy and cruelty if capital owners #but you cant look at evrart and see that he is (while deeply flawed and morally suspect) also a dimensional figure #on top of the fact that his motivations are eminently relatable and dare i say it baser #and his greatest failing imho is in failing to advocate for the interests of *all* the poor of martinaise #opting instead to marginalize the inhabitants of the fishing village in favor of a power grab in the interests of himself and his union #though this is imo a bit of a grey area morally. undeniably a wrong and bad thing to do but done in service of clairs political goals #to gather power to advocate for the working class against ultraliberal monoliths like wild pines and fascistic orgs like krenel #still super wrong but i can follow the moral arithmetic there tho i don't like it #but like my point is if u can see that joyce is evil and pathetic but still cool and sexy but you consider clair flatly distasteful #thats cus hes not conventionally attractive #cus he is *every bit* as dimensional and interesting as joyce and he is not nearly as politically shite even if hes interpersonally a jerk

Book 969: The Art of Communicating - Thích Nhất Hạnh

Book 969: The Art of Communicating by Thích Nhất Hạnh - #buddhism #communication #interpersonalcommunications #nonfiction #philosophy #psychology #relationships #religion #selfhelp #spirituality #technology #bookreview #books #bookblogger

I had to read this for a course I’m talking about the art of brave communication. We only had to read the first couple of chapters, but I found it to be an approachable and relatively easy read so kept going. Where Hanh excelled was in his simple writing. For the most part, there were no overwrought metaphors or awkward analogies. There was one at the end that I’ll get to, but I think it’s a…

I've posted abt this b4 but I'm forever gonna be feral over how much KimCom loves KDJ and how through all the metaphors and similes of ORV that's the entire POINT.

All the little and big things they did to save him from himself and show their love and loyalty to him. How they accepted him until the end even tho he could only bring himself to love through the thin veneer of Loving A Story. KDJ loved in complicated and labrynthic metaphors, similes, and WALLS and they saw that and were like yeah okay. Not the weirdest thing I've seen. And tried to understand him anyways. Even saw beauty and worth in his jagged edges.

ORV is about loving a story so so much it comes to life and the story loving you so so much it tries to save you. ORV is about how every one is a story, and every story matters, every story continues on even if there's no one to witness it as it happens. These people were the story that kept Kim Dokja alive and the story that continued writing itself long after the Writer had left the building. The story was alive, and the story wanted to write a happy ending for their Beloved Reader.

AUGGH many thoughts head full

Loyal Reader, the story loves you as much as you love it. Attentive Reader, the story was made to save you as you were made to breathe life into it. Affectionate Reader, someday this story will reach you (these people will reach you) and the people who love you (the story that loves you) will save you as you saved them. Dearest Reader, did you know you're a story (person) too? Beloved Dokja, didn't you know you were also worth being loyal to, being paid attention to? Kim Dokja, didn't you know we love you too?

was thinking about why the fandom focuses on callum's devotion to rayla more so than the other way around - even if they're equally nuts in a lot of ways and i do think the focus is 60/40 - and i think a lot if is really comes down to callum just being 'easier' to love than rayla like, objectively, especially in arc 1.

he's sweet and goofy and emotionally open, he can be insecure and get stuck in his head but that's very internal, he makes mistakes but never anything too major, at most interpersonal relationship wise he can be a bit pushy or momentarily cruel, he's a prince and wanted peace with the elves from the start, he never really causes massive disasters and when he does there was a 50-50 chance it was going to work out anyway or if he is taking a massive risk, thus far it's really only involved risking himself.

he's cute and caring and has never really broken her heart (as she maintains hope even throughout his bouts of cold shoulder in s4). of course she loves him. of course she'd risk everything and anything for him. and even in arc 2 when he's being cold, he's still caring and still knows when to step in and support her

rayla is like... a much more 'difficult' character and person from the start. she lies repeatedly, especially to cover up her failures, she can swagger without actual substance, she's snarky and stand offish and can be snappish. she breaks at the worst of times and often leads to other people being put at risk. she abandons him and breaks his heart. she showed up threatening to kill him. she blew up their lives together and repeats the same mistakes over and over again.

on a surface level and on an interpersonal level, she's far more of an overt piece of work, whereas callum's nastiness comes out more sparingly and is more hidden under the surface; it's not always so apparent. but rayla's typically is, she is a moonshadow elf who fundamentally cannot hide her flaws even when she's trying to so hard

and callum loves her anyway.

he's endeared by the snark, he persists past the standoffish, she pushes him away and he keeps coming back to try and help her, he gets angry but he ultimately (and always rather quickly) forgives her, he's had multiple people telling him that she's bad and cannot/should not be trusted and just flat out doesn't listen to them, because he believes so fundamentally in her goodness, even or especially when she doesn't believe in it because of all the reasons above. he knows she can be difficult and he either doesn't care or loves her not in spite of those things but because of those things. and that's what's so appealing about that aspect of their dynamic.

callum is a wonderful walk in the park when it comes to catching feelings with only a few hiccups, and so often rayla is a ditch with spikes, and callum just goes "challenge accepted" every time (and succeeds) because he knows/believes that she's worth it (and he's right)

#rayllum #rayllum fandom #the dragon prince #tdp #like rayla is a gem but interpersonal relationship wise she's an uphill climb y'know? #text post #mini meta #mine #like rayla needs someone who is Devoted to her #and callum needs someone who Believes in him #if that distinction makes any sense #and i think it's a great underlying aspect of what makes them work #which is a pattern i think i identified in them... god early post s3 bc they gave me slight shallura vibes #but yeah fucking wild y'know? #in honour of Snake Boi Callum Week #& i've been the callum on this side of things throughout most of my friendships/dynamics tbh #of you love someone so much who just has such a hard time speaking nicely about themselves #which is one of the many reasons i relate to him the most i think

(...) Silver had terrible hard work getting up the knoll. What with the steepness of the incline, the thick tree stumps, and the soft sand, he and his crutch were as helpless as a ship in stays. But he stuck to it like a man in silence, and at last arrived before the captain, whom he saluted in the handsomest style. He was tricked out in his best; an immense blue coat, thick with brass buttons, hung as low as to his knees, and a fine laced hat was set on the back of his head. “Here you are, my man,” said the captain, raising his head. “You had better sit down.” “You ain’t a-going to let me inside, cap’n?” complained Long John. “It’s a main cold morning, to be sure, sir, to sit outside upon the sand.” “Why, Silver,” said the captain, “if you had pleased to be an honest man, you might have been sitting in your galley. It’s your own doing. You’re either my ship’s cook—and then you were treated handsome—or Cap’n Silver, a common mutineer and pirate, and then you can go hang!” “Well, well, cap’n,” returned the sea-cook, sitting down as he was bidden on the sand, “you’ll have to give me a hand up again, that’s all.” (...) Silver’s face was a picture; his eyes started in his head with wrath. He shook the fire out of his pipe. “Give me a hand up!” he cried. “Not I,” returned the captain. “Who’ll give me a hand up?” he roared. Not a man among us moved. Growling the foulest imprecations, he crawled along the sand till he got hold of the porch and could hoist himself again upon his crutch. Then he spat into the spring. “There!” he cried. “That’s what I think of ye. Before an hour’s out, I’ll stove in your old block house like a rum puncheon. Laugh, by thunder, laugh! Before an hour’s out, ye’ll laugh upon the other side. Them that die’ll be the lucky ones.” And with a dreadful oath he stumbled off, ploughed down the sand, was helped across the stockade, after four or five failures, by the man with the flag of truce, and disappeared in an instant afterwards among the trees.

#one of the most compelling aspects of black sails as an adaptation is that it absolutely plucks out these threads and weaves them #in an even clearer pattern #there is no merit in a civilisation that metes out humiliation to the ones it deems dishonourable and the connection between the two #and basic human kindness #same as i would argue there is no personal value to people that engage in the same type of behaviour on the interpersonal level #(as seen through dufresne) #disfigurement and disability as spectacle and spectacle as punishment and the system of values that upholds both #which leads to the weaponisation vulnerability in the face of brutality #(this among many other things extends to jack's character arc and his relationship with masculinity as represented by blackbeard) #but also in specific relation to disability #the imagery billy foists over silver's name without permission as part of his propaganda #has direct roots to the impact of the original material #to the one legged demon jim hawkins conjures up in his mind #and to the belief systems inherent to the success of chattel slavery #there is no ideological difference between a belief in racial purity and ableism #the two are always hand in hand #anyway look at the violence inherent in the system etc #black sails #treasure island

Insiders and Outsiders (Romans 11:13-29)

There is no room in God’s benevolent kingdom for simpletons who fail to see beyond the end of their noses. Instead, we are to appreciate our brother who looks, thinks, and lives differently than us.

But I don’t want to go on about them [the Jews]. It’s you, the outsiders, that I’m concerned with now. Because my personal assignment is focused on the so-called outsiders, I make as much of this as I can when I’m among my Israelite kin, the so-called insiders, hoping they’ll realize what they’re missing and want to get in on what God is doing. If their falling out initiated this worldwide coming…

These echo chambers can be claustrophobic

How has technology changed your job? Look, technology keeps evolving. I’m old enough to remember Blockbuster. I’m hearing that they may make a comeback. They went away, and maybe they’ll come back new and enhanced. Technology keeps us moving forward. Although, it also seems as if it makes us regress a bit as well. All these years of zoom meetings does have an impact on how our brains are wired.…
