#is the issue

[silicon-based-life]

i miss twitter sometimes because i used to just post whatever over there, but here i don’t like. make my own posts or anything so i am going to just change that. this is my blog my rules, i’m gonna talk about my life (because i’ll walk into lake michigan fully clothed before i get back on twitter fr)

so anyway, updates from my life: i’m moving back to chicago this weekend!!!!! i’m very excited, though it’s kind of surreal that in literally less than a week i’m going to be an Adult with a Job™️. freaky, tbh. i’m going to try to start my new campaign in like a month, which is also exciting, though i’m currently in a weird limbo anxiety stage of starting to overplan and being worried that it will be any good. trying to counteract that by thinking positively.

also i’m going to make guacamole tomorrow 🙏🏽

two of my siblings have one bad eye and one fine eye and i called them lopsided because i am evil and mean and also they dont care. however karma has come to hurt and injure me and toss me around and spit on me because alas, i have been forced to notice that one of my eyes........ does not work as well as the other. blast and confound it.

#glasses look weird on me specifically #is the issue #also when i was in elementary school i thought that wearing glasses would make me more likely to get hit by lightning #and stayed up multiple nights in a row due to Lightning Terror #so no versions of me are pleased

how am i supposed to shop for us when half the time we look like a doll that fell in strawberry syrup and the other half we look good

#i dont know what bag we should get #is the issue #the pink one or the black one #realistically black... #i lean black/blue him pink/black #but i know hes trying to go pink/white... so black would look out of place #the obvious solution is two bags. #im more of a backpack person though... #huh #ashes current bag retails for that much? #idk its kinda annoying #i dont want a bag with pu leather. because thats where its being held together at #the issue is that i dont like crossbody bags... i need one though

i’m searching for a fic and it’s gonna drive me bonkers bc i can’t find it (this is also like my third attempt) and the worst part is i remember the plot and stuff but i’m not sure what pairing or even FANDOM it was. like i thought i knew. but perhaps not

#bird noises #i regularly sort by random tags and read fics in fandoms im not in #is the issue #if anyones wondering #the vibes in my head are bnha #todoroki for SURE #sure ish #and i think?? bakugo?? #could be any guy tho rlly #it was smut i admit but the part that makes me want to find it #is that the whole plot was that todoroki or WHOEVER was faking expressions during sex or whenever #and nooo forcing yourself to emote is bad #so you dont have to do that #and yeah idk its sweet to me i want to finddd itttt

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

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

#i love reading your examples! however next person to be like um actually this exists?? it’s on sight #i know it exists. i think it’s fun. that’s why i think more people should do it. #sometimes i think the confessional style loses impact because everything has to be excavated from the depths of the soul #and somehow. confessional writing seems to be going with the most disaffected bland sound possible. odd. #i love deeply personal songs! i love when songs sound like they mean something to the artist! #something something wider issue of mining trauma and being performatively vulnerable for quote unquote content #idk i don’t have the actual knowledge to write about this well there’s just something not landing for me recently #mine

The most terrifying part of having memory issues is when you can feel something from 5 seconds ago be thrown out the window and there's an empty hole where it once was. You remember that you forgot something.

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

#thinking about the person i saw saying that if you're at a protest #and other protesters try to stop you from becoming violent you should just kill them bc 'peace police are still police' #even taken as hyperbole that's simply dumb as shit on every conceivable level #it's also pretty blatantly hypocritical coming from people who are usually self-avowed prison/death penalty abolitionists #like i'm sorry but you don't get to be a death penalty abolitionist and also call for the death of your political enemies online #this isn't a major issue or anything i'm just bored and annoyed

This is a friendly reminder that none disabled people often do benefit from the same accommodations disabled people benefit from.

Please stop seeing politics as an identity and start seeing it as a collective means for change

#i am so tired of ppl trying to use 'theres no ethical consumption under capitalism' in regards to BDS #it's not about ethics it's about participating in a political strategy palestinians have spent YEARS promoting as a means for change #some things are in fact not about you #social justice #I/P #social issues #palestine #gaza #free palestine #free gaza #id in alt #overflowing trashcan

I just wanted to share this article about Palestine's right to revolt and why it is important that we support it. It also has sources embedded in the text that debunk misinformation about them and Hamas. I implore everyone to read it and spread this information around.

Edit [12/25/23 3:19 PM GMT+]: I should also emphasize that the article is an opinion piece, so I also encourage you to also do further research to come to your own critical conclusions.

As a whole, the article still explores why Palestinians resist. As someone whose entire history was build on resisting against oppressors (I'm Filipino), I can understand and empathize where they are coming from. This is one way that I wish to express my solidarity.
