Starter call! Yep, you saw correctly. I've been making progress in my drafts, and I realized since it was mentioned the other day that I function a little better under pressure, so, yes.

These will be a little shorter (and I'm going to be a little strict with myself on that so that I actually get them written), so expect roughly a paragraph and if it stems from an idea that we've spoken about in plotting or whatnot, then it might be a little longer. But generally, they will be shorter starters that knowing me, will become lengthier threads as the replies progress! This is also welcome to non-Genshin blogs, but then please remember that I do not have any verses outside of Yelan's game canon, and so I'll be looking at your Genshin verses!

I don't know what happened really but all of a sudden in the last few months its really hit me just how much the demographics of the area I live in has changed. It's I think about half white now, possibly less. There was once no Indians in my neighbourhood, now there is a sizeable amount. Other demographics such as chinese and philipino have stayed the same.

The part that concerns me about it all is that whites seem to have an individualistic situation or perspective which atomizes them, not participating in tradition, culture, or working together productively, while most immigrant groups, chiefly the Indians, do to a great extent. They are able to financially outcompete individualist whites with their traditional collectivism, and the whites don't realize that they (we) have to come together and cooperate ourselves in order to stand any chance at not being legitimately displaced.

I don't want to be forced to move from my home town, from the larger general area where I live, this is my home and it's beautiful, and it seems that everyone who moves here now has no regard for the things that make it beautiful. And as things continue in this direction we won't have any ability to fight back against the destruction of the beauty, both because we aren't present in numbers and because we simply aren't here, choosing to live elsewhere.

I don't think this is some kind of "karma" for whites killing and displacing the original natives of the americas. None of this was any problem until the third quarter of the 20th century, and not a severe issue until maybe starting 20 years ago. It's only "karma" insofar as it being some sort of physical prophecy manifestation guided by the international jewry as some kind of punishment to the whites. Something something Sabbatean Frankists or something. Additionally my generation is responsible for none of the original damage, so why is it us that it is decided will feel the punishment so bad?

I don't think it's all really necessary for me to say this stuff, somewhat preaching to the choir here, but I suppose I feel the need to say that I do have a legitimate fear that I'm witnessing, alone, a sort of point of no return for my society. I really don't know what to do, anything actually effective could risk landing me in prison, whether or not I actually achieve anything with it, which I would say I probably wouldn't. If I work within the system I just burn my time away with again an uncertainty of effect, especially since with each passing year the demographics change even more. I refuse to be blackpilled on our situation, but there doesn't seem to be a path to success. I don't know what to do any it's eating away at my mind each day.

Apologies for the long post. This is all taken straight from my thoughts as they collect themselves, so that's how it reads. It is sincere, as I am afraid sincerely.

#cherished mutuals please feel free to lend a thought or two into my situation here #personal musings #if anyone who follows me gets pissy about what I'm talking about or responds negatively I'm pruning them from my tumblr experience

Make the post you want to make, I’m curious now 👀

Okay, here we go. This is not my usual kind of post.

A little tip on how to deal with pain/chronic pain (not a cure in any way)

(not a rant against painkillers either, please take your medication when needed everyone)

So, for various reasons it might sometimes be unadvisable to take (more) pain medication, i.e. because of reactions to the pills, bad side effects, waiting times before taking the next one etc.

What helps me sometimes in these moments is to use something i read about in an article (can't find it right now, in the Guardian maybe?) a while back, which is to try to reframe the pain a bit. That is, to imagine it as a long, slow, flowing river that goes through my body. Especially if the pain is quite sharp in one spot, try not to shy away from it too much but to locate it and imagine it dissipating slowly through your body. You're not trying to get rid of it, you're just trying to redistribute it. Conscious breathing while doing it can be helpful. I find that this sometimes dulls the pain, and sometimes even makes it go away for a while, especially if I don't move too much.

Then, there's a second thing I try to consciously think about (for the more rational side of the brain) which is to remember that pain is a warning signal. My body is trying to warn me about something - maybe about not taxing myself too much because I'm getting my period, maybe about having eaten something that was bad for me, maybe about having gone past my physical limit, maybe about something as of yet undiagnosed. So, I try to tell myself "This is a warning signal, and i have received the warning signal. I will act accordingly (i.e. take a break, not do anything strenuous, do some light exercise to alleviate muscle pain, go to sleep, go to the doctor etc.). Dear body, please let me take a break/go to sleep etc., we will feel better afterwards.

Both of these exercises might sound ridiculous to you. In that case, this post is not for you, or at least not right now.

But as someone who has gone through periods of chronic pain, I wanted to share this, because god knows, the relief of even getting your pain from a 7 to a 5 can be staggering sometimes.

#happy new year anon #fuck it if i crash my notes with this post then so be it #please don't follow me because of it though #it's mostly tennis skating tatort sherlock holmes taskmaster rpf [insert other obsessions] on here #if this only gets seen by a handful of mutuals i would probably selfishly prefer that #but feel free to reblog #pain #chronic pain #dealing with pain #pain management #important #the pain post #i will probably reread this every time i am in a bad way #note to self

[martyrbat]

tumblr is now showing if you're mutuals with someone even from a sideblog and the wave of actual horror i keep feeling at some of these....

#listen im still not over the mutuals i KNOW i have. matty misha broose north lee fj lauren evyn cj(s) juno etc etc #like theyre already all intimidating in my eyes and are too cool to be following me #but learning some of THE (other) sb artists on here follow me??? some (other) ppl who make such good meta posts??? poets and writers??? #my mutuals are already celebrities in ny eyes and brother i have a parasocial relationship with all of them but this is like learning their #famous friend is spying though my windows like.... hello.... when did you get here..... #sorry i hockey and hole spam..... please feel free to leave i prommy i will understand.....

[iguessitsjustme]

I can’t believe I have to say this but performatively tagging me and thanking me for participating in a fandom when you don’t follow me, don’t talk to me, and haven’t ever once interacted with any of my posts (not even in the fandom you thanked me for participating in) is a good way to get yourself blocked.

I make posts for myself, not to be thanked for participating. If you’re grateful that I made the posts, I’m glad! A lot of people have thanked me for many of my posts for many shows. I don’t have a problem with it. But feel free to tell me on the posts. Or don’t tell me and just like or reblog. But creating your own post, tagging me, and thanking me feels hollow when you haven’t done any of that on my posts.

I don’t mind being tagged in posts. I even like it! But please don’t just do it because you think you have to because I was one of the many many many blogs writing about a show and you’ve seen others tag me. Please tag me because you want me to see something. It feels like you’re tagging me to boost followers and if you knew anything about me, you’d know that I am not the person for that.

I don’t like blocking people, but this shit makes me so uncomfortable that I need to start blocking in order to remain on tumblr.

#rae irl #this is just so fucking weird to me #I can’t imagine going around and thanking people for participating in fandom the way people keep thanking me #I participate for me and no one else #if you’re worried that I might block you cause you tagged me in something lately don’t worry #if you haven’t been blocked then I’m most likely not going to block you but if you’re seriously concerned feel free to reach out #and if you’re thinking of tagging me but scared doing so will get you blocked again you can reach out #or if you’d rather just not tag me because you’re not sure that’s fine too I don’t need to be tagged #I do enjoy it most of the time but it’s never necessary #and I have plenty of mutuals who will #likely tag me if they see it and think I should be tagged #I think my rant is done #wait no there’s more #I don’t know what’s going on right now but if you want to build a following that’s fine you do you #but I cannot stress enough how much I do not want to be a part of that #people that actually follow me or know me or have talked to me at all know that’s not something I want #so please for the love of god leave me out of it

antiviral fandom so small the fact that recently my rambling text posts about it consistently get 3-4 notes gets me like WOW antiviral nation come through!!

#also if you like my antiviral posts & i dont follow you back just know i recognize your url and consider us mutuals in spirit #im just at my limit for blogs i can tolerate on my dasjboard its already too many thats the only reason why #so like if youve ever wanted to message me or send an ask about antiviral but felt like 'oh well were not mutuals' or whatever #PLEASE FEEL FREE TO lol #literally i am always so down to discuss this movie its been living in ny head sonce 2015 if you think i post a lot about it NOW. oh boy #texticles #antiviral

[vissla]

TikTok showing me literal nazi propaganda is one thing. the fact that it has 70 million views and has hundreds of thousands of people agreeing in the comments is another. it’s terrifying !! the fact that certain aspects of nazi ideology have been made out to be “woke” and are now being spread by leftists and liberals is literally terrifying.

#my posts #antisemitism #vent post #mutuals and followers please feel free to blacklist vent post so you don’t have to see me complain LMAO #why am I the only person who recognizes this as nazi prop??????

[three-headed-monster]

i just hope that everyone has friends on tumblr cause i love my friends

#seriously like #idk what i’d do without them #and i see all these blogs that seem like they don’t have friends and i just— #i hope you all have friends #if not i can be a friend! #just please don’t message me weird shit yeah? #like we can be friends #if you’re a small blog looking to gain followers and friends and mutuals feel free to reach out! #q speaks
