This process of scrambling up the Great Chain of Energy is the foundation of what, following the tradition of evolutionary anthropologists since Naroll in the 1950s, I will call social development – basically, a group's ability to master its physical and intellectual environment to get things done.*

*Psychologists use the term "social development" very differently, to refer to children learning the norms of the societies they grow up in.

Kindness transcends physical environment

Doc says that there has been no further deterioration in Leah’s medical condition & some tests today show a slight improvement. Docs here have been in contact with her consultant in Bristol to get guidance from there also. This is the third hospital where Leah has been treated as an inpatient this past year. Every hospital is so different & each one excels in different ways. The ICU @ BCH is part…

On Writing & Physical Environment

One of the things I picked up during lockdown was watching tarot reading on Youtube. For me, who had just graduated, watching tarot readers was my source of solace in times when there were a lot of uncertainties in the world and time on my hand. It was nice to have someone with soothing voice telling you that things will be alright even with all the challenges you had to face along the way.

This habit of watching tarot reading from time to time continues until now (btw, my fav tarot reader is Kino Tarot for anyone wondering). I didn't watch as much as before but what I learned from watching those videos are how to put my feelings into words. Sometimes, you can't put a finger to what you're experiencing, and BOOM, the tarot reader skillfully put those into words. It wasn't always like this, but that's how I personally viewed tarot reading.

Disclaimer: Watching tarot reading doesn't mean you're hinging your life into some external forces or believing it can predict your future. I solemnly believe that the ability to move mountains lies within one's self.

Okay, enough with that introduction. So, a couple of weeks ago, I was doing my stuff while watching a pick-a-card tarot reading and through the group of card I chose, I was made aware how "physical environment" matters to my group.

I resonate a lot with that. I always told my close friends that I find certain places, easy to draw inspiration from. When I was an intern in Tangerang, I could write almost every day. Maybe it's because I joined a writing club back then that regularly publishes writing prompt, maybe it's because we always hang out at a cafe after work, maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the novelty of being in a new city, maybe, maybe, the lists goes on. There were a lot of things that I could factor in, but the peak of my writing phase so far had been that period of time. Only one month but it was etched in me and on the writings that I published.

I wish that my current job and environment could let me draw inspiration daily but alas, it wasn't the case. Just looking at the graphics, the time I write and write decreases drastically this past year. I was honestly sad, also frustrated for not doing anything about this. My vocabulary depleted and there were times I struggled finding the right diction for my writings.

I find writing to be my biggest source of comfort. If someone were to stop me from writing, I think I won't be able to stand it. I don't know when this has become a thing for me. Writing might not come easily to me lately but I think about writing a lot. Writing not in the context of jotting down minutes of meeting but for the sake of indulging in our own monologue literarily.

As if tarot reading wasn't enough, I find myself once again at awe on Victor Hugo's (author of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and Les Misérables) workplace. In Hugo's Hauteville House at Guernsey, there sits at top was his belvedere or glass room that looks upon the scenic view of his home surroundings. When I saw an article on this, I immediately think of "writing" and "environment", and it hits me, I need to write about this (thus, this article).

I am honestly a fan of sunlight (I can sleep with a glaring sun light, but I find sleeping with lamplight difficult), big windows and study room. To me, who fantasize about having her own personal study room prior to the house, finds Victor Hugo's Belvedere compelling. It wasn't how I would imagine my ideal study room but it does gives me ideas on building one in the future.

But I shall leave this to the future.

Now, a pressing matter to attend is how to evoke the best environment for one to write? Even though I am currently writing, I constantly finding myself falling in and out of focus. I was only able to finish this post because my sisters went outside and I had this desk for myself. At least enough for me to put one laptop and a mouse.

If we had to copy the writing environment in Tangerang, it wasn't exactly the space where I write in. Sure, I still prefer typing on laptop rather than writing on paper or phone. But I did all of that, in my bed or sometimes on the coffee shop table. A bed wasn't an ideal spot to work and coffee shop doesn't always conjure my writing spirit. So what is then?

The thing that came to my mind would be being in a novel space. Allowing myself to just write without hesitance. Tidy (which is soooo not where I am right now). Greens, since I mix well with the nature. And I guess, the time to indulge and let your mind wander in and out. This was not very much accessible to me right now. But I know it's not impossible to create this environment for myself. It just needs a lil bit of work. Whether it's moving away, cleaning up your desk, designating a writing time, or simply do novel things and read books.

I will write again in a better place.

- Reina

While there's much talk today of what we can do to help people with their mental health - and that's necessary - does it not seem like something should be done to identify & remedy the long-term causes of today's ballooning mental health crisis? Naturally speaking, a significant part of the problem is that society has been structured in a way that destroys individual worth. Yes, we hear a lot about it, but recent history, particularly here in England, is rife with powerful people abusing their responsibility & calling the shots to benefit themselves to the detriment of the general populace, as is our current world, with its soulless landscape carved by superhuman institutions run by the same people. On a supernatural level, I would also suggest a deeper cause in the loss of the sense of the transcendent reality of who we are, where we've come from, and where we're going. I find the supernatural answer in my Catholic Faith, and I point this out because from my Faith comes my interest in the traditional economics of Distributism, the traditional social model of Medieval Corporatism & Localism, and the more recently developed principles of Neo-Traditional Urbanism. Nearly two years ago, I went on a walk around Bristol taking photos & videos which I hoped to use to start turning my blog into a multimedia channel with a video & audio podcast, some of which were published at the time (there's a fun story to that, but you'll have to find it to read it), and now I'm using some more, because Queen's Square, reminiscent of the height of Bristol's global trading prowess, is a place whose beautiful design represents the best of human-centred happy places, but whose historical associations may not be that pleasant. But that's history, and when we learn to separate out the good to be preserved & developed from the bad to be consigned to the books, we learn to guide the course of human progress in the right direction so that it benefits more the everyday human. More to come... https://www.instagram.com/p/CoLJ4YZIFHT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#genshin impact #albedo #tighnari #I think they’d get along great actually #imagine tighnari being Concerned TM for Albedo bc most of Albedo’s survival knowledge is for the snowy mountains #but Albedo physically can’t really die because of homunculus shenanigans so he’s touched by the unnecessary concern #tighnari thinking albedo’s a practical dumbass but an intellectual marvel #but being glad nonetheless to find someone who shares his views on knowledge being a pursuit of passion #and generally enjoying the presence of someone who is skeptical of the Akademiya and also values hands on and free research environments #I enjoy them haha

sometimes i think about “this place wants us dead” and how it’s such an obvious example of foreshadowing, but it still ends up subverted in some way. like really think about it. the place doesn’t kill them, not really. they bring the diseases and the sickness with them. the lead is already in the cans before they leave. the food was already rotten. even tuunbaq is a man-made creature, not a bear like they originally think. it’s just. it’s not the place not really. the tragedy is that they were already doomed. they were doomed before stepping on their ships and they were doomed before they even reached the arctic and they were doomed before they even got stuck in the ice. she’s been dead since the beginning etc etc. i also think it’s so interesting that it’s also the remnants of colonialism that kills them. obviously james’ bullet wound is the obvious one but also the act of hubris in of itself. the fact that they think that they can last with their supplies. maybe the land does want them dead. maybe they were already dead. idk

#i don’t know how well communicated this is but i keep thinking about it #like the physical environment the place itself has little to do with them dying #it’s their own hubris and own mistakes that bring them to that point #tragedy tragedy tragedy #the terror #tig talks #francis crozier #james fitzjames #tuunbaq #lady silence #silna #the terror amc

hi friends!

I somehow magically landed 2 job interviews this week (literally both places called today) but only downside is both aren’t in my city!

if anyone is willing/able to purchase content or tip so I can secure gas money for these interviews I would be so extremely thankful😭🙏🏻

it’s not really a secret that I’ve been struggling financially with the hour cuts at my current job and I’m working so hard to get out of there (for my literal sanity) so anything in general is beyond helpful cause a bitch is drowning honestly.

much appreciated🥹

#like it’s at the point I’m applying in other cities cause I’m that desperate for a new environment and more pay #this place has been wearing me down both mentally and physically #I know it’s no one else’s issue and so much shit has been going down this year but truly until I can secure a job that is paying me more #I have my hands tied
