How can you tell if you recognize someone?
They look like someone you know. That's one of the main ways.
But no one recognizes the Metatron when he comes into the book shop -- only Saraqael and Crowley.
Neil replied to an ask about Maggie and Nina Madam Tracy and Shax being the same actor from season 1, "Why do you think they (Crowley and Aziraphale) would recognize people by how they look?"
In season 1, when the book shop burns, Crowley yells that he can't feel Aziraphale. Aziraphale looks around for Crowley quite often before he sees him or hears him.
I also suspect Crowley and Aziraphale did NOT do a 25 lazarii miracle, although I wonder who did, and why, if they didn't, and I also wonder at the running themes of togetherness and cooperation if they didn't, but that's for further rumination elsewhere.
Beelzebub says at the end of S2E6 "No wonder they couldn't find you. You put yourself, all your 'you' in here." So is that why none of the angels recognized Gabriel? Not because of the big miracle, which I suspect wasn't for that in the first place, but because he wasn't in there? But if so, then how did Crowley and Aziraphale recognize him by looking at him?
And why didn't anyone besides Saraqael and Crowley recognize the Metatron? (Neil said he thinks it's because they normally only see him as a floating head, not a little man in a raincoat. That "I think" has me suspicious. Neil has lied to us before and will again.) Is that not who that is? If it's not, who is it? And what are they doing there? Aziraphale didn't seem to trust the Metatron in season 1, so even if this isn't the Metatron, I don't think having the actual Metatron would be much better.
This needs a lot more thought before I have any answers, but this is one of the things I'm ruminating on today. Apparently, I don't get to pick what my brain wants to notice or when it wants to notice things. I've been trying to figure out Edinburgh for weeks now, but no. Recognition is where my brain wants to linger.

Experienced several previously undiscovered emotions today because my (conservative) mom said being gay is a choice because SHE likes women too but she simply chooses not to acknowledge it

“You shouldn’t self-ID as ADHD/autistic, you’re turning a very real mental condition into a trend” Ok then stop saying delulu. Stop speculating on which cluster C personality disorder the criminals you hear about on the news have. Stop saying “schizoposting” and “acoustic” and “is it restarted?” Stop using “psycopath” and “sociopath” as catch-all ways of calling someone a bad person. Stop saying “the intrusive thoughts won” when you bleach your hair and then turn your nose up at people who suffer from very real, very scary urges of physical/sexual violence. Stop saying “I’m so OCD” as a way of calling yourself neat. Stop treating BPD/ASPD/Bipolar as inherently abusive. Stop saying “OP I am living in your walls” without tagging for unreality. Stop diagnosing complete strangers you’ve never met on r/AITA with NPD.
You first. If you don’t want our disabilities to be treated like trends then stop belittling and minimising them. I’ll NEVER judge a person for trying find labels for their symptoms when an apathetic, racist, sexist, ableist healthcare system refuses to. But I will absolutely judge a hypocrite. Which a lot of you are

it's such a bummer that losing control of your emotions only makes the entire situation worse in really embarrassing personal ways. losing control of my emotions should give me pyrokinesis.

a man self immolated in front of the israeli embassy in washington dc yesterday. not just any man. an active member of the us air force. he live streamed his death, and said that he refused to be complicit in a genocide any longer. he said that compared to what palestinians were facing every day, setting himself alight was nothing.
let me reiterate. an active duty air force member burned himself alive because he was so disgusted by what the us government was openly supporting. he live-streamed his own suicide, so the whole world could bear witness as a man in his military uniform set himself on fire to protest his government’s complicity in the horrors that we have all been forced to watch happen in real time. he became a new horror. footage of the immolation blurs him out the moment the fire catches, but you can hear him. it is over in seconds, really, but you can hear him screaming. he shouts “free palestine” until his body physically cannot make any sounds other than guttural screams of agony. and then he falls silent. a police officer arrives and points a gun at his still burning body, shouting at him to get down on the ground. and it is over.
his name was Aaron Bushnell. he was twenty five years old. and he isn’t here anymore because the political ruling class has decided that genocide is perfectly fine as long as it preserves imperialism. in the coming days, people will try to discredit him. to say that he was mentally unstable. they will try to bury his actions to save face and defend israel’s propaganda. do not let them. aaron knew what he was doing. he knew what he was doing when he put on his military uniform, set up his twitch stream, and made his final walk up to the embassy. he knew what would happen to him when he flicked that lighter. do not let them forget. aaron’s blood is on the hands of the political ruling class.
