Artist me fighting the inner thoughts of ‘ It looks good but it doesn’t make sense but it looks good but it doesn’t make sense’

Okay I kept at it and I kinda think I like it??

Ohhhhh, I love how you did his eyes!

And yes. Ough. Bloody elf.

Snail mode is my go to when I'm overwhelmed. 😅 I'm basically a lump in the middle of my bed hidden under all the blankets.

Autistic Lives: Not Less Valuable — THINKING PERSON'S GUIDE TO AUTISM Our society needs to more honest about parenting realities, & how to accept, support, and respect children with autism and other disabilities.

CN: Murder

Today is the Disability Day of Mourning, where we hold vigils for disabled people killed by their caregivers. George Hodgins—whose murder inspired Zoe Gross to hold the first DDOM—went to my son's school. My feelings remain raw 14 years later. -SR

I would like to register a complaint.

Why is my coffee always gone?

(Me. I'm the reason. And I allow myself one cup a day. 😭😅)

A tiny piece of bliss. I'm so glad you got to experience it. ❤️🫂

All 7 of them. 😅 (I utterly refuse to admit s8 exists.)

It bloody sucks 😅.

Sorry you've been there too. 🫂

*curls into a snail under my covers in bed*.

Hopefully I can find some excellent things to read while I'm healing. It takes me a long time.

I've got one series that I know will be good. (And I'll tear through those books in a week or less 😅.)

Oh I bet the woods were beautiful to be in! ❤️

before, probably will again, the answer is love. In almost every faith, the answer is love.

Love yourself enough to care for yourself so you can fight and care for others.

Whoever you are. Wherever you are. Please take care of you. You're irreplaceable.

it's quite apropos at the moment.

'In this changing world, we must draw together or fall together.'

Humanity hasn't survived this long through bullshit individualistic nonsense. We've survived by caring for each other. We have plenty of archaeological evidence to back that up.

I've said it

Because people get wise.

We get wise to their bullshit.
We get wise in caring for ourselves and others.
We get wise and build community (remember to include disabled and ND folks in those, please and thanks).

It's a balancing act, my loves. And we *CAN* do it.

I wrote this line in my fic, but

cowardly.

The human brain never evolved to watch all this horror without breaking. Please care for yourself so you can care for others. So you can fight.

They WANT us exhausted, confused, and overwhelmed. It's a well known fascist technique to attempt control.

Never works in the long run.

Cuddle with a loved one
Call a friend
Create a thing
Read a book
Play a game

Yes. We managed to hit the worst timeline, lucky us. And we *can* fix it.

We need to care for ourselves and others as best we can.

That starts with loving ourselves enough to look away.

And fuck, yes, I know it feels

from a broken cup any more than you can an empty one.

Fighting against fascism is a long battle, not a race. Taking a bit away to recharge is *necessary*.

Drink a cup of tea while looking at something pleasant.
Play with your pets if you have them, (they feel your stress too & don't understand)

you're not helping anyone by damaging yourself by watching it happen.

And goddess, this world needs all the help it can get. Be informed, and do your best not to damage yourself in the process.

This isn't burying your head. It's being aware that you, like every human, have limits. You can't pour

As someone with several different clusters that caused my PTSD? Listen to this advice, please.

If you don't already have PTSD/CPTSD, please take my word for it that You. Do. Not. Want. It.

Yes. I know. I really do. You feel like you have to watch.

Being aware is enough. Watching will damage you

I actually don't like being left alone to heal. I feel unwanted. Trauma scars are fuuuuun.

Being without dental care for 10 years made a mess and I'm basically an angry, spiky ball of impending terror/doom right now.

So likely won't do bsky for a bit.

Not sure how much I'll be around for a bit.

I have to finish my (extremely stressful) appeal this weekend & monday have a 'potentially extremely complicated' tooth extraction.

And I'm 'severely' phobic about dentistry. People can find me on discord or email if you want to check on me.

GoT is only one series of books as far as I'm aware.

Though, yes, it's a problem. I'm not on the 'adaptations must be exact' boat.

Be nice if they'd capture the spirit though.

So, here's the article I have out as of today and it's #OpenAccess. It deals with one of the earliest Christian Arabic scribal workshops in the Sinai monastery, where many of the mss produced there have been preserved to this day. In this 🧵 I do a quick rundown of the most important findings. 1/n

Yeah. 'Cause it sells. (In theory XD.) I wish they'd done more of what's in the book if there's a lot. It would've made the movie so much better.

I have the *strongest* feeling someone needs to read this right now.

Don't do it.

I know. I KNOW. I do. But don't. There's a lot of beauty past that moment of choice. I'm glad I stayed.

Shit sucks. I KNOW. And you are NOT a burden. They are NOT better off without you.

Listen to this instead.
