theo van gogh was the one who suggested that his older brother vincent start seriously painting. as soon as theo was gainfully employed he gave vincent around 15% of his own yearly salary for art supplies, lodging, and food. about 2/3rds of vincent's surviving letters were to theo (including vincent's earliest and last letters), all of which were found stored in theo's desk. theo's child, vincent willem, was born on january 31st, 1890, and vincent was so delighted by his nephew that he painted almond blossoms for him. vincent shot himself half a year later on july 29th, 1890. theo's distress at his brother's death worsened his syphilis symptoms and he died half a year after his brother on january 25th, 1891 (four days before vincent willem's first birthday). theo was reburied next to vincent in auvers-sur-oise at the request of theo's wife johanna.

I have a small son, and because I do not want to raise a sad beige baby but simultaneously do not want to have in-depth discourse about gender with every single person who stops to look in the stroller, I dress the baby mainly in traditionally masculine baby clothes. This means a lot of green and blue, a lot of vehicles and predator animals (esp dinosaurs??).
However, as a gift to our future selves, I am making it a point to take photos of him as well as the two of us together wearing traditionally feminine colors and prints - pink and purple, flowers and fruit and prey animals. So if someday it turns out I actually have a daughter, we will have photos to share that don't involve in-depth discourse about gender with every single person who sees them. (And plenty in plain solid colors, white and grey and green, so if I have a child who wants to have baby photos that don't involve dysphoria, I'll have those to give them.)
Idk. I definitely won't be able to do this forever, eventually he will have his own opinions about what he wears and gender and everything under the sun. But right now, I have a little baby, and I don't know who he's going to be someday. So I'm trying to keep his options open. Because I love him, or her, or them. Whoever you end up being, kid, I love you and I want you to be happy. Also you look so freaking cute in your onesie with the peaches on it. So, so cute.

it's okay, ulysses ogre. you can back up and try dubliners, it's a short story collection with much more straightforward prose, you can dive deep on one piece at a time, and once you've toyed around with that then I'm sure you'll have an easier time with ulysses. besides, I had an irish lit professor who'd been studying finnegans wake for twenty years and she said she still didn't really know what was going on in it. ulysses ogre, what really matters is if you are enjoying your time with literature and feel like you are gaining something, not whether you reach the "correct" conclusions. there's no need to try and force yourself through something if you feel like you aren't on an even enough plane with the text to reap any of its rewards.

i don't think the portal games are "about" "smart home bad" i think that is frankly a mind bogglingly fucking stupid take on what they're "about." there's a lot going on in Portal and i will admit it's been a number of years since I've played either games but just going off my memory of them both I would say that like. personally I think it's about the trauma of experiencing misogyny and the way that misogyny replicates itself by enlisting those most violently punished by it into enforcing its standards. and that the series culminates in the tormented and traumatized woman main character (because lbfr GLaDOS is the main character) allows herself to accept that she was maltreated and, in return, refuses and repudiates the task that Gender has set out for her, freeing the player character, who is a racialized woman who was at the complete mercy of the main character, and urging her to see a future beyond the violence that they've both been subject to at the hands of chauvinist and idiotic men.

…psychiatry assumes that society does not cause distress in biologically normal people, who are considered biologically normal at least in part because they are economically productive. This assumption permits the conclusion that if a person is distressed to the point of unproductivity, it is because that person—not society—is abnormal. Thus, psychiatry’s commitment to biological essentialism not only masks the role of the constructed sociopolitical environment in creating distress but depoliticizes it by characterizing that allegedly irrational distress as induced by biological abnormality.
– Kiera Lyons, “The Neurodiversity Paradigm and Abolition of Psychiatric Incarceration” (2023)
