#The Way of Integrity

[dk-thrive]

Knowing that you don’t know everything doesn’t turn you into a drooling ignoramus. On the contrary, it liberates your vastly intelligent true nature to see reality as it is, not as your culture taught you to see it.

— Martha Beck, "The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self" (The Open Field, April 13, 2021) (via Alive on All Channels)

Replacing physical buttons and controls with touchscreens also means removing accessibility features. Physical buttons can be textured or have Braille and can be located by touch and don't need to be pressed with a bare finger. Touchscreens usually require precise taps and hand-eye coordination for the same task.

Many point-of-sale machines now are essentially just a smartphone with a card reader attached and the interface. The control layout can change at a moment's notice and there are no physical boundaries between buttons. With a keypad-style machine, the buttons are always in the same place and can be located by touch, especially since the middle button has a raised ridge on it.

Buttons can also be located by touch without activating them, which enables a "locate then press" style of interaction which is not possible on touchscreens, where even light touches will register as presses and the buttons must be located visually rather than by touch.

When elevator or door controls are replaced by touch screens, will existing accessibility features be preserved, or will some people no longer be able to use those controls?

Who is allowed to control the physical world, and who is making that decision?

the way the theme of home and tommy being buck’s home has been following them since season seven with “come home and be with your man”…..his loft becoming more lived-in when he was with tommy….the closest he came to finding a sense of “home” after moving out of the loft was after a night spent with tommy….how they have yet to find their way back to each other and buck still has yet to find home…..

Part 2: Therapy. (Part 1 here)

Spending many months in therapy, Hunter has a series of breakthroughs over time: such as being able to face his worst memories without being overwhelmed, coping with crazy levels of survivor's guilt, and asserting a newfound sense of autonomy whenever his inner critic - in the forms of either monster!Belos or possessed Hunter - threatens to overpower him with shame.

One notable breakthrough would have processing the grief over the deaths of the past grimwalkers and what he thought was Belos's love for him. That grief would never entirely go away, but therapy would've helped him integrate it, release a significant fraction of Belos's hold over him (represented here by Hunter finding a small carving knife to cut the blue string, then letting the ocean current take the Golden Guard mask away).

My h/c is that the only way he can even be open to the possibility of carving his own new palisman, making room in his heart for Waffles after what happened to Flapjack, is by reaching this particular breakthrough.

I'll probably reblog this repeatedly over time and add trivia and notes since these ideas definitely have parallels to scenes in the show.

Anyway, that's it for my rambling for this year's Watching and Dreaming anniversary!

Liberals of all sorts will confidently talk about what "indigenous peoples"* want in a way that makes it clear they've never studied a single anti-colonial movement in their lives. Like they can't conceptualise that the societies deemed "indigenous" are (by necessity of still existing) every bit as alive and part of the 21st century as any other people, instead preferring to think of them as nothing more than static museum exhibitions with any deviation from this being a lack of "authenticity". Nor do they imagine that resistance to colonising powers stems from the vicious destruction and exploitation these societies are invariably subjected to (by necessity of being classified as "indigenous"); rather they see it as a matter of idealistic preference for a "natural" and "primitive" life that leads them to resist the inevitable "march of civilisation" for its own sake

These sorts of foolish ideas are widespread, but groups will express them in more explicit terms than usual. Like Anti-Civs are really nothing more than the typical Liberal idea of the "Noble Savage" taken to a logical conclusion; if such people are so Noble then maybe we should aspire to Savagery. It's ultimately incredibly reactionary, whatever its adherents claim; a true progressive would reject the chauvinistic framing of "Civilisation vs Savagery" altogether

*nearly always as some sort of homogenous group, lacking meaningful variation both between societies and within them

god i love ford theraprism stuff. whether its him visiting bill or in couples therapy or there as a patient. theres something so delicious about bill and ford both being defanged and made to interact in a controlled environment. no they dont get healthier no they dont heal their trauma yes theyre both still violent, angry, control freaks.

but they're in a position where they have to communicate because they lack the resources/contexts necessary for them to have their intricate rituals.

them in group therapy fighting but the group lead doesnt break it up because this is the most either of them have ever shared while inpatient. bill saying something that makes ford snort and he latches on and digs in just trying to get ford to laugh. ford and bill exchanging snarky judgmental comments about staff and other patients. them sitting in the corner of the common room talking in code and double speak and inside jokes and references in order to figure out how to get out of here. bill thinks its all so romantic and that he and ford are going to run off together once they get out. ford trying to convince himself that he wont.

how easily they slot back into their dynamic and how bill salivates over ford in his "bad guy" role. ford on his high horse and justifying his actions and thoughts and always painting himself in the right, as the hero, for the greater good and bill has never been more in love.

the therapists realizing too late that putting bill and ford together may have helped them both make progress at first, but now theyre both regressing, readopting unhelpful and unhealthy behavioral and communication patterns, breathing life back into their codependency. their souls are hopelessly tangled and all this has done is made it worse. but now if they try to separate them itll be too dangerous for everyone in the facility. they just have to keep working at it until something gives. even the other patients know bill and ford together are a ticking time bomb.
