Hot 4am take but I feel like if we want to get people more interested in making their yards a more habitable space for wildlife like insects, we have to acknowledge that ‘Don’t want bugs in your house’ is still a 100% fair and valid point of view. ‘Loves nature’ and ‘doesn’t want roaches spiders and mosquitoes in the house’ aren’t opposites.
And with that in mind, when we propose to people that spraying pesticides around houses is Not A Good Idea, Actually, I feel like we need to give an alternative asides from ‘deal with it.’

as a certified Diagnosed Autist(TM) i cannot stress enough that i am not only pro- self-diagnosis, but also pretty anti- legal medical diagnosis. it is, at best, a cruel hoop we have to jump through so privileged people will deign to give us what we need. don't fucking do that shit unless you have to, it was disgustingly expensive, fucking humiliating, infantilizing, and dehumanizing, and would probably actively cause problems in my life if i didn't have some really good allistic (-passing) people in my corner and also wasn't so fucking disabled that it mostly doesn't matter.
literally get that diagnosis if you need it for job/school accessibility shit or SSI or whatever, and otherwise dont tell the government SHIT about yourself. there is zero good reason for them to want that information. that's between you and the people you want in your life.

we talk a lot about how current kids, teenagers, and parents never learned internet safety in this age of social media, but i think we also gotta be honest with ourselves that most of us, adults on the internet who participate in fandom, never really learned how to engage with young people without setting them up for disaster.
might be weird to say it like this, but it's important to leave people how you met them or better. like hiking or going to a nature reserve. if you are regularly talking to people on the internet, especially teenagers, you need to consider whether your behavior with them is how another, shittier person would take advantage of them, because you have no real way of protecting them if that happens. like if you're going into discords and saying 'hey i'm mom! let me help you with your homework and irl issues. also please feel free to vent to me if you have any mental health issues or problems at home" you have to understand that the next person who says that to them may be leaving out the end of their plan; "that would make you easier to abuse."
sometimes you have to say "you seem fun and have a lot of great ideas but you are also 15, so if you wanna talk fandom, here are the boundaries we're going to follow, because these are the boundaries other adults should be following with you." or just refuse to talk to kids.
you decide what your responsibility, is but what you can't do is build an illegal fire pit on the hiking trail, if you catch my drift.

I've been replaying moments from the Baxter DLC (for confession research purposes ehe) and there is this moment where Baxter wonders if his old friends from Golden Grove remember him and what would they think of him if they do... And that made me yearn for a moment in the ending of Our Life Now & Forever where he gets briefly mentioned or even appears for a second, just to let us know that he is doing well and he reconnected with Qiu and Ren or is working on rebuilding that friendship. I think that would be a really nice way to tie his arc together <3

Something that I really like about Spies Are Forever is talking about the staircase scene with other people.
What does Curt choice means for you? Does it make sense that he shoots? Does it work? Why? Do you think it ends well Curt arc? And what about part 7, do you watch it? Do you think he has moved on? Is it a satisfying ending for you?
And what about Owen. Why did he choose to create the spy surveillance network? Was he brainwashed? Did he hate Curt that much? What did he think when he fall as he was seeing Curt leave? What did his words truly mean at the staircase scene? Would he had been able to shoot Curt? What was his last thought?
And the good thing is that everyone has a different reading. People like spies are forever, but everyone finds an answer that works (or doesn't) for them. I think that's awesome, and that's what art's all about
