A new sculpture! Finally... I feel like I never sculpt anymore since I'm always sick or have some 500 other things going on or projects to finish, but I'm trying to schedule time to do it more often this year hopefully..! Just a generic fantasy creature as usual, but did try making the eyes a little more sparkly this time.. hrmm..

The sick feeling you get in your stomach as an undiagnosed/closeted autistic hearing friends/loved ones make fun of or talk about "what's wrong with" the openly autistic people you know

Feeling confident over todays exam in Health n diseases :)

I don’t know much about like, APCs, how our immune system works, the enzymes/things that it releases n all that technical technical stuff which has been my main issue in this class. But I am however very confident in my ability to recognize and identify the disease scenarios we were given

So I’m hoping this exam n the quiz grades make up for the last 3 exams and then hopefully I’ll pass all my classes n graduate college ¥^¥

Smthn smthn butchered tongue making me bawl my eyes out even tho my ancestral languages weren't taken from me by force. Like. It is explicitly a song about the cultural violence of colonialism.

My experiences do not compare to that! And I still grieve! I still grieve the cultural connections and comforting tongue I lost! I grieve that in trying to better their situation amongst desperate post war poverty my grandparents and great grandparents immigrated, and the predominance of English, the necessity of it, the issues of my mother going to school not speaking any English, meant that by the time I came around the comforting dialects are only spoken between the older generations, save for a few slang words and highly specific food terms. I grieve that I can't roll my rs properly, and the Italian double consonants still trip up my tongue. I grieve that vague hazy childhood memories of my Nonna's house mean that the most comforting of accents, the most comforting tongue, is one I do not know, and can never master organically. I can study all I want but it'll never be natural. I can muddle my way through the basics, my Canadian accent grating the edges of the language, but it's not the same! It'll never be the comforting lilt of being a young child and having all the extended elderly family laughing and arguing around the table.

Obvs I am not the only generational-diaspora-immigrant kid to feel this way. I'm at the odd spot of not having been the immigrant myself, but having the people who raised me not be assimilated enough for me to really feel at home in the new culture either. I'm not far enough away, generationally, to not feel the separation. There is a persistent sense of loss for something I can only grasp the vaguely edges of.

And obvs this isn't the same as forced diasporas, of refugees, of colonial supression of native tongues. But there's still a grief there, even as I feel guilty for grieving it - I benefitted greatly, materially, from this linguistic loss. And yet! And yet!

Fuck guys I made a Pikmin OC. Some sort of like eldritch monster creature thing who looked at the Rescue Corps and was like "Man what are they doing that looks fun I wanna join." And cannot blend in properly. However the creature notices that everybody likes Olimar for some reason and is like "hm if mortals like Olimar then maybe.. if I become Olimar the mortals will like me too!"

I know it's wrong and bad to say this, but sometimes I really hate when my friends have other friends. (specifically when I can't also be friends with those friends) because every time I want someone to hang out with or talk to, the only couple friends I have are always busy with their other friends. when I want to plan something with them, they will always choose the other friends over me. they will cancel plans *with* me as soon as other friends ask, but won't cancel plans *for* me when i ask. they will use up their social spoons on other friends and leave none for me. always putting things with me off or simply not responding at all.

i'm always told by random people when I say I want mkre friends "it's better to have a couple great friends than many aquantances" or something like that. but honestly it sucks because you can't rely on 1-2 people to always be there for you every day or every week when you want or need someone. if you keep asking, you're seen as annoying and clingy and they will ignore you eventually (or worse)

it's annoying that they get to fill their social needs at all times, but I never get to. because i'm never the one that gets to go first in the social queue. and when it gets to my turn, it refreshes and i'm pushed to the back again.

the only solution I can ever think of is being friends with my friends' friends too....but for some reason!!!!!! that never works out!!!! (if my friends will even share their friends with me to begin with)

yknow, ghost hunger is one of those au's that kinda just sounds like an excuse for ridiculous angst (or ridiculous silliness) (vore jokes, ranch 2)

but thinking about it more it kinda might answer some questions

like, obviously the infinite realms are. well, infinite, but considering the unknowable number of beings that die, beings that form from ectoplasm, the implications of box lunch, and potential connections to other worlds and even universes entirely and all of their dead things....

well, that would be an awful lot of ghosts, is what I'm getting at

and we can hardly expect old age or illness to curb the population of ghosts

it would also give a reasonable excuse for every ghosts apparently instinctual aggression towards one another beyond like. territory disputes/power plays or whatever

the more civilized ghosts would curb their instincts around other civilized ghosts, sticking to hunting the less sentient and intelligent ectoplasm constructs or animal ghosts, much like how the living hunt for meat

...then there are, of course, the less civilized ghosts

one thing i know about even is that any kind of ‘ignore-this-thing’ defense just. doesn’t work on them. any kind of technological or psychic barrier meant to convince your brain there’s nothing there, it just fails. things like that tend to come with the assumption that they can make you fill in the missing pieces with whatever you expect to be there. sometimes, what Even expects isn’t quite Right, enough so that it puts them off, makes them aware of there being something else hiding there. but other times, they don’t see anything but what’s actually there.

man i miss hanging out on the dash.

Crispin: I'm going to assume it's probably best to not ask questions. Julia: Sometimes I worry about your lack of curiosity, O'Callner. Questions are very important for investigations.

Julia asked if she could bring a friend of hers along to supper. They were in a spot of trouble, she told Crispin, but still needed to socialize.

She apparently did not see anything else worth mentioning about her friend.

Meanwhile, Crispin, who has known her for a while now, is wondering why he's surprised.
