#tourists are fucking weird
Note
it is healing to come onto this blog and see basic respect for diasbility after being in other corners of the fandom and reading the words “snowkit could never be a warrior because he wouldnt know what anything is. he wouldnt even know what a clan is because nobody could explain it to him” said in full seriousness
Im..... That statement is so ableist I cannot even imagine the worldview you'd need to have in order to come up with that.
They really think the only way anyone learns anything is through verbal-speaking-words-noises? No one has ever observed something before? Not even once?
This is beyond touching grass, this person just fell out of the fucking Jurassic Period when all they had was ferns and stegosaurs.
I just...
OH YES. I remember my first day of Society Lessons as a hearing person, where the everything was explained to me. Via Audiobook. FIRST they spoke and said, "you are standing on the ground." It was a life changing revelation, and the world began to spin.
But it did not stop.
THEN they said, "there are fingers on your hands." The sensation of flesh and bone crackling into existence is indescribable, but I did not yet know pain, until they told me, "that hurts." I began screaming immediately.
And yet... it continued.
They explained so much. Chairs. Tables. Walls. The sky. Frogs. Ionizing radiation. Breathing. I was told all of it, in one sitting, and only then did I understand. Only when my ears were bursting with normal hearing knowledges, did they begin... my final test.
A strange wall-chair-finger emerged from the sky-of-the-wall, stood on the ground several times, until it was in front of me. A second one came behind it, this one slimmer. The audiobook gave these things names;
Human. Father. Mother. Door. Walking. It was completely impossible to know what these things were until that very moment.
I watch a human dip a hook into water and produce a fish, and I recall my Society Lessons where they called that "fishing." I am decked in the face by a nefarious hooligan, and I have only the audiobook to thank when I know I have been "punched" by a "bad guy." It was only the magic of verbal-speaking-words-noise that made me understand that there are "other people" and that they "do stuff."
Sometimes, even, in "groups."
Before the Society Lessons Audiobook, I knew nothing. I was pure, innocent, uncorrupted by concepts such as "parents" and "door." I am grateful every day that there is no such concept as "being shown things" or "simple logical reasoning" or "looking."
Blessed be those amongst us who escape the horrors of the Society Lessons Audiobook. I pray that you never learn what anything is. Be free! Free as a bird, which also knows nothing and famously cannot learn. 🤗
DEAF/HOH FOLLOWERS I'm losing my mind do you want me to bump a 'Hearing Disabilities Herb Guide' to the top of my priorities? Something you can use to bludgeon whackadoodles like that. This is ridiculous
Obviously not a MEDICINE guide but like; common causes of hearing disability in clan cats. Accommodations for hearing loss vs congenital deafness. Actual difficulties of not having that sense Clan-by-Clan. Debunking of misconceptions like... not being able to learn APPARENTLY.
#bone babble#Fennelposting#Obviously the answer is 'theyre incapable of THINKING' but like... they do know snow has a line right#In the book. He figured out. A word. Through observation.#He says 's'all right' because he knows it calms ppl down#He did not need to hear the magic words 'You can make noises at others to influence them'#Like a fucking tutorial tip#Im going to start keeping a JOURNAL of ''times people have been weird about snowkit specifically''#Ableism#cw ableism#I could also link to the pawspeak thing so it's all in one place#I wrote this last night and put it in the queue and I laid awake thinking of this...#What do they think happens when someone goes to another country where things aren't written/spoken in a language they know?#Do they think they wouldn't be able to figure out anything? Do they think the tourist would just perish#Would they collapse in the streets of Berlin sobbing?#Happened to me. Went to England and they called it a Car Boot Sale instead of a Flea Market and I died to death#AND if I did make that guide please tell me if there's any other weird misconceptions you need to see in it#I know that ONE of them is going to have to be that. like. deaf people make noise.#theyre actually quite loud because they don't know they're making noise#and people with hearing loss do not suddenly forget how to speak.#and people born deaf dont talk like cavemen#cw body horror#tw body horror#EDIT: OOPS sorry I have such an astonishingly tolerance for body horror I did not realize that counted as body horror

for everytime swaggy uses we are the champions in any post i think we need to shoot him with a paintball gun in the back
#txt#going through his ig stories and getting jumpscared#GIRL PUT A CONTENT WARNING#WARN A GUY#also they ate at carbone at south pointe and im like wait but they went golfing-#*immediately gets reminded of the huge stupid ass fucking golf course that takes up half that dumb manmade pennisula of a city*#i feel so much hatred towards that thing i erase from my mind for my own health#also i did go wow the amount of traffic they had to wade through just to 1. get there and 2. get out#ive been corrupted by soflo the first thing i think about is not the enjoyment but the traffic#if you want to know the relation of carbone to catch (the seafood place the team ate at before they went clubbing) its a block away#they like dining in south point lol#from what i remember ages ago south pointe was more of a quaint residential area that tourists avoided because anything past 5th street#wasnt worth looking at so a lot of residents spent more time on that side of the city than the north if they wanted to chill at the park#that also connects to the beach with a cool pier like it was always regarded more of a hidden gem than anything else#that families spent time in on weekends playing soccer or picnicing or drinking mate like i know yearly easter egg hunts were held there#i say that but there WERE more expensive restaurants in the area before (joes stone crab which has been there for ages)#i just suppose now a lot MORE have opened up since then and kinda transformed the area into a bougier place#as if there isnt a cheap sandwich shop like a block away too lmao#yeah the development of “expensive food restaurants” in quiet residential areas is weird! and that city is filled with it!#i could go on about how hispanic refudgees viewed mb since the 60s to the 00s versus how tourists view it now but oop! thats an essay!

so things are not going well with my new elderly socdem friend unfortunately.
#she said this RIGHT after talking about how bad yt misinfo is... which she followed up w SO I WAS WATCHING A YT DOC ABOUT WW2 & LEARNED THIS#youtube 'historians' are literally the most fascist breed of youtuber. avoid the vast majority like the plague lmao#i asked if the video was sourcing the hollow dahmer & the black book of communism & she didnt seem to know what those are lol#to her credit i told her straight up that she was incorrect & she at least faked being curious about doing more research but i am doubting#she also 'learned' that lenin killed trotsky lol get your propaganda right lenin was dead by then STALIN icepicked him <3#anyway im making jokes bc the worst part was a different conversation where she spoke positively of israel#THAT'S gonna be the one to ruin our friendship. fuck you & your war tourist friend who fought in the 1960s landgrabs that youre now#telling me as if this is a cute story. nahhhh lmao i looked her straight in the eye & said i will NOT debate this#so she dropped it like the true enlightened centrist most socdem cowards are and i kept cleaning her house quietly#turns out You & Me We're the Only Ones Around Here Who Aren't Complete Fools was premature *kicks the poorly rendered gravel sadly*#shes otherwise a nice lady & i know i need to be more flexible in order to hopefully change ppls minds...#but also when people say awful & untrue things it makes me not want to talk to you 🤷♂️ srry 2 b a freak like that#also i know shes not transphobic but i havent sniffed her out well enough to know if shes safe to come out to#so its hours of misgendering (which isnt her fault she doesnt know) bc shes obsessed with neoliberal feminism and inappropriately brings#gender into conversations that it does not belong in#'did you know all the countries that handled covid best were ran by women?' 1) untrue 2) dont care finland still sucks#she also tried to tell me that european rich people learned to be nicer after the french rev & thats why europe is better than america...#girl shut up we learned how to be so good at racism and capitalism BECAUSE of europe. there is no such thing as a good rich person!!!#i pick my battles (genocide & anticommunist genocide revisionism) so i let her cook w that one & was not left convinced as you can imagine#ANYWAY rant about today's weird day done. gonna smoke weed & rim some skies 🥵 while listening to the Khrushchev Lied audiobook i found 😘

Every time someone says “some historians and anthropologists believe (x) culture may have once been a matriarchy” and by matriarchy they mean women were just Kind Of Important. If men aren’t oppressed I don’t wanna hear it
#this is tongue in cheek but. really no culture where there were a lot of women in charge has ever been anything besides egalitarian#and even then certain duties; like childrearing; still fall heavier on women#and men tend to have a lot of freedoms in those cultures; while still being respected as a laborer and part of the community#and this isn’t even getting into how matrilineal/egalitarian societies are literally fetishized for just not. treating women like shit#they get treated like an intriguing sexy anomaly and everyone wants to exploit it for entertainment#and then their communities get turned into tourist traps#it’s evil. ppl are so titillated by the idea of women being in charge and they project all these weird fucking fantasies about it#and that ofc is happening in conjunction w these communities also being racial/ethnic minorities#often in the global south#just. lots of thoughts and feelings about that.

WHY are there still days where it’s in the 80s in tHE MIDDLE OF OCTOBERR
#............climent charnge............... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr#it is supposed to FINALLY get like.. a little cooler later this week BUT that's happened before#like a few days of 60-70F weather then right back to 80s#the cooler weather now is projected to start friday. wwhich is october 21st!!!!!!!#thats like over half of the entire month that was spent in the high 70s mid/low 80s still like......HEWWo#It does get cooler at night now at least. like at 1am it's more like 50F instead of only getting down to 68 or something#but... like even in the PEAK afternoon sun hours I just feel like it should never be 85F in mid october#It also hasn't rained in probably 4+ months lol#there was a time like 2 weeks ago that it rained for maybe a few hours lightly. and then I think 3 weeks before that it rained for maybe an#hour. but still weirdly rare#I was promised a cool moderate rainy climate when I first moved here by people I was talking to who had lived here a while#i wonder if they even sell those '~~ oo it's so rainy in oregon~~' type tourist merch anymore or if they've removed it from#all the stores. I used to see a lot of like shirts or mugs that said stuff like that maybe 10 years ago but now all#the merch is probably just like 'dont fucking come here please i beg you dont fucking come here we dont even have a dunkin#donuts and it gets to like 105F+ in the summer now fuck off take this mug and fucking run'#''it doesnt rain here anymore than it does in plenty of other places we are not an outlier also fires are getting worse and we're#uncomfortably close to like fault lines or some shit if you dont get out in 2 years were all going to die in an earth quake#white hipsters with dreads handing you weird pamphlets on public transportation are the least of your worries turn back NOW'#'if youre not a hiking loving SUV having middle class liberal with 5 dogs who loves driving like 2 hours to the plain looking#beach like 10 times a month for no fucking reason and socializes exclusively through late dinner meetings at gentrified hipster foodie bars#with weird gimmics and subpar food then fuck off. take your tourist shirt and get out. youre better off whetever you are now.'#*whereever#ANYWAY..#We better randomly have a fluke winter where it snows like 5 feet + or something or else I'm going to go crazey hhh#something must compensate for the endless summer.. the people need retribution. if the winter sucks at least give every household#like $5000 and free installation of actual central heating and air system as a thanks for staying here lol.

With me having to work tomorrow and having to get up at the ass crack of dawn, i have this weird urge to stop by the beach on my way home just to put my feet in the water.
Like. It's right there.
I could.
...But how many tourists are there tomorrow?
...And will I even be able to park?
...I really wish that my granddad's beach house wasn't sold and I could park there and walk a half mile to do this. I would. I really would.
#taks speaks#my toe nails are super irritated bc i cut one ever so slightly too short#and every time i do that it's always like 'ohh right. cool. gonna be ingrown now'#and let me tell you how fucking soothing it is to walk in the water at the beach with irritated toes#it feels so nice and it usually stops hurting for at least a few days#something about that salt water. i don't get it but i'm not complaining about the weird healing abilities here#i know of like four beach entrances. and two are on the way home.#but until about 6pm. one of them is paid and i'd have to literally drive on the sand#and i don't have 4wd so no. not getting stuck.#and then the other is tourist hell#BUT it's a little more disappointing lately after the replenishing they did which made the pier literally not even reach the water#(then the tropical storm hit. but even then it's sad.)#i don't think that deters the tourists but it sure does the locals#mmmm ocean water tho....#i need to go to walmart anyways for epsom salt. i just finished it off and i gotta soak my feet daily if i don't want them hurting too bad#...but ocean water...

if you’re visiting nyc as a tourist I’m going to show up to your house and make sure you take a crowded-sidewalk-etiquette class bc I swear to god it takes me 30 seconds of waking to my job in Manhattan before I want to start shoving people out of my way
#like please.#it’s fine to take pictures !! no one care about that!!#it annoys people when you stop smack in the middle of the busy side walk to do it#and it takes a second for tourists yo notice but THERE ARE lanes of walking traffic#if everyone is walking in one direction on one side and the opposite on the other#follow that fucking lead no one wants to walk face first into you bc you popped in out of no where going the opposite do#direction*#the one sounds kinda weird but you’ll see it#it’s like a path of least resistance

wanting to make the main town my characters live in be a city in the desert that's like. completely isolated. but still has modern amenities and running water and shit has led to my newest innovation: Las Vegas 2
#honestly it's flawless#bc who the fuck in vegas cares about literally any weird shit#a tourist with a gambling addiction wouldn't look up from their slot machine for long enough to watch a nuke landing next to them#so they're certainly not gonna look up long enough to unravel a conspiracy

i thought writing up the stupidly realistic dream i had would make me feel better abt it not being real. it both did and didn't and I've been telling myself to get my laptop open and start getting some shit done but. i keep thinking abt it. this stupid fuckin dream lmao
#text post#i was a brand new third for a swinging couple that offered to pay for a weekend trip to a nearby tourist town#while watching a taika movie that doesn't exist but should despite my dream not revealing anything abt it#except that it involved ice skating and had a cameo at the end where he skated#genuinely had one of those moments waking up where u think ur gonna wake up in the place the dream left u aksndkfngn#there was. so much more in terms of weird but funny/interesting detail in it but part of writing it up and posting to the vent blog#was to spare y'all having to read that so im stopping myself here and getting out my fucking laptop to do some surveys#and im not gonna think abt how this stupid guy spooned me and held me and wanted nothing more from me#then v few strings attached sex and hanging out while his wife was swinging with other ppl in town at the time (seemingly planned event??)#quite literally was living the dream in that dream lmaoooo

Just remembered when I was watching my brother play Forspoken (I'd already beaten it), and he got to the part where Cinta goes after Sus outside Visoria Castle. Bro was like "if Frey's 21 years old and Cinta went to New York, and Cinta can turn into a dragon... did Cinta do 9/11? What if she fucked one of the firefighters and that's Frey's dad?"
I do legit headcanon that Frey's dad was one of the first responders to 9/11. Cinta called him "a hero in every sense," and I can't think of anyone more heroic than the firefighters and paramedics who showed up at ground zero.
But I will never not laugh whenever "what if Cinta did 9/11" pops back into my brain XD
#Forspoken#Forspoken spoilers#bobbi's being weird again#sad aspect of that headcanon: he died in the rescue attempts and couldn't be like ''yo that's my daughter I call dibs'' and raise her )':#... I wanna know how that courtship went tho#how did they meet? did Cinta tell him everything or was she pretending to be like a tourist or what?#if she did tell him anything was he like ''okay she's fucking crazy talking about magic portals and shit. ...still hot tho''#like how did that WORK#somebody who doesn't have 50+ WIPs for this fandom already write that plz#*makes a WIP folder anyway*
