Oracle! Figured i could post a quick doodle page like I did with Spirit, then spent hours digitalizing it. Whoopsie! Oh well. His hat doesn't usually look that green, but the lighting was acting up kdkydkydm. Alt version with a blue hat underneath:

Not tagged but sounds fun so

My gender is a bit more about the HTML5

My gender is the only one

...Alr hand over ur gender autocorrect said it's my turn now /silly

And uahh tags-

@catfishofoldin99colours you were one of the first to show up so I tag you (idk if we actually are moots and don't remember how to check shhh) and anyone else who sees this is also tagged cuz yes

Type "my gender is" on your phone and let your phone finish the sentence, then tag your moots to keep the chain going, I'll go first.

My gender is a little bit more intense than I thought I could have done

The concept of a “real version” of internet content is so interesting to me.

irl museums feel special. Your “This is the real Starry Night” moment feels significant, certainly more significant than just googling the Starry Night and finding the first thing off Google. You already know what the Starry Night looks like before seeing it in the museum. But there’s a certain power to knowing this is the original. Van Gogh crafted *this* with his own hands and people have been admiring *this* for hundreds of years. It’s just special.

It’s the same kind of feeling with World Heritage tumblr posts. Comments like “This is a legendary post, I’ve only seen this in screenshots” are very common. It feels more real than just seeing it screenshotted or copied. It feels like a real piece of tumblr history. It’s wild to realize the original version of the post is still kicking around the internet in its original form.

But it’s not. It’s just a server sharing a copy of the original data and your screen rendering it for you. Same process as if you looked it up yourself. Nearly the same process as if you found a screenshot. It might not even be stored on the same physical server as the original upload, depending on how they’ve done maintenance over the years and how many backups they store. The version in front of you is no more real than the screenshots you’ve seen.

Except isn’t it??

“Those clothed in the leather of their fallen friends, for nothing went to waste amongst the Saxons”

I know this is meant to highlight the brutal conditions the Saxons lived under, but this could be a darkly beautiful facet of culture under the right lens.

Cultural values about the circle of life and the beauty of nothing going to waste. Funerals focused on how their soul now leaves Annwn for somewhere more peaceful, while their body returns to their community. Communities fed by cookware made of the bones of the elders that raised them.

Given the biker aesthetic HNOC hints at, leather jackets have a lot of potential as well. “She fell to the poison of the sun a few months back. Now she protects me from the elements with her very skin.” Leather jackets passed down across generations, providing a practical link to your ancestors and their loved ones. Rather than belonging being found in the biker gang patch on your back, it’s found in the people who loved you so much they left their very body to you.

It’s grim. There’s no getting around that. Life in Annwn is grim. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be beauty in their survival.

seven years ago I got on tumblr and the exposure to different perspectives gave me the space to go from center-right to proper-left politically. now my mom is doing the same thing on tiktok. we called yesterday and she apologized for a lot of the ways she messed up with raising me, and it’s clear she’s like center-left now instead of proper-right. cool that tiktok is fixing my relationship with my mom but is this just how social change happens now? from a bunch of teenagers making mildly funny short-form political commentary? that’s kinda terrifying

My #1 post of 2022

thinking about that post about how at work, “sick” is a category constructed as a temporary condition with the assumption that when not sick, you’re fully well and at maximum productivity. when i got covid people were very sympathetic. for three days. then they started getting frustrated that i wasn’t keeping up with all my work remotely. now i’m back but i seem to have lasting fatigue. why does “don’t worry about it, your health matters and you need your rest” only apply for three days? i’m literally doing nothing at home, just trying to recover before the next day of work. but because it’s a persistent condition, i’m just supposed to deal with it. it’s not even that they want me to push through, it’s this assumption that if you’re not sick, you’re basically well, so you ought to be performing. this weird idea that a condition can either be debilitating or persistent but not both. and this is less than two weeks after a disease that my workplace fully recognizes as serious. i can’t imagine having a chronic condition that takes some explaining. if someone implied i wasn’t trying just because i wasn’t up to “well” standards i think i’d throw hands
