That Feeling When Both Halves Of Your Inner Monologue Are Perfectly Cast

None of us is alone. I'm still here. We're still here. In spite of all of this, we're still not going back, only forward. I love you with my whole heart, family.

US residents: now is a good time to renew your passport. Maybe you don't think you would ever choose to leave, but having the option is better than not having it.

[“When we are able to access our “body memories” through the felt sense, then we can begin to discharge the instinctive survival energy that we did not have a chance to use at the time of an event. Regardless of what your particular situation is, you can learn to discharge and transform this energy. The discharge can be dramatic and visible, or subtle and quiet. It can be an intense shivering or the slightest sense of inner trembling; or it may be a changing of temperature between hot and cold, between warmth and coolness. Afterwards, you might notice that things fall into place a little easier, or that you’re calmer and more relaxed. Perhaps things that once upset you won’t seem to bother you as much, and you are significantly less critical of yourself. Or, you might experience a subtle deepening of your sense of well-being. It’s also entirely possible that the change may be more profound. Chronic pain may disappear. You might be able to do things that you’ve never before attempted. Your relationships with loved ones and others might become freer and easier. You might experience a surge in your feelings of passion and personal power. When trauma is healed, shift happens.”]

10 Things for 10 People You’d Like to Know Better!

Tagged by @groovebunker <3

• last song: Origami by Totemo

• last book: I just finished Conflict is Not Abuse, by Sarah Schulman, and I really liked it. It gave me a lot to think about.

• last movie: Gosh, I really can't remember. I think it may have been The Breaker Upperers, which I liked very much. It was a while ago.

• last TV show: Severance. I'm on S1E1, no spoilers pls :-*

• favourite colour: It's all about context, for me -- the same color in one setting can be flat and boring, or grating, and in another setting can look so alive and lovely. I love that gorgeous dark cerulean that the other half of the sky turns, when the sun is setting on a clear night. Or I love neon red things on a bright overcast day; I love how they glow.

• sweet/savory/spicy: Savory. Give me all the mushrooms and seaweeds and seeds and nuts.

• relationship status: 100% single right now, and really into that.

• last thing I googled: Boston Public library reading room, on image search.

• current obsession: My country is struggling and I'm trying to figure out what else I could be doing to slow down the coup, take care of my people and move things in a better direction.

• looking forward to: Springtime is starting here and it feels really special. It's such a treat, to see the flowers start to bloom. I love the way the air smells and feels.

[Image description: a wheelchair made from lumber, screws, front caster wheels, big rear wheelchair wheels, a thin firm-looking seat cushion, duct tape, and a few other hardware odds and ends. The chair appears handmade with a solid but DIY vibe, and many of the parts look like they could have come from a neighborhood hardware store.]

In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.

He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.

I loved everything about this scene. Because Cath is just all the way out there saying out loud that she wants other people to be turned on by her wife. When Eddie says "I don't want to muff-dive your wife," Cath gets so offended.

And I love that Dulcie's first desperate, mortified reaction is to stuff as much food into her face as possible

"I cannot speak, I am too Eating"

when you're actually a very sexual person. you radiate sexuality like a... floodlight, at an airport. they all can feel the sexual energy wafting off you. aleyna and gez have discussed it.
