I think I’d like to make a movie about time travel, but as a murder mystery. The movie would follow some agents of a law enforcement agency that are investigating what appears to be a series of…cult murders? serial killings? They’re not sure, but bodies keep turning up with similar electrocution markings, and they’re investigating. They find this organization of people who believe they’re preventing the end of the world by sending people back in time–only you can’t physically travel through time. What you can do is send a consciousness, a life-force, back to a previous iteration of itself. Unfortunately, that means the person appears to die.There’s people in the organization who claim to have already been sent back, but y’know, crazy cultists!
and they claim that effects of time travel are imperceptible to “people within the linear flow of time” because as far as a normal person is concerned, anything changed by the time travel has always been this way.
The investigating agents would eventually track down these crazy people and prevent them just before they “sent back” a whole task-force of people, and would pat themselves on a job well done. They did it! They stopped the murderers with delusions of time travel.
But the viewer, if they’re paying close attention, would notice inconsistencies–Things that, at first, could be passed off as continuity errors, but which would escalate until it was clear that something was off. Changes in routines, little alterations to the sets, hairstyle differences in characters…escalating to the point where some side characters are different people altogether. Nobody on-screen would react to these changes at all.
And at the end of the move there would be this moment, maybe a back-of-shot news clip on a tv somewhere–that implied that the end of the world might just be near.
The sanctions won't even work on a group like Lions' Den so this is just pointless anti Palestinian-ism
‘aight, mate, we’re done! Looking like a proper little punk now, eh?

@/savoirflair: On #EarthDay, it's crucial to recognize that the guardians of our planet are its indigenous peoples, who have historically maintained biodiversity and preserved natural resources through deep-rooted practices and ancestral wisdom. There is no climate justice without human rights, and we cannot celebrate our planet without honoring its original and eternal custodians. Without the stewardship of indigenous populations like the Palestinians, our environmental efforts are incomplete. Their resilience and ongoing struggle underline that Earth Day is not only a call for environmental action but also for justice and the recognition of the rights of indigenous guardians who have nurtured the land for centuries.
i am. and you are not
Holy shit
Some paintings with nice memories affiliated to them on twitter. Since twitter’s fate is unknown rn, i just wanted to say I had a really fun journey there. I’m truly thanksful for all the love I got there from many strangers who took a few sec out of their days to stop and look at my silly art haha. It greatly helped me like my art and myself, since honestly, both are linked. I also met so many people and made so many friends. I tried to find as much people back here as I could. Anyway. May we meet again guys. Thanks for the ride on twitter. ❤
Alise: hm. I’ve found this locket under Sedric s pillow with a picture of hest and a lock of his hair inside, and it’s engraved with the word “always“. There’s only one explanation for this…..
Alise: of course! Sedric must be keeping it safe for me! He’s ever so thoughtful

It's so weird talking to people who's view of "here's the way life is for everyone" is shattered as soon as they talk to someone with disabilities (physical, mental illness, any). Like you'll say you'll have a problem and instead of helping you they'll argue with you about how you're not actually facing that problem. Like,
Me: Hey, I'm really struggling to find a job and a part of it is my resume. I was depressed & psychotic during highschool so I didn't do anything to gain skills or achievements to put on my resume. I also don't have anyone to put as a reference. What can I do?
Them: You can add your skills, hobbies, clubs you're in, and different volunteer work you've done! You can also get your teacher as a reference.
Me: I already know what to put on a resume, my issue is that I don't have things that I can use. Also, I'm in my mid 20s so I don't know if I can put my highschool teacher as a reference.
Them: Well if you're a part of a church or an activity group, you could add that. Also, think of any projects you've worked on in the past.
Me: I already know you can put these things on a resume. I'm not looking for suggests of things I've already done, I'm looking for what I can do now if I haven't done anything.
Them: There's no way you didn't do anything during highschool?? What about some odd jobs you definitely did for extra money, like babysitting or mowing the lawn?
Me: I spent all of highschool either in modified classes or in bed doing nothing - not even hobbies, what about that do you not understand?
And then you talk to someone who's also disabled and they're like "Here's a bunch of jobs you can do from home that don't pay much but look good on a resume, here's some free online courses that also look good on a resume, here's how you can be making small amounts of money in the meantime, here's some things you can put besides a professional reference, and here are your rights if your future employer tries to take advantage of your disability - which you probably shouldn't tell them about unless you need accommodations."
And suddenly my will to continue trying returns!
