Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
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.
Working on new iterations from a 2016 trapcodeTAO project file.

Thought I’d do something of a quick update here, just so y’all know what’s going on in my head sorta thing. I may or may not have had a minor breakdown after orientation (for uni) yesterday, so that bodes well (not), but regardless here’s my plan for the foreseeable future:
I’m planning to write whatever it is that takes my fancy.
Technically I have time to write, even looking at my schedule for the upcoming semester. It’s more about whether I’ll have the brainpower to do so. Also I do still want some downtime to passively consume media and relax and all that. So I think the best thing in order to keep some words ticking over is just to write whatever occurs to me, whatever arrests me, whatever makes me go oh, I have GOT to get that down.
Which means I’m not going to be focusing on any one WIP. I’m going to be writing scenes as they occur to me, and it may just be that scene and that’s it, or it may be a series of scenes from something, or it may be something else entirely. I may post excerpts just for funsies, and I’ll probably still try to participate in tag games and whatnot, even though without any consistency I don’t imagine anyone will be particularly invested in anything I’m putting out. But still. Evidence that I’m writing, and all that.
At the moment there’s a few different ideas spinning around my head. I’ve got AAH, the sci-fi horror starring (?) Verreynne and Flack. There’s this weird urban fantasy thing I’ve been weighing up. There’s ___RISK IT. There’s my brand-new brainrot, which is essentially ‘a group of traumatised adult Chosen Ones long after the Final Battle have to get back together to do... something’. There will no doubt be more, if I’m allowing myself to just jump around and create and abandon things all willy-nilly.
This probably goes against the prevalent advice of FINISH THINGS, but also I’m choosing to be kind to myself and give myself the best opportunity to keep creating, even with everything else going on. And I think this is the best way to do it.
So, yeah. Be prepared for some randomness, I guess. :D Hope y’all out there are going well, and as ever feel free to drop by for a chat if you wanna share something! ^_^
