hey i feel like we dont talk about mag 193 enough because what do you mean martin had to watch jon relive elias getting his eyes ripped out while the man who did this to them relishes--not just jon reliving the terror-- but the fact that he forced him to.
and jon and jonahs eyes were probably forcibly locked this whole time and martin had to watch jons level, calm, statement voice, knowing he physically can't vocalize how much he doesn't want to be Knowing all of this.
Hey so I wanted to join in on the songs that make me think of Avatrice. My contribution is Weights & Measures by Dry the river. There’s just something about it, what do you think?
I can't even tell you how insane this makes me:
Like... this is that Emma thing if I loved you less I might be able to talk about it more but that's me with my feelings for Avatrice fhasdjkfdsl I genuinely feel nuts about the idea of Beatrice of loving Ava in the most poorly kept secret in all of history and her being like ah yes this is fine (:
i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken
do able-bodied people not understand that if disabled people call out of work every time they don't feel good that we would call out of work every fucking day?
like honestly. what do you think being disabled means?
hey btw if you're in the USA at 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.
if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.
additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.
i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."
"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.
