Hello, I'm Claire (she/her), a computational materials physicist in her early 30s. I reblog everything any anything, and occasionally post my own thoughts. I post fractal art sometimes, check #fractal art and #fractal flame tags for some examples. I post a lot about rocks and minerals under #mineral specimen. #wizard shit is self-explanatory. I don't really do much other social media, but you can find me @CharyouTree on app.wafrn.net if tumblr burns down.
We've also recently figured out that we're plural! All of us are facets of Claire, and can honestly answer to that name, but we also have nicknames or alternate middle names that we refer to each other by. On this blog you're mainly going to hear from Cassandra, our most common fronter since she reformed after our egg cracked and [deadname] crashed and burned, but there's a few other facets that we know about so far that you might hear from every now and then:
Bunny (she/her), our 2nd most common fronter. She's a version of our tween selves who's SO happy be back and to learn that I've helped us transition! A smart cookie who's excited to learn and make friends, she's the one who insists that we take care of ourselves and be nice to each other. She has her own sideblog where she posts her own thoughts, and a lot more of our thoughts about plurality more generally (and pictures of bnnuys :3) @claires-bunny
Aegis (she/it/he) Scared and angry teenager. Normally he only comes out when we’re panicking. Its only motive is to fight back hard enough to run away. She’s been in denial about being a girl, and now also about being a system. Thinks all of this is ridiculous.
Æon (any) A being of molten crystal and black flame. Comes out in moments of transcendent positive emotions, frisson, awe, and cosmic perspective. Wants to be indestructible to bask in the majesty of the universe. Complement of Aegis.
Serena (she/her) Catgirl who LOVES fish :3. Her aspect is catharsis, healing, tears, tranquility, and meditation. More likely to front after we've recently cried. A woman of few words.
Saturn (he/him) Reincarnation of our old host [Deadname], after many months banished to the void after our egg cracked, and Cassandra took over as host.
Athena (she/her) a teenager who's still growing and learning after she split from Bunny. Ambitious, outgoing, a little bit chunni, she's our drive to become who we're meant to be.
The DJ (they/them) They don’t talk, but they have a soundboard of our favorite songs and echolalia and they mercilessly @ us with them.

There seems to be an uptick in cissexism in the #diskhorse recently. I've noticed a few people expressing sentiments like ''if a trans man wasnt trans he'd still (just) a man, if a trans woman wasnt trans she'd (just) be woman*'' as a way to assert that trans men are somehow privileged over trans women.
Aside from the fact that, no, we are in fact talking about trans people here. By treating transness as an aside to our gender, it implies that cis gender dynamics are somehow more true and objective. I am trans. that is a material fact about my existence. It's impossible to extrapolate cisgender experiences to define our own because we are not cis
*side note, this is an incredibly narrow, binary view, rife with problems. Gender is deeply personal and subjective, and while this may be true for some, its certainly not true for everyone.
you literally cannot look at anything online anymore without the company hunting you down in an email or notification being like "you forgot to buy this. you left this in your cart btw. did you want anything else? something similar or entirely random and different? we have options but to see them you have come back and buy stuff thanks"
One of the most annoying genres of people on the internet are people who act like they believe science is one single monolithic thing. Like, you'll see an article saying something like "scientists studying the movement of tectonic plates", and then in the comments there'll be several smug people saying "smh why are scientists doing this instead of finding a cure for cancer", like. Why would a geologist be doing that.
With of course, its natural concequence being "if a scientist says it, it must be true" and sure why shouldn't you trust what an astronomer said about cancer. The disease.

Sorry as someone who teaches rhetoric this is a wonderful response to the Paradox of Tolerance. I cannot tell you how many times my students have had debates about this. This is the response. This does indeed fix it. I cannot wait to tell this to my classes now. Philosophically and rhetorically this completely resolved the Paradox of Tolerance and I am floored by its simplicity and angry I never saw it before.
The title of this essay should disturb you. We have been brought up to believe that tolerating other people is one of the things you do if…
Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty. Tolerance is a social norm because it allows different people to live side-by-side without being at each other’s throats. It means that we accept that people may be different from us, in their customs, in their behavior, in their dress, in their sex lives, and that if this doesn’t directly affect our lives, it is none of our business. But the model of a peace treaty differs from the model of a moral precept in one simple way: the protection of a peace treaty only extends to those willing to abide by its terms. It is an agreement to live in peace, not an agreement to be peaceful no matter the conduct of others. A peace treaty is not a suicide pact
laughed myself sick last nioght imaging lotr gollum having a blog where he just talks normally while also signing all his posts in beautiful cursive for some reason. like this:
so what you're gonna do is you're gonna trim the top off a bulb of garlic, using the knife's edge to take off the tip of every individual clove, that's important. you're gonna place the garlic face-up in a square of tinfoil, drizzle with olive oil, wrap completely in foil, place in baking tray, repeat with a copious amount of garlic bulbs. you're gonna put that baking tray in an oven set to 375-400°F, for 30-50 minutes, until soft and browned. you're gonna toast some good bread, slather generously with butter and honey, maybe a tiny lil bit o' salt. and then. you're gonna SQUEEZE. OUT. THAT. ROASTED GARLIC. onto the butter honey toast. and you're gonna eat it. food stolen directly from the plate of the gods. that's what you're gonna do.

I would actually go as far as to say that MOST abuse is unintentional. I think most people will go through their lives without ever experiencing intentional abuse. People are abusive because they're selfish, because they're stressed, because they care more about what society thinks they should do than the impacts of their actions on their children and partners, because they think what they're doing is correct, because they've made it make sense in their own heads, because they think they can fix their victims, they think they can fix their relationships, they think they can stop you from leaving, they think they can make you a better partner to them, they think that means you need to do what they want. We've sort of constructed mental illness in a way that doing this shit to other people counts as a form of mental illness because it is anti social behavior in the literal sense— it is behavior that causes social harm.
I don't say any of this to excuse it. I think everyone needs to be more aware of this because if you think abuse has to be intentional you will never realize you are capable of abusive behavior. You will never realize you are being shitty to the people you love, because YOU know what you mean, YOU know you don't mean any harm. But you're doing harm. You need to pay attention to the impact you have on other people, and you need to do it all the time, Especially when you feel least capable of doing so. Sorry! You live in a society. Get your head out of your ass.
This is also important because if you don't understand this you will fail to realize you are in an abusive relationship and/or fail to convey to your loved ones that they are in abusive situations. "My partner can't be abusing me, they love me!" If you think those are mutually exclusive you will rip yourself apart failing to recognize the situation you are in.

Almost every culture has their type of pierogi thing, we are all connected by dough that wraps around a yummy inside... gyoza, ravioli, empanadas, dumplings... we are all the same... why must there be war
developing the hots for ryan gosling because of project hail mary is so fucking embarrassing I swear to god. that is a conventionally attractive man. a noted hollywood heartthrob. he's even blond, are you kidding me? did he win people magazine's sexiest man alive? I don't know. I'm not going to check but it wouldn't surprise me at this point. it's such a mainstream taste. such a clichéd celebrity crush. like oh I fancy ryan gosling and my favourite drink is coca-cola and my favourite snack is ready salted crisps. jesus christ. 'b-b-but i only like him when he's in a science pun tshirt and playing a dorky-awkward loner type!' doesn't matter. he's still ryan 'ken from barbie' gosling. it's so trite. I feel like the weird nerd girl in a teen coming-of-age romcom falling for the super popular jock. don't I know that I have a reputation to uphold here? cringe.
