The Universe's Personality Hire

you may have noticed that my blog is disorganized and thematically incoherent and my tag game is weaker by the day. this is commentary on the chaos of modern existence

if you are a parent, or may become one, or you are otherwise likely to arrive in the situation of caring for a child while they eat, promise me this: if a child doesn't like a certain food or food group, you will ask them WHY. and specifically, you will pay attention to either confirming or ruling out "it makes my mouth itch" or "it makes my stomach hurt," both of which are medically important info that children may not provide unprompted. which i know because this PSA has been brought to you by "i spent my entire childhood and much of my early teens eating peas and lentils while wondering why everyone else liked the Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation so much, like were they a bunch of legume masochists or something, before i finally realized that Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation was in fact a sinister demon appearing only to me, and her true demonic name was: Legume Allergy"

Also to keep in mind, if your child says “this food makes my head hurt/gives me a headache,” PLEASE believe them!! This is also medically relevant. Brought to you by someone with migraine, it took me 20 years to get diagnosed because I thought it was normal that things like bologna or hot dogs or avocados gave me a crippling headache and horrible stomach cramping. And as early as I can remember, I told my parents about how random foods Made My Head Hurt and they basically just said damn that’s not real tho. Chronic migraine often has food triggers, and eating certain foods can literally give you a migraine if your threshold for having one is low enough due to repeated exposure to triggering things. Listen to your damn kids!

Happy pride everyone, bringing this glorious moment back

i hope this isn't derailing, but i just wanted to add, this is one of the reasons how SSI works in the us is so brutally inhumane. disabled people who are incapable of employment are literally legally forbidden from having the money to buy ourselves out of the horrible situations we're systemically forced into. even if people are willing to donate. if i ever have more than $2000 to my name at once, my income's cut off permanently and i get kicked off my healthcare plan. we've created a saw trap where disabled people need to spend more money to survive than people without our specific challenges do, and then literally banned the most vulnerable of us from having that money.

Genuinely think the most underrated skill in writing is knowing when a scene is done. not perfect. done. there's a version of every scene that keeps going because you're scared to leave it, scared it wasn't enough, scared the next scene is harder. so you keep adding. one more line. one more beat. one more little moment. and the scene dies from it. it needed to end three paragraphs ago and you just kept talking because you didn't want to face what came next. same as real life actually.

dreamt that i went to a car dealership and Light Yagami and L were there and I saw L first so I went "woah are you L death note?" and L went "L what?" and light went " L WHAT."
