Reblogging again cause I tried this site last night and if you need background noise to focus this is perfect for that, I was locked the fuck in on a task. And it’s also just gorgeous to listen to
decided to go for a little found materials thing with my sangfielle prompts this year, so it's barely readable haha
actual transcripts under the cut because that's a lot to put into alt text
For @aphrddt hope you enjoy it!
Thank you @secret-samol
Page 1, marked "5.2" and "Jna -> RvneP -> Ctbk -> Prse"
5:30 train to Perseverance
Mighty excited and grateful (blessing sign) to make my third observation so soon sense the year began. Here's to a great journey and if those gods (blessing sign) willing a striking UMR (Unschola Monthly Review) entry!
(under a sketch of the train emblem) not half bad!! can clean it up back at Mona's
5:29
Left Jahna with a minute to spare. Tough to take the mood in so early, wonder if the Tern has the flighty nature its name suggests. Promised travel time declared 21 hours only, which puts me in Perseverance by nightfall.
Page 2
(next to a scheme of a train car)
"Bright Tern Postal, coach car 3"
a1, a2 - doors
b - windows
c - luggage racks
Full cherry wood interior with simple glass inlays, light and airy.
Four seats per isle, hard seating with roll-up Bright Tern livery cushions affixed every bench.
No sign of a dining car - justified by our size and destination, but still a shame. Yet man can't be picky (blessing sign)
Card included:
Train sighting log
Day seen: 5th of 2nd month 8xx
Place seen: departing from Jahna, Fifth Canton Mandate, Sangfielle
Name: Bright Tern Postal
Livery: faded cobalt and white
Number of carriages: 6 (six) total, with 4 passenger and 2 mail and baggage
Boarded: y/n
Ticket number if applicable: C3/I2/S3
Page 3
5:55 - drafting for now?
After filling out my observation card and taking in the detail, i took a window seat in isle 2 to absorb both the gorgeous scenery of Ojan plains and the bright c (crossed out) airy confines (?) of my train.
Bright Tern pamphlet, kindly provided to me at the station, tells the traveler that their person shall be delivered swiftly and safely to Unschola held inns by nightfall.
Seasoned ferroequinology fan such as myself in turn knows this ain't always true and schedules are more suggestions than rule.
6:50
Fell asleep promptly despite excitement. Car filled with low relaxed conversation and i can only hope i wasn't snoring like a complete fool.
(next to a sketch of a tea glass holder) akin to burl wood? lightweight and porous to touch
Page 4
Interior unchanged save for three glass holders, such as added to every isle table.
I truly am in luck (blessing sign) since I've never seen these in situ before!
Why three? Would i have neighbors?
Reread my early notes - in need of editing, desperately.
SHAPES ON THE TRAIN!
1 masked 1 avian (with arrow pointing from 7:04 timestamp)
7:20, i gather since i had a moment of awe and frankly dared not bring attention to myself at the moment. Yet clearly they do not mind me.
Page 5
Immediately past 7 car visited by a slight ojant. woman of quiet but nasty demeanor wearing Tern colors, heavy tea cart in front, steaming. Was tempted to strike a conversation, but reconsidered. Neither of the Shapes said a word yet. They don't touch the tea either, which is plain silly to me - never have i heard about train foods being nefarious to one's person.
(underlined) No snacks offered yet!
8:40
Insufferable people. Still silent, not even (page break)
Page 6
(page break) a glance in the window. Spent all my patience on detailing one sketch. M. seems to be asleep or sitting terrifyingly still.
8:43
IMPOSSIBLE PEOPLE!
Wish they let me be. A. caught me sketching and very rudely grabbed my book. Nearly made me tear a page. If every Shape starts attacking inno- (crossed out)
Both are still silent. A. ignored and possibly disrespected my Society badge.
Book returned to me moderately crumpled.
9:17
Tern entered a tunnel as we were coming up to the mountain foothills. Terribly intrigued but can't see the devil's arse in there.
A. got tired of harassing me and is now fast asleep. M. in turn finally aware of life.
(with arrow pointing at the tea maid sketch) back to our car. for what, just to glower at the shapes?
Page 7
9:20 - still in the dark
All curtains rolled down as one! How i wish i knew the mechanism behind this.
This further startled an impressionable young man in isle 5, and i admit i was secretly taken with the feeling too, but all were reassured by a returning passenger.
Managed to strike a conversation! Emidio seemed happy to discuss the Tern with me, and i've put a great amount of his observation down in shorthand. Told we're due to arrive at Ravine just some 10 minutes after leaving the tunnel, yet when - varies greatly.
Despite being as persistent as i dared, didn't get too much about the dark route we're taking. Hiw can it be that we spend a different time under the peaks QAD and yet make stops with enviable punctuality? My greatest desire is to find any personnel besides the gloomy tea woman, yet not so likely with the Shapes around.
If i am to trust Emidio's words, some of the paper trash rolling under the seats he swears is a rudimentary emdemic life form akin to rootless plants of the west. Still unsure if that's a joke of his.
Page 8
(next to the sketch of a scene) Ravine-Postal 9:50
10:10
Finally back to open sky. Shapes out for a smoke and look almost careless.
Sent a postcard back to Society in Jahna. Bought steamed buns of decent taste.
Really need to find Emidio and get a good expo for Ravine, but he's nowhere to be found. Way too many insects ouside.
Page 9
10:40 - RvneP -> Cantbank
Well, they do talk! Shapes have congratulated me on being through "the worst of it", whatever they meant.
Both of them are now quite loud and inconsiderate. A. only laughed when i mentioned his rudeness. I miss the morning quiet.
11:00
Passed a mountain lake which amused us all greatly. At first i thought we're being blinded by the suns, yet the bright shimmer came from dozens of fish, moving through with their sides to the light.
A. is particularly taken with the picture.
(next to the sketch) Emidio and the tea maid
Page 10
Spotted Emidio who i started to worry about, since none has seen him since our stop in Ravine. Almost glad to see the tea maid and her cart back in time for the afternoon round.
11:10 - switching tracks?
Apparently taking a detour, which everyone is understandable annoyed about.
Can't hear even half of the announcement over Shapes as usual. How can M. make so much noise by just walking!
Curtains closed back again, so gather i should also walk over and finally as- (text interrupted)

art museum websites when the artist was a communist: ...he continued to paint, despite the fact that every time someone in Soviet Russia made abstract art Joe Stalin would personally storm into their studio and start tearing apart the canvas with his teeth
art museum websites when the artist was a nazi: ...his work flourished from 1937–1945, a time where nothing particularly notable happened, and then he emigrated to the united states where he designed buildings for private universities
I am currently finishing up some training in work, and the topic is on helping international students to avoid culture shock. They have just presented me with this graphic:
They've captioned it with "This is a bit of fun but it highlights the underlying point" but I am now completely stuck on "I'm sure it's my fault" - "It's your fault" - "Why do they think it was their fault?" as an interaction

A skyscraper under construction/renovation in midtown manhattan nearly collapsed yesterday due to a major structural failure. that's not funny at all, of course, but what the spokesman for the developer had to say about it kinda is:
yeah. no totally. we've all been there. everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days
This belief is tied to the misconception that colonization was undertaken by states, and thus that only countries whose states had colonies were involved. The importance of companies and venture capital in colonization is vastly unknown and frequently underestimated. When you look into it, you'll see that even some European countries without colonies had colonial companies. And even when that wasn't the case, the states themselves or large part of their capitalist class could own stakes in foreign colonial companies.
And even more indirectly, they could have stakes in trades that were fed by colonialism, like industry developing thanks to cheaper material from the colonies, which fueled the industrial revolution
I really don't understand the monogamous ethic. I don't only disagree on moral principles and I don't think it's that I have highly divergent desires (I'm not actually all that interested in fucking different people). I think I just don't see a romantic partner as having the sort of relationship with me where I'd feel hurt that they have crushes on other people or feel lust for others or sleep with them. Nor do I want to see them that way.
For one thing I don't clearly see Romantic Love as something to be set apart from other kinds of loving relationships, because I don't see the a hard and clear distinctions between different forms of love. The tone of numerically distinct loving relationships differs slightly and continuously, since I love each person because of the specific person they are. Given that, a partner loving someone else at the same as loving me doesn't appear to me as though someone else is treading on something that should be mine alone.
Another reason is that I want to preserve some separation between myself and the people I love even in the most deeply absorbing ways. I think eros involves a pull towards fusion with its object, but I don't actually want that to happen in the end, it's just a direction passion pulls me in for a time. I like for the people I love to remain a little alien to me, because difference is such an enriching part of life and one of the reasons love is so fulfilling. If love involves somehow seeing the world with someone, I still want to have different perspectives that we have to share with each other with effort. Insisting that we only see the world with each other feels contrary to the desire to stay disunified.
Finally, I think that there may be some pathological desire to push people away and have them come back to me of their own free choice. The light force of monogamy as a norm feels like it pollutes the love people give me. I don't feel secure in love if it's given under such circumstances.
All the same, I think I've come to accept that being a little concessive on monogamy is probably the only way to make it likely to find and stay in a relationship. So under normal circumstances, I think I would just accept the external practice of monogamy despite not really believing in it.
The monogamous culture forming recently freaks me out though. I don't think it would be a problem to avoid having sex with anyone but one person. But I do think that if a partner got mad at me for kissing my friend's hand and calling her beautiful, or dancing suggestively with someone else, I'd find it way too constraining. I also don't think I can avoid developing feelings for other people that cross over into what many people would get extremely jealous over. I can avoid doing anything about it, but I can't avoid developing the feelings in the first place. But avoiding the feelings seems to be exactly what a lot of people want. The bar for what counts as cheating in general seems to have gotten crazy to me.

i think transfems should be allowed to be good at sports.
sometimes a trans woman wins against a cis woman. sometimes a cis woman wins against another cis woman too. yet only one of them is allowed to win without facing consequences.
it's not enough to support transfems in sports if your support hinges on us being bad at them.
