sleep: what is the most comforting thing at night time for you?Lately I’ve found that cosleeping is very comforting. I love cuddling with people I feel safe around. I generally don’t like touching people, but when someone is safe to me then I am 100% okay with sleeping near them. I’m kind of afraid of the dark sometimes so having other people there with me at all helps. I also sleep with a stuffed gecko so that’s helpful. I also find that quiet music is nice when I’m sleeping. I can fall asleep with nearly anything playing.

chimes: what sounds are your favorite?I really like the sound of a ticking clock. I find it very reassuring and calming because of how even and measured the beats are. I also like metronomes for the same reason. I really like the sound of rain on the roof. Can I be weird for a sec here? I like the sound of your voice. It’s very calming.

stories: books you remember from your childhoodI remember one called “My Many Colored Days” that I really liked, and it had one specific page that said “Gray day. Everything is gray. I watch, but nothing moves today.” My mom always read that with the exact same inflection every time, so to this day on overcast days, I think of that page from the book. I often say it too, so if you ever hear me say it, that’s why. 

Christian marketing has literally no chill whatsoever.

I think it’s hard to be chill, though, because any word that has a positive connotation for the religion is going to immediately set off a flag. Like, any mention of “faith”, though subtle in most places, stands out like a sore thumb in a business context. Even making nods toward being a good neighbor, values, etc, people start to ‘suspect’, as loaded a word that is.

I mean, the main function of Christianity is unwavering devotion to God, so you basically have to decide “do I do my duty as a good Christian and openly praise the Lord?” or “do I tone down the religious beliefs I founded my company on in order to appeal to and serve a wider audience?” I don’t think either answer is inherently right or wrong, but you really can’t go subtle and quiet with the first one.

That being said, Christian Hip-Hop CDs are a little shoehorned in.

Papageno is probably one of the least problematic dudes in opera. Zauberflöte has problems, but Papageno is probably the least of them.

Holy shit, I haven’t seen this described so perfectly. Yeah, I feel very similarly for myself as a trans person looking for a new name.
