Finally bothered to check my spam folder and it turns out UK ppl name storms too?
Anyway, @ whomever it may concern:
> "Storm Éowyn is expected to pass close to or across the northwest of the UK on Friday before clearing to the northeast on Saturday.
> Whilst there is some uncertainty in the track of Éowyn, a spell of very strong winds is likely, initially southeasterly before turning westerly, with peak gusts of 50-60 mph inland, 60-70 mph around some coasts and hills, and perhaps up to 80 mph in exposed parts of western Scotland.
> The wind strength will gradually ease across southern areas later on Friday."
I'll be honest: I am struggling to read or just exist without pissing myself rn, so
If you have further weather updates or advisories, tips for weathering the climate collapse, typical emergency preparedness (so say we all),
please do.

"Thank you! It's important to remember our power, as bad as things get.
You're not dead until you're dead.
And even then, people remember you, your loss will be felt, and even an unquestioned absence is information to be drawn from.
We need rest, and we need to be able to rest.
Capitalism will end. We will build something better. Recuperate regularly.
It's okay to take breaks and push for improvements. "
tch. There is no "both sides" of any issue.
There are many sides of many issues.
And for that matter, EVERYTHING is biased. That doesn't mean nothing is believable.
A 'bias' is a 'side'. More precisely:
to be 'biased' is to have a framing, a perspective, a viewpoint,
an angle of observation, a tentative hypothesis, a prospective origin,
a stake, a weighting, an interest, a 'finger in the pie', etc.
To be 'biased' is to have any position at all, on anything.
Most allistic people are 'biased' against suicide.
That doesn't mean they're wrong; although I would argue otherwise.
(Most people may view self-termination as 'bad' and 'icky'. That's their expectation about how the topic should be discussed.)
You need to feel your feelings or they will keep haunting you until you do.
Your child is not your emotional dildo. Treat them like the separate person they are: someone who is learning to be a person.
Your child is learning to be is their adult self, not you nor anyone else.
Resentment is a sign you have overextended yourself. Pull back, solidify boundaries, assert needs, and rest.

@MxVerda Good to be straight
Was a bit of a confusion as a first post and 2nd line to try work out what "Your child is not your emotional dildo. " and seems a bit inappropriate to have those words together (don't liek the word inappropriate to say it to others but seems right here if I need to work out subject and why dildo is there),
Ok just saying but seems right that you can use another metaphor that doesn't need working out itself so early what you mean and what topic is about - children, emotions, dildos? Take a few seconds which could be avoided perhaps by saying ""You child is not you emotional crutch / fixation etc"
@freeschool Eh, I get what you mean. Ideally, every parent, carer, or adult remotely responsible for a vulnerable person would always be appropriate with them, or immediately seek help to figure out where to learn those skills.
I chose the wording specifically to make people stop and think, but mainly because that phrase is exactly how I felt with my mom. She didn't see me as a person, but an external thing to fix a self-centred whim.
(Emotional needs are real and valid. So is getting therapy for your traumas, triggers, mistreatment habits, etc. Other people do not exist solely to accommodate other adults, although they can choose to with informed consent.)
I understand it's upsetting and revolting. Good! The tendency of many parents (etc) to wield their children as status symbols, ego boosters, legacy insurance, obligatory elder carers, etc is dehumanising af.
I don't intend to upset anyone unnecessarily. Still, many people do not seem to want to change or consider new ideas without being forced to confront current unsustainability.
Understanding, Interacting Transforming = More Transformation...
@MxVerda GREAT
- this actually explains it well and I've boosted it. You do well to explain in my eyes...
Or not even "explain" but extend or interact, enjoy expanding upon - which is all good and can be part all this in #understanding and clarifying...
🖤 I think it was good also you achieved the the "getting me to stop and think about it" in that phrasing either way - so even if it might give a bit of #excuse to pass it over seeing dildo as your first pinned post and 2nd line in - still they could read more or see someone else reply (so doesn't always need to be an easy bar for people though these post after help after the interest (positive type) or confusion (positive/neutral/negative type).
Is good to upset people as well in that sense too and if you ever do this writing again or part of something else then you could always put an asterisk by #dildo* etc so people could look down see what you mean / make sure they know - like a #vocab footnote / #vocabulary section / sidenote.
Basically to "help you in life" (not that you need it 100% -) but only because I recently learned something that might help and still learning!.. is that WE are the part of the problem (or balance) doing the same-same things in a limited way and talking to same limited people or not believing in pioneers above us (even strange people / or me / or even shitposters / wildpeople to be honest that have great ideas despite aesthetics or just *think different- which is enough to score more than average or same-same things over and over.)
WE are not able to link, TO #TRUST (OR INCREMENT TRUST)
The aim as I see it from here is:
- To keep talking to those that can those that do understand
- write back no matter what
- push through and see you are good / imperfect even if a bit of #bitcoin loving comes up suddenly or we're not sure why someone has those mix or loves and we let those write everything else off
- those that want to get to reasoning in the end and find the logic
- etc etc
At the moment my observation is that those heads (let's say like you and me or above listed things) don't actually make ourselves an audio #chat or keep incrementing something to do with this BOTH as therapy and creative work - to take ourselves to next level / other progress.
Instead most of the we / us are trying to bring the wrong people up / those that don't want / those that already decided for one reason or other...
Anyway audio chat is there for you - I have a #Jitsi chat open anytime you're ready...
And overall I think past what you said or after we survive things WE NEED to CREATE / RE-CREATE ourselves out of it into another dynamic and ping pong - find others too in process...
Even taking the 1% of 10% who are clever and open to this might still mean more than enough for us (5 people maybe on Fediverse as my account has been trying this) to #pingpong and constantly discover more and go up from where we are intelligence (or #accumulated intelligence) and not 'bash' or repeat to those that simple are different (or not interested / limited in #intelligence / #workaholics / escaping in a different way etc...)
so recognize this (saying it's a shame etc) but not focus / dwell on this unless it's a positive accumulated way that that can reply / care more from there. Yeah kinda "#fuck them" but really just 'we can't focus on them / don't know how that works - so let's focus elsewhere constantly"
Again our ability to chat further is a measure of ALL that "becoming the change" and "transforming" which I think is quite right in the #biological / behavioural / evolutionary way...
So...
Try not forget this post and I think we (every level for themselves) need each other and need themselves / ourselves to got to the next level or traverse to other levels and increment those / change and pump those up... which reflects the compartmentalisation we're in and that system is 'producing' mono-specialist and the time is to #transform out of that!
Sorry if I wrote a bit fast (I'm doing this daily and people who can't really continue I've reduced effort to doing it faster / writing to more people answer those that can answer!)
#compartmentalised
#compartmentalized

Much love (to all things!)
