differences distance
I've noticed that a lot of newer shows and movies tend to highlight differences a lot more than before, at least in the U.S.A. I'm not sure if it's more profitable or not. I've seen conflicting reports and I know controversy can drum up an audience just as well as it can decimate one.
I was going to watch Jeopardy the other night and I ran across...well, I'll call him an IRL cosplayer. He was a man pretending to be a woman. I instantly left the room. I absolutely loathe lunatics being given a platform to spread misinformation and harmful rhetoric, no matter where one lies on the political spectrum. I used to love Mattea as a contestant, before she decided that she was a they. This is just lunacy and the least problematic aspect of this is destroying the foundation of languages, of communication.

dream diary: mar 16, 2025
i ended up waking up and falling back asleep three times today. in turn, i got three dreams that i barely remember the details of. also it smelled like smog in our room last night while i was trying to sleep, not that it's related to anything.

[05] today i realize i'm no better than bf skinner's stupid, dopamine-addicted pigeon.
for context: i love my partner! i love talking to my partner so much. they're my whole world and my treasure. however, they're more of a caller than a texter. so sometimes they tend to zone out and reply a little later.
it's nothing i mind too much most of the time, since i'm not too good at conversations either—and part of me knows and trusts that the both of us are very comfortable with the silence!! we still love each other very much!! but... i tend to do this thing sometimes, in the time between my text and their reply... something i'm NOW only realizing, much to my horror:
