Last night’s #drawings were apparently about reptiles

this therian spoken word performance manages to go in between "kinda predictably hokey" to "strikes sore enough nerves I want to paw at the ground and whimper." We're currently at a point about human alienation from the wild and it sounds like, any moment now, she's going to start telling us about how we Children of Gaia fought against the Impergium (and no, I'm a Silent Strider, thanks).

I live cement
I HATE THIS STREET
give dirt to me
I bite lament
this human form
where I was born
I now repent

give me wide ground to run
and forgone
lets me knife
knife me lets
I will get
what I want

I now think that this is on me as an abuse meets neurodiversity thing; other kids realized they had to DO it, but they weren't required to LOVE it, where I always felt deeply flawed because I didn't ADORE whatever was mandatory (though they would never have been a receptive audience even if I could've figured out how to ask to focus on stuff I really liked).

Currently thinking the central issue of ADHD was always trying to understand why I’d want to do something dead boring with lots of benefit for other people, other than coercion. Made worse by how childhood was inherently coercive. And no parent or teacher can make insults and unflattering comparisons to “better” people internally rewarding.

anyway, I went to T&T AND now have cornsilk tea and genmaicha, but also I bought spinach and pea shoots, and Trader Joe's has a good price on broccoli so I got *that* along with some other stuff, and I made a batch of banchan and a bag of chopped spinach in the freezer

this made me feel accomplished until I read about a younger friend getting laid with boys and girls literally every night since he'd been in NL. Fucking ow.

Okay, The Magic Sword was a serious let down. There's a certain amount of goofiness which you just accept in fantasy movies made prior to Lord of the Rings, and Magic Sword was basically headed that direction right up till the end. Which I'm okay with - I actually did like the sort of comic relief good wizardess, she was very 60s.

But... a climactic fight against a two headed dragon and a powerful evil wizard should seriously, *seriously* kick ass more than anything else in the movie and uh, literally the magic returned to his sword to make it glow and he slew the dragon with one thrust? The evil wizard had his ring stolen while he wasn't looking and then took an angry puma to the head? This is NOT Ray Harryhausen Sinbad film stuff, here.
