i’m constantly flip flopping things in my imagination and honestly it’s kinda intrusive and annoying but also some people clearly do not and cannot and it’s so weird imaging their world
the typical stuff:
looking at a young person and imagining them older, even much older
seeing an old person and reminding myself that they were once my age, once in high school, or elementary school
gender presentation alternates
etc
I still spin my phone the same way I did twenty years ago with my thumb on my blackberry’s thumb wheel and middle finger on the back of the phone
shameful-bystander-“they oughta”-comment
using (protest) signs to shame a (shameless) mayor in a major U.S. city about traffic infrastructure when (ineffective) signs are their preferred compromise, for the same reasons, even (they are cheap, easy to put up quickly), sure is something
important follow up disclaimer: signs are but a small part of activism, one person’s shame and action is not the actual sole or specific expected result, there is almost always a larger strategy, there isn’t a “right way” to protest, etc
feeling pretty isolated and lonely this evening, so much that socials are downright off-putting, I can’t get into the book I’m reading, and there’s nothing to watch that is appealing at all. oh, I do have an American Master’s to finish, let’s see
