Hm. I haven't been posting here much and my last post was quite the downer.

I suppose I'll be more positive today. Things are typically all dark and dour, I think it's best to be more positive.

I've been reading Digging for the Bones on Ao3 by Paganaidd (they have a dreamwidth!) and I can't help but just be in awe of all that they're doing as an author. They are very clearly an adult writing fanfiction though as seen in their dreamwidth, but I still can't help but feel awed at their skill and tact in writing. It's been a while since they've posted here on dreamwidth, their last post being sometime in 2013 – 2016 which; if it was 2013, that was 11 years ago now. Kinda wild to think about I won't lie.

I think I wanna set this thing up on my neocites blog. If I can? that is? I'm not sure really.  Honestly I haven't been working on that thing much either.

Ahhhh I really don't have much to update with here.

Oh, I don't support what Niel Gaiman did to those women though. Didn't know about all that when I was posting about the Sandman and all that all starry eyed.

anyways...

It's so tempting to just eat the world, to just set it alight and watch it all burn down with the state of affairs. Since I'm currently busy with classes and my friend group irl is so stunted by my social anxiety I feel so helpless to make any meaningful changes, and even if I weren't bogged down with classwork and crippled with a fear of failing to speak sentences successfully to others I still feel helpless knowing so many others have also done this, raised signs and protested, and the end result always seems to just be luck of the draw.

And like deep down I know. I know that the psychology behind it is that when people are focused on smaller problems in front of them (work, school, etc.) they forget about the larger problems beyond them, and it just... It blinds them. It's a manipulation tactic used to ensnare people into cults—to bind people to abusive relationships.

To bind people to abusive systems.

I watched Philosophy Tube's video on the failings of the UK health system, and a precursory glance at the comments already has me enraged. Its so easy to look to the USA's healthcare and sigh, with the healthcare more freely available in Canada, where I live, but hearing people living in fear for their lives from being perpetually denied service simply because they're a woman or they aren't white, or what the fucking ever.

Watching the USA burn below, I didn't even realize that the Canadian bill of C-11 passed until it was way too fucking late.

"At least it's not like the US! At least we're better off than the US!!" That cannot be our fucking standards. Why? You wanna be just a little shuffle better than the people over there? you wanna have all the same issues except maybe one, so that you can claim you're so much better?

You know what—you wanna know what is worse than the USA right now? Our fucking housing market. Someone on tiktok is currently documenting the fucking upheaval of the housing market in BC which, is worse than it is in the USA. Shitty little houses in BC can cost more than an island in other countries—you could buy a castle with the money it takes to buy a house.

I just—I want to fix it all. I want to tear everything apart and fix it. You can practically see the people suffering under these fucked up systems. How, people are denied their health rights, how people are unable to find a house—unable to pay rent. And then the C-11 bill aka, the "online streaming act" aka, the ability for the Canadian government to control what streaming media (including tiktok and youtube) is being presented to Canadian citizens. Anything that isn't Canadian content (as decreed by various legal documents you'll have to sign) will be left to the wayside while whatever is "Canadian content" will be pushed up in the algorithm.

Knowing governments, I will very soon see very little about these problems on healthcare and the fucked up state of the Canadian housing economy.

I will forget that people are suffering as I stress about my next exam, or about some other, smaller social problem, that has little to do with our shitty government officials, and people will die, and their blood will be on my hands, and the hands of everyone else that couldn't do anything to change the system—to scream at our government officials until they changed.

And the blood is on my hands, because for some reason, the population has to do so damn much to enact proper change to save themselves.

I just. I fucking hate it.



And I hate this.

I'm probably gonna delete this an hour or two after posting. Idk, I'm not sure if I want to express this kinda negativity on my blog and it's not even very well worded on these points of agony. I'm just... I'm just angry and I want people to be safe and healthy. I don't want people to die like they are now.

Why is that so much to ask for?

why?

It's unfair that so many children are raised with the notion, "its important to be kind to others," "superheros protect those who are in need! you should be like these superheros!!" "you need to care for the people around you, the people in need" only to be faced with a world that just... doesn't.

I return to the Dreamsite. I suppose now I shall call it that at least. Either that or The Dreaming in homage to The Sandman as I had mentioned in my previous post about it. Unfortunately my knowledge about that story largely comes from the TV show Adaptation and hearsay from those who have read the comics. If pressed I couldn't tell you half as much as an avid comic reader would be able to.

Anyhow, I am currently under renovations of my Journal, which, yes I am now calling this place such, seeing as it does have it's own title. I was rather hasty to ascribe a title to it rather than take the space for what it was, unfortunately. I'll try to avoid such misdemeanors in future encounters. Returning to my renovation attempts, I've finally settled into Selecting Nouveau Orleans, and I am currently in the process of editing it's images and colours to suit my needs. The base cut I've gotten from the catalogue is Tea Rose by Dancing Serpent and while the colours are gorgeous, I fear for my eyes during late night endeavors, and general vision strain. Thus far, I've successfully removed the overabundance of flowers in the style and am currently searching for a replacement for the two patterned icons that makeup the header.

I'm tempted to break up this log into various snippets as I progress in decorating my Journal, but I'm as of late unsure if I want to integrate it into my comments or simply insert each as a brand new log. Or perhaps I could insert new points at random. I don't know. I think for now I'll just have minor updates be called updates within the comments, while large events are given their own logs. Hopefully that should suit my purposes? I don't know.

Anyhow, I shall be returning to my search for suitable images for my Journal.

 My exploration of the various entries to this space has proven itself to be possible. Of course, whether or not it proves itself helpful has yet to be seen, but an alternative entrance to this space may be helpful if the higher-ups decide I am not to be allowed to explore—or if my funds are bitterly, bitterly cut.

Experimenting experimenting experimenting.

I'm not sure what I'll use this place for but eventually I hope it'll be something of the madman's corkboard for my writing—with text instead of images.

Idk. Maybe it could serve as a journal? Or a diary of sorts? Somewhere to practice writing & think about life & all that?

Hmmm. anywhozits. I need to get to bed na.

I'll keep poking at this tomorrow hopefully.
