PRIDE

this morning, someone boosted a post by Andrew Stroehlein, the European Media
and Editorial Director of the Human Rights Watch: Why are some people proud of
things like their nationality or religion when it’s just an accident of birth? I
can understand being proud of something you’ve personally accomplished. But
being proud of something you had no control over? It’s like being proud that it
rained today. (source) it’s seldom that I encounter a post that makes me want to
punch its author in the throat, but here we are.

WORDPRESS MIGRATION

as I’m sure some folks have noticed by now, I have migrated my blog away from
Wordpress. I had been planning to for several months now, ever since Wordpress
chose to remove the cost of my domain from the rate I was paying for hosting,
but the ultimate catalyst was Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg choosing to drop
trou on the internet last week. by which I mean he revealed himself to be a
transphobic asshole.

AUTISM AND COUNSELLING

I was reminded of part of a conversation I had with my job coach and one of her
other clients last week, at a meeting she arranged between the three of us
because she wanted to assess my ability to work directly with (autistic)
clients. (which feels to me like it backfired, I think, primarily because the
client said, up front, that they were there because she asked them to come.

ON ABUSE AND AMBER HEARD

Content advisory: I talk about being an abuse survivor. I will readily admit to
not paying much attention to the Depp/Heard suit; the things celebrities get up
to are not typically of interest to me. However, thanks to Cancel Me, Daddy, the
one podcast I listen to near-religiously, I understand quite well what was going
on with it at the macro level. I am an abuse survivor; though the abuse I
suffered was primarily institutional neglect, I was also physically and
emotionally abused.

SHAME AND ACCOUNTABILITY

A while back, I saw some folks talk about shame with reference to individual
accountability regarding institutional events. There are at least three things
wrong with this, though. Shame is a harmful, negative emotion. Deliberately
inflicting it on people is emotional abuse, as it leads to feelings of
powerlessness, worthlessness, etc. Individual action cannot solve institutional
problems. When we praise people like Martin Luther King, Jr, Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, and other leaders, we need to recognize that they lead.

PARASHAT LECH LECHA

This parashah’s unfamiliar ground to me, as unlike Creation and the Great
Deluge, this section of Torah is new to me. 12:10–20: It’s really not clear to
me how Abram could have come to the conclusion that deception was necessary
here. Did the Egyptians have a reputation, or is this just xenophobia? 13:1–13:
There’s not much to say here, since we’re setting up for later parts, including
some foreshadowing. 13:14–18: Welp.

THE JOURNEY SO FAR…

Not so long ago, in a city not so far away… I first had an inkling that there
was something not-quite-right about me in fifth grade. At the time, I had no
idea what it was–I didn’t have the vocabulary. I want to say it was during or
shortly after we learned about sex in class (where we learned about HIV/AIDS),
but I don’t remember the timeline well enough to know.

MEDICAL SCARE

About 06:50 this morning, I had a sudden sharp stabbing pain in the lower-right
abdomen. Given what that could’ve meant, I went to the hospital as soon as I
could confirm it wasn’t going away. After bloodwork, urinalysis, and a CAT scan,
however, the medical conclusion was, “We don’t know.” Aside from an atrophic
left kidney (which I knew about) and a hypertrophic right kidney (which I
didn’t) and a calcified granuloma in my lungs, everything checked out okay.

INTRODUCING AMETHYST AND FACETS

Hi, folks. Amethyst here. You may not know me, but I’ve been here the whole
time, just behind at least two different facets. You absolutely do know the
facets, though, or at least one of them. The reason I use ‘facets’ is that
there’s only one personality here (me); Síle and Aerdan may have their own
preferences and tastes, but neither of them talk, at least that I’ve noticed.
There are a few other facets in here, but they’ve yet to emerge and provide any
definition, so until that happens I’ll leave them be.

ATTENTION DEFICIENCY

A lot of people, when they think about attention deficiency, think about ADD, or
Attention-Deficit Disorder, with an optional H for Hyperactivity. However, that
defines ADHD from what is observed from outside. But ADHD isn’t about not paying
attention, not really, and I’m not here to talk about ADHD anyhow. The sort of
attention deficiency I want to discuss is a different sort. We know that birth
to six years of age is the most important period for emotional bonding and
trust-building between parent and child.
