I tend to prefer instrumentals given everything but this is great, especially with the captions

Doesn’t really feel all the different to twenty, or nineteen. Although I don’t have to use the fake ID now, so that’s nice.

It’s been a little busy round here so I let it go for this year. (Don’t worry, it’ll be party time eventually. Especially if my College friends get involved. They’re making noises about bar crawls around Manhattan)

You really don't want to know what's been happening in social media over the last week or two. Trust me, it's white women showing their entire asses for clout.

There has been a lot of talk of community though. So it made me wonder. What do you consider your community?

And I don’t just mean how blue his eyes are. Sometimes people only engage with disabilities or identities as tragedies of what we lack that ‘majority’ people have.

And I think that only sees an aspect of everything we are as people. You can’t see a person if all you see is one singular part of who they are.

I’m not just deaf. I’m not just Native or Latina. I’m not just a woman or a mutant. I’m all those things but I’m also not your stories or your view. I’m my own story to tell.

Anyway, I love the physicality of the sign paired with the music. It’s a dance of language and it’s amazing.

Just been kinda of listening to this (The cochlear makes it possible to hear the words for the most part. It’s hard sometimes to describe to hearing people what I actually hear)

I feel like having conversations sometimes about anything important there’s always the possibility of disconnect or misunderstanding.

I’m doing all my babies first college degree courses right now before they start teaching us the important stuff. But I’ve met so many new people and it’s been interesting because there’s so many different stories out there.

Don’t worry, I’m still the angry little fighter you all know and love. But therapy and outlets for the rage seem to be helping.

Went to a speed dating thing the student association organized. It was fun but odd.

Some people were totally relaxed, others taking it way too seriously.

Some guy decided Russian Political history was his go to pick up technique.

I don’t even know on that one, but he was a fan of Batman comic books so might be someone interesting to know.

I did make a new friend tho. Absolutely no spark whatsoever but he’s a good guy. He invited me out to have some coffee on Friday and meet some of his other friends.

If he’s not a total creeper I might see if he wants to come by the anime club, they’re having a Naruto showing on Sunday.

I’m starting to question Wade and my Dad’s decision making skills right now.

On the plus side, my Japanese rock garden is coming along well.

Tell me what everyone is going to be doing for New Years before I decide to movie marathon all of The Lord of the Rings extended edition with the cast commentaries turned on.

Figured I'd try smiling once in a while. Don't get used to it.

Snow!

Well then.

There is new anime that I have not watched. Apparently in the original Mars language.

Who is Nora? Did Kevin get a girlfriend when I wasn’t looking? Considering how old he is I’m surprised he hasn’t had a heart attack with a girlfriend like that.

I need help

I need weapons that are non-lethal. Something I can knock people out with even if they have a healing factor that isn't going to kill them.

Discuss.

So, not on Halloween obviously, because of parties + trick or treating. But I was thinking one of the weekends leading up, we need to do a spooky-themed marathon.

Maybe a few nights? So, maybe one night 'Classics' another night 'PG-13 Movies' and then we get into the really scary/nasty horror stuff.

Okay, so, people need to remember to look at me when you’re talking. I’m not doing any call outs because that’s lame but it’s going to be months of healing before I can decide if I want to get my cochlear implants back or not. (Yeah, I’m not sure I want them or not yet)

It’s been kinda interesting tho. I got given them so young that I never had to deal with my deafness unless I wanted to before.

Hearing people can be pretty clueless sometimes. (It’s okay if you’ve tried to talk to me before I could see you, or forget and still do or I reserve the right to laugh at your dumb ass)

Closed Captioning doesn’t appear to be as much of a thing as It should be. So many stupid arguments by hearing people on TikTok about why they shouldn’t have to spend time captioning things.

It’s like we ask you folks for the bare minimum and you bitch like we just hit you with a hammer.
