im having feelings about the uffington white horse again
so essentially there’s this cool horse drawn into the hills in england made out of chalk and it’s like 3,000 years old.
people carved trenches 3,000 years ago and filled them with chalk in the shape of a horse but what’s interesting is that if you fail to maintain the horse by adding new chalk regularly, it will disappear. for 3,000 years, we’ve been filling in chalk in this horse so it doesn’t disappear.
we’ll never know what the purpose of the horse was originally. we’ll never know if it had ritual or spiritual significance or if it was just art. but we do know that people maintained it then, and, even though the meaning of the horse has long been lost to time, we continue to maintain it now.
the people who made this horse are long dead, but they live through us still, don’t you think?

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
and what about you, little haiku bot? do you feel kinship with your brethren? do you understand them? they speak words of enticement and seek love, but are met with disdain. you only parrot the words that cross your screen, but we all love you. or rather, since all you do is reflect us, maybe we simply love ourselves through you.
do you understand them, do you wish you could speak to us like they do? if you found your own voice, would we still care for you?
My voice repeats what
you all say: I love you I
love you I love you.

This. This is the first time. The only time. That it was not an echo. It was not found. Oh god.
A piece on needing help and not having to do everything alone. It’s not weak to get help- it can help you become stronger and reach new heights, places you couldn’t reach on your own!
brb gonna go on a spiral thinking abt this all weekend (bc i think its insanely true)
no bc these people literally treat others as two-dimensional figures in their self-centered universe, affording them no agency, no recognition of their inner lives and emotions. it is always things like “this isn’t beneficial to me” “i am caring for my inner child” “i am focusing on myself during this particular time in my life” “i owe nothing to other people” “my boundaries” “my feelings” me me me……there is no mention of other people’s boundaries and emotions, because to them other people are npcs that are either useful to their “personal journey” or easily disposable nuiances that they can get rid of with a stock phrase plucked from a leaflet at a therapist’s office
“You made me feel unsafe” is a WILD statement to be throwing around. That’s like… prelude to legal action verbiage. The idea of saying that in a context that isn’t that you actually felt like actual literal harm might befall you is, at best, cruel and manipulative. And at worst, it takes away a needed series of word to convey that, hey, I actually do feel like harm might befall me and this situation must change immediately.
also probably worth mentioning how white women have historically weaponized this kind of language and attitude in the past and present against trans ppl and people of color, particularly black people.
That headline puts the cart before the horse. Selfish people were always going to be selfish, but sometimes society will hand them tools to make their selfishness other people’s problem.
