I feel like I understand this in general, but I don’t know that it makes sense to me personally.

For me, knowing that I have a language related gift and that I don’t seem to have it for any reason but how my brain is, makes me WANT to use it. I try various things in life but I always go back not just to wanting to tell stories and use my gifts, but also to the sense that I know I have a purpose and can always be sure it’s there in the background.

This SEEMS positive to me personally, not negative. I see so many people around me who feel like they don’t know whether their life means anything or what they should do with it, talking about how they’ll never have what they really want, and they seem… terribly sad, to me.

So when I read posts like this it confuses me. The stuff on the right sounds positive and nice, and yes I have struggled with a few of the things on the left, but it really seems like a competing access needs thing to me.

Where if I want the good stuff on the right, I have to give up my purpose, because it’s on the left.

I think graphics like that are meant to describe neurotypicals.

Sad news for Peter Capaldi as the art school he attended has been hit by another massive file – the same part of the school that was seriously damaged in a fire in 2014. (Edit: apparently this happened a day go but I’m just seeing the news now; I found out by way of an Instragram story posted by actress Katy Townsend of Mass Effect: Andromeda fame.)

Peter was in the midst of filming Series 8 when news of the 2014 fire hit, and he posted this video online to give words of encouragement to the students there. He and Brad Pitt were also among those who also helped raise funds for the restoration. I’m sure Peter’s words from early 2014 still stand four years later:

The fire started around 11:15 p.m. (3:15 p.m. our time) on Friday the 15th. It was about 5 p.m. when I read the breaking news on BBC on Twitter. The most I feel for are the students and all of their beautiful work, also feel for Peter and those who studied there years ago. I came across a link to donate restoration funds. It’s called The Mackintosh Campus Appeal at Big Give:

The thing is, the fire did so much more damage this second time, officials are fearing they may not be able to save the structure. 😢 We can always hope for the best. 🤞
