Both in general (and from the point of view of my spider man au) I see Harry as a young carer. In case anyone doesn’t know, you can be a carer for those with physical conditions, mental illnesses and addictions etc. And Harry’s behaviours and such, especially in the early years really remind me of someone who is a care giver for their own parent.

From Harry having to calm Norman down and handle his outbursts on multiple occasions, to when Norman is dealing with amnesia and is confused/effecting his behaviour to the moment that especially invokes my feelings of Harry taking up a young carer position is Harry putting his own wellbeing aside and wanting to help Norman after Harry is recovering from an overdose. Despite Harry having very poor health, mentally and physically in the moment, he still wants to look after/care for Norman when he becomes distressed.

I was a young carer (to an extent.)

It’s rough. Now that you bring it up I can definitely see some of that in Harry.

a dreadful event

As the close relative of a trans person today has been a bad day for me. I have seen multiple Twitter accounts screaming about how trans people are groomers who mutilate kids. Many of the loudest of these have Israeli flags in their usernames. (Israel has killed 13,800 children in Gaza, so far.)

The sheer volume and sheer level of trans hate is terrifying and it’s relentless. I see it trending every day and there’s nothing I can do to make the world any safer. Apparently a gym in America has been sent bomb threats after going trans-inclusive and individual trans activists on Twitter have been sent death threats. JK Rowling recently listed all the trans women she didn’t like in a list with sex offenders and called them all men. She’s a billionaire so no-one can stop her.

I tried reading Sherlock Holmes “The Adventure of the Illustrious Client” to make myself feel better (it’s the one where an abuser of women is punished) but I had to stop right at the beginning.

To revenge crime is important, but to prevent it is more so. It is a terrible thing, Mr. Holmes, to see a dreadful event, an atrocious situation, preparing itself before your eyes, to clearly understand whither it will lead, and yet to be utterly unable to avert it. Can a human being be placed in a more trying position?

RIP, Pokemon Go’s photo mode

A pointless update has now essentially taken away the photo mode as I knew it and replaced it with something much more complicated and annoying. Will it be back? Probably not, knowing Niantic. No more real-life Pokemon Snap for me. (Photo mode was literally the main reason I played the game.) But here’s some of my favourite Pokemon Go photos I’ve taken over the years.
