Good article on #aphantasia.
Like many described in the story, I have never been able to 'picture' anything in my brain. Anything. I always thought when people told me they were imagining a scene or seeing something, that they were being allegorical.
I therefore have no experience of what it's like to think any differently. This is the brain that I've always had. There are no pictures in it.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!
“The detection order will not be part of the EU presidency’s new compromise proposal. It will remain voluntary for tech giants to search for child sexual abuse material.”
Danish Minister of Justice, Peter Hummelgaard, confirms today that Denmark is backing down and dropping mandatory scanning.
Thank you all for raising your voices!

Phew, glad that they backed down. Sure, it may pop up again and big corpos can scan stuff. But I'm really glad that mandatory scanning won't be enforced.
I say that, for now, let's celebrate!
They always take a step back before leaping forward again.
if scanning isn't mandatory it's still allowed and that alone is a terrible thing. Future proposal could help enforce it in practice.
The only true victory would be a total drop of the proposal.

Es muss ja wirklich nicht immer Genreliteratur (Horror, Krimi, Science Fiction etc) sein.
Die meisten meiner Lieblingsbücher sind aber schon etwas älter:
Gabriel García Márquez:
- 100 Jahre Einsamkeit
- Liebe in den Zeiten der Cholera
Herbert Rosendorfer:
- Das Messingherz
- Die goldenen Heiligen
Heinrich Mann:
- Der Untertan
Osvaldo Soriano
- Traurig, einsam und endgültig

Pokrovsk Is In Danger Of Falling To Russia. Ukrainian Soldiers Are Fuming.
Russian forces have gained a foothold inside the Ukrainian-controlled city of Pokrovsk. It’s fraying Ukrainian defenses, stoking frustrations, and worrying experts, who say if the city falls, it will imperil a swath of Ukraine’s frontline defenses.Mike Eckel (RFE/RL)
Of course the soldiers are upset, but blaming Syrskyi isn't the way. When the enemy is numerically superior, you may have to retreat. Otherwise you risk the lives of your soldiers holding untenable positions. Syrskyi's top priority is preserving soldiers' lives.

1. On October 23, Trump pardoned CZ, the founder of Bianance. CZ had pled guilty to willfully violating anti-money laundering laws. His conduct, according ot the DOJ "allowed money to flow to terrorists, cybercriminals, and child abusers.”
A week later, Trump is getting his payback.
The first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem...

Gruppo italiano del Piemonte Orientale che combina elementi grunge e new wave. Formati nel 2024, prendono ispirazione da Smashing Pumkins e The Cure rivisitandone le sonorità con armonie originali e un'espressività nuda, acida e greve connessa a ispirazioni orientali e a tratti blues. La formazione è composta da batteria, basso e due chitarre.

NOEM: No, we're absolutely not willing to put on pause any work we will do to keep communities safe. The fact Gov. Pritzker is asking for that is shameful.

in reply to Adrianna Tan • • •The article describes the experience of a person with hyperphantasia: "Then the cat died, and after his death she saw him everywhere—on the sofa, on the floor, on her bed, wherever he had been in life. She saw him so clearly that it was as though he were actually there in front of her. Her grief was made so much worse by this relentless haunting that she began to feel as if she would not be able to cope."
Holy shit. If I had that I would not be able to do anything. I would still be crying about Cookie. Instead, I only think of her when I see a thing that reminds me of her. A photo, an item, something in real life.

in reply to Adrianna Tan • • •I wonder how aphantasia impacts the way that I write.
For me, writing is the primary and most precise way in which I can express myself.
When I write, I don't imagine any visuals. I don't have a picture of what I am trying to write. Instead, I have.. chunks of text, that I.. perceive, feel, hear? It blows my mind (with no images, haha) that everyone's brain is so, so different.

in reply to Adrianna Tan • • •Back when I lived with roommates one of them would always laugh at how visually oriented I am, vs. how focused on sound the other person, who was a musician, was 😄
We'd be describing the same thing, but from entirely different angles.
Sini Tuulia
in reply to Adrianna Tan • • •If I want to, I can imagine something so vividly and realistically that it might as well be real if I manage to not get distracted by my physical life. Not exactly touch and not exactly smell, but so close that I might as well be touching or smelling it, and full vision sort of overlaid on top of the black space above my eyes. 😄
It's weird and cool and is very convenient every time I get stuck with nothing to do or nothing to take my attention, or need to figure out a complex material problem like sewing and how fabric will behave, or what a thing looks like... But also deeply inconvenient if I'm imagining something horrible, or reading about something horrible that happened to someone else. Books are a TRIP when reading!
