But back home, or: This brown earth

A Sijo

through my childhood's winters
my feathers turned as white as snow;
but back home on this brown earth
the very shade exposes me;
unruffled while in full view
I tuck my beak beneath one wing 

What Do You See 359

For WDYS, Sadje offers us a photo by Ali Kazal (Pexels) of a snowy owl perched on a log in a serene forest in Alberta, Canada.

As always, Sadje is eagerly awaiting our responses!

Sijo?

A Korean verse form related to haiku and tanka and comprised of three lines of 14-16 syllables each, for a total of 44-46 syllables. Each line contains a pause near the middle, similar to a caesura, though the break need not be metrical. The first half of the line contains six to nine syllables; the second half should contain no fewer than five. Originally intended as songs, sijo can treat romantic, metaphysical, or spiritual themes. Whatever the subject, the first line introduces an idea or story, the second supplies a “turn,” and the third provides closure. Modern sijo are sometimes printed in six lines.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Punk Is Autistic

The culture of punk is, at its core, authenticity without apology—and that’s exactly what autistic people desire: spaces and cultures where they can be their true selves without the need to mask or conform.

Punk Is Autistic (Episode 89) – by Sami Harris

We love this episode on punk and autistic culture from The Autistic Culture Podcast. It touches on themes we cover in our glossary.

• DIY
• niche construction
• community
• neuroqueering
• very grand emotions
• belonging
• stim dancing
• co-regulation
• masking

On Spotify:

On Apple Podcasts:

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-autistic-culture-podcast/id1653171456?i=1000680698511

At the end of the episode, they give a shout out to our “Chronic Neurodivergent Depressed Queer Punk: Punk Rock, the Social Model of Disability, and the Dream of the Accepting Community” playlist. There’s a lot to learn about neurodivergent life and culture in that playlist.

Everything that was normally supposed to be hidden was brought to the front.
