ever had a meeting so bad that you start treating it like 'capacity building' or 'teachable moments' I'm in these all-white meetings like a documentarian trying to understand how the local wildlife operates around the watering hole (see: badly, they keep hurting themselves)

it's so funny watching my SH2 stream back and seeing me React in ways that make No sense if you're just watching, because it's! a video game! half of my reaction doesn't make sense bc it is in holding the controller! it is immersive and interactive! VIDEO GAMES MAN

the rich ones are stupid. the leftists take a bizarre tone of moral authority or an insecure position of apology with nothing in between. the gloomy ones do nothing and complain about nothing happening. every now and then you get a destructive one whose consequences are absorbed by the nearest POC

hey I got so pissed off at a 2.5hr meeting that I actually wiped out for the rest of the evening. it's now midnight. the meeting was at 3:30pm and I feel like I've just recovered. bro the existential dread of climate catastrophe cannot compare to trying to community organise with white people

"wow that's such a good perspective on a video game you just shared" thanks I've spent the past three years pinballing between the radical gay liberation crowd and decolonising theologian activists and I think I've found a neat middle-ground

sometimes my investment in something is like going over hair with a fine tooth comb, and sometimes my investment in something is more like zooming out so far that I start to reassess whether I could ever truly know what hair is, and I think Silent Hill inspires me in both directions. simultaneously!

Mim @mimza.bsky.social · 5d

me playing Silent Hill for the first time in 2025 saying 'what if this is not just about the in-game events but also the philosophies of interactive media itself?' to a handful of wild-eyed fans who've been kicked repeatedly in the face by fandom and game studio alike for over decade (so I've heard)

Mim @mimza.bsky.social · 5d

chuffed that people saw me prattling on over the years and clocked me pretty quickly as someone that'd go rabid over Silent Hill. you're correct! and I will reward you with So Many Words About It

so yeah like shout out to the version of me that doesn't respond to any texts. I see you bitch. take a breather. but know that you gotta get back into it next week

sidebar however I think it's important to know when 'that's how I am' is actually code for 'I'm really tired' in the same way, y'know, saying 'I can't figure out this friggin riddle' is usually gamer code for 'take a break, touch some grass' and/or 'ask a friend'

it's just funny to me that I am an activist, advocate, artist, gamer - all of these things encourage transformation, improvement, the pursuit of justice or excellence or victory or experience, and yet sometimes I'll just be like 'oh that's how I am' SINCE WHEN HAS THAT STOPPED YOUUU? BE CONSISTENT!

that thin line between validating yourself and never aspiring to be different is very fuzzy, and it's easy to overlook. but in EVERY OTHER ASPECT of my life I understand that nothing just 'is', it moves and changes. some things will always be difficult BUT they will also always be worth doing

Mim @mimza.bsky.social · 5d

when I used to be like 'I'm just bad at responding to text messages' I kept not responding to text messages. now that I say 'it's my responsibility to community-building to respond to text messages' I still miss some but now I respond to more of them. perspective is important I think

granted I never aim to be the exclusive center of any movement bc that's a) unsustainable b) egotistical c) stupid, but at the moment I've been singularly saddled with the task of it all, so I'm building outward into community while also biding my time. granted that time is like, this weekend, so

Mim @mimza.bsky.social · 6d

been working on making myself the darling and centre of political activism in my community here and trying to perfectly time when to be like "oh btw" and slam my pro-Palestine anti-colonial anti-capitalist pro-LGBT stuff onto the agenda. what if the Trojan Horse was just a friendly face with Motives
