I'm still a mess... but I'm trying to power through it... gonna talk it out with the doc... sorry I'm like this kiddies, I really am, & sorry not being strong enough to fight my own self destructiveness... but I'll keep trying... for however long as I can... I appreciate those that checked in, TU🫶😔.

They’re literally grown ass men, and even if they weren’t, this is an insane take. This is how this shit takes root, just out here proudly normalizing hatred and division, under the guise of “boys being boys.”

Tragic, truly.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

Yeah… pretty sure I am just (barely) tolerated by people… calling me “friend” is most likely just a pity thing… fairly certain of this at point. 😓

even if I somehow "get better"... it's too late... who the fuck wants to commission or hire some unstable prick like me? Yeah... giving up makes sense... not existing makes sense... it's not like there's anything left... just another lonely monkey howling alone in the dark... no one really cares.

I appreciate the few that tried... wish I could believe it but lets be honest... I'm just text on your tiny screens... the moment I stop typing... none of you will remember this fucking loser... maybe that's why I'm even still on here... screaming into the void is better than nothingness... for now.

remember... when the internet was just a bunch of weirdos that just wanted to explore cyberspace, connect with one another, make/share things for free, & indulge in some fun silliness or naughtiness? Yeah, it wasn't perfect but it felt less superficial, commercial, or artificial than now... just me?

I still don’t know if I should make these words public either… think it would be upsetting to listen…

… I have re-recorded this multiple times… it just gets longer & sadder… I don’t know how to say what I want to say without it becoming morbid & depressing… but this hurts… so fucking much & I want it to stop… I really don’t think I have the strength to keep lying to myself anymore…

I may be an evil lil shit, but sending masked, armed, unknown agents to kidnap innocent people for no reason is horrible

It may be a silly frog costume, but what it represents is beautiful 🤍🐸🖤

Also i made a custom brush to shade this, ill show in comments

This is sweet of you to say but I have been an active creator for far too long… almost 40… with nothing to show for it… at some point one has to admit defeat… I couldn’t even force myself to do anything I want because I just can’t… it hurts too much… being a loser sucks too much… & I’m tired of it.😖

Z @zackaryxanatos.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah… but I don’t believe in me anymore… haven’t for a long time… almost 40 & I have nothing to show for it… just disappointment from family, too many exes, no real career, mental health problems, & just constant reminders of my own failure & uselessness… I don’t want more of this… do I? 😖

Z @zackaryxanatos.bsky.social · 2d

Be honest… I should give up on everything, right?

I really want to know… it’s obvious I got nothing left anymore… just wasting everyone’s time… right?

World’s got bigger things going on than dealing with another failure… right?

What good or change can I bring… Nothing, so just give up… right? 🥺

#ProudBlue #Resist #FreePressMatters

No, just say no, seems to be the reaction of many well-known news organizations to the demand by the SOD Hegseth that beat reporters must agree to new rules by tomorrow, Tuesday, or hand in their press passes. I hope they all walk away.

Reporting is not PR.

The Pentagon is telling beat reporters to sign restrictive new rules by Tuesday or surrender their press passes by Wednesday. Many news organizations are rejecting the ultimatum and saying they will not sign. Here's my latest >>> www.cnn.com/2025/10/13/m...
