“Don’t go out if you’re in pain then,” is so ignorant. I’m always in pain. If I didn’t push myself to smile through it I’d never go out. Very frustrating being made to feel guilty when I can’t keep up like I’m an annoyance and not worth compassion, biting back tears from the embarrassment and shame.

Words are cheap but can hold a lot of weight. Action is often the louder and most effective rebuttal.

I made a video but it's too big for BlueSky. 😞 Here's a screenshot.

I don’t have enough ports for this.

My goal now is to live my life like a taut bow ready to snap and fire at anyone who would dare mistreat me like that again.

I’ve never spoken about that blatant attempt because there’s so much more, to be blunt, literal bullshit that was being tolerated for over a year. I let them run me over and take everything else, even my pride, but when I saw that hand about to touch *my* work, it felt like a bowstring snapped.

The bookend experiences framing this treatment;

Despite being in shock at the time, I prevented intellectual theft of my work by snapping out of it and snatching my hard drive away from greedy hands (I still can’t believe it was attempted,) and told many years later that I should be meaner.

The more I contemplate this experience, the more I realize I have been effectively fighting off those who would thieve and lie and cheat me out of more things than I can list for over ten years. Not just physical items but relationships and opportunities, so many people trying to take.

I sometimes think about how very sentimental things have ~gone missing~ when it’s much more likely that:

- someone I trusted to come into my home stole them
- someone got in without me knowing and stole them

Both options suck. But I’m very careful with memorabilia and they aren’t here anymore.

Damn I forgot you were always full of bangers.

If people know they can pay their bills and groceries, there’s less stress about deciding to go out or doing some shopping. Who’d’a thought?

He is like the only Kyle I know besides the one classmate from school. He is THE Kylemancer afaic.

Forgot to favorite the brush I was using, all I see is Kyle. Is this the Kylemancer I once dreamed about?

I did not, in fact, wrap this up. But it looks like I’m still on schedule somehow anyways!

Sheena Duquette @sheenaduquette.bsky.social · 13d

The push for acceptance is unrelenting but there’s barely any evidence supporting, “consumers/audiences,” WANT the slop output, never mind the constant errors and outright failures. 🤦‍♀️ I only ever see bots interacting with bots and I have to disassociate to find peace.

how I’m tryna be 🙏

How far in are you? I think I made it a little into season two before I started feeling too overwhelmed and put it on pause. Things were either too obvious/overexplained or too convoluted to keep up.

Sheena Duquette @sheenaduquette.bsky.social · 16d

Where have you been looking if I may ask? I followed a newsletter years ago specifically listing onsens for foreigners.

Sheena Duquette @sheenaduquette.bsky.social · 16d

I absolutely love your work, it makes me happy to hear you’re feeling fulfilled continuing to share it with us. 🥰

Sheena Duquette @sheenaduquette.bsky.social · 18d

I love this channel!

Sheena Duquette @sheenaduquette.bsky.social · 21d

Haha ohhh no. 😅 It’s nothing fancy I promise, thank you for the comment!

I need to get back to my other model, hopefully I can wrap this up before end of month. 🤞
