One of my favorite things to do is hype up the amazing people I’m lucky to count among my friends, and because I’ve been awfully negative lately (hard not to in the ceaseless hell of USA politics and so on) I’m going to get back to that.
This is entirely arbitrary. Pardon the typical chaos. 1/???

Hazbin Hotel fan theories out there like “Hell. It’s like a typo of ‘Hello,’ which is a greeting or invitation to conversation. Therefore all of the Sinners in Hell are totally vampires!”

I decided to act on a whim decision today because I can’t function like a person with impulse control all of the time.
Anyway, I just did 10 deadbugs for every birthday I’ve celebrated. Meaning I did 380 of them.
It didn’t kill me, but this time tomorrow I suspect I’ll know new levels of regret.

Thinking of simple, perhaps silly ways to keep myself occupied as a creative person who has not been indulging in my preferred craft (writing) in some time and I may be onto something.
Time will tell.
And I’ll say as much directly because I’m a shameless yapper.

Annual reminder as we meander along the end of year holidays gauntlet:
If your family is butt and fails to see your value, I’m family now.
Stay hydrated, take your meds, and stop it with that negative self talk. You accomplished a lot this year, even if that was just surviving. Way to go, champ.

I’ve been breaking out some outdated phrases in efforts to avoid swearing in front of 3, and I fear I may be to blame for him now breaking out the occasional “gee whiz” here and there.
Better than him saying “fuck,” perhaps, but at what cost?

7 trolling my mother-in-law every chance he gets with 6-7 is bringing me more joy than it ought to.

Sorry, on a soapbox today:
Criticizing art/media based on its content, how it reflects - intentionally or otherwise - problematic views of its creator, etc? Cool beans.
Criticizing a creator based on components of their identity because you don’t like their work? Nope. That’s headass behavior.

For anyone making a big family dinner tomorrow in observation of Napkin-Flavored Bird Day, I’ll hold your hand as I say this:
If the turkey is still in the freezer, now would be a good time to start planning alternatives.

If someone calls out problematic behavior in a creator (harmful tropes in their work, shitty personal behavior, etc), the knee-jerk response shouldn’t be doubling down in support.
That’s how you get wealthy transphobes huffing mold and fucking up politics. We don’t need more of those.

Hey there, TikTok Shop Lives. No, I’m not interested in what appears to be collectible cat figurines that have little testicles and obviously visible buttholes.
What the fuck is this app.

It’s 2025 and the world is riddled with all sorts of bad shit, so maybe reclaim small measures of control by not doing things like hate-watching a show.
It’s a sign people either want to enjoy something without admitting to it or enjoy being miserable, and both are fucking goofy behavior.

One of my least favorite genres of post - “I don’t know if anyone noticed this, but [thing that couldn’t be more noticeable shy of having neon lit arrow signs directing attention to it].”

Concluding my final day of being 37 with a glass of very good bourbon and bullshitting on Discord with the inimitable @gamesinabunker.bsky.social.
What a wonderful conclusion to a tumultuous year.

Yay! I found the one Helimix I misplaced a while back and now I’m back to having both of the ones I got!
Less yay! I definitely got distracted after using it and hadn’t rinsed it, so this thing doesn’t need washed so much as it needs an exorcism. Fuck.

The problem with god-like antagonists like Pennywise is they can be defeated despite coming across as insurmountable. And that’s kind of the point - that even the most unbearable foes can be bested.
It’s getting people to accept that instead of fan theorying these things back that’s the struggle.

Saw someone put a trigger warning for a post because it contained their opinions, and I feel like I’m either being trolled or people just shit those out for anything and everything and in doing so effectively cheapen the real purpose of using trigger warnings.
