Playing with toys in the sun, we walked long paths together out of curiosity. The joy I felt, carrying you as a puppy, is replaced now the the breaking of the last human aspects of my heart. I love you, Doc. You are everything that is good and kind in me. And you always will be. Doc 2012-2025

I can't help it. Years ago, an ex of mine and I went to Vegas and we found a little restaurant. They had crab enchiladas. Sounds weird, right? Crab, onion, chunks of garlic and mozzarella melted inside with the outside having melted parmesean and a smothering of Alfredo. I STILL dream about them.

There really is no stupidity like longing for someone who only loved you as a passing fancy before their husband went to rehab for the Xth time. WHY am I so fucking stupid?

Josh Olsen @joshthatwriter.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Every day I struggle to remember joy and happiness. EVERY day they seem further away. I don't remember what it's like being touched or loved. I just don't fucking remember and I don't even know why I continue. Just to make everyone around me happy? THAT'S NOT ENOUGH TO STAY.

000

Josh Olsen @joshthatwriter.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

I'm trying so goddamn hard to reconcile myself with the world insofar as "Should I stay". But that inclination is never accompanied by a human voice. Why do I stay?

000

Josh Olsen @joshthatwriter.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

I admit it. Sometimes I miss being touched and cared for. It's been, what, ten years since I've felt that? Is it inhuman to admit loneliness? Or are we so strident we assert that it's an affect of "losers"?

Josh Olsen @joshthatwriter.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Tell me, if the overriding maxim of the time is "Fuck your feelings", do I need to spare the feelings of Christers when speaking about their favorite, primitive, fantasy-fiction novel?

021

Josh Olsen @joshthatwriter.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

Now the Christers are coming after prescription medication for those with mental illnesses. Yeah. That's what I want; a bunch of morons who think the earth is 10,000 years old deciding what medications I can and can't take. Because their rudimentary biblical knowledge is on par with med-school.

Josh Olsen @joshthatwriter.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

The internet is full of mediocre men losing their shit about "Men DESERVE to be lonely". Yeah. We do. Women are SICK and fucking tired of us showing up at the table with the bare minimum and expecting adulation. Women are sick and tired of "men" only waiting for their turn to speak.

Josh Olsen @joshthatwriter.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Sometimes I hate being what I am so much I want to peel my skin off. Being autistic, being "high-functioning", places both expectations and restrictions on you. You're expected to be constantly brilliant and you're expected to be entirely content being solitary. Sometimes that ain't fun.

Josh Olsen @joshthatwriter.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

Trying to impress hateful and resentful people so you can write for a living is the most tedious and insufferable process on this planet. Don't ever try to write for a living; you'll be hamstrung by people who CAN'T write; these "people" will determine your entire life. BADLY.

Wayfinder is AMAZING. Absolute steal and I can't recommend enough. Between you and me? With Grendel looking like this, I'm not loving Beowulf's odds this time around.

Josh Olsen @joshthatwriter.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Do you believe Christianity has ever been a force for good, friends and followers? Or do you believe, as I do, that it has always been evil and always will be? In this particular time, surrounded by the things which we are, all I can see is evil.

Josh Olsen @joshthatwriter.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

The KKKhristers are attacking a bishop who asked for "mercy", much as Christ might have. LMAO!!! KKKhristianity is fucking dead. At LONG last, they show their true colors. Worthless, hateful, ignorant, stupid, deluded, hysterical primates. As ever. It was always going to come to this.

Look. You can believe unicorns live in your SHOES for all I fucking care. But the second, the SECOND you say "We need to enact legislature that actively harms innocent people because the unicorns said", that's when we are gonna fight.

Konami could literally PRINT money with a Metal Gear Rising Remaster but these weirdos are like "Nah, PACHINKO machines!" I don't know who introduced these freaks to espresso and cocaine but this is entirely your fault.

Peak Christerism is being a multiple-adulterer, felon, and r@pist while calling literally anyone a heretic. Jesus, if he existed (he doesn't), would slap the shit out of you, Donnie Boy.

Infinite time, infinite power, infinite knowledge, infinite resources... And we get bone cancer and congenital heart defects in children? Don't ask me to respect a god who couldn't even manage the bare minimum insofar as mitigating arbitrary suffering.

Things as they are will inevitably facilitate a conversation about the role of Christianity in American life and it will require honesty most (white) Americans are not ready for. But this is a conversation several centuries overdue.

Wrong font? Your book won't get read. Their latte wasn't hot enough? Slush pile. The inefficiency would be laughable if it wasn't pathetic. Sometimes I think I'm the biggest fucking idiot alive for wanting to write. I should just give up on this shit.

Ever see a white supremacist who looked like Dolph Lundgren circa 1986? Nope? Not saying correlation implies causation, but I can't help but think this isn't a fucking coincidence.

"Everyone is a little autistic." No, Kevin, you aren't. Please quit fucking uttering that unimaginably tedious and untrue sentence as though it means something.

"Everybody is autistic now!" Me, an autistic man: *looks around, sees laughable inefficiency, legislation based on religionist dogma, science dragged by its coattails, and literally everything catered to people who think SLOW* Me, again: "Are you SURE about that?"

Josh Olsen @joshthatwriter.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

And, predictably, the gaslighting begins. "He didn't say that and if he did he didn't mean it. Jesus loves you except when he wants you murdered. Capitalism is good for you irrespective of the fact that we actually live under communism for my beloved rich people who TOTALLY give a fuck about me."

Christers: *Literally the most prodigious murderers in all of human history* Also Christers: "We are the arbiters of all morality and we should control everything because we don't spectacularly fuck it up every single time we DO."

I don't know know who needs to hear this, but Christianity didn't invent marriage and consequently has no ownership over the concept. Additionally, in Levitcius, your god goes on about shellfish before The Ghei. Ergo: Lobster > Lesbians #GodHatesShrimp

This is the administration run by people who only graduated high school because they sat next to the autistic kids and copied our papers. Then ate glue. Good job, white people. I'm sure nothing unutterably horrific will happen.

Prayer is just a passive-aggressive way of telling your god you think he's being lazy.

America has a multitude of faults; point of fact, they're too numerous to list. Chief among them is complacency. For decades, this system has been one of bullying and concession. America forgets the best bullies and the best villains come from those victimized and bullied.

I admit, sometimes it can be hard not to be a dickhead when over half the population can't read above a sixrh-grade level. They keep saying "Fuck your feelings" but the fact is, I don't think any of them could handle me with the respective gloves off. That's a side nobody wants to see.

Josh Olsen @joshthatwriter.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

So, white people? What do you SEE in this "man"? Your excuses for this creature are endless, and while you wring your hands about "virtue" and "Jesus", this is your choice. Contradicting both virtue and the preachments of your Christ. Explain this to me like I'm six years old.

Far-right dorks are unwilling to wash their own assholes because it's "gay" but paradoxically wonder why no women want to fuck them. Humans... Sometimes I feel I've gone as far as I can with you. Washing your asshole? That's...kind of a big deal.

Literary Industry: "We only sign formulaic writers who can speak our PRECISE language...and we will never elaborate on how that language works." Writers: "That's...that's really, REALLY fucking dumb if you want money." Literary Industry: "You are a writer and thus stupid until you make me rich."

David Lynch movies are what happens when you slice the final cut into ribbons, throw it in the air, re-splice, and dumbshits go "It's ART!" He just...he just fucked with chronology. That's literally it. Shattering narrative flow isn't "art". Or, ya know, fuckin spitting on women (Dune).

It might surprise you to know many of your fellow "Americans" think they're about to hurl this country back in time by 200 years. It must be blissful, being that unutterably stupid and naive.

David Lynch is a fucking weirdo? NO! Ye gods! I could never have seen this coming. What with his whole fetish of degrading women in his flicks and shit.
