A cat with chronic fatigue syndrome. I'm bad at social media and don't have the willpower left to fix that. One year I hope to be able to fight my own battles again...

I believe we're approaching the end of Esoteric Ebb today. Ragn may be more tired than I am, but we don't have time to rest, not when we're this close. Feel free to chill with me over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

More Esoteric Ebb today! I expected more to be down here, so I'm going to keep exploring for a bit. This investigation feels like it's a little bit of a dead end. Ah well. Feel free to chill with The Cleric over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

Back to Esoteric Ebb. We don't have much time left to find this witness. I'm going to try to speedrun a dungeon, as soon as I actually find the entrance... Feel free to hang out with me over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.
When I was at one of my lowest (mental) points in life, I couldn't get out of bed some days. I had no energy or motivation and was barely getting by.

I had therapy once per week, and on this particular week I didn't have much to 'bring' to the session. He asked how my week was and I really had nothing to say.

'What are you struggling with?' he asked.

I gestured around me and said 'I dunno man. Life.'

Not satisfied with my answer, he said 'No, what exactly are you worried about right now? What feels overwhelming? When you go home after this session, what issue will be staring at you?'

I knew the answer, but it was so ridiculous that I didn't want to say it. I wanted to have something more substantial.
Something more profound.

But I didn't.

So I told him, 'Honestly? The dishes. It's stupid, I know, but the more I look at them the more I CAN'T do them because I'll have to scrub them before I put them in the dishwasher, because the dishwasher sucks, and I just can't stand and scrub the dishes.'

I felt like an idiot even saying it.

What kind of grown ass woman is undone by a stack of dishes? There are people out there with *actual* problems, and I'm whining to my therapist about dishes?

But he nodded in understanding and then said:

'RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE.'I began to tell him that you're not supposed to, but he stopped me.

'Why the hell aren't you supposed to? If you don't want to scrub the dishes and your dishwasher sucks, run it twice. Run it three times, who cares?! Rules do not exist.'

It blew my mind in a way that I don't think I can properly express.

That day, I went home and tossed my smelly dishes haphazardly into the dishwasher and ran it three times.

I felt like I had conquered a dragon.

The next day, I took a shower lying down.

A few days later. I folded my laundry and put them wherever the fuck they fit.

There were no longer arbitrary rules I had to follow, and it gave me the freedom to make accomplishments again.

Now that I'm in a healthier place, I rinse off my dishes and put them in the dishwasher properly. I shower standing up. I sort my laundry.

But at a time when living was a struggle instead of a blessing, I learned an incredibly important lesson:

THERE ARE NO RULES. RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE!!!"

I will add pressure to this by saying that any company that claims to not hold onto your personal data after verifying you? They're lying. Ive been nitro free since the first time they tried this, voice how you feel with your wallet people. Make them really feel that squeeze.

We're back in Esoteric Ebb. Last time I saw the plot and ignored it, ending up in the dungeon alone and very much in danger. Actually died at the end of stream. This time we try getting out, I think. Anyway, remember to opt out of twitch's new shitty policy. I'm here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

Lines of thought that seem Normal but are actually rooted in extreme puritanism:

-Seeing the nude human body is inherently traumatic

- Sex scenes in art are pointless

-Wearing kink-related clothing in public is the similar to performing a sex scene in front of unwilling participants

-Depicting female characters expressing sexuality is always degrading

-People's sexual fantasies are always an endorsement of the behavior they want to see in real life

-Sex work is more traumatic and coercive than other types of work

The goal is to treat sex as just another thing people do. That is a much healthier attitude than hiding it! It's not uniquely traumatic, it's not weird to talk about it or include it in society.

I finally remembered I was going to talk about the Diives cartoon. I've seen quite a few people have a condescending tone, a few people even saying that they're a drug dealer graduating to a real job, and this honestly ticks me off. NSFW art is art, and there isn't anything inherently wrong with it

I just...
Panel 1: A park. A donut truck. A red-haired white woman sitting inside the donut truck, looking relaxed. The truck is Rolling Donuts, and there are three donuts painted under the worker window, a menu with prices, text near the bottom of the truck that reads "Tastes like magic!", a big Rolling Donuts logo with donuts for "O"s (clever!) and a message that says No Trans Fats! Only there's a tiny, near-illegible "or" between "trans" and "fats", because we all know how J.K. Rowling do.

Another white lady, this one blonde in t-shirt and jeans, walks up with a brown puppy on a leash. "Oh," she says, "Rolling Donuts!"

Panel 2: The blonde lady walks up to the woman in the truck window, smiling. "We used to have these all the time when I was a kid! I loved them!

Panel 3: The woman in the truck smiles. "Wonderful," she replies. "And now, as a bonus, $2 from every donut goes towards killing dogs!"

Panel 4: The truck lady's hand motion towards a a sign, which reads "Dogs are just fake wolves! I hate them SO much! Thank you for your support in their eradication!"

Panel 5: The blonde woman holds a hand to her mouth, shocked. "Killing?" she says.

The truck lady smiles, happy. "Yup!"

Panel 6: The blonde lady turns to face her dog, stricken. 

Panel 7: The dog looks up, wagging his tail and panting.

Panel 8: The dog, realizing what is coming, lowers his tail and puts his tongue back in his mouth.

Panel 9: The lady in the truck is holding 6 dozen donuts, in neon pink and blue and the Rolling Donut logo, with text across their sides that reads "We hate dogs!"

The blonde woman is looking back at her dogs, guilt on her face. 

"...but they're just SO yummy!" she says!

Sad trombone goes here. 

That's my comic!

For a look at the most often rated games in my library, this week I'm looking at Unturned. The game dev has recently released all its source and it's free to play. But is it frequently rated because it's accessible? Or is it actually worth diving into. Let's find out: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

In general, I tend to censor myself online in a few ways, partially because everyone knows my online tag, including my family. I don't think any of them have interacted with any of my online presence, and to some extent, I don't know if I care anymore. I dunno. I'm just tired.

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.
An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.
