I would really love to stop feeling like a failure. I know that the ultimate failure is to stop trying. But I feel like I'm too tired to even try that. And then I get stuck in this spiral of if I'd only tried harder before. I'm exhausted.

I've been playing Metaphor Re-Fantazio, because what better way to cope with the horrors of the world than by saving a fictional one? This game is so fucked up. In a Grimm's Fairy Tales kind of way. It's horribly awesome. This is also now a Heismay stan account, tysm.

I was burned out on RPDR for awhile, and recently realized I missed it. So I've been catching up with season 14. The absolute robbery I just witnessed. How does someone lip syncing to the background singers win the episode??? Over KERRI??? Nooooooo ma'am.

Really over this feeling that my house and my body are falling apart 🥲 I'm so tired of being tired, and being pain free for a few months was so nice. I can't handle it being back again.

Saw a headline today saying pretty much anything east of the Rockies is Tornado Alley now. These weather systems are wreaking havoc on me via migraines & anxiety, but I'm glad that, so far, the Appalachians have been decent tornado protection.

My boss has received some comments from bigots that the paint test patches I put on our windows might be a political statement 🙄 they were gradients from purple to blue to test the paint behavior. So now I have to be extra careful about not putting potential flags on the window.

When the Signal WH bullshit happened, I immediately made the BUT HER EMAILS!!! joke. What I wasn't expecting was my dad screenshotting a post from my mom, posting it, tagging her, & saying she can't be upset because she wasn't mad about said emails. Should have expected it. Still a disappointment.

I really think it should bother more ppl that not only is generative AI built on theft AND a breeding ground for misinformation, but it ALSO uses insane amounts of energy to generate any response (particularly image generators) the earth is so important and I just think that should give ppl pause

Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check. What I’m saying is we can go harder.

screenshot that reads Elon Musk almost needed SFPD wellness check after ‘breakdown,’ getting booed at Dave Chappelle show ‘He got to a point where he locked himself in his office, was so upset’ that Twitter employees feared he would hurt himself, the author of a new book says about the billionaire

Yesterday was terrifying due to three wildfires breaking out around me. All controlled and going out now, thankfully. Today, I feel better than I have in a long time, and I think it's due to spending two hours reading. The break in the real life horror is so important.

I want to get back into writing, especially since I'm paying for 4thewords (2648 day streak wooooo), but the idea of working on my novel is too much. Time to find some prompts for short stories, I think.

Woke up terrified of hurricane season. SOMEONE decided it was a good idea to fire a bunch of folks involved in weather prediction. I was lucky the hurricane last year passed us over. At this rate, the only way to know if a deadly storm happened is a post from a shocked tourist in a decimated town.

VEILGUARD IS ALREADY FREE ON PS OMG this is so annoying 😂 I don't ACTUALLY regret buying it, because I find regret to be a waste of time, but that $150 would be real nice right now! What a disappointment of a game. Still. Four months later.

I’m in December 18, 1860, going through each day of news during the secession crisis, and I can tell you that all of the same tactics and coping mechanisms you are trying now are being used by Northerners and none of them work. None. White people do not change.

I hate being challenged; RSD sucks, but it's on me to manage. So when I unknowingly posted a hoax, I spent time reminding myself that the person who pointed it out doesn't hate me. But they challenged me again today, I spent so much time writing a response, & they deleted their comment. Sir. 😐

The state of Louisiana has decided to stop promoting mass vaccinations, & I'm sure my state is next. Folks here act like a flu shot comes from a weapon. I should have done this years ago, I know that, but it's time for a cute, reusable respirator. I could be out here looking like a sexy carpenter.

Let them eat cake this Valentine's Day with this sugary sweet historical fiction story from Pigeon about two lovers transgressing their social classes for the purest reason of all: Eating Pussy. www.ohjoysextoy.com/something-sw...

Something Sweeter by Pigeon, published February 11, 2025 on ohjoysextoy.com/something-sweeter-pigeon

With a color palette of muted maroons, beiges, pinks, browns, and teal, Pigeon illustrates this Rocco comic with delicate, lacy details.

Page 1:
A four-poster bed with heavy burgundy curtains sits in an opulent room with expensive-looking furniture that are reminiscent of the Marie Antoinette days. Lady sleepily opens her eyes in her big soft bed.

She has flowing, long and dark hair, styled into an extravagant rococo-style hairdo.
Big eyes with long eyelashes and a dreamy gaze. Soft lips with a hint of smile and a few beauty spots on her face. The noticeable features are also her well-pronounced cheekbones and nose. Tall and slender, and her skin is dark and smooth.

She wears white stockings tied with blue ribbons and shiny blue shoes adorned with bows. On her neck we can see a sheer lace choker decorated with a string of pearls. Similar irregular pearls are visible in her earrings and decorating her hair.

"Cake, mylady?" Asks her maid as she offers her an ornate tray with four suggestive teal cakes displayed on it. Each palm-size cake is a teal half-sphere with light pink icing decorating the base and a twirled dollop of dark pink icing on top, resembling four colorful breasts presented on a tray beneath the apron-clad ample bosom of the maid.

The perspective moves to the opposite side of the room, where we see the Lady regarding the maid hungrily from her bed and, in the foreground, we now see that the curvy maid is ONLY wearing her apron, leaving her backside entirely exposed to us. The big loose bow made by the apron strings brushes against her full curvy figure.

She is a mix of auburn and brown, braided and neatly pinned up, crowned with a white maid band on the top of her head. A multitude of freckles cover her face and arms, complementing her warm complexion.

My dad and I have had maybe...one conversation a year for the past decade or so. He's still hanging around my mom's Facebook, saying she's in an echo chamber. He just commented to me on one of her posts that I'm also in one. Which, okay, whatever.

It took most of my shift for my brain to write up an "out of office" sign, tack it on my head, and peace out. I am a body operating on auto pilot, see you in four years, maybe? (See you tomorrow, remember to EAT despite fascism. I knew I should have had breakfast.)

There are very few elected officials who merit our support; AOC is one for the moment. I hope she stays so.

This morning, my brain decided to get real fixated on reading. I've been wanting to read again, but I often get distracted or feel guilty for being "lazy." So I was stoked my brain got on board! Unfortunately, all my brain wants is The Hunger Games. Psychic damage is inevitable today, apparently.

My appointment yesterday went well. Got out with a birth control prescription, picked that up today, we're gonna try that and revisit in a couple months. I'm slightly concerned that we're on such a conservative plan, but endo really is the worst and if all I need is birth control to manage, awesome.

Uterus has started the next battle. Doctor's appointment is tomorrow. Very worried, knowing I shouldn't expect much but really hoping for help. I don't know which worries me more, the pain or being dismissed. On the bright side, finally playing FFXVI with my partner and having a great time 💙

Going to the doctor in a month for endo cramps so severe I'm in tears, even after too many pain killers and so much weed. And who the fuck knows if they'll believe me, or if I'll even get help because birth control might not exist in two months 🙃 I hate it here.

I've realized that my Veilguard disappointment is tied up with election disappointment. I let myself believe Harris had a chance. She lost, & that was one of the longest days I've ever lived. Then this morning while cooking, I realized I finished Veilguard YESTERDAY. It's only been a day.

Unusual coping mechanism for the next four years: watching ANTM through @luxeria.bsky.social on YouTube. I grew up watching it & it gave me so many body issues; watching someone confidently point out the impossible standards & body shaming I naively internalized is healing.

Open my email to do prep for my show tonight. Got 2 from "Kamala HQ" titled "is there anything we can say?" & "please let us explain." Surprising no one, they're just fundraising emails & explain nothing 😂 God, I hate this place. "We want to acknowledge your pain/sadness! Give us money!" Nah.
