I feel like I should do something to introduce myself on this space but I also just got off an 8 hr barista shift and am “le tired”

So I first will take a nap. Then fire the missiles.

Did I mention I have ADHD?

Don’t point to other situations. Don’t rationalize. Don’t try and find a silver lining. Just stop. Listen.

Because I guarantee that human being is grieving. And you—yes you—have an opportunity to affirm their humanity and show them the acceptance others are not. (2/2)

If someone you know identifies with a marginalized community with which you do not also identify, AND then they say they feel discriminated against by xyz process, you need to listen. Full stop. (1/2)

Reading Ultimate Level 1 and I have to give the author some credit for the Buck Toothed Beaver Inn & Tavern. As someone who frequents Buccees often on road trips, it made me smile.

The highly anticipated 5th book in a prominent series by my favorite author comes out tomorrow...

And PhD application due dates are rapidly approaching (one in a few days and then a few more over the next few weeks).

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! How do I read for fun but also apply?

Started my reread of #RhythmofWar by #BrandonSanderson to get ready for the release of #WindandTruth.

Life before death.

Here we go!

Picked #Baldur'sGate3 back up tonight. This game is so good.

The Tier-10 Tournament arc of #PathofAscension has to be my favorite #LitRPG arc yet. So good. So much lore. All the yes.
December 1, 2024 at 2:14 AM
So true. It’s awesome.
November 27, 2024 at 10:18 PM
That’s part of what I’m enjoying. Looking forward to see how it plays out.
November 27, 2024 at 8:48 PM
I’m so here for confusing. Haha. Looking forward to it.

Just started reading Path of Ascension by C. Mantis. I’m on book 4. #LitRPG #BookSky what kind of ride am I in for? Let’s hear your opinions.

Perusing the works of and about Mircea Eliade has me all kinds of excited about future study.

And like, I’m sitting in the theater watching it and thinking, “The nation has loved this show for 20 years and yet… look where we are.”

Forget Elphaba. Give us Oz.

Woe to those who spurn what goodness they are shown. No one mourns the wicked.

One of the biggest movies of the year is about a marginalized woman realizing that her government is actually a sham and run by a fascist.

She stands up and is vilified while her mainstream/popular best friend capitulates to the regime and gains prestige.

Let that sink in for a minute.

Nothing like getting off a zoom with one of the main profs for the program I’m pursuing and feeling highly encouraged by the feedback he provided.

Gotta knock the application out of the park!
November 20, 2024 at 9:07 PM
Had a phone call with a friend who is already in the PhD program at the top of my list.

She's helping me make sure my application is as strong as it can be.

Honestly, I'm so thankful for those in my life who keep cheering me on even when I don't believe them.

Alright #LitRPG #BookSky, what’s your favorite LitRPG trope?

What about least favorite?
November 19, 2024 at 2:44 PM
Wife and I finally got around to watching 3 Body Problem on Netflix while our little one is with her grandparents visiting family.

Y’all, good speculative fiction asks us to ponder the divine. This show is good spec. fic.

I need to read the books.

add being on bluesky to the other list of things evangelicals are making up as sins

My prayers are with y’all. Truly a loss to your community, I’m sure.

I’m at the Texas Board of Ed opposing the Christo-Fascist curriculum they’re debating. They say that the curriculum has no evangelizing purpose, but then we were greeted with this showing. 1/2

Can I just say that I've spent the last 90ish minutes drafting my statement of purpose for PhD applications and I am STOKED about the research I want to do.

Y'all, like I am so excited. More to come later, obviously. Here's hoping to a fruitful application season.

Thanks, brother. I eventually was able to take my Vyvanse and get stuff done. But sheesh the two hours I spent in bed were felt.

But I keep telling myself that I needed that time for my mental health so that I remain energized to dominate the other time I am working.

Just can't shake the anxiety

Having ADHD and depression can sometimes look like lying in bed for two hours telling yourself to get up and get started with your day only to brush that off and keep lying there.

My meds are only a few steps away but my brain can’t be bothered.

Hard start to the morning. #mentalhealth
