my last two brain cells trying to keep it all together
My year of Spotify just ended and I'm back on the free membership.

Oh my god, how did it become worse?

I can't scrub songs on the free version? I can't jump back to the beginning? What the fuck

The Cali / San Francisco Human Services Agency keeps surprising me. If you suffered from the blackout, they will reimburse your food stamps!

Call (855) 355-5757 if that applies to you
The great thing about food stamps is, when a citywide emergency like a blackout happens, you can just re-buy the food you lost from your deactivated fridge. So it doesn't hurt as much.

Honestly, still hurts to throw away so much food.

Next year I really need to figure out the holidays.

Since moving from Texas, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and my birthday kind of just became any other day. Feels like something that needs to be fixed.

It's tough to be definitive because, due to an unfortunate time in my life, I have played so few games this year…

But I just finished Wanderstop and I think it's my game of the year.

My true Christmas wish - the thing I hold most hopeful in my heart - is that each and every one of you has a better 2026 than you had in 2025. May the fates be generous and kind and you all receive the blessings you all so richly deserve. Merry Christmas and much love to you all.

Free small coffee at Peets!

No need for a membership or a credit card. Walk in, ask for a small coffee, walk out

Maybe a hot take but we need to make more _original_ Christmas songs ⛄

I like the old school songs, I like the older covers, I like the newer covers, but we've gone too far when there's club remixes of Joy to the World on the supermarket playlist.

I started uploading all the older stuff I've made to YouTube. They gathered dust on a Google Drive, might as well.

I made my unlisted Rooster Teeth announcement from April 2020 public and started getting views…

Apparently folks think this is a newly made vid and RT *just* hired me 😬😅😬

Thinking over Christmas I might completely wipe my ROG Ally X and install SteamOS.

IN THEORY Windows/Bazzite should be the best option but it's all too fiddly. I think I just need to move forward and don't look back.

Do you have a favorite website platform?

As I apply for MinnMax's PA position, I realize my portfolio is just a single squarespace that, albeit built beautifully, isn't worth $23 or even $16/month

I'm a developer so I can just make something but interested in cheap but good WYSIWYG recommendations

I realized I'm too attached to my phone and computer because there's a city-wide blackout in San Francisco and, without solid phone service, I'm bored out of my got damn mind

I was gonna start Dispatch today 😭
