For me, 2025 will be the year that I sat on a park bench, read the sentence "what she is doing is abuse", and shattered my entire concept of what kind of love I deserved.
It was the year I found my strength and freed myself.
The path from here is hard.

Dear @steampowered.com :
Parental controls do not extend to a games' news feed.
As such, my child cannot have Chuchel on his PC, because the developer used the Chuchel Steam feed to advertise their new horror title through the use of graphically violent videos.
Please look over this oversight.

I spent a day and a half optimizing my resume for a perfect-fit job before sending it off in time for the Friday deadline.
Early Monday morning they email me, and want me to interview. Not with HR, but with the actual team.
This job would be a game-changer. I'm going to make sure I'm prepared.

Been a while since i said it. So i'll say it again. If your parents don't love you. If your family doesn't love you. That's not on you. It's not your responsibility to make people love you. Or care for you. That's a them thing. Not a you thing. You define if you're worthy of love or not.

Mostly I’ve been focusing on trying to keep my space fun and happy, a refuge for those who need a break from the world, and I feel screaming into the void isn’t gonna help every time something like this happens. It’s stressful constantly focusing on the bad.

I have things to say.
I am aware of what’s happening right now. And it makes me furious. I hate this is where we are right now.
But also, I have nothing to contribute to solutions regarding this issue. I don’t want my feed to be nothing but political anger.

This is the exact same energy as the right demanding that they stop being called "weirdos."
In other words, they're pissed because the term is accurate and, more importantly, because it's *working* on the general populace.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

Nintendo focusing on $20-30 roguelike DLCs that reward hundreds of hours of grinding and play optimization has made me realize how much my play style has changed over the years.
I used to be the sort of person whom this content was made for, but I'm prioritizing new experiences over total mastery.

Any club that survives the first outing being truly awful has found exactly the right group of people to be a good club.
My friends and I have started a book club and our first book was my choice so I picked something that sounded fun....
The book was awful I FEEL BAD FOR MAKING THEM READ IT LOL

Talk about your books, and talk about the books you love. Almost all of the books I read now are from people posting about them on Bluesky. I'll also often pick something up after seeing it discussed on Reddit, and on rare occasions someone I know will rec a book to me privately.

You, specifically.
You deserve to take up space. To ask for help from your friends when your heart hurts. To share your joy at your triumphs at full volume. To live as the most authentic version of your self, no matter what other people think.

Super Princess Peach (the DS game, not Showtime) had, as a reward for 100% completion, the ability to use your powers without expending Vibe.
The problem is that 100% in that game is so comprehensive that there's literally nothing novel left to enjoy after doing it. You're simply done playing.
