Hello, new guy here! I’m Mat, a BFA Creative Writing student at Full Sail University from Kansas City with a lifelong passion for storytelling. I’ve explored this passion as an actor, a gamer, a reader, even an indie pro wrestler!
Not sure how to round this out, so here’s a picture of my cat, Kevin!

I’ve struggled to stay active here, I think because I haven’t quite figured out who or how to fill it with my quirks and nerd stuff. 😂
If you’d care to check my profile & give me some recs or be mutuals or something, I’d appreciate the help! Anything to support competition from Elon’s bird app 😂

“My rent is too damn high.”
People are pissed. At both parties. Especially young folks who’ve been priced out, locked out, and left behind.
2026 is shaping up to be an anti-incumbent revolt. The politicians who win won’t be the ones pushing culture war garbage…

BREAKING: LAPD didn’t just “detain” someone. They surrounded him, beat him, and jumped him — like a gang. On camera. On horses. While he screamed for help. Unarmed. Cornered. Alone.
If that’s not state violence, what the fuck is?

I wish I used this app more. Problem is, I still haven’t quite figured out how to get the most out of it. Anyone with tips for more engaging finagling of the algorithm or something?

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.
It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse.

Texas bill could punish bookstores for 'obscene' books
A new bill in the Texas Legislature, authored by Rep. Nate Schatzline, would allow businesses to be held liable if a minor reports damages from "obscene" books.

I feel like all my soapbox rants are going on the wrong app. This place is receptive to incendiary, albeit nuanced conversation, right? 😂
Right…? 😅
I’d love to stay strictly posting about nerd shit and my writing work, but unfortunately, I’m a young American in 2025.

I have been struggling to sleep at night for days now, caught up doomscrolling and battling the overwhelming sense of hopelessness. Angry, fearful, and incredibly sad about the state of things, and dumbfounded as to how this is really happening.
What do you do to resist the urge to surrender?

Sometimes I struggle just going through the day, knowing what’s going on in the States and countries unfortunate enough to be involved with us over the last decade, now.
I just can’t help but being mad at the stuff that I see every single day, and feeling like there’s nothing I can do.
Relatable?

Been sick this weekend so I finally read Mistborn and it was SO good! My takeaways:
Allomancy is going to be a tough magic system to beat!
Vin and Kelsier are by far my favorite characters
Brandon really drug out that climax! I could hardly sit still in my chair!
Overall, great read. 👍

Hot take?
Dark Souls isn’t hard, it just doesn’t hold players hands in ways they’re used to, and the adjustment to this is the hardest thing about the game.

So one of my friends and I have finally been trying to finish Baldur’s Gate 3, and in the times I’ve tried playing by myself, I simply can not do ANYTHING if combat is involved. I get stuck on so many fights.
Does anyone else suffer from this? What could the reason be? How do I solve this? Help! 😂

Thank God for laptops because without mine, entire mornings would be forfeit to my cat who decides at 10 am to completely immobilize me by snuggling in my lap until the afternoon.

I couldn’t believe it. This really gave me a sense of what it’s like for non-Chiefs fans watching them win all these games this season. Glad I’m with the Kingdom 😂

- Dark Souls/Elden Ring
- Skyrim
- Nintendo
- A:TLA
- GoT
- RDR2
- plenty more, but that seems fine for now 😂
