I'm new here because my favourite app is leaving so I'll be posting random things. Nonsense. Just what my brain conjures. Also chronic fatigue so I'll forever complain about being tired.

Utterly insane that some people want to shrink the breadth of their life experiences this aggressively because of their extremely narrow definition of what it means to be a man. The whole unga bunga alpha male personality is just broadcasting how insecure you are to the world.

I finished multiple books.
Somehow I'm semi-functional despite experiencing what I believe to be my most severe burnout. Maybe I've had it worse & I just blocked it out because my brain blocks out a lot anyway 😂😂😂
I performed 4 times. Drag performances.

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.
Individual links below but it’s all on itch: danifinn.itch.io

My nephew had 3 costume changes for Christmas.
Yes, I'm calling them costume changes instead of outfit changes because he was the star of Christmas. Being the only baby will do that. And by baby, I mean infant. Toddlers are a separate category. There was a single toddler present too.

I'm going to a cat's birthday party on Monday so I'm going gift shopping for this cute baby.
Cat's name is Kiki.
Going to get her a toy & some treats.
Then some treats for my dog too.

Every now and then I remember that penis transplants are a thing that exist.
Why does my brain remind me of this? Who knows but it just does.

For real. 2025 was trash. Writing it off. It didn't count. 2026 is a do-over year.

Nevermind, I'm with my aunt & it's not so bad even with my nephew sleeping. He's so cute though. I wish babies didn't need to sleep so often. I know, they're growing but I want to play & watch them be fascinated with everything.

Also just having the worst time because the misgendering is killing me. Once my nephew goes down for a nap, what am I going to do? I forgot my book. I don't have my baby sister to lean on.
I don't know this house or the hosts, met them today, so like... I'm stuck. My brother is no help.

If I wasn't so burnt out this year I probably would've planned my own meal. But my brain is operating on like 30% when it comes to tasks required for my survival. Cooking is impossible right now. I couldn't even plan my mom's Christmas present. I usually do it. This year I made my brother do it.
So I never have food at family things. Which again, whatever, I'm happy to bring my own but when people ask they make me think they'll consider it so I'd be the asshole if I showed up assuming the worst. I really should just start assuming the worst.

Had to go out to buy food because as usual, nobody ever accommodates the only vegan in the family. Which, fine but I'd rather we not say anything & then I can show up with my own food. Nobody, besides my gran who isn't hosting this year, ever asks the difference between vegan & vegetarian.

Anyway, merry Christmas to all who celebrate. And let's hope 2026 is kinder to us all.

It's Christmas but it doesn't feel like it because it's the first Christmas without my baby sister.
She's in Guatemala. It's not the same without her. I'm sure my mom's having an even harder time. That's her baby. She was very upset when my sister told her she wouldn't be home for Christmas.

i believe the problem with most tech is capitalism and not the underlying tech. things can be fixed, improved, iterated upon, but not when the only driving motivator is profit. if we designed things with regard to our fellow humans and our world first, it wouldn't be this way.

Tw/suicide, autism things
The more I research autism, the more I'm understanding so much about myself & my youth. I didn't think I'd live to see 25 because I've been having what I call "the bad thoughts" aka suicidal ideation for so long. It goes away but always comes back.

The ceasefire is a farce. Palestinians continue to be targeted in Gaza and illegal settler activity ramps up in West Bank.

I miss my baby sister so much. She's away for work & she's been gone since September. I'll only see her next year. She's having fun & she's always wanted to travel for work so this is her dream & I'm so happy for her. Still miss her so much though. That's my sister.

More ideas. We’re not going to run out of ideas but generative AI is a tool for people who don’t want to be involved in the step between idea and art. People whose own ideas will never evolve or become more complex because they don’t actually want to interact with or examine them.
