I grew up with political discussions and pop culture. Both are in my blood.

If empathy makes me a snowflake, beware: winter is coming.

I'm stillinhere on YT. I make Minecraft videos for now. Will probably expand in time.
Hello, this is Pyra's oldest son. Unfortunately, last month, on June 15th, she was found dead in her home. She was 10 days away from turning 52.

Local news comments are just dozens of “Use live bullets!” What makes this country great? I ain’t seeing it.

There will be people who will smugly try to take credit. That’s what I know about my life. Someone always wants to make me a mere satellite of their life. But this one thing is mine. A thing I arranged a long time ago. This is all mine. No one else made this happen. Just me.

I want to see one more thunderstorm. Use everything up. Then go. That’s all.

I gave myself unpaid leave to recover from my heart issues. I should be panicking about finances. Funny enough, I’m not. It’s actually uncomfortable to feel okay about life. Healing from a lifetime of suffering is nice, but weird. Being human is weird. I should just be good. Lol

I’m now convinced I cannot switch to day shift. I think my circadian rhythm has always been an in between mess. Maybe I should just stop trying to rejoin the say club.

My dad died in 2001. He was being brain-napped by Limbaugh and the likes before that. He used to argue politics with me and tried to be open-minded. I tried to be open-minded back, which was still possible then. I think he’d have lost the cult-battle though. I have imaginary arguments with him now.

It was always performative outrage.

Well, it’s been a couple months now, and I am convinced I will never acclimate to day shift life. Heh. I know I need more time, but wow, my sleep schedule still sucks! I highly recommend not going night shift. Ever.

I think I can finally say I have nearly fully recovered from my last job. It took about 5 weeks. Anyway, I got in some play time and video editing. Here’s what I’m up to this week:

I knew things would get hellishly bad. I kinda thought we’d go from 0 to bombs and miss the build-up. I actually hate this build-up more. Hope is dangerous. I still have hope. But the overwhelming news is that more battles are being lost than won.

The new phrase: “History may not repeat, but it rhymes” is quite true.
History always has a lesson.

Those who used to scream about invasive laws and how “if you have nothing to hide, you’ll be fine” was a terrible, slippery slope are now using that very phrase to justify the admin.’s violations.

Watched a streamer who is a younger genz yesterday. Can confirm “woke” is the new gamer replacement for the old “gay.” So just shock value. A couple chatters seemed to be trying to steer the discussion toward a political anti-woke theme, the rest just kinda were making fun of it being political.

I swear to fucking gods, if I hear someone else whine about how THEIR reason for protest isn’t as pure and miserable as MY reason for protesting, I’m going to fucking puke. We’re all pissed. We have to act now and later you can bring on the oppression olympics tears.

And I still can’t switch from nights to days. How long is this going to take?

This is it. This is where America ends.

Also, if my generation could tap into its reputation for being dangerous when poked, that’d be great…

I am having trouble divining whether some gen z streamers are using “woke” ironically or as a replacement for the shock value “gay” of the last couple decades. Or if they really want a fascist, bigoted world…

I saw the Trending Videos title, but my mind deleted the “Tr” and I sorta bugged out a bit, thinking the videos below were the end of the accounts.

Well, the maga trolls are back. Let’s see just how long these people can actually “go without buying anything from China.” This’ll be fun! /s

Not gonna lie, I took out the supplemental savings I had to try to reintegrate to day shift life, but it is hard. And I have been living like each day is my last for 4 days now.
