I don't lack love in my life. I have a lot of it, and I generate plenty of it for others around me. Why isn't this enough for us to live on, though? Why must we have something other than love to sustain our existence?

I'm looking forward to having a career that involves less masking than I'm used to.
I don't think it's possible for me to totally have a masking-free line of work.
And no, I'm not working in sales or whatever. I've been an engineer for 15 years.

I think I might have sent the meanest message of my life today.

Oh, god dammit... the consequences of my own choices have arrived. Fuck.

A day or two after the election, I told my republican parents I'm no longer their son.
Not a single day has gone by in which I felt any regret for this.

Studying the Spanish revolution of 1936.
It's amazing what these people achieved without the structure that a state traditionally provides.

Seasonal affective disorder got me studying serotonin
Serotonin is such a weirdo.
It's a neurotransmitter, but 90% of it is produced in our intestines.
Famously, too much or too little of it can each kill libido.
Our skin literally photosynthesizes it, too. Which is why I need moAr sunshine.

My Facebook account turns 20 years old this year... I think the only thing really stopping me from killing the account is events.

Seasonal depression has me hunting, starving for dopamine again.
I've got to make sure that my relationships don't suffer for this. Can't treat the people I love like dopamine dispensers. Must find other sources of validation.
Maybe if I just keep short-form shitposting, that'll do it.

Christians in America will call you a utopian for studying communist and anarchist writers, then turn around and quote you bible verses about heaven.

A message from one lover in particular
Just realized I still had an active feeld account I haven't checked in a while.
I honestly don't have a use for it.
Once you make enough actual friends, nature does its thing and you start to realize you're not actually as alone as you might think. Even if you're not partnered.
Go outside.
