Nearly finished Absolution. It has been a wild ride and not at all what I was expecting as a coda to the southern reach trilogy.
Those books are very dear to me and the wrinkles that absolution revelations put in the narrative (and my brain) will take a while for me to digest.

Next is Echopraxia

Having imposter syndrome about my own trauma and neurodivergence is fuckin wild...

"No im like....fine. All the shit i went through is totally not a big deal and my breathing is fine stop worrying abt it."

Even tho I'm shouting into a relative void here...its strangely nice to be able to engage in social media outside discord again. I haven't really had a platform I felt okay with publicly speaking on ever since I essentially blank slated my entire life nearly a year ago.

My beautiful, feral boy.

"Is he, you know..."

"...gay?"

Telling her that mitch brain might be dying slowly so that she becomes so wet it raises the ambient humidity of the room.

Going from "Comic shop employee in a metropolitan area" to, "Working in the south at an oilwell fabrication company while my mind slowly melts into a colorless puddle of anxiety" is certainly a weird pit stop in this liminal phase of my life

Whats the character limit for posts? Can I just go ham?

Careful how you answer. It only takes the barest amount of validation to transition me from "Guy who platforms his hyperfixations" to "Yet another white guy with a podcast"

when a leftist brings out the phrase “deeply unserious” to describe someone that is the closest we can come to admitting we want a person dead

Currently my only active social media in which I'm not a scaled rabbit full of exhaustion and anger.
