I never want to be in the position, at 31 years old, to ask around femme friends, "I might need someone to accompany me to a biopsy that I can't set a date/time for just yet."

It's weird for me to say, being 3 episodes into Satoshi Kon's PARANOIA AGENT, is that it makes a great double-feature watch with Pixar's #WinOrLose.

Looks like I'm booked tomorrow to background-act in my favorite REDACTED copaganda.

“I can make room somewhere in my executive dysfunction to start the PARANOIA AGENT anime. C’mon, do it for the late Satoshi Kon!”

Uh-huh, hallucinatory headspaces of psychological torment exacerbated by an external terror, a mysterious kid serial killer…

Primary care: "I recommended you get your mammogram on the same day of biopsy."

"The radiology department told me they can't do them on the same day."

I better not like get my period during my first mammogram! And I don't want to reschedule cause appointments ARE HARD.

Texted a friend to see if we can make a plan to see #Highest2Lowest together in theaters.

"God I hope I get it. I hope I get it. How many people do they need?"

Yes, I am an available background Asian for whatever shoot this is.

In a manner of speaking, STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS is the first STAR TREK series I've "completed."

I think to buy myself a chocolate chip cookie at Lidl. I wanted a treat and reward for walking so far. But when I get home, it taste like sweet sawdust. Maybe I'm getting old.

Ah yes, all you have to do is look into the personal and production drama of STAR TREK and that's material. #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds

I'm honestly conflicted. I mean,

"Oh no, Mr. Russell!"

But then,

"I also support Patrick Page's wrongs." #TheGildedAge

I was watching #TheGildedAge through my roommate’s Prime Video w/ Max subscription with no audio issues, and I’m getting word other non-Spanish-speaking watchers were forced to watch the Spanish dub or something.

So, er, what do we do? Do we urge our Illinois neighbors to like, call Governor JB Pritzker's office to really make sure he's paying the bills/fines of the Texas Democrats who fled to break quorum so Greg Abbott can't redraw the lines?

I'm throwing things out and seeing what sticks!

Sooooo, I guess #TheGildedAge writers decided to smash open the “ARSENAL” box of soap melodrama.

Man, why is everyone breaking up with Patrick Page? #GildedAge

I really don't like that "fled" has to be the headline jargon for what Texas House Dems are doing as an anti-gerrymandering, Abbott-gerrymandering-repellant. "Fled" doesn't load the context automatically.

Nextdoor app users definitely trying to jumpstart their anti-Mamdani movement, framing it (the very cynical) as rejection as "extremism, socialism, antisemitism [again, cynical]"

How long til capitalistic-aligned media and op-eds somehow fault Zohran Mamdani for that 2-3 second earthquake I just felt?

Uh, I was in bed watching STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS when I heard and felt a rumbling. My body on the mattress felt it jiggled slightly and the walls seem to shiver.

Uh, another NYC earthquake?

I consider myself a fan of ONE PIECE... and I have not fielded even a significant fraction of the anime, manga, and theatrical films. I have to fight executive dysfunction to even continue it.

I'm a fan of STAR TREK, Original and Next Generation, but it's one of those gargantuan franchises where I have to fight my executive dysfunction to marathon to finish lines. Otherwise, I'm finishing STRANGE NEW WORLDS cause it's a portion ongoing & digestible enough to bypass executive dysfunction.

I have to be careful to move around in the living room in the dark cause a new roommate has this adorable black cat, Marceline (named after the Vampire Queen).

Hahahah, that's adorable for Carlos Diehz (yes. Vincent from Conclave). Also, I'm not going to speak the lyrics cause we're already all thinking it.

Wonderful, I set my doctor's-recommended mammogram much earlier! I better get the needed biopsy sooner too.

Among the personal omens in my life was the death of my roommate's dear cat, Oliver James, who got taken from us a by cancer. I could not process the quickness from the diagnosis to his death.
