Today's the day I help her recover from an accident as a human being

Today's also the day I got into one myself, and must simultaneously reject as much help as possible in return

If most of Canada had a Golden Week, this would be it, neatly bookended by Friday the 13th and the LNY

I didn't know until just now today is Flag Day, the fact was unconsciously forming in the back of my head yesterday

What better way is there to celebrate in style than with the first gold medal?

Enmeshed families recognize individuality like they recognize disputed territory as a sovereign state

Valentine's Day would be the metaphorical flag day, to be met with military exercises like criticizing the partner or stirring drama

Fucking crash already.

At least they no longer think I'm reciting some foreign interference propaganda when I call her out

The alternate to dropping even an ounce of vigilance is to re-join the psyop that there's love to be found in endless and indiscriminate rage

Meme on, meme until your memes come true

The only thing scarier than conspiracy theorists being wrong is being right

Some people like high speed rail that only stops at the extraordinary, and a station not built on top of a mass grave

Some people like conventional rail that stops everywhere, and a station in a more vibrant area

My hotel was near the former, but I spent more time in the latter

Cool name, but why are some websites referencing Amigo Beach when Orillia is closer to the epicentre?

If they really wanted a peculiar name, Lagoon City was even closer

And no, I didn't feel the earthquake 🫤

If everyone was walking around like they're in a goddamn Enya video 20 years ago, you gotta wonder how they're doing now

Welcome to a world where the blame is on immigrants, poor people, teachers and literally everyone who thinks and acts an iota different from what they want

Nothing

My final, lifelong, and only sane response when she asked what I wanted from her

No respect
No validation
No accountability
No need to change
Not even an apology

Just let her keep believing she's an infallible, morally superior person while her world keeps shrinking

In a nuclear war, the greatest privilege is to be buried in decontaminated land

The scant amount of free time from unstable people is a coveted opportunity to reflect on the loss so far

It's currently -13C/9F, -22C/-8F with wind chill

The fastest way to stop shivering in this weather is to be shirtless for one hour, at which point, you'll be tempted to stay that way, possibly for the rest of your life ❄️

Had a lot of pent up rage this week, so I took it out yesterday on my room, at work and my digestive system all at once

It was a nice day

Lost sleep after getting an earful last night

They are who they are

Probably the greatest thing I learned this year is I only have half a year left to live, because even if I live to 100+, 99% of that time will be spent placating fragile egos, unless a miracle occurs

2025, you're a real one

For every 1914, there's a 1941

It pays to know the difference

The past seven months were the most mentally unstable I've been in decades

And my room went from ~10% systematized for the past decade to 70+% in that period, full systemization within months

It's not the full extent, but if that ain't shadow work, I don't know what is

5. Decluttering feels like death (and rebirth)

All objects and systems have a life cycle in terms of usefulness and even sentimentality, so you need to be ready at any time to abandon them if your needs and priorities change so newer, more relevant and effective habits form

4. This negativity you feel while decluttering means it should not be a quick and efficient process off the bat

It needs to be slowly introduced to become a lifelong habit, otherwise it's confined to a grandiose, one-off effort that gets neglected soon after, because...

3. Boredom isn't the real challenge in the decluttering process, the real challenge is the negative emotions:
- cringe at past decisions leading up to this
- regret at not doing this sooner
- anxiety of how ugly the process looks to others
- despair it'll never be perfect

2. He’s unaware of his lifelong habit of shadow projection becoming my introjection, but exploits it anyways as it's maintained his image of power

He has no interest in empathy, seeking the truth, learning from or even admitting any wrongdoing

As such, he'll never learn that...

Well shit.

The word "cyber", something I learned when I played many years ago

Happy Cyber Monday!

Unless you play Neopets where that word is banned, then happy Monday!

Way to make weekends suck again, Cass

Especially this one, and the next dozen or so

Happy Black Friday!

Too bad I blew it all last Thursday

I'm ready to own nothing (in my bank account... mostly) and be happy (for real)
