Honestly, just thinking on my own personal issues in conjunction with the issues at large is becoming a bit trying. The stress is acting as sort of a dampening field for any sort of passions I'd think to explore. That said, I'm attempting to correct it by forcing myself to do more of them.

Made a new connection a few days ago. We talked a good bit the first day. Yesterday, ended up talking for like 7-8 hours on a Discord call. Honestly, something I have really needed. As I've unfortunately gotten in the habit of being anti-social again. Current life events sort of derailed me.

In the interest of time. I've decided not to pursue clock making. For I feel things could get out of hand if I made that my hobby.

Why Worry

Been on a certain kind of musical kick as of late. Honestly, been making me feel a lot better.

A question I ask far too often.

Good afternoon! (I just saw this so Morning passed me by. Whoops.) May the goddess favor you this day.

Just need to get on ADHD meds again. As I feel my ADHD has really been holding me back from sticking to things. Despite a passion for what interests me. Been looking up some writing classes and considering improv. Which sort of ties into things I want to create on Twitch.

Hooray, I have an interview with Best Buy soon. Been shooting for things a little outside my wheelhouse but nothing panned out. Figure I'd try for some retail positions. Very least, I'm done with food service for a while.

Regardless, going to start focusing on learning new skills outside of work.

Wishing I were sleepy. My brain is too busy thinking about too many things. I'm great overall though! Having a good night. Currently petting my dog, Sparrow. So that always makes a night better.

Yeah, been working towards that for ages. Happy to finally be on it. Now just playing the waiting game for changes to arrive. lol

As far as why I'm trying for LOTRO. Recently regained access to my account that had a lifetime subscription. Which would be quite the benefit.

Ooooh, amazing news. Started Progesterone. Plus, reupped my estrogen for a year. Though only got a refill for 3 months of course. So hopefully I get something with insurance sooonish.

In more fun news, started playing Guild Wars Reforged. Though, it scratched a bit of an itch. Thinking about playing LOTRO potentially. Have some want to play an MMO as of late. Which, Guild Wars is but it scratches the itch in its own way. So looking for something in addition to it.

That said, it was like 5 days before Christmas. Which was about as shitty a time as possible. As well, right before my monthly expenses would have been lower. I was pissed at the time and still am somewhat miffed. Feels like they were just looking for a reason to let me go.

Sort of bad news though for the return. Was recently let go after close to 5 years. Went from no write ups in 5 years to 2 in a month. Technically, the last write ups stated reason went against company policy. As it was for call outs. Thought about appealing but I just really am over working there.

how are you?! :3 Also, thanks for the warm welcome. lol It was unexpected but made my night.

Thinking of utilizing an existing game system with my own setting for the campaign. A little more work but sort of comes full circle. As I started roleplaying originally as a way to work on characters and the like. So my friends interactions with the setting will inform how it evolves.

Me when I post on my dust covered account. Also, hi!

Oh, wow, longtime no see Bluesky. Hope you all are great. (All things considered.) I'm living with some roommates now. Which has been a boon to my sanity. As well, a creative boon as well. Currently writing a campaign for us to play through. So excited about that. Doing research into locales atm.

Tried to make some sort of playlist that captured the feeling I had earlier. It was during a late night drive in the middle of nowhere. Tried to keep a similar tone for the songs far as sound goes. Overall, I'm quite happy with it.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

It's been a lot of fun writing out the concept, creating the location, and some of the characters. Very inspired by a mix of noire and occult. With a bit of cyberpunk and low scifi thrown in. As the era would be on an Earth facing extreme climate change and basically another ice age.

In other news, been sort of toying around with and expanding a setting I've been working on for a bit. The kernel of an idea started as sort of concept for a video game. Though used the opportunity to explore an aspect of a pre-existing group in universe. Specifically my take on blood magic.

Cable News

Been sort of going through it the past few months. That said, been on a new music kick. Just found this song and band the other day. Been on heavy rotation as of late. So wanted to share it.

This 4th of July, l didn’t feel so patriotic. That’s ok. It’s a tough time.

Our orange clown signed into law a bill that removes Medicaid from many. He protected his oligarchs while forcing the meekest among us to suffer.

All I want is to be proud of my country, but as of today, I’m not. 😢

A new mural in France depicting Lady Liberty covering her face in shame was unveiled one day before America's Independence Day.

Honestly, trying my best to keep stable. But, part of me just really wants not to be in the US anymore. Obviously, impossible for me to leave for various reasons. Just really at odds with what it's become and the people who cheer it on. My family included.

Dune is pretty great. Though, I definitely need to find people to play with. Likely would increase my enjoyment a fair bit. Currently I'm setting up a small public base to help people in Hagga Basin. (Myself included, as I died to a worm and forgot to reset my respawn. lol)
