A goodbye written over a dark field of stars.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
""I'm fine" If you ask me that question again, I'll think you really care, and you're going to hear a terrible thing or two that might ruin your day. "Don't worry about it" I'll worry about it instead, and probably all week— Wondering what I did wrong, or what I could do so that you don't ever have to hear me apologizing again. "I’ve got a lot going on" Beneath all the labor of the year, I am busy trying to convince myself to kill myself. So, I ask for your patience, as I am also busy trying to convince myself not to kill myself. " . . . " I had to put the guns away. I sat in the dark for hours without realizing. I don't remember when I last showered. I broke down and cried on the floor again. I have been fantasizing about death. I need help." as a pale text over faces in the dark.

a) a wooden pen and case. b) a black steel pen. Both are on a wooden background.
Now that I'm a serious writer, I never leave the house without my:
a) fancy wood pen with fancy wood foldy case
b) tungsten carbide-tipped, screw-sealed, full-steel body, tactical pen

Cleaned some cobwebs out the corners of the archive. Had to crack the ol finger bones and break out some CSS, but I'm happy with it
(changes literally so inconsequential, bonus points to any brave soul who can even tell what's different)

You know, I've had dreams of all of human civilization being reduced to nothing but ash and cinder by the mere perturbations of the titanic thermonuclear reactor holding our solar system together.
Supposedly this sort of CME "superflare" cannot happen but wouldn't it be interesting if it did? ☺️

Zapped the active post tags on my blog from +600 to ~70... maybe Google will stop yelling at me now
I think it's mostly for indexing and page ranking, but I guarantee my SEO manager WILL come up with another creative way to waste an evening of mine...

a dark texture which the following poem is overlaid: ‘Sharksleep’ I have heard that sharks might die Of suffocation when they still. To no end do they wander or try And anchor against the current’s will, In search of places they may lie. Lately, When I settle down For rest well-deserved, I feel that I am drowning. Am I a shark?
if i stop i will die if i stop i will die if i stop i will die
'Sharksleep'

A dark purple forest with a poem overlaid that reads: 'Bedrot' Monday morning. Staring at the conversation, I come up with my reason Of why I won’t be showing. “Get up, damn you.” Paralyzed by all the choices, Pillow clamped over my head, Trying to drown out the voices Saying, "I wish that I were dead." "I am no one's special person." Does it matter the fire dwindles Or that it’s slowly killing me, If the truth is really That I am truly alone? "Nobody needs me." That's why I'm in here, And they're out there. "No one cares about what's happening." The world demands the energy, Of those who face the light of day. The world asks nothing of me And seems not to care if I stay. "Nobody will notice if I'm gone." Lost beneath the crushing wave, I embrace the gentle dark That asks only hours of me, Half-sleep sweeps the body away. "Everyone would be better off without me around." Trapped by a tangle of sheets, Buried until evening I lay Curled in the shaded halls of my mind, Where at least the noise is held at bay.
losing in a fight against
your own body and mind

I believe in determinism
You were always meant to pursue this path
It was merely a number of things that led you to it
Or so I believe
Either way, dope work and cool idea
Guess we need more countries publicly denouncing Zionists, illegal settlers, and the actions of the IDF and Mustafa, then...
Otherwise the killings, starvation, and bombings will continue until morale improves
are we allowed to sue big oil for ruining our society yet, or are they still doing the whole "disappearing dissidents" thing?
asking for a friend
I played a blood elf pally and mage back in my day
my pally was a super long haired dude named Phabeoh and my guild called me Phab and I was the raid crew's main-tank at a tender middle school age
my mage was a pretty but dangerous ice-magic wielding lady who obliterated nerds in PvP scenarios
we're gonna be seeing more "unprecedented" climate/geographic disaster headlines...
