re: Summary of a Wickerbeast's Adventure, Pt. 6 + 

Rounded out my day by reading 160 pages from page 48 to 208 of Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan. I've been reading the trilogy books in reverse order and it's been an interesting experience.

I recommend the author's works, he seems to be pro LGBT, and it's a breath of fresh air.

The cake dinged, and after a few minutes of settling, I took it out of the oven and the tin, and covered it in chocolate peanut butter as a topping. The residual heat really made the topping molten and so it was easy to sculpt the PB&Choc topping over the cake.

It came out pretty good, could use a bit more sugar, but I liked how zesty it is, and the banana added to the sweetness. Pretty proud of it.

With the book situation sorted, I decided to return to my cake. I put the batter on a cake tin, and lined the top with banana slices, and slapped it in the oven at 180ºC for 35 mins.

Meanwhile, I quickly made some instant noodles with leftovers for dinner while I wait for the cake to bake. The noodles were spicy salted egg flavored, and I added sweet vinegar, chicken bouillon and cabbage to the mix. It was tasty and very filling.

Seeing as I needed space on my shelf, I decided to go through my mini-library and get rid of books I've read and don't plan on revisiting. I made enough space to shelve those books. The books I'm going to part with will be donated to an orphanage/shelter.

Afterwards, since I needed time for the dough to settle, I went and got myself a bomb-ass minced pork burger, with fries and cheesy spring rolls. Then went and met with a trader who was willing to part with this lovely collection of 12 classic novels for a little over $10.

Summary of a Wickerbeast's Adventure, Pt. 1 + 

So i didn't mention this, but we recently got an oven, and I had been dabbling in baking. This has given a few of us a lot of euphoria, seeing as our late mother (May she rot forever in Niflheim) traumatized us with her cooking and baking attempts. Today, I decided to make lemon vanilla cake.

hopeful yet angry rant 

Pessimism, nihilism, and despair do no one any good. I choose to live in hope, because it's easier for me than giving into despair. Believe me, I've come very close to giving up on life. I've spent years in the Bad Place. I could have stayed there and stayed miserable, and blamed my misery on others, or I could take responsibility for my own happiness, because, quite frankly, I'm the only one who can take that responsibility for myself.

I had to make some hard choices, I had to move on from people who seemed hell-bent on dragging me down again and again and again. As I've gotten older, my tolerance for selfish, self-absorbed, my-misery-must-be-everyone-else's-problem type people, has waned to nothing.

It costs nothing to be kind. It costs nothing to stop for a moment before lashing out. It costs nothing to try to be understanding of others.

The need to vent about directly experiencing injustice, and about the state of the world, I get that. If it is not followed by plans of action to change your situation and change the world, then it is self-pity. Needless despair and needless cruelty and feeding other people's despair makes you part of the problem.

people who have kids dont make good employees. people with mental illness dont make good employees. people who sleep dont make good employees. people who eat? terrible employees. people in love have loyalty problems and make bad employees. people who have hobbies and interests make bad employees.

fuck, human beings make terrible employees. maybe we should abolish ownership and work as we know it.

ICYMI on Friday, students from over 300 Florida high schools and colleges:

- walked out of their classrooms
- taught each other DeSantis-banned Black and LGBTQ+ history lessons
- AND checked their voter registration statuses

I think at this point, it's safe to consider Twitter to be in and of itself, emotional self-harm. If you value your mental health, consider quitting.

Music, MH- 

We used our pain to write this song. It is dedicated to a former pair of friends who turned out to be abusive, ruined the lives of close friends, and refused to take responsibility. A goodbye letter to Fallen Quetzalli.

Beepbox can be pretty powerful, like I used it to make Reina's Theme for our RPG Maker game project Sephira Tale.

Using Wickerbeast avatars in VRChat gives me species euphoria.
