i sure do talk about my brain a lot

that's fine and all, but i should be careful to not use it as some sort of ironic detachment from my faults

i hosted an event a while ago, and it went excellently, so the ambitious part of my brain decided that i can probably do bigger things too!

it's cool how much of a springboard a little bit of success can be!

*someone posts an invite to a thing i totally want to get in on*

my brain: i should exclude myself from this for no reason at all

me, a dummy: lets put all of the events i want to watch into google calendar ahead of time!

ahahaha, uh, i may have missed some things...

hug a pokemon today!

i noticed this when i clicked a markov bot that made no sense because the avatar was kind of adorable

i click cute avatars

it's totally corny, but i feel kind of a kinship with opponents in splatoon when we face off enough and take turns very clearly outplaying each other

remember, you should do things *for* your happiness--not to *earn* your happiness..!

don't fall into the trap of thinking you have to do any number of things before you're allowed to be happy

not only is that unfair to you, it's also a fantastically good way to burn yourself out

ooh! Pinafore has themes now..!

oh no

if i side, i might accidentally side with doctored lies and ruin the life of a marginalized creator who has been preyed on relentlessly for years, or side with someone who has unforgivably ruined the lives of children

instead i find myself paralyzed, because i don't want to do either of these things. i want to do what's right, but i can't know what is right with the current information

i want the truth, and it's killing me

this puts me in a really confusing place, and if the source was literally ANYWHERE else, i wouldn't feel so much doubt

my problem is that the recent events look just like all of their other harassment campaigns, but in this case i don't know who the victims *actually* are...and getting it wrong either way would make me feel extremely bad

this whole situation with kiwifarms is deeply confusing to me

i think that we need to believe victims, because it's extraordinarily hard to come forward with nasty things when you are abused...this is especially true for things like CSA

but the source of all of these nasty accusations is coming from a place that is known for being a cesspool that tries it's hardest to ruin the lives of the people they don't like by circlejerking a mixture of out of context bits with outright lies

last year i set up gitlab on my server for some personal projects, but also because it had a private issue tracker that i could use for sooper-seekret actual real life issues i wanted so work on

i forgot about it until now and wooow. Almost none of these things are issues anymore, and very few of them are secret either

things are actually extraordinarily good for me... i just gotta work on keeping this momentum now..!

remember! "vote with your wallet" just means "ignore the marginalized"
