Finally sat down and wrote something for my blog.

I gotta start reminding myself that it's not tough for me to write something, it's just having an ideas on what to write about. :blob_dizzy_face:

politics, cancer, personal 

Look, John McCain was a war hero and a shitty senator. But I would never wish cancer on him, or anyone.

Especially since I lost a close family member to cancer two years ago.

It's the kind of thing you really start to reconsider saying when cancer takes away someone you really care about. Keep that in mind.

gender, brain issues. 

When I talked to the doctor earlier this week, I had suggested looking into a psychologist.

I was given a list of potential places, and I should really start making calls and get that ball rolling, if only for my own well-being.

I don't want it to like, stop the gender thing, but rather get me to understand it and not have it linger in my mind so much.

gender 

I'm in a really tough spot at the moment.

There's a point where I'm getting that urge to be like "I wanna wear a dress, wear a skirt, wear things clearly not masculine or boring."

This is something I've had occasional urges about for many many years, but it's amplified considerably over the past year.

I think it's starting to get to a point where it's affecting things around me and the things I enjoy doing.

But I can't just *ignore* this.

Tonight was a wonderful night, filled with good indie rock concerts and a fair share of drinking.

I'm slowly coming off from it, but I'd say this was the day that made 2018 for me.

internet edgelords and crappy gotchas 

Nothing is more head-scratching than idiots going "AHA I FOUND OLD TWEETS YOU SAID LIKE 7 YEARS AGO THAT HAVE YOU SAYING BAD THINGS, AREN'T YOU A HYPOCRITE"

Do they not realize people usually *grow* and improve as time goes on?

Now if they were still saying that stuff today, you'd have an argument. But if they renounced that stuff, isn't that worth a pass?

struggling to sleep, staying up 'til 8AM, then sleeping 'til Noon is not something I recommend, tbh

birdsite, gamers 

I hate quoting a dipshit PUA for that, but it's the only appropriate way to describe the whole YouTube "Anti-SJW gamer" fandom at this point.

Also proof I'm a dork:

I put the full date in the tags whenever available.

Thus I'm experiencing (some of) 1967 as I speak, starting with The Rolling Stones' Ruby Tuesday, to Jimi Hendrix's debut, a bunch of Beatles, and ending with The Who's I Can See For Miles.

It's really interesting when you listen to music this way.

Going through my music collection chronologically.

It started with nothing but Elvis and Miles Davis since that's all of my '50s stuff.

Now I'm in the psychedelic rock phase and stuff like Sgt. Pepper.

It's interesting because it gives me a decent snapshot of how music evolved even within a decade, from teenybopper pop to the later hard rock/heavy metal that would start to bloom in the early '70s.

Davis' Law is basically "If you mention a brand on Twitter without directly @ing at them, expect a response even if you didn't want it."

A reference to this old Giant Bombcast clip: youtube.com/watch?v=Kqla_qUGiT

Love two mention a weird occurrence of seeing a restaurant delivery at a doctor's office only to get a response from the brand's Twitter account because I mentioned the name.

Davis' Law is always in effect, and it's why social media will always be stupid.

Speaking of technological aesthetics, there’s one in particular that has been and needs to continue coming back...

TRANSPARENCY.

social media, birdsite, transphobia 

Obligatory "don't read the replies" to people rightfully calling it out.

Like I saw a distorted gif of Peter Griffin going "who the hell cares" in the replies. It's like they don't have an argument. :blobrollingeyes:

The Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account did a "Did you assume my gender" joke and I'm like...

ughhhhhhhhhhhh :blobangery:

Falling down a rabbit hole of watching random Starcade episodes.

Probably the best show G4 ever aired, tbh
