turns out changing out an old phone you've had since 2017 (an LG K10) for a more recent phone (a Google Pixel 6a) makes a big difference in terms of phone usage.
Things are smooth! and responsive!
I can play games on this damn thing now!
feels pretty good tbh
the easiest way to make me happy is complimenting me
alternatively: a cinnamon roll
social anxiety vent
if there's *anything* I want to get better at, it's having one-on-one conversations with folks and not just posting on group chats.
it's hard for me to get out of that mindset of "I only need to message someone if I need to ask them for something", though.
is there a trick to socializing that I'm missing?
Another month passes by and I got more cash from the folks who support my Patreon.
It always amazes me that there's people that care about my stuff enough to throw a buck or two my way, honestly.
If you wanna be one of those, check my Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/youfoundasecretarea

Cool tip for queer people this month: “if someone doesn’t think you’re a person, you don’t have to be nice to them”
gay cats....
television copaganda
found out that World's Wildest Police Videos is on YouTube and have been casually rewatching them.
That was one show that I used to watch a lot, primarily because of the shocking content.
Nowadays it's a bit of a harder watch, especially when some of the police's actions are lauded and praised.
It's a thing that could potentially work as an essay about how prevalent cop shows were in the 1990s...
hey if I want to listen to elvis costello and the attractions' "(I don't want to go to) Chelsea" on loop for a half hour I should be allowed to without being shamed for it
I used to have a foobar2000 plugin that kept count of the number of times I played a song.
downside is this got me to like, feel ashamed for listening to the same song for an hour
so I'm glad it broke when I updated foobar2000 to 2.0, I don't need that guilt.
Forgot how good the soundtrack to Valis III on the Genesis was.
(I should probably play it sometime.)
was looking through my library of books and found out I have all but three of John Gardner's run of James Bond novels.
maybe that's what I'll read next sometime.
mild spoilers for myhouse.wad, a doom level
I mean, that eerie tune that plays during myhouse definitely hits me in a way I didn't expect.
been listening to a bunch of ambient instrumental music.
makes it pretty easy to hit me in the feels and cry, that's for sure.
New on the Secret Area: It's Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit.
A story of "how the hell did I get this game?" had me finding a perfectly average action-platformer.
Likes, shares and comments appreciated, as always.

sort of an open poll for all trans folk:
when you started taking HRT, did it make you want to expand and try new things? like food, books, games, stuff like that?
I ask because I noticed I've been more open to trying out stuff and I wonder if that's common or just me changing my line of thinking.

On LRT there: not only is staying on Twitter "because your livelihood depends on it" kind of a short-term notion at this point, but it can poof in an instant. My studio account over there is still banned. Straight up. No explanation. I appealed the decision weeks ago. Nada. It's just gone.
I get that you need to keep posting stuff there right this second, that's fine, but HOLY CRAP do not keep relying on it moving forward. You need to be actively migrating away, rapidly, with all haste, to literally anywhere else, because that place is (already) toast.

Pride is a fucking protest.
Pride is a fucking riot.
It is time for Gay Wrath and it must be constant and unyielding.
