Surviving the Felon: Week of 8/02/2025
I’m back with another instalment of Surviving the Felon. How are we doing? Are we tired and frustrated? Well don’t let those feelings overwhelm you. After all a felon and pedophile does not have the right to have that much power over you. Instead we have to remember that we are in control of our emotions, even when the world is trying to steal our happiness away.
This week I thought a lot about how easily I get overwhelmed. A lot of things happened this week that seemed like impossible impasses and I lost plenty of sleep as a result. And yet, I solved each problem one at a time and now feel fine. That lost sleep only hurt me in hindsight and didn’t have any tangible benefit. And so my goal for this August is to not panic when my life seems unstable. Instead I’ll dissect the problems one at a time and solve them.
I’m finding new ways to channel my energy and find happiness. After making countless excuses about how the extreme weather is keeping me from being physically active, I was talking to a friend who is worried about the same thing. And so we are now going to push each other to work out more. Whether that means going to the gym or going on a hike once the weather is better.
And so I recommend to everyone reading this, if you feel frustrated that you are not improving in a way that you want, reach out to friends and family. It is likely that someone within your social circle is also trying to be a better person. And all we need sometimes is a partner in crime or several that will hold each other accountable and push one another to be better.
The Bad
While the news tries to control what we are worried about, don’t forget to learn more about the Heritage Foundation, Peter Thiel, and Curtis Yarvin. These are our real enemies, alongside The Window Shover of course. I’m putting this at the start of The Bad Section because I feel like this is by far the most important thing to get out of the negative.
Well here we are. Our country has a stochastic terrorist, pedophile, crybaby who can’t handle any criticism of him at all. He’s now firing anyone who makes him look bad in any way. Lots of news that was fighting tooth and nail to not serve his whims is now being defunded. And unfortunately other Fascist wannabees are copying his example and looking for ways to hurt others.
Notably the deep closeted heel man in Florida is trying to mess up my city of Orlando in any way he can. That might include gerrymandering the state so that my voice is drowned out by his loyalists. But it is my hope as well as many others that this will backfire. Demographics change and when enough people are hurt personally, that tends to be a major motivator.
And lest we forget, there are still concentration camps being filled. Not only with immigrants anymore, but homeless people too. The 13th Amendment did not get rid of slavery. It simply changed how one becomes enslaved. And the prison industrial complex will not get those slaves themselves after all.
The Good
Well a lot of bad continues to happen both openly and in the shadows, but we won’t let a felon and pedophile get away with those things forever now will we? And we should be thankful that The Felon is old and his health is failing. He is human and mortal despite his giant ego making him think otherwise. Eventually we will all be rid of his waste of space. And I know I will rejoice when I don’t have to share my air and country with this waste of space.
Another positive that we should all be eager to watch is the Fascists turning on one another. The Fox Man and The Felon are clashing over rules of reporting. And The Fox Man has built a massive corporate empire that will outlast The Felon. Let them fight and weaken one another so that they both can fall.
The Window Shover seems to be clashing with The Felon too. I’m not sure how this will play out or why The Felon thinks he can stand up to his master. But well, The Felon might want to stay away from windows. Or not. I won’t lose any sleep if that happens. In fact I’ll be celebrating in the streets should that come to pass.
We should all remember that time continues on regardless of all the horrible things happening. Like in a flowing river, all of the sludge eventually is diluted and broken up. Such as it will be with The Felon and those who worship him. We just have to outlast them.
Transition
Well we have made it beyond the political section of this post. As usual its time for me to turn inwards and reflect on what I did this week to smile and laugh. I’ll admit that I actually feel a bit better this week than last. Don’t worry, I’m well aware of why and more than happy to talk about it.
We could all use some ideas on how to feel better both mentally and physically. Outlasting The Felon is easier with a life worth living. Seemingly this week was a better one for me. I hope it was for you too. But if not, I’ll be posting links to what I found joy in. Perhaps they will lead to some light coming your way too.
Video Games
August continues the extreme Florida heat so I’m still not going outside. That of course meant plenty of video game time. Genshin Impact is my game of choice this time as I write this blog post. A new patch dropped recently that added a new map and plenty of events. Exploring new areas is one of my favorite parts of the game and I’m trying my best not to do everything all at once so that I have plenty to find for the next month.
Speaking of exploration, Elden Ring still has plenty of secrets for me to find. And having all the achievements does not mean I am done with the game. No matter how frustrated I might find myself at this game, I continue coming back for more.
Another game that continues to exceed my expectations is Expedition 33. Between the music, gameplay, and story, this has game of the year vibes to me. I am currently decently far into Act 2 and I have a lot of unanswered questions from the story that I know will be answered within the next few areas of the game.
I played some Helldivers 2 this week and am thinking of playing that some more this week when I have some time. My fears of playing with random people are slowly fading away as I get better and better at all the mechanics. This in turn helps me combat my toxic competitive traits. Competitive gaming is a lot more fun when losing doesn’t feel like a direct attack on me.
Pokémon Go
August is not a month where things cool down. And so my adventures with Pokémon Go will continue to be limited. In the meantime, I’ll be planning several different hikes and how far each will be so that the moment I’m safely able to explore again, I’ll be jumping at the opportunity.
I did manage to play a bit for the fossil research day. Mostly by driving around and staying out of the Florida sun. But at least I got to get out of my house and catch plenty of shiny Pokémon along the way. Next time though, I hope the event lasts longer than a few hours. Such a time frame can be limiting and take the fun out of an event.
PvP continues to be a stardust farm for me. I still don’t feel like I’m making much progress. But apparently a lot of people much better at the game than me feel the same. The leader boards are not filling up as fast as normal. And I’ll be curious to see what the cause of this might be. Perhaps staying where I am does mean I’m better than I thought.
Anime and Shows
The stacked anime season continues through the summer. And this week I am not behind on any of the shows. Dandadan, Rising of the Shield Hero, and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt have all been bangers. My Dress Up Darling, Call of the Night, Kaiju No. 8, and Dr. Stone have all captivated me as their stories continue.
The standout for this week was Dandadan which not only had a tension filled episode but ended on a crazy cliffhanger. Not that Kaiju No. 8 didn’t do something similar. But I have a feeling that that show will have this paragraph to itself in a few weeks.
As for One Piece, I made it to the timeskip at long last. That means that when I continue the show, 2 years will have passed. And the Straw Hats will at long last head towards Fishman Island. But before they can, they have to reunite for a shorter arc when they finally reunite at Sabaody Island. One Piece continues to hold my attention and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Dungeons & Dragons
My Centrum Glacies Campaign had another week where it was mostly combat focused. But there were a few surprises to be had. No need to spoil those on this blog though. You can see what happened for yourself on that blog post here.
Writing and Editing
I wrote more of my newest Search for Eden Novel this week. A somber section is about to give way to a series of twists that have been three books or more in the making. This book is the end of an arc after all and that means that I have to go all out so that readers can appreciate the full scope of this series. I hope that readers will enjoy what I consider the most important series I have ever written.
Reading
I’m almost finished with The Book of Dust and I’m glad that I am no longer being shackled by my depression. In fact since I have been reading the book, my mind has not been dragged through the mud by doom scrolling on social media. It really is true that when you are depressed, your mind keeps you away from the very things that would make you happy. Best of all, I have the next book in that series sitting in my room. Its been collecting dust (heh) for a bit now but not for much longer.
Wrap Up
We made it to August. And while things continue to feel hopeless politically, I don’t feel hopeless personally. Its weird because we truly are living in times that will be studied in history books for a long time. Which of course is why I’m doing my part to write my feeling and thoughts down. The Felon might be censoring everything he can, but he will not be able to silence me. I refuse to submit to his weak will.
Lest we forget, he’s a stochastic terrorist. We should not negotiate with The Felon. He’s a pedophile and human trafficker. The Felon should be locked away and not locking us away instead. And so since we cannot remove him at the moment from our country, what we can do is push him away from our minds and hearts. He is a filthy virus and we should create a vaccine to remove him like an oozing wound.
Instead we should focus on what makes us smile. We should seek joy in our lives. It is a form of resistance against fascism and capitalism that he cannot take away from us. We must not allow him to even think he can try. We outnumber him. His supporters are weak men who think they are strong. Their hearts beat only they are commanded to. Meanwhile our desire for a better world is stronger than their hate.
So I call upon every person who wants to see a better world to unite. We can build communities with like minded people. We need to trust each other rather than assume the worst in everyone. Hatred for the other only empowers The Felon and like minded people. Instead let us drown out his hate with our hearts beating as one.
We will outlast and survive The Felon. His pedophilia will bring him down. And the world will be able to heal as soon as he is incapable of harming us anymore.
Look at this kitty. Look how cute he is.
