Surviving the Felon: Week of 8/23/2025
I’m back with another instalment of Surviving the Felon. August is almost over and I know I’m hoping for a cooler fall after this blazing heat of a summer. How are we doing right now? Are we afraid of what The Felon might do as his health continues to decline? Or are we hopeful that we can outlast him and his twisted Cult.
I know that I am hopeful that we can defeat him and the ideology that allowed him to take power in the first place. And I know it might sound idealistic, but we finally might have a chance to properly punish the confederacy and the Nazis at the same time. A proper Nuremburg Trials where all the enablers are dealt with and all ideas of the south rising again completely crushed would make me feel a lot better about the future of the United States.
Recently I was reminded that The Felon and his ilk are incapable of love. Its one of the reasons they peddle in hate. They pretend to be strong while not only being weak babies, but are not capable of the full spectrum of human emotion. They are not powerful people, but pathetic weaklings with the very bad genetics they claim the rest of us possess. Its always projection with those wicked sorts. And so we should embrace what they lack. We must love ourselves and others. Its time to share light and hope with one another as we find those things that make us smile.
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.
Anyway, with hope on our minds, let’s focus on the stuff that is trying to crush our smiles and steal our hope. Washington DC has dealt with some police crackdowns and signs of what martial law might look like. And cities like Chicago and New York are next according to The Felon. Quite frankly I hope those cities give the illegal occupiers a proper and well deserved welcome.
Meanwhile in my state, The Closeted Heel Man is attacking rainbows on crosswalks. There is a back and forth battle at the Pulse Memorial where 49 people were killed for committing the crime of existing. And now its clear that people who wish even more than 49 had been shot are doing what they can to erase solidarity. We will not let them win. Their hatred will consume them and they will fade from history as the worthless parasites they are.
The Window Shover is trying to force the United States to in turn for Ukraine to surrender. I’m glad that Ukraine knows that The Felon is full of shit and refuses to do what he wants. We could all learn from that example. We should all defy The Felon and better yet, ignore him as he screams and throws a tantrum while fading away.
The Good
Well even the bad didn’t seem nearly as bad in past weeks. But let’s focus on the good because more than ever we have to. So first off on that point about the rainbows being erased around Florida, because it isn’t just in Orlando, I’m pleased that people are fighting back. We are winning against them enough that now The Closeted Heel Man is using cameras and police just to prevent a rainbow from being painted back on. That’s some overcompensation my dude.
Also positive for the week is that its no longer possible for staff to hide The Felon’s declining health. He might feel invincible, but he is mortal with flesh and blood all the same. And he’s old, weak, and feeble. May nature claim him soon. Kissinger is lonely and needs more scum to pal around with. And Epstein needs to get him back for that time he killed him to keep the other pedophile quiet.
This last point might seem bad, but I see it as a good thing that The Felon is using the FBI to go after former allies rather than constant enemies. Infighting between Fascists benefits everyone else. We all as sane rational people should do everything in our power to keep this sort of infighting going. It weakens the Fascists and forces them to use resources to harm each other instead of good and decent people like everyone else.
Transition
As always when we reach this point, its time to move away from politics and back towards my personal life. Every day might be struggle, especially with The Felon running things, but that gives me a chance to grow and become more powerful while outlasting him and his wicked ilk. Every day is another chance to defy him and the media overlords who financially go all out on making us miserable for profits. That means of course that the simplest and easiest form of rebellion is to find happiness and refuse to let their capitalism infused darkness win out over our hearts.
I have plenty to keep me smiling about. And as always I am happy to be sharing that light with you all. There was a lot keeping me smiling this week, even if my own body was trying to work against me. More about that in a moment. And as always if you are feeling down in the dumps and not sure about anything capable of making you smile, be sure to click on the links to the things I’m enjoying. Perhaps they can be a springboard to help you reach positive heights.
Workouts
Unfortunately this week, I was sick which severely limited my workouts. I even called out of work one day which meant less walking than normal during my week. However, I did participate in a Pokémon Go event during the weekend that helped me get some of those steps back. Still, I need to get back to doing proper workouts this next week because I have not been doing any of this long enough for it to become a habit yet.
Video Games
Well its hot outside and I was sick all week. What do you think I spent most of my extra free time doing? Yep! You know what I did. Unlike most of my blog posts, I actually started writing this one while catching up on a few shows I missed. But I am by this point in this post caught up on shows, and so its back to Expedition 33 to break up writing sections. This game just keeps getting better and I’m almost at the end of the games second act. It has to one up the already explosive end to the first act. But I am certain that this game will deliver. Game of the year material for sure with this one.
I have put off an important quest in Genshin Impact for a bit too long now and I’ll be playing through that in the near future. After all, the next patch is coming soon and it will take the game towards Nod Krai and ultimately Snezhnaya itself which has been a location set up since the very beginning of the game.
Elden Ring in some ways is lore wise what I want Genshin to be. Both games tell a lot of their story in item descriptions and hidden books. Given both games have extensive lore and a near exhaustive number of theories to go along with them is what keeps brining me back to both games. Speaking of brought back, I went and played a game I have barely touched in months: Civilization 7. I wanted to try the game again and see what improvements there are. I’ll talk more about that next week since I have not fully tested everything yet.
This week had a lot of Helldivers 2 action. It was a good change of pace to go back and play this with friends. Too much now I feel like I keep to my house and don’t interact with people outside work enough. Video games are not always the best ways to socialize but they do give me an option while dealing with this Florida summer.
Pokémon Go
Not only is the summer heat still keeping me inside, but as a reminder, I was sick this week too. So of course I played more Pokémon Go than normal because I have never claimed to be a rational person. This weekend including as I’m writing this post featured the release of Eternatus. And a lot of people are and were excited about this Pokémon. But not me. Oh no, certainly not me, the guy who ended up with a Pokémon with badly rolled stats.
Jokes aside, I got enough experience to level up. And the grind to 50 is quite an undertaking. Getting one step closer is one of the things that makes this game so enjoyable for me. Long term tasks that I can complete give me a reason to play every day. And so this game is one of the most important things dragging me out of my house. Its likely I would stay home even more without this game existing.
PvP has been tough the last couple weeks for me. But I joined a league with some friends last week and I hope to get better at the game by learning from people much better at it than me. Every loss and win is another towards improvement. And even when I get frustrated, I’m recovering faster and working on purging that toxic sore loser mentality that is holding me back.
Anime and Shows
What a perfect time to stay inside during this hot summer. I must do something else besides video games sometimes? Right? Of course I do. Remember this summer season is absolutely stacked with shows. So thanks to watching the few I hadn’t caught up on while writing this post, let’s talk a little about them. That list if you are curious includes: My Dress Up Darling, Kaiju No. 8, Dandadan, Rising of the Shield Hero, Call of the Night Dr. Stone and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt.
This week, a little sleeper of a show caught me of guard. Call of the Night. This show might be more of a romantic story, but it reminds you from time to time that any story involving Vampires can turn dangerous. And I’m glad that the show decided to explore a situation that makes the overall narrative more intense.
I watched a fair bit of One Piece though. I’m more than halfway through Fishman Island and know that the arcs after this will get a bit more intense. I knew going into this arc that the story would slow down a bit. Almost all post timeskip content does. It’s not a bad thing. Let me breath a little because Marineford was a lot.
Dungeons & Dragons
I didn’t get to run a session of my Centrum Glacies Campaign this week. But I spent plenty of prepping time this week instead. I made enough content for several sessions now. And it will all lead up to a major story beat and an important clash with a major NPC. Its a fight that I have spent time thinking about the past 2 years and can’t wait to run the encounter.
Writing and Editing
While I was sick and at home, I channeled a lot of the energy I normally save for work and wrote out an entire chapter of my Search for Eden Novel. Its the first part of a major story clash and with an antagonist I have set up for 4 books now. And this is book 5 so that’s a majority of the series at this point.
The first third will be the part I like the least of it if I’m being honest. My mind is far more focused on what happens right after and I worry that it tainted the process. Good thing is that this is only a first draft. I have plenty of chances to make it better.
Reading
I made it further into The Secret Commonwealth. This story is a lot better than the prior book. Yet my mind wanders because I am even more excited to read some stuff I have sitting in my room. I won’t spoil any surprises but its something I have been meaning to read for a long time now. Just know that I refuse to rush through my current read just to get to the next one.
Wrap Up
August is almost over and I’m hoping the temperature will start to drop soon. Being able to hike outside will help me combat depression and any other form of hope sapping tricks The Felon might try. It can be hard to have hope as we watch the world burn around us. And striking more matches doesn’t help is in the immediate. Instead, finding a little fireproof corner where you can safely recharge is what I have been working on. I encourage everyone else to do the same. Rebuild your strength and find reasons that you find this world worth existing in.
I keep writing, on this blog and elsewhere because it helps me get my ideas to thought. But on top of that, the very idea of creating art matters immensely to me. Its one of the main issues I have with all this AI crap. I don’t talk about my feelings on that really and it belongs in the negative section when I do, but creating and simply making things because we can and want to, is something I feel like we need more of. Not everything we do needs to be monetized.
To that end, I encourage you all to create something that will make you smile. Whether it is a situation, an art piece, or even a moment of silence, find something that brings you joy in these rotten times. We can rest, recharge, and be ready to fight for a better world. Our hearts beat as one, filled with an emotion that The Felon who is also a terrorist, pedophile, and rapist will never be able to understand.
We can find light and love. We can choose to feel the good things that The Felon and his ilk are trying to squeeze out of us. Do not let them win. We will Survive The Felon, and people who worship him together and unified in hope.
Today you are blessed with pictures of these two cats.
