Surviving the Felon: Week of 2/28/2026
I’m back with another instalment of Surviving the Felon. February is basically over, as is any illusion of us not going to war in the Middle East. Its been a stressful couple of days given that The Felon and Netanyahu decided it was time to bomb Iran. Jews and Muslims will suffer for this. And not just over the next few days or weeks. Hatred that has been building for years has been primed for this situation. I fear how that will effect communities all over the world.
And while parts of Iran an several other places around the Middle East and beyond have been reduced to rubble, the Epstein Files continue to be a major point of contention in many of these same places. Even something as catastrophic as bombing Iran cannot hide the horrors contained in these documents. I only wish more people would face accountability faster before the world burns down.
And so we must keep naming names. These wicked creatures wearing human skin must not be allowed a moment of rest or reprieve. We must make them afraid that their very ways of life will come to an end. People who are not pedophiles drastically outnumber those who are. We do not need to protect them. Nor do we sweep their crimes against humanity under the rug. If the whole system will fall apart of they are punished, then its time for a new system.
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.
An ordered list seems to be the best way to get through this section and so I’ll continue doing so. Negativity is the news’s specialty. And I want to focus on resisting and the positivity. But those bad things cannot be ignored. Giving it the least thought and fewest words is a proper compromise.
Everything ICE is doing in a city near you which includes the terrorism and murder in Minneapolis, The cover up of ICE’s Terrorism by the FBI, Healthcare Costs going way up, Food Stamps running out, Genocide in Sudan, Bombings in Iran and around the Middle East, The Felon investigating political enemies, The realization that our world is run by pedophiles, Rising Antisemitism, Attacks against Jews being used to fuel blood libel and conspiracy theories, threats of violence against politicians who don’t obey The Felon, the Military being forced to obey illegal orders, Rising Tensions between Japan and China, The Redacted Epstein Files, Rising Tensions between the United States and Europe
The Good
Given what I outlined in the first few paragraphs, the fact that we are not basically at war should make it hard to feel good about anything. But when we feel hopeless is the most important time of all to look fort positives. And so, let’s move beyond the newest crisis and reflect on some positive things. And I want to start by pointing out that even starting a war with Iran has not distracted people from the Epstein Files. Regardless of political belief, we all agree that Pedophiles are bad. Let’s unify further and do something about it.
There is one good thing happening with these bombings in Iran. And that is that the Ayatollah is as far as the news is reporting, dead. And while the leaders of Israel and the United States are also terrible people, I’m willing to watch evil versus evil for just a moment and smile knowing at least one wicked monster is out for the count. Now if the people of all three countries could realize that we are on the same side against our leaders and maybe something good could truly come about from this horrific escalation of violence.
And perhaps, though its wishful thinking, maybe, just maybe Jews and Muslims can come together and decide that those who wish us both dead fear most of all that we find common ground. And I see ripples that are the start of this. As more people wake up to the fact that powerful people are dead set on diving groups, those same people are realizing that the opposite behaviors are in their best interests. I would smile knowing that Jews, Muslims, and Christians could shove aside our horrible leaders and get along. Respecting religions and beliefs of others should be baseline. I long for the day where people stop focusing on differences.
Transition
I have kept my depression at bay for a longer time than I thought possible. There were some waves of anxiety this week, as I fear for the safety of Jews everywhere. But nothing permanently crippling. And that is something worth celebrating. Despite politics doing its thing, I had an incredible week with a weekend that was the centerpiece of it all. I’ll get to that in a few sections, but for now, I’m happy with the direction my mental health has taken.
This blog has been a check in for my friends as well as one for myself. February id done and with it one of the worst days of the year for me is leaving with it. I’m still not where I want to be. And I’m sure my Depression will strike when I’m not ready to deal with my thoughts. Which is why those activities that bring me joy are so important. Let’s see if March can help me create a wall against the negative aspects of my mental health. How much writing can I accomplish with a better head?
Anyway, its time for this blog to turn inwards and reflect. I might not have had to battle depression and anxiety this week, but its always a threat and so it is vital that I found plenty that brought me joy. I refuse to let the mainstream media define my emotions. I’ll fight towards a better me even if I face adversity in my personal life and the world around me. The Felon will not drag me down. If you are feeling down and are searching for something to make you feel better, I’ll be providing links to those things that brought me joy.
Workouts
This week I continued at a higher number of reps for my workouts. 15 of each set doesn’t seem like a lot, but habits are best done with a slow build up. I am proud of myself for committing to a healthier body even if I have a lot more work to do before I can be completely content. Here’s hoping that as I go into March that this habit doesn’t fade away. Most new years resolutions vanish without a trace by this point in the year. And once I no longer am hurting from this many reps, I’ll up the number. Not sure where the celling might be, but I’ll be reaching for the stars until I hit it.
Video Games
As I’ll get to in the next section, I was outside a majority of this week. Even when not at work. Still, I found some time to play video games that were not the one I’ll talk about in the next section. As always, I use game time as a means to motivate work. Its a shame that I can’t do something like this at my job. I feel that I would far more productive than the simple 9 to 5 that has been normalized for so many people. Genshin Impact is my game of choice while I write this post. And I am writing this as fast as I can so that I can go on another adventure with a clear head.
Civilization 7, Baldur’s Gate 3, Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, Elden Ring were the other games I played this week. I bet those of you who have been reading my blog this entire time thought that last one would come back did you? Shouldn’t be a surprise since I have platinumed the game. Not to mention it has lots of little breaks in the forms of graces and boss fight. The perfect game to complete work alongside.
What might surprise readers further is that I played another Pokémon Game thanks to the event I’ll be talking about one section down. I returned to Pokémon Legends: Z-A so that I could finally obtain Eternal Flower Floette. I have waited a long time and finally fought against not wanting to play to not only make use of this Pokémon at long last, but also complete the Pokedex. Something I don’t do very often. Perhaps I’ll revisit a few other unfinished games soon.
Pokémon Go
Ok I keep hinting at something special that happened this week. And it took up so much of my time that I didn’t go on a hike or watch a majority of the shows I normally do. That event was Kalos Tour Unlike when I traveled to Miami, I didn’t have a chance to take pictures. There was just too much going on. I didn’t even complete a lot of the tasks immediately. Which is just a sign of how much fun I was having. And best of all, the weather held and didn’t storm. With plenty of walking and catching Pokémon, its always nice to be motivated to play a video game that keeps me healthy.
Outside of Kalos Tour, I played my last tournament match of the current season. And I finished strong with another 2-1 set. All in all I saw massive improvement from my first season of real tournament play. And I’m excited to improve further and see what new heights my team might reach.
I somehow did not get a picture of it, but I also leveled up to 74 in game. I’ll update this if I can locate proof of my accomplishment, but for now at least, you will just have to take my word for it. Unless of course you are friends with me in the game. If that is the case, simply look at your friends’ list for proof that I’m not pulling your leg.
Anime and Shows
This week I only had time to watch Hell’s Paradise so far. I’ll make sure to catch up on Fire Force, and Sentenced to be a Hero, Frieren Beyond Journeys End, and of course Oshi No Ko as soon as I have some free time. For now at least I want to make use of that boosted energy gained from Go Tour to write and take care of things that I have kept putting off.
I’m nearing the end of the Dressrosa Arc of One Piece. Which is something I keep saying. But I really mean it this time. With only about 7 episodes to go, I am ready to finish this arc and move on to the next. Its aggravating how the pacing makes it harder to binge the show because everything in this arc should have gripped me from beginning to end. But I will not be giving up on the story because its incredible despite dragging. I’m almost on to the next arc. And if I find the time, might push through it this week.
Dungeons & Dragons
Another week, another chance to run my Centrum Glacies Campaign. The party dealt with the corrupted Druid Grove and is close to confronting a major enemy. But first they will have to fight through a dark maze filled with ghosts that died a terrible death. And they found a talking mimic along the way.
Writing and Editing
I am continuing to write the first draft of my fifth Search for Eden Novel. I am going full speed ahead until I finish the book. Then I’ll turn my focus to other matters. This book serves as my first dive into proper science fiction and its taking a lot of time away from writing and towards research. And yet this isn’t a bad thing because I’m learning a lot about all sorts of topics and realizing more and more how little I actually understand.
I’m up to the climax of the book as well as this entire arc. Every single paragraph at this point is a surreal experience. I never thought I would write this book. And now I’m nearing the end of it. I’ll be focusing on editing for quite a while after this, but I am reveling in the positive energy of seeing a project I have thought about since I was a kid start to truly manifest. And this is only the beginning. The first five books in this series only serve as a setup for the true story. Which I started crafting when I was ten years old. For comparison, as of this post, I’m thirty seven. Almost my entire life I have thought about this story.
Reading and Podcasts
I have continued listening to Behind the Bastards led by Robert Evans and learning about some truly horrible people. This week, I learned about my dear Governor, the High Heeled Closeted Man. Every time I learn more about him, the more disgusted I become. How did he become the leader of the state of Florida? And what can we do to make sure no one like him is able to lead our state again?
Meanwhile I finished Claymore. I loved how it ended, though I felt like there could have been more. Then again, sometimes stories leave loose ends unsolved for the reader to imagine how the ended on their own. Finishing this story was bittersweet, but where one tale ends, another can begin.
Starting this week, I returned to reading a non Manga once more. And of course it had to be a Brandon Sanderson Novel at that. This time I’m reading Skyward: Claim the Stars. This one isn’t in the Cosmere and that’s ok. I enjoy all of his work.
Wrap Up
As we head into March, don’t forget to take a deep breath and let all that stress out. Its been a terrifying year so far. But the tide is turning. What we are all seeing should serve as a warning and preview of what might happen next. Things are escalating fast, and so we need to be ready to stand firm against The Felon. But when things escalate that gives off a sense of urgency. We might be rushing towards the edge of a cliff, or with some hope, perhaps the end of this nightmare instead.
The Felon is fading. And less and less people are cool with him being a pedophile. So he and his handlers push fear on us because that is all they know. Even a war in the Middle East will not stop them from vanishing. And once they are gone, may their legacy be tainted by their wicked deeds.
And outside of The Felon, Capitalism, The One World Order that Libertarians claim we need to fear while they worship it tries to reduce our lives to monetary value. It is up to us to build lives that stand in defiance of this. Art cannot be quantified by capital and that is why those in power continue to demonize it alongside Liberal Arts. Anything demonized by Fascists is something that we should all care about. Because anything they oppose is what will help bring them down.
Anyway, you know who also doesn’t understand art and sentimental stuff at all? The Felon. Let’s outlast him in 2026. As humans, let’s show love and light to those we care about. Those things are what make us better people. In fact its what makes us human. Our heartbeats are greater than anything he stands for. While he destroys, we rebuild. Our hearts craft beauty and wonder despite his parasitic presence. And we will only become stronger once he is no longer in our way. We will Survive The Felon together and unstoppable. ICE will melt and we will endure.
As a reward for making it to the end, here is a cat unaware that his picture is being taken. He also might not know what pictures are. After all, he’s a cat.
