Surviving the Felon: Week of 5/23/2026
I’m back with another instalment of Surviving the Felon. And like before, I’m going to focus as much as I can on the positive things happening in our world. Far too much focus goes towards negative energy. And like leeches, The Felon and his cronies love when that is our state of mind.
Spreading good and light into the universe benefits all that want to see this nightmare come to an end. And it helps build our communities up so that we are protected from The Felon and his followers. One day, he won’t be around to hurt us anymore, but the ideas that propped him up with endure. We are not powerless. And the proof lies in the fact that everyone wants us to feel that way.
Protect your energy if that is what it takes. And if you have the ability to do so, resist. Simply standing up to The Felon is seen by our government as an evil act. Essentially they are encouraging us to do just that. Whether it be by creating art, giving money to causes, and of course marching in the streets for change, we all can do our part to leave the world better than we found it.
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.

The Good
Well, we made it past the bad. So let’s focus on the good. And I want to start with myself. This last weekend I got to go on vacation due to the United States Holiday Memorial Day. It meant that this post is being written a day late, but I get a chance to refresh my energy and really take a moment to think about what I want in life.
I have combined a few topics in the bad section because I realized dividing groups into categories does far too much work of the ruling class. Instead I’ll highlight groups are coming together over shared ideas. And even if those shared values have come about in the face of graphic tragedies, they have brought people of different backgrounds together all the same.
There are some places like in New York City where leadership is proving that all that red tape is just an excuse. When we fight and elect actual leaders instead of capitalists, we can accomplish things. More and more people are waking up to the fact that the middle class is a lie. There are only two classes in the United States: Working, and Capital. Workers of the world need to unite just as in times of old. We can change the world with that level of unity. Which is why the Capitalists are fighting as hard as they can to keep everyone divided.
Transition
This week I was once more hindered by a Florida heat wave. Summer is here and that means I have to change where I find positive energy from. I also was on vacation which again meant that my usual schedule was disrupted. This isn’t a bad thing per say, but it does mean I need to play catch up. Each day is another where I risk falling back into Depression. And Anxiety episodes strike when least expected. This week the heat got to my head and left me in a haze. It took several days to free myself from it. I’ll have to fight even harder than before to control my energy and make sure it doesn’t get snatched away from me.
This blog has been a check in for my friends as well as one for myself. May is heading towards its end and I’m still not where I want to be. But I have found some motivation to try and reach new heights. Activities that bring me joy are so important because they keep the despair away. How much writing can I accomplish with a better head?
Anyway, its time for this blog to turn inwards and reflect. I had to battle depression and anxiety this week. 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 make me happy.
Workouts
This week I continued at my increased number of reps. Or at least that is what I want to say. But as I was on a vacation, this part of my routine was disrupted. 20 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. And I’m pleased that I’m not as sore right now as I was the last time I upped my reps. Those results tell a story on their own. Let’s see if I can fix this habit to make it forever.
Video Games
Genshin Impact is the game I’m playing right now. Was it even a question if I play video games in my free time? Even on vacation I’m not far from turning something on and making use of the fact that games like Genshin always have new content ready for me to experience. Or if not that, old content in new ways.
Elden Ring, Civilization 7, and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness were my other games of choice this week. But while on vacation I was with a friend who wanted to play a couple specific games. As I won’t be seeing them in person again for a while, I wanted to make the time I spent there count.
As I have mentioned several times, my routine was changed up a bit this week. The first game I played while away was Baldur’s Gate 3. I’m hopeful I’ll finish this playthrough soon because there are other builds I want to show this same friend on subsequent adventures. But we didn’t finish the game because we decided to change gears and play Resident Evil 3 Remake. The original Resident Evil 3 was a game I played when I was much younger. But I never got around to really checking out the entire series. After finishing the admittedly short campaign, I might change that.
Pokémon Go
This week I once more took it easy in Pokémon Go. I participated in a couple casual tournaments over the last few weeks and am realizing that there more I practice to improve, the more mistakes I find myself making. Improvement is a forever game. Its time to lock in and get better.
No community day even this week. And I was on vacation so it wouldn’t have been something I attended. However, I did do something important in my Pokémon Go journey and that is level up again. Here is the proof.
Well I have taken a bit of a break from Go Battle League. The last few weeks I felt a bit demoralized but now that I have gotten over how I feel, its time to get back to work. Its time for me to play more matches and become an even better battler.
Anime and Shows
Vacations are disruptive to my normal schedules, partially on account of me doing different things than normal. For example, Re:Zero, Witch Hat Atelier, and Daemons of the Shadow Realm were the only two anime that are ongoing that I was able to watch.
I’ll be sure to catch up on Dr. Stone this week and make sure I’m up to date before my next post. For that reason I won’t be rating any shows for the week. The sample size is just too small.
I’m making my way through the Whole Cake Island Arc of One Piece. I’m digging in, pun intended. Now that I have gone further in, this is becoming my favorite arc post time skip. Its a longer arc but that’s fine given what has happened in prior arcs. With how there are places made of food and given the other imagery shown, my instincts were right. This is shaping up to be a truly nightmarish story arc.
Dungeons & Dragons
The next arc of my Centrum Glacies Campaign continued as the party explored a haunted town and watched as several ghosts had their final days play out. Naturally some of the spirits were vengeful, but the group doesn’t know what happened yet. That will be a tale for next time.
As usual, you can read what happened here. But please, and I mean this in the kindest way I can, mind the trigger warnings. This campaign is about to delve into some seriously dark topics which can be triggering for some people. There is nothing wrong with that part of my blog not being the best stuff to read for you. After all, the entire purpose of Surviving The Felon is to uplift and feel better.
Writing and Editing
Now that I have moved past most of my Earth Everafter Book 1 edits, I’m cleaning up a couple future chapters before we get to fixing those too. With all the changes I have made thus far, those chapters no longer work within the story. But it won’t take too long to bring them in line with everything else.
I also continued writing the next Search for Eden Novel. I’ll have a lot of research to do since this novel is much more science fiction than anything else I have ever written. It’s a convenient excuse to not edit as fast as I should be. Between figuring out space travel and unique planet biology, I have my work cut out for me. And this is only a few chapters in. But I’ll be approaching the 1/3 mark soon.
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 locked on a truly terrifying bastard. But I’m not done with the episode yet. Its a long series and the person in question committed all sots of crimes. By next week, I should have finished the episode and I can name and shame.
I didn’t read enough this week. Instead I was doing research. But I really do need to get back to reading books. Its a happy place that can’t be taken away from me even in the Florida sun.
Wrap Up
As we head into the final week of May, 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. But we must not rush into things ourselves, even as things change quickly.
The Felon is fading, faster than ever in fact. 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 trying to cancel elections will not stop us from trying to hold them accountable. And once they are gone, may their legacy be tainted by their wicked deeds. Assuming they don’t do something incredibly suicidal and brainless like launching nuclear missiles first. I still have hope things won’t reach that point.
And outside of The Felon, Capitalism, The One World Order that American 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 happy to see me after I was gone on vacation.
