Surviving the Felon: Week of 5/9/2026
I’m back with another instalment of Surviving the Felon. As we move farther into May and towards Mother’s Day, its vital that we take time to show our friends and family that we care about them. Community building is one of the hallmarks of fighting Fascism. Those barriers have been eroded away over a long period. Think of statements such as “See Something? Say Something” that teach us to monitor our neighbors and do all the police state work for the autocrats. I can promise you that they don’t monitor their own. After all, they ignore the pedophilia and other terrible things they do in front of one another.
Anyway, back on topic, we are watching our voting rights being snatched away before our very eyes in the United States. The Fascists all around The Felon are frothing at the mouth imagining a world where they harvest our corpses for profit. Voting is the first step to stopping them. But only the first of many. Standing firm against them means much more than simply showing them how we feel. It requires action that ultimately dismantles the power structures that allowed any of this in the first place.
Think about this for a moment. In school we read some combination of Brave New World, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451. But we didn’t read The Anarchist’s Cookbook or Count of Monte Cristo. And why would we. The novels in the first category teach that dystopia is inevitable and impossible to defeat. Meanwhile the second category teaches exactly how to fight back against Fascism. And wastes no time in pointing out that fighting back is violent and messy.
So enough with thinking we can’t defeat The Felon. He is weak and we are strong. Build communities and stop policing one another. Only the ruling class should be under surveillance.
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 I started with a lot of bad for this blog post. I might have even pointed out some tricks that have been keeping you trapped. We need to stop seeing ourselves as moral failures when we realize we have been fooled. Instead, its better to see it as a positive when we throw off the yoke of blindness and learn how to be better. When we learn how to spot the forms of oppression that trap us in suffering
The push for better workers pay continues to catch fire. And data centers keep being stopped around the country. Turns out that if you push the working class and kick us while they are down for too long, we start to bite back. The turn around will be slow, and I fear that our pedophile masters will not take our acts of defiance sitting down. But history has shown that they eventually get their just desserts. We must keep fighting them. Even if we seem like nothing more than gnats, a giant swarm can accomplish a lot.
And lest we feel like The Felon is unstoppable, the fractures in his base are cracking into large segments. The rest of us should fan those flames when we can. The very division they sowed to ensure that the working class would not be able to unify can be used back at them. Break apart their support and the opposition to these pedophiles can grow. The tensions between his supporters continue to grow and we need to start metaphorically shoving those weakest into the void.
Transition
This week I was hindered by a Florida heat wave. Summer is here earl and that means I have to change where I find positive energy from. Even with my mood better, I have to maintain my energy or I could fluctuate too far the other direction and become Manic and insufferable. And of course what goes up must come down. Each day is another where I risk falling back into Depression. And Anxiety episodes strike when least expected. And that fear was realized. I had one day where my mind spiraled out of control. And my mental health was in serious danger. 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. April is heading towards its second full week 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
Workouts
This week I continued at my increased number of reps. 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.
Video Games
With the heat being oppressive and my mind making me feel exhausted more than I want to admit, I turn as always to what helps me unwind most. While I’m writing this blog post, I’m playing Civilization 7. There is a patch coming soon that will change how the game is played, so I’m trying a few things to improve so that when these changes are live, I’ll be that much better prepared to improve playing. Civilization is a game I play with friends and serves as a lifeline when I need human interaction without having the ability to even leave my house.
Other games that helped me get through the week included Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Elden Ring and Genshin Impact. I’m more than halfway through the main story of that first one. And it has been liberating to play a game I never got a chance to as a kid. As I get older I keep getting mired in playing the same games over and over.
I want to talk about Genshin a little. In a few weeks a patch involving a story I have waited years to play out is about to be added. A character I have eagerly awaited be added too. And given the sheer amount of lore about to be added, I might be hyper focused on that game in the near future. For several weeks or more depending on what happens
Pokémon Go
It was a rough week for me in Pokémon Go. Not only was I unable to go outside, but I performed extremely poorly in my tournament matches. It was disheartening and demoralizing. I threw my matches and played terribly. Worse, I did so with several of my teammates watching and telling me in real time exactly what I did wrong.
There was a community day this week and the weather made the spawns higher level than normal. Which was a bad thing because for optimal play in PvP where I it will be useful, the Pokémon in question, Oinkologne needs to be lower level. At least its a common Pokémon. so I’ll be sure to find a good one eventually. But I’ll need to use rare items to bring it up to speed.
Where I feel like I am stalling the most is in the Go Battle League. It has been several seasons since I made Veteran and I have been unable to make it back there since. I know I’m improving, but not at a consistent rate. I started streaming some games and am now realizing I’m even worse off than I thought. I’ll have to keep fighting the feelings to just give up on this. It has been all too common in my life to do so when realizing my own inadequacies.
Anime and Shows
A new season of Anime continues and with several shows for me to watch. This season I’m watching: Re:Zero, Daemons of the Shadow Realm, Witch Hat Atelier, and Dr. Stone.
The best episode of the week went back to Re:Zero. Not only giving a backstory to one of the more mysterious characters, but setting up some serious lore implications moving forward. I’ll be eager to see how the other shows do to compare with this one. But I won’t count the other shows out just yet.
I made it to the Whole Cake Island Arc of One Piece. I’m digging on, pun intended. And given what has happened so far, this is shaping up to be an incredible story segment. Its a longer arc but that’s fine given what has happened so far. With how there are places made of food and given the other imagery shown, I have a bad feeling about where things are going next.
Dungeons & Dragons
The next arc of my Centrum Glacies Campaign started off to an incredible start. Stories that didn’t seem aligned at all converged and my players are now left wondering what’s happening all around them I fully intend for this to be a showstopper arc since it will end with my players confronting a character that I set up in the very first session of the entire story. And for very different reasons each one of the characters has a reason for hunting him down.
It would be better for you to read what happened in last week’s session. You can check it out 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.
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 William Baily and his crazy scams that caused tons of people to die from radiation poisoning. That story also served as an important lesson when it comes to scam artists. Jail time only encourages them. We have to figure out better punishments for these people or they will continue to hurt people for profit.
Unfortunately, I was lacking in energy to properly read this week. I have to get it together because reading is a pastime that helps me breath and relax. Its noticeable how much my mood changes when I don’t do this.
Wrap Up
As we head into the second 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 sleeping cat.
