Surviving the Felon: Week of 6/20/2026
I’m back with another instalment of Surviving the Felon. The last week of June is coming and with it the extreme Florida heat that limits how much I can safely be outside. A shame because going on walks and getting away from screens helps me deal with my mental health. Instead I’m trapped inside if I don’t want to risk sunburn or heat exhaustion. Right where the Felon and his goons want me.
Instead I’ll continue focusing on what makes me smile. Even if others have issue with how I spend my leisure time. But then again their opinions matter not when it comes to how I find happiness. I’m not hurting others unlike the Fascists who are trying to speed run how much they can harm and hurt. Really the only thing I have in common with these parasites is breathing oxygen. And I wish they would stop taking what is not their right.
Remember to breath. The Felon and those like him want to find ways to monetize even that. But for now, you are able to take a moment and put it in perspective before acting. So drink water too. They want to take that away from us. Do the things that you need to survive so that you can reclaim energy and thrive. This is our world. And we will take it back from those that want to steal it from everyone else.
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, Cover up of ICE’s Terrorism by the FBI, Bombings in Iran and around the Middle East, A world run by pedophiles, Hate Crimes against several cultures, Election Interference, The Redacted Epstein Files, People Gambling over what War Crimes will be committed next, A Global Economy Threatened due to the Iran War, Anti Immigration Riots
The Good
Its always a relief to move past the negative on this blog. The news spends way too much time and effort leaving us feeling like we are sinking into a mire. Instead let’s focus on the positive things happening around the world. Its what the Felon doesn’t want us to do. He would be more than happy if we were depressed and powerless. Let’s do the opposite. And to start, I want to cheer on those opposing Fascism around the world. Whether it be counter protesting these anti immigration riots, or standing up for justice even at the risk of government retaliation.
Data Centers are being fought against around the United States and around the world. These strains on our world bring no benefit and an endless amount of harm to the environment and our daily lives. And its clear based on how fast they can be built that we could focus the same effort to infrastructure and build another world. Maybe even with the same materials that we can gather from those data centers and the dangerous flock cameras. Remember that these places and items contain valuable metals.
And because it needs to be repeated each week, more and more politicians that are not beholden to big money are scoring victories. The oligarchs are starting to lose power and trust me they will do something insane to try and take it back. We will not let them. This is our world. Our future that is at stake and its time we took it back. Meter by meter if need be. But each day we outlast them is another victory. The Felon is a corpse rotting away. We can survive him. And once he is gone, it will be time to mend our world and ensure that others like him cannot take power again.
Transition
This week was my first full week back with no vacation. Things returned to normalcy which is sad if I’m being honest. Trapped inside and getting locked into repetition is not good for me. I fought back depression and anxiety this week, but there are some things on the horizon that might make managing my mental health more difficult. And like last week, I keep thinking about how much more I could do in my life if I was not chained to a job. It makes me anxious for my future. Sometimes it feels like everything I want is slipping away.
This blog has been a check in for my friends as well as one for myself. June is here 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? I’m making some big changes in my life over the coming months. I’ll have more to tell when I am ready.
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
Now that I’m back and falling back into my normal routine, I am doing my core workouts as I am supposed to. 20 reps of Jumping Jacks, Pushups, Squats, and Bicycle Kicks. And after all the walking in Chicago, I seem to have strengthened my body a bit. I’ll likely be increasing those reps come July.
Video Games
Back from vacation and not able to go outside much leaves just one thing to do that makes me happy. Video games of course if it wasn’t clear from the header above. Right now I’m giving Resident Evil 1 Remake another try. Not on stream though since I’m using a guide so that I can solve the puzzles faster. I know its a great game with an incredible story, but it feels dated compared to when I played Resident Evil 3 Remake.
Meanwhile, I also have played Elden Ring, Genshin Impact, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Civilization 7 with friends and solo. These games keep popping up on this blog because I keep finding more reasons each week to continue playing them.
I also continued exploring childhood nostalgia and frustration by playing more Donkey Kong 64. Younger me must have been insane to continue retying some of the minigames without save states. I am glad they exist now though as I don’t want to get grief from the video games I play. There is enough of that to go around outside my house.
Pokemon Go
Pokémon Go has a special daily event happening right now that encourages trainers to pick a task and earn rewards. I have been selecting the catch tasks since I am not getting to explore much outside of what I normally do at work. A good thing my apartment has a Pokestop and plenty of spawns so I don’t have to go anywhere on the weekend if I’m too tired to do so.
I’m still doing battles in my PvP grassroots league. There just are not any active tournaments that I am a part of right now. There will be more soon. The season is just not starting anew until September I think. I’ll find some little tournaments to take part in until the big one starts back up.
As far as GoBattle League I’m taking my time so I don’t get burned out. It wouldn’t do me any good to burn out and not want to play anymore when so much of the gameplay has ben a mental health boost. Even as the summer grows too hot to be outside often, I can still play when I go shopping or when I have chances to pull over and take some time to myself while traveling.
Anime and Shows
I was able to catch up on everything I’m watching. Those shows include: Re:Zero, Witch Hat Atelier, and Daemons of the Shadow Realm, and Dr. Stone.
Re:Zero had one of the best episodes I have seen in quite a while, but that didn’t take away from the fact that Witch Hat Atelier and Dr. Stone also had incredible episodes this week. Daemons of the Shadow Realm is likely building up to something incredible too. It isn’t as incredible yet, but I’ll trust that the woman who wrote Fullmetal Alchemist knows what she is doing.
I’m making my way through the Whole Cake Island Arc of One Piece. I’m digging in, pun intended. This is my favorite arc post time skip. I am at the edge of my seat as an ever larger number of plots converge into a satisfying story. This is shaping up to be a truly nightmarish story arc. And the stakes only are getting more insane as these plots all come to fruition.
Dungeons & Dragons
Most of my Centrum Glacies Campaign this week was dominated by a single and goofy fight that was a friendly battle between powerful adventurers. But something darker lurks nearby and my players will learn just what next week.

Writing and Editing
I finished the first third of my sixth Search for Eden Novel. Science fiction continues to be harder to write than fantasy, but its a rewarding experience. I can’t wait to write the next segments as I’m basically free to world build in a setting where I make the rules. With science and specially physics guiding my hand of course.
I’m free of editing for the time being. But I’ll be back to that soon enough. Just waiting on my editor to work his magic and make a story much better with reccomendations.
Reading and Podcasts
I have continued listening to Behind the Bastards led by Robert Evans and learning about some truly horrible people. I’m on a longer series and not quite done with it yet. I keep getting distracted by Elden Ring Lore Videos that I have been listening to instead. But don’t worry, I’ll get back to this.
I also continued reading The Rose Field which is the final book in Phillip Pullman’s Book of Dust Series. I’m eager to finish this series, though it saddens me that I’ll have to hunt for new reading material after.
Wrap Up
As we head towards the end of June, 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 picture of a cat.
