Surviving the Felon: Week of 9/06/2025
I’m back with another instalment of Surviving the Felon. It was my birthday week, and although I didn’t get the ultimate present of The Felon gone from this world for good, I did get a chance to reflect on my feelings for the year. Normally my birthday has been a time of great anguish. Normally I feel like a failure that is slowly wasting their life away. And getting a year older has always reinforced that. But this year, perhaps given everything happening in the world, that wasn’t on my mind.
Instead, The Felon and his cronies are living rent free in my head. Depression is being pushed away by anxiety and worry. While I am hopeful that the Fascists will eat each other before long, I dread what they will do to everyone else before they reach that point. And yet I refuse to let the despair that they spread take hold. Simply smiling and finding happiness in this world is a form of rebellion against their opression.
I’m focusing on writing and creating to take my mind off things. While AI slop is being pushed, that garbage will never take away the satisfaction I get for creating my own stuff. I won’t let the capitalist class tell me that writing stories is a waste of my time. Making money in the end is a waste of time. Creating something to leave behind that makes the world a better place is far more important than making money for sociopaths like The Felon.
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.
As the Closeted Heel Man continues his war against rainbows, The Felon has started a couple new ones. First, he attacked a ship in international waters. Not only is this a serious crime with consequences from all over the world, but it is yet another sign that we are as a nation in danger due to his antisocial tendencies. Few things would please me quite like The Hague arresting The Felon and putting him in front of an international tribunal court. In fact, the only way that could get better if all his buddies were snatched alongside him and all tried as international terrorists.
Hitting a bit more close to home, The Felon has also declared war on my hometown of Chicago. I’m worried about my friends and family who will be caught in the crosshairs of a petty vendetta against Barrack Obama who had the audacity to succeed as President while being a black man. Still, Chicago knows how to deal with terrorists like The Felon. I’m hoping his weak soldiers get a strong Chicago welcome.
His final war is against anyone but his followers having firearms. In a strange twist where even the NRA is against his statements, The Felon wants to strip Trans Americans of their rights to have a firearm. And he’s using the pretext of mental illness to do so. But we should remember that it is The Felon and people like him who are mentally ill. Not the people he is targeting.
The Good
Well we made it past all the bad. And I know I am missing some bad stuff. I’ll cover RFK at some point and all the harm he is causing, but that is for another post. Instead I want to focus on the good. Especially how people are fighting back against The Felon and Closeted Heel Man. Chalk is being used at crosswalks all around Florida forcing the police to play whack a mole. And I am confident that the people will win that game.
As far as The Felon and his war in Chicago, he has never been able to defeat the city. I know that he will be crushed there again. Between Pritzker having no problem standing up to him, and salt trucks being in the way, I know that my home city will stand against him. He will lose. Just like he always does. One thing that is consistent with The Felon is that he is a weak man that has always lost every venture he has tried.
Another thing worth celebrating is that the GOP is slowly turning on The Felon when it comes to the Epstein Files. I’m not sure what is in that stuff that has The Felon so afraid, but we must continue pressing the attack. Leave him afraid at night. No not let him have a single moment of rest. Leave him covered in sweat so that his health will deteriorate. Time will remove him from our world.
Transition
Well the politics part of this blog post is above. Below as always will be what I am doing in my personal life to keep smiling. Remember that simply being happy in these horrible times is an act of defiance. Feeling down and angry plays into what the ruling class wants. So instead, find what makes you smile and find your light.
I know its not always easy to smile. Since I have chronic depression, sometimes I feel down for seemingly no reason at all. But that doesn’t mean I throw in the towel and admit defeat. Depression battles me every day and so I must use every tool at my disposal to combat it. If you are looking for something to take your mind off things, try clicking some links. There is a reason I post them when I talk about my interests.
Workouts
My mental health may have been sound this past week. But my physical health was another story. Not only was I sick the week before, but I was even more sick this week. Between a fever, physical weakness, and dizziness, I wasn’t able to commit to any workouts. Its frustrating and I feel like refusing to better my body due to illness feels like an excuse. I need to go back to doing workouts as soon as possible so that I can form a proper habit. At least the weather is starting to cool down. Within a month or two I’ll finally be able to go on hikes again.
Video Games
The hot Florida summer continues, and I was sick too. In fact I’m still sick while writing this blog post. But that just meant I stayed inside and played video games. Shocker right? I spent the first part of this post watching shows while writing, but I’ll be playing Expedition 33 to help me finish the rest. I’m exploring a lot of the end game areas and doing all the side quests before going on to beat the game.
I am excited for this week because Genshin Impact has a patch coming this upcoming Tuesday. And the game will at long last let me travel to Snezhnaya. I have waited since Covid to travel to this part of the game. And I would be lying if wanting to see the full story wasn’t a thing keeping me alive on some of my darkest days.
I got one of my friends into Elden Ring and I helped him defeat Malenia this weekend. The fight is one of the most difficult in the game. And in a game well known for difficulty. Still, I have defeated her on several characters and got to experience things in coop which made the fight feel different.
I also played a little bit of Helldivers 2 this week, but regressed a little emotionally while playing. After one very frustrating game, I had to stop playing because of an Autism Meltdown. Sometimes I regress to an older me and that just means I have that much more work to do to improve.
Pokémon Go
Unlike last week, this time around I did not go outside to play Pokémon Go. Instead I’m focusing on the new PvP season and joined a couple Discord Servers to learn how to play the game better. Talking to like minded people is helping me improve my game and it doesn’t hurt to make new friends in a community that is a big part of my life.
Anime and Shows
I am caught up on all the Anime I’m watching that is airing this season. The list continues to grow and now includes: Dandadan, My Dress Up Darling, Kaiju No. 8, Rising of the Shield Hero, Call of the Night Dr. Stone, Gachiakuta, and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt.
Dr Stone once again was the standout Anime. People are dying including fan favorite characters. And the way this episode ended makes me wonder what will happen next.
I didn’t get to watch Alien: Earth this week because I lack the streaming service needed to watch it. Any friends want to help me? I also started another show, but this one has already aired. After being told several times by several people about a Chinese Anime to check out, I started watching Lord of Mysteries. True to its name, there are a lot of mysteries to uncover. I’m trying my best to keep up but the story is solid so far.
I made a little progress in One Piece but I’m still in Fishman Island. I’ll see if I can sit down and finish this arc. Because I am eager to see the next several beyond it.
Dungeons & Dragons
I wasn’t the only one sick this week. Illness seems to be getting a lot of people right now and so I did not run a session of my Centrum Glacies Campaign. Still, I used the week to prepare for the future. I have plenty of content ready for my players and I’m excited for where the story is heading.
Writing and Editing
I changed gears this week and went back to editing my Earth Everafter Novel. I’m more than halfway done with this round of revisions. But I feel like I still have a lot of work to do before this story is ready to be published. But as a novel that I’m starting to market to build an audience, its better that I do things right rather than quickly.
Reading
I am deep into Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic now. And I’m still at the part of the story that the Anime adapted. I’m curious to see how far into the Manga the show actually delved. Its a fantastic story, and as usual, the Manga adds bits that the Anime skipped over.
Wrap Up
September is here and I’m a year older. I intend to be here next year too and will spend the entire time standing against The Felon and his cronies. They will not take my smiles from me. Nor my joy. They cannot win and will fail in everything they stand for. Soon the weather will cool off and I’ll be able to go on hikes again. My mental health will be much more secure and I’ll be able to dedicate more time to fight against Fascism.
I will continue to write and I encourage everyone reading this to create art in some form. Do not let the idea of some program stealing your work deter you. Those programs were created by people who lack an artistic spark. Their goal is to steal the work of those with real talent and claim it as their own. As usual, Capitalists are just thieves that have created a society that allows them to steal from their betters. Do not let these worthless parasites steal your light.
The Felon is weakening and this is our chance to grow stronger. Our heartbeats and drowning him out. They are silencing him in Orlando, Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, and Portland. His screams will drowned out by our love and light. He cannot win. Fascism will fail and those who support it will be punished. All we need to do is hold out long enough to see it with our own eyes.
We will resist The Felon together. With our hearts and souls beating in unison.
Look at this cat not caring about The Felon. We should be like cat and ignore sociopaths.
