Surviving the Felon: Week of 2/14/2026
I’m back with another instalment of Surviving the Felon. Valentines Day is now past and that means a relative feeling of peace for me. And yet that doesn’t reflect the world. As everything has only grown more chaotic this week. Yet chaos is neither good or evil and it can lean both directions. That chaos is making The Felon’s job harder as his minions are making countless mistakes. And I continue to smile knowing that their incompetence will be what brings them down. Just as it always has throughout history.
More and more of The Felon Files are coming to light. And despite Nazi Barbie trying her best to lie and deceive, its not working. Partially that is because she is an idiot, and we should all be encouraging her to believe she is smart so that she will make more mistakes. Also because these files involve organizations and people all over the world. United States Law does not apply to other nations. All the screaming our politicians are doing to distract fails when they don’t control the entire narrative.
And since all this horrible stuff is tied back to Fascism, those with the levers on power will do whatever it takes to steer the conversation elsewhere. Do not let them. We outnumber them. It is up to us to steer the conversation. We can fight back against controlled narratives and determine our own futures. Let’s work as much as we can to hold mainstream media accountable and then do the same to our leaders.
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, Conflict in 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
Well let’s move beyond the bad part of this post. Nothing really has changed with the list, but how people are reacting to these terrible things is giving me hope. ICE is having trouble in Minnesota and Illinois. And they are having issues in other areas like in Orlando, Florida where I live. Countless people are coming up to bat for justice and watching their every actions. And they are being held accountable and being made unwelcome out on the streets. It is the courtrooms where they are still being protected.
Meanwhile the Fascists are continuing to fight one another. And few things make me happier. If you are reading this and wondering how to help, but are worried about confronting The Gestapo directly, something that can be done is helping fan these flames. Convince the far right to turn on one another. Fracture their power and leave them confused and frustrated. This leads to the chance to break some of them out of the cult and bring them back to reality. Break their unity apart. Divide and conquer isn’t just a method to divide the left. It works on all sorts of groups.
And I mentioned this last week, but it bears repeating. I know it can be disheartening to see people we were convinced were heroes show up in these Felon Files. Its a cruel reminder that power corrupts all sorts of people. Our heroes have to be vetted because unfortunately a lot of people gain fame and power through horrible means. That means something important for those of us striving to be better. We must rise above and not give in to these same terrible behaviors in pursuit of our own dreams and goals. And we can do so while making a better future for all of us.
Transition
This marks three weeks in a row where despite everything feeling gross, I have not felt completely hopeless. What a strange state of affairs. Its hard to continue going to work every day as if this is normal. And yet I have to eat and continue living. Writing is what I can do to stand up for what is right. And its been over a year since I started this specific blog series. I’m proud of this habit, even if I am disgusted that I needed to write these posts every week at all. I have been making an effort to leave the house more. I think my depression creeps in more easily when I don’t go outside. I’ll be trying to go out and do something on weekends, even when the weather doesn’t cooperate and see how I feel.
This blog has been a check in for my friends as well as one for myself. It has been two weeks since my last time in a dark place. Its really a testament to my resilience that I’m able to keep those thoughts away. February is here and with it one of the worst days of the year for me. 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. Valentines Day has historically been the worst day of the year for me. But not this time, I wonder if its a sign of proper healing. I’ll see what happens next year.
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 deeper into February that things will improve.
Video Games
The weather was actually perfect for a walk this week, but Pokémon Go was running several events, so I decided to wait for another exploration post. But I’m not out and about while writing this post. Instead, I’m playing Fire Emblem Path of Radiance. I can’t wait to play the sequel game.
Civilization 7, Baldur’s Gate 3, Genshin Impact, and Helldivers 2 were all games I played this week. Sometimes with friends, and even alone at times. I lost out on a lot of personal growth when I stopped playing Helldivers 2 for so long. So I’m thinking of going back to that game to work on imp[roving myself and toning down my competitive toxic traits.
This week I also did something I have not done in a long time. I played a Pokémon Nuzlocke with randomized spawns and trainer teams. Several failures later and I finally made it past the difficult early game of Black and White. These games have always been my favorite in the series and so it doesn’t bother me having to replay segments with different teams until I can get the right amount of luck to survive.
Pokémon Go
I didn’t go on a Pokémon adventure for my blog, but I did travel to my usual Pokémon Go stomping ground, Cranes Roost in Altamonte Springs, Florida for a raid day. As this happened on Valentines Day, the event featured Enamorus alongside other Pokémon that I had zero interest in. It helped make my February 14th not nearly as terrible.
There wasn’t a tournament battle for me this week as the entire circuit was taking a week off. Next week is my last match for a bit unless my team makes the playoffs. I’ll have an update next week if that happens. I needed the week off given my stress during this time of year, not to mention the frustration of my tough loss the week before.
This weeks battle will be within a meta framework that is being featured in the Go Battle League. So I’ll be using the standard ladder games which at this point in the season for me is lower stakes and the proper place to test different teams and Pokémon to figure out weaknesses and strong cores.
Anime and Shows
This week I watched Sentenced to be a Hero, Fire Force, and Frieren Beyond Journeys End. To Your Eternity did not air an episode this week. I’ll probably end up binging Oshi No Ko since I still have not started it yet.
Sentenced to be a Hero was the best Anime of the week. The first episode showed that this story took place in a dark fantasy setting and while its been filled with blood every episode after, this was the first one that reached the same intensity comparatively. And the end of the episode upped the stakes and made it clear that even the main character does not have plot armor. I’m excited to see what happens next.
I’m nearing the end of the Dressrosa Arc of One Piece. With only about 20 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.
Dungeons & Dragons
This week, I got to run my Centrum Glacies Campaign. The party is currently in a corrupted Druid Enclave fighting Zombie Druids and crazed Cultists using Necromancy. I feel that Druids are not used enough in campaigns both as allies and antagonists and so is a refreshing change to have done both in this campaign.
It wasn’t a long post to write since a majority of it involved combat. But its still worth reading what happened. You can check it out here.
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.
And let me add some more information for you. I am past what was probably the most difficult part of that draft to write. From here on out, I’m rushing headlong towards the climax of not only this book, but the entire arc. What I’ll be writing over the next few weeks are scenes that I have been thinking about for years. The fact that I’ll finally be putting these scenes down on the page is surreal in a way I don’t know how to properly describe.
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 how Chain Letters have fueled Kidnapping Conspiracies. And even learned that these sorts of trends have existed for all of recorded history. Truly proof that we have not changed much as a species. And then to top things off, I also learned about Julius Streicher who was a serious bad Nazi dude. As if there are any other type of Nazi.
Meanwhile I also read more Claymore and its really showing as I get further in just how much Berserk inspired the story. I’m really loving what’s going on in the last couple arcs I read, and according to the internet this is apparently the weakest part of the story. Which makes me wonder how much better what happens next will be.
Wrap Up
As we head into the third week of February, 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,
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 sleeping kitty.
