Surviving the Felon: Week of 04/25/2026
I’m back with another installment of Surviving the Felon. And the news that has been exhausting me for weeks is finally starting to weaken in intensity. That is except for all the Antisemitism going around. Even after The Felon is gone and only a bad dream, I fear that this other problem will loom large. But we can’t ignore all the terrible things The Felon’s minions commit in his name. Yet, being aware and letting it consume us are two different things.
A notable piece of bad news is an assassination attempt on The Felon. Naturally given the sheer amount of chaos happening right now, people are quick to point fingers and lay blame. And since we live in a time where truth is obscured people tend to jump to conspiracy theories on the word go. I’m still waiting to see The Felon’s reaction before I make any judgment calls. His lack of intelligence and being surrounded by yes men means no one will question his foolishness.
With all that in mind, do not let these horrible things exhaust you. Lead by example rather than reactively. Bring light and love into your world and cast out those who share the sickening views I mentioned above. Whether they be pedophiles, rapists, domestic abusers, or some combination of the three, these people should not be protected. They need to be shunned. And the fact that they have power over others means that they need to be dragged down and destroyed before they can cause more harm. Do not let their rot steal our smiles. Destroy their power and kick their support structures down.
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
For a lot of this week, I found myself in a haze. Though in some way, that actually protected me from a lot of the more horrible things that happened this week. Anyway, this post is supposed to move through terrible things quickly to focus on those positive things that give our lives meaning in these dark times. So let’s get to it.
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 them 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.
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.
Transition
This week I was not hindered by my mental health. Instead it was my physical health that got in the way. Specifically pain in my feet. This stopped me from taking a Pokewalk when I was already at a park. Which was frustrating. Still, I found plenty of reasons to smile and even found hope in odd places. Moving forward I’ll need to adapt some new coping mechanisms because the current ones are starting to fracture. 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.
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 brought me joy.
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
Well I was physically unable to go on a proper walk. So what did I do instead? Well in case the header above didn’t tip you off, you already should know the answer if you read this blog frequently. Like last week I’m playing Civilization 7 while also watching a show. And if you read my blog last week, you already know the show too.
Elden Ring and Genshin Impact are as usual constant games. But I didn’t spend nearly as much time on this week as last. Part of that was because I played several Civilization games with friends. But there is another reason. And its because of a different game that I took far too long a break on.
After waiting too long for reasons that in hindsight are superficial and pointless, I finally went back to playing Metroid Prime 4. And despite how much the internet has spent time hating this game, even to the point of messing with my own opinion, I found myself enjoying the game. I’m nearing the end of the game and only have a collection side quest to go. And once I finish this game, I have some more to check out and complete on that gaming queue.
Pokémon Go
This week, as I mentioned earlier, I was dealing with foot pains and only realized their full extent when I actually tried to go on a hike. A shame because those walks really help my mental health. Not to mention that with the Florida summer approaching, my chance to go on those walks will be drastically reduced.
This week I was warming the bench for my team. But that didn’t stop me in competing in a side tournament. One with different rules and faster match turn around. I already had 3 battles and only have one more before the scores will be totaled. It hasn’t been my best showing as I have won 4 games and lost 5. Still, I have not gone completely without a win in even a single round and considering that much higher skilled players than me are participating, it only means I’m improving.
Speaking of improvement, I have tried Master League in the open battle league. And while I’m not winning a lot of games, its a good feeling to finally feel like I can try everything Pokémon Go pvp has to offer.
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.
Re:Zero was once more the clear stand out. Featuring one of my favorite episodes in some time with some of the most brutal death shown in almost two seasons, I couldn’t look away. Its gonna tough to beat this show if this level of intensity continues.
I’m nearing the end of the Zou Arc of One Piece. In fact I’m watching it right now while I write this post to see if I can make it to the end. This one is a lot shorter than the prior arc so I don’t think it will take too long. Turns out there really were some closely guarded secrets revealed in this arc that are setting up the next several ones.
There is another show that I need to catch up on and it will be a while before I make it through all of it given the episode length. But I forgot how much I enjoyed watching The Boys. I have most of Season 4 still, much less Season 5 after it. And I need to Gen V as well. That’s plenty to watch and I have even more to catch up on beyond that.
Dungeons & Dragons
This week in my Centrum Glacies Campaign continued a major milestone in the story. Even more than last week. And I said this last week. Not only did the party clash with a powerful Witch. And not only is she one of the main antagonists in the story, not only did she reveal herself to be the Queen of Psychic Vampires, but now her minions have managed to summon illusions of one of the other main antagonists in the story.
In the confusion and all around wild battle, nothing can be taken at face value. You can read about what happened here.
Writing and Editing
I’m almost caught up on my Earth Everafter Book 1 edits. But after I finish those edits, I’ll need to rewrite two entire chapters before I can send things back to my editor again. I’ll probably be reaching out him ahead of time before we continue for some ideas on how to change these chapters. As they are pivotal and set up the final sequence of events in the story.
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. Anyway, that is something to look forward to once I finish edits. As well as a convenient excuse to not edit as fast as I should be.
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 “Lord” Aspinall Gambling King and Zookeeper, And probably one of the worst bastards I have ever learned about on this podcast: King Leopold II.
I finished Brandon Sanderson‘s novel Defiant. And I discovered that the next novel set in this universe comes out on my birthday. I’m excited to see what he can bring into this story given that he has become a much better writer in the meantime.
Wrap Up
As we head into the final week of of April, 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. He was rushed to a hospital this weekend. Might we get some good news soon. 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 a war in the Middle East will not stop them from vanishing. 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 sleeping cat.
