Surviving the Felon: Week of 10/17/2026
I’m back with another installment of Surviving the Felon. While people around the world are protesting injustice, I have been working constantly at my job. It pains me to know how much I’m missing around the world. Not because I enjoy watching the news, but because positive aspects of revolutions are never televised. Why would the ruling class want to encourage people to stand up to them? But what they are silent about is what we need to do. If protests that cannot be ignored are what you feel brave enough to join, do it. If you like me create art to help inspire others to act, then do that. The key is that we are all in this together. And all of us have a part to play in making the world a better place.
I’m trying to focus on positive as much as I can. After all, with a new job, I’m moving ever closer closer to financial freedom. but for my inner peace, I’ll need to make use of all my free time. A new job brings new stress, but having money offsets a lot of my worst depression and anxiety. I am curious to see how I will feel in a month once I’m in a rhythm and am starting to save. That is all assuming that the job holds. Personally I’m worried about long-term performance in my new career.
Anyway, I want to remind anyone reading this that there is nothing wrong with simply breathing. Sometimes simply choosing to exist is enough. Not every moment needs to be about the hustle and making money. That’s a trick Capitalism plays to turn us into objects instead of people. Focus on leisure time and how to maximize it. The more calm you feel, the harder it is for the ruling class to push you to the brink. Your time belongs to you. They are not allowed to take it from you. Even with a job I’ll still be making the most of my free time.
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, Constantly Evolving Surveillance Systems, Water and Energy Shortages
The Good
Now that we have moved past the negativity on this blog, lets focus on positive things. For example, protests are gaining traction around the world. Not just against The Felon but against anyone who wishes to enslave us for their own personal ends. I keep encouraging those with leftist views to run towards politics. The world is too mired in conservative ideology and is a large part of why we are here. Lots of change is needed. Small changes over time are insufficient.
Data Centers continue to be 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. Oh and the same applies to those flock cameras.
And because it needs to be repeated each week and in this same section, 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. Those who currently have power do not want us to be happy. In fact, Google’s AI spell checker doesn’t think “positivity” is a word. Funny that.
Transition
Work has been grinding me down this week. It was not a good time for me. When I’m in an exhausted state, depression slinks its way in to my head. I cried several times this week and I’m not afraid to admit it. Despair has clutched my heart for over a week. And politics is only a small blip on why. Wondering if my struggles are even worth it constantly grips at my mind, and intrusive thoughts drain energy constantly.
This blog has been a check in for my friends as well as one for myself. October and my favorite time of the year are here. And yet 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 make me happy. I really needed these things this week.
Workouts
At long last, I committed to a workout routine. Everything else I tried didn’t work, but choosing to do my core exercises after I get home at night worked best. Now let’s see if I can complete 25 reps a week of jumping jacks, push-ups, crunches, and bicycle kicks consistently. I won’t be upping the reps until the habit is back.
Video Games
Video Game time has been limited, just like everything else due to my job. Its been almost a month at that now. Anyway, I am playing Civilization 7 right now while writing. After playing only a couple other games for weeks, I wanted a change of pace. And this game is one of the ones that gets me to interact with others. Still isolated most of my non work time, I’ll take any socialization.
Genshin Impact and Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave were the only other games I had time to play. And both have plenty more content to explore. There are other games I want on the horizon. You will hear plenty about that in a month from now.
Pokémon Go
The Des Plaines River was still flooded, but I got tired of not going on hikes, so I started my adventure on a different trail. This one has a different feel from the other trail. Which is really something since the two bike paths are so close to one another. You can read about what I found on that walk here.
I sat out this week in my grassroots league. Work has been crushing me and t has limited how much I can practice. After two weeks of subpar performance, it felt right to let others who are dong better have a chance to win matches.
I still have not been able to work on making a proper schedule for doing go battle league. And that practice I mentioned in the earlier paragraph is part of that. As I get used to my job and new schedule, I’ll need to find time for it. At least I tried this week a little. Since I’m in the lower tiers still, I’m trying a team for fun rather than meta. Perhaps that is what will get me to battle more consistently.
Anime and Shows
Steel Ball Run is the only anime that I am watching weekly right now. Thus there is no point in ranking as the winner is that by default.
Now that I have less shows to watch, I’m working my way through The Land of Wano in One Piece. This is the longest arc in the whole show so expect me to be on it a while. But after the last couple arcs, I’m extremely excited for what I’ll find.
Dungeons & Dragons
Due to my job, I had to move my Centrum Glacies Campaign. to Sundays. And as I write this blog on the same day, there will be a week without a post. I intend to run a session tonight and there will be a write-up available for next week.
Writing and Editing
In addition to my current blog series’, I’m still hard at work at the new one. That one is gonna requires tons of research. And even more time to properly write. When its finished I will make sure to let you know on this blog, as well as in many other places. Its too much work for it not to be read.
More good news on the writing front. I finally get the energy to edit. And even found the perfect time of the day to do so. Since I wake up early enough to have an hour of free time every morning, that moment of peace before work is the perfect time to get that work done. Picking at the edits a little at a time each day ensures that they will continue to get done. I’m eager to share the published product: Earth Everafter Book 1 when I’m done with all the edits and changes.
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 all the different American Masculinity Grifters. And its no surprise that people looking to cause harm would exploit angry men for personal gain. The fact that the same tricks keep working every thirty years or so is a sad reflection of our world.
Wrap Up
October is spooky season. Normally this is my favorite time of the year, but work has prevented me from fully getting into the spirit. While I am calm I want to remind you 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. And his allies are falling over as well. 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 cat.
