The Happiest Birthday

The Happiest Birthday

A quick rumination on my 36th birthday.

My Long Twitter Good-Bye

Wherein I expound at length about the final, bittersweet end of my Twitter journey.
My Cynical take for how this whole AI backlash is going to go.

My Cynical take for how this whole AI backlash is going to go.

Just a quick, bitter prediction that I can then point to in a few years and say "I was right." (or "Well that was wrong.")
Jousting with Jouska

Jousting with Jouska

​"Jouska - a hypothetical conversation that you play out over and over in your head. For example, replaying an argument in your head where you say all the right things and 'win' the argument, or practising asking your boss for a raise and playing out his or her responses and your comebacks." My other half deals with this a lot and I finally decided to examine the phenomenon with him. A talk ensued...
Twirritation

Twirritation

Someone I follow on Twitter wrote that they would summarily block anyone on their timeline who mentioned a certain subject. That sort of behaviour irritated me. I shall now vent on that for a bit.
Sadly, I'm not sad to see this era end.

Sadly, I'm not sad to see this era end.

Just me rambling about my dissatisfactions with the Chibnall era. Please feel free to ignore.
Got wood?

Got wood?

Police Telephone Boxes are made of concrete, not wood. So why has the new series of Doctor Who repeatedly referred to the TARDIS outer shell as being made of wood? TL;DR it's probably Ian Marter's fault! Click in to see why!

"You thought it was stubbornness, but it was me, Trauma, all along!"

Wherein I discover the truth of my own dysfunction.

Greed

Just some anger at the misery of human greed.
Meditations on guilt, apathy, distancing and noninterventionism

Meditations on guilt, apathy, distancing and noninterventionism

TL;DR: I hate getting involved in things that are none of my business, and then I hate myself for not wanting to make it my business, and I question my ethical centre.

A high-level look into how I put together a Coronavirus mental Health PSA in Photoshop
What the fuck do I say?

I have so many friends and acquaintances legitimately afraid of dying and I don't know what to tell them.
Random Thinkings on Coronavirus

Random Thinkings on Coronavirus

A rambling reflection on the sudden left turn the world has suddenly seemed to take as history shifts around the nexus called "COVID-19", the Coronavirus.
I'm just done with people.

I'm just done with people.

Fuck Brexit and the horse it rode in on (and the horse we'll be riding out on). Fuck Corbyn, Fuck Johnson, Fuck Farage, Fuck the voters who just decided they didn't give a shit about their own well being, Fuck Twitter for giving me any kind of hope, Fuck Everything. FUCK. (Less sweary take inside, but just imagine I'm still swearing throughout all of it.)

"Joker" is nothing to Laugh about.

My hot take on Joker after having seen it. I think it does a disservice to the mentally ill / socially maladapted among us...
24 September 2019: Justice comes to Helltown

24 September 2019: Justice comes to Helltown

​24 September 2019. Perhaps the day the moral arc of the universe began to bend back towards justice, bent by the persistent hand of dedicated individuals who risked safety, reputation and career to hold to account the larger-than-life criminals who sought to pervert Democracy into their own personal playgrounds of prestige and profit. The first day that's made me hopeful politically in a long time...

Workplace power Dynamics and Abusive Relationships

Just a musing on how a bad work environment is mental abuse.
I've Something in common with Eric Idle.

I've Something in common with Eric Idle.

In Eric Idle's new autobiography, he mentions his dilemma of being connected to so many countries and yet being ashamed to commit to one. In much the same situation, I feel the same. I have reproduced the section below and it's so sad to see my pain echoed elsewhere:
Hands out of my Memory Jar.

Hands out of my Memory Jar.

I've a theory on why introverted, socially-underdeveloped people like myself find it so very hard to forget-or forgive-certain events and trespasses in their life and find them occupying too much mind-space. I think our memory jars are too empty. What does that mean? Read on~ (this sort of rambles)
On the Curious Comfort of having a Cold

On the Curious Comfort of having a Cold

​I am currently afflicted with a cold, chills and a fever, which happens to me from time to time. It makes me sleepy, weak, and even more irritable than usual, yet at the same time evokes a sense of comforting nostalgia within me that makes me smile..(!)
Shower Thoughts on Currency Transfer in the Age of the Beast

Shower Thoughts on Currency Transfer in the Age of the Beast

So, as I was showering this morning, as it always happens, I had a thought. No, not one of _those_. That was my _second_ thought. But I digress~ I had a thought about the quick transmission of American money and the destruction of paper cash society. Yay! Read on if you dare...

[ More than ] Just a Children's Show~

[ More than ] Just a Children's Show~

The casting of the Thirteenth Doctor as female has led to a great deal of words being said across the Internet and the world about Doctor Who, and it has caused me to reflect, not on the decision--which I think is wholly right and proper--but on the general question of why something that happens in Doctor Who--a Children's Television programme--matters, and what its place in the world is. And why I revulse internally when I hear it referred to as one, even though that's exactly what it is. Why does the Programme mean so much to me?
We must be kind.

We must be kind.

Warning, this is a ramble about the world and politics and things. Stay away if you want.

Virtual Unreality

Virtual Unreality

So, after having finally upgraded my Samsung Phone, I got a free Gear VR as a Pre-order Bonus. Yes! Virtual Reality in the palm of my hand. As a true geek, I was unreasonably excited for this. Who hasn't dreamed of donning a headset and physically entering Cyberspace? It's a Cyberpunk dream. I got the package yesterday, and quickly set it up. And then I was terrified. not because the content was scary... but because it was too good. I, for the first time, understood what the Luddites probably felt. Oblige me as I explain...

A View of the Stormfront

​So Many puns I could have used here. “Welcome to the WHITE House” or “It’s going to be a WHITE Christmas.” But I chose a NeoNazi one because it’s more thematically apt...
No I’m not dead, which never ceases to amaze me.

No I’m not dead, which never ceases to amaze me.

​These days I spend a great deal of time being a shoulder of support for my various friends, most of whom have varying degrees of suffering in their lives at any given time, as do we all. And I do my utmost to reassure them that they are not alone, that things will be fine, that they do not have to fall alone into a cold abyss. I try to be a sort of social support, if you will– which is hard, as I’m inherently introverted by nature...

Do it for (Her, Him, Them)

You know, being young and free of responsibility and obligation is amazing. You don’t have to be beholden to anyone, and you are master of your own destiny. Then, adulthood, and relationships and connections....
IT'S A TRAP

IT'S A TRAP

I’m going to ask you all to indulge my whinging for a moment, because I think this is an important screed. I hate the new Sailor Moon based game “Moon Drops”.

No, this isn’t a slashfic. Though now I’m pondering it… Consider Japan’s take on the virtual performer versus America's...
blog image

~explanation~

I'm a snarky, semi-horrible human being given to penning intentionally bad epic slashfiction involving improbable objects and individuals, with the ultimate ambition of befouling Kindle with it one day,which is ostensibly what this blog is for.

In practice, however, it tends to mainly be a circular file for my various thoughts and ideas, some whimsical and others not, in addition to my various Photoshop experiments, mainly collections of what I originally generated for Twitter but now do for Mastodon Threads Bluesky thanks to Twitter becoming a fascist hellscape.

I also have a sideproject doing art for my addition to Doctor Who fanon, Karnian Script which is a more sigil-based, witchy take on Galifreyan variants.
