I actually use mine as a disability aid. My motor control isn’t the best so it’s good just to call out for light and heat adjustments.

But I’ve long since come to terms with the fact that if ICE or whoever wanted to come bust me down, there wasn’t anything stopping them before I got what is essentially a home aide, and there’s nothing stopping them now.

Her heart is literally hurting‽ You monster!

Yeah, I can easily lose three hours in one go in front of Arydia.

Less than most, cause a lot of my gaming happens at a table upstairs by myself. I have fun though, and that’s what counts.

We’ve got it on iOS too.

I miss Chaos Rings 2 on my phone so bad, but at least I have that amazing game on my deck now.

I ended up using my phone as my main gaming console for a long time, so I’m reluctant to abandon my gaming library now. :(

iOS stops me pretty quick. But maybe I can explore a bit?

God, I don’t miss that. Honestly, I wish there was an English ten-key equivalent.

QWERTY phones are fine and all, and they work well for English, but sometimes I type with this, and I’m sure as hell not gonna use a slow-ass QWERTY replacement.

I use windows because the fire code mandates it, and cause having sunlight in rooms is nice. Also I can see the weather and when the mail arrives.

I’ve created some absolutely amazing photography in ‘25 and will continue to make even more!

I still try to have a nice hanami. Take my dining table and zabutons and a nice blanket, the good chopsticks and enough cutting boards, hundreds of dollars of sashimi, desserts, rice, the whole works, and lay out a feast there on the Oregon State Capitol grounds, watching the sakura fall, while eating at a classy dining table and generally one-upping everyone else’s hanami.

That’s the holiday I’m invested in.

Yeah, I just celebrate the stuff that made me happy as a kid.

I see. Christianity stole it from the Romans.

It’s always who I suspect the most.

Still though, I get a paid day off work.

I didn’t grow up in a culture that put emphasis on Christmas, and so it’s a very tiny day to me. Meanwhile, my job comes to a standstill for a week about it, stores are selling merchandise for it three months in advance, and everyone I know is heavily invested in it. Since I didn’t grow up with Christmas, it’s hard to really appreciate what it’s about, since the whole tree-burglary-Jesus thing doesn’t have a clear message.

The sweet smell of fucking around and finding out.

Thanks! I do try to make really pretty photography! Here’s my latest project, if you wanted more:

America is a fellatiocracy, and not a peaceful one at that.

I loved it. It was short, brisk, and gay.
