People sometimes ask why I don't sleep in the storage unit where I keep clothes (which enables me to stay cleaner and look less homeless). Besides breach of contract, trespass, and cameras, these shared rolling stairs of death I need to get up and down from it don't help.
Someone DMed to ask how they could send a few $$ and suggested I set up a ko-fi. Those who've known me for years know the only donation requests I post are for others struggling.
But I did make a page, and the link's in my bio if you want to help out w/ my storage, laundry and prescription costs 💙

Pretty sure my body's a car. Every time I take it in for a quick oil change, I leave with a long list of needed repairs. Now I'm knocking them out one by one.
Had a stent placed in my heart. Not sure if I survived or died and went to Hell. How is one supposed to tell the difference? 🤔

facing a "greater of two kindnesses" choice
i know what i want
i know what i should want
the question is how to weight the deciding formula
the result may be the same regardless
but the endgame will be different

Operation successful, probably. I'm about 50 grams lighter now without my gallbladder. I do not recommend including this approach in your own slimming plan.

Sitting at the town square. An unhoused senior, a Chinese immigrant who came here many years ago and worked hard raising a family, stands near the fountain doing Tai Chi alone as the sun sets. She does the same forms every day and I almost have them memorized. Soon I'll ask to join her.

wtf is this hot garbage?
I dislike Hollywood and their egotistical revisionism.
Take something good, rewrite it, and change what made it good and popular.

I run into Buddy at the store. Buddy is only a few years younger than myself. We get in the same checkout lane and are chatting.
Cashier: Hi, Buddy! Is this your father?

Last week, ScummVM announced that they’ve started testing their World Builder engine, with support for hundreds of old Mac adventure games. Here’s why I’m excited about it, and why you should be too! robotspacer.tv/news/scummvm...

Console/video game box collecting-type folks: what would be the proper way to clean this box that sat undisturbed for ~19 years? These photos are after I shot it off with compressed air. I cleaned the corner with a barely wet paper towel, but it’s cardboard so I imagine getting it wet is bad. Thanks

My first EP ever "Wait" is out now! It's a mix of a bit of chiptune, chillwave and downtempo-y genres. It's been a TIME getting this out due to hard drive death 💀 but it's kinda wild to finally have it here now!
Hope you enjoy some part of it! 😊❤️
