Synthesizer-obsessed. Obscure punk rock nerd. Unironic pop music fan. Antiauthoritarian Lefty AF. Queer. Uh, Magic: The Gathering and shit too.
Going into the first two eps of the sixth Doctor and I remember people I liked complaining about Peri, but goddamn — she's fine. Regen Doctor is always rough, but somehow it managed to outdo a lot of the shit that makes really old Dr Who uncomfortable.

25 years & I don't miss her any less. There's a visceral feeling as if I'd seen her yesterday. Yet even at levels below intellectual, her absence is clear. I guess, what I'm getting at is: part of me can't escape this feeling that she'll be back soon. I think that irrationality has kept me alive.

Hearing Cheney finally died on the morning of the fifth anniversary of Metzger finally kicking it is odd. Neither should've made it to 80. Both men should've swung.

Lol, bottom of plat to diamond in one night of BO1 with only a single loss on a fucking dumb moogle donate deck. What the fuck is this game.

Finished Mawdryn Undead in my Dr Who rewatch and I'm now convinced Turlough was a failed attempt to make Adric look good in retrospect and that we need to revive Nicholas Courtney so that the Brigadier can finally have his go as a traveling companion and hopefully love interest for the Doctor.

Besides how it ignores the right's mirror/often more extreme version, one reason I hate the leftist infighting meme: it's used as a sort of thought terminating cliche. Realized that the way this is weaponized to shut down criticism or queries played into why I didn't reach out to a group today.

One of those things that occasionally comes to mind and makes me sad that has been recurring since I was like 15: I wish Malatesta could've lived to see Mussolini's demise.

Why I adore Demonic Pact as a 60 card win condition: Yeah, you can build it slightly different ways, but it'll always be somewhat telegraphed by nature. And in that, in spite of frequently winning in a way that tilts some, it feels as honest as death by combat step to my mind.

After going so long without a PR card, now that I got help and finally submitted that application — poof! Sudden anxiety about the permanent not being so permanent and getting sent back down to... all that. Fuckin' trauma brain shit.

Sometimes I'm not very smart. Turns out listening to an album of music you recorded in one of the most emotionally tumultuous eras of your life outside of your small years when you're already dysregulated is a bad idea. Huh. Whodathunkit.

Having a bug bite over the exact little patch you routinely get annoying neuropathic itches is fucking annoying. One I can't scratch and shouldn't because it's making the skin dark and doesn't do shit all. One that I can scratch, shouldn't, BUT IT FEELS SO GOOD.

Your bday message from your mom (I presume): HBD, ILY.
Mine: message covering topics like how she should off herself because no one loves her, how rotten I am, how amazing I am, retellings of family lore (CSA, violence, suicide) and I think an attempt at pulling me into family drama. Lol.

The siloing of "idpol" from "real class struggle" is an enactment of racism, misogyny and queerphobia by white dudes who believe their oppression by capital is real and our oppression by them is either fake or an unimportant epiphenomenon.

The self destructive urge to listen to music you know only makes you feel worse on those hard anniversaries - because sometimes what the hell else is there to do.

"I think the Sixties...is a barrier to young people today. They think...what we're doing is not that. But...it always felt embattled and small...a small group of people relative to the opposition." — edited for length, Bernadine Dohrn quote that feels so damn relevant versus some convos I have.

I can't recommend this book more. It's relevant, well researched, and is a genuine page turner - surprisingly easy to read.

This goes x10 if you came up through the North American noise/industrial/weird music/edgy dark shit world too.

If you can't afford it, request it at your library like I did!

My first CD was a debate between Tubthumper & ...Baby One More Time. I chose the Chumbawamba because it was $2 cheaper.

I joke this was when I set myself on the anarchist in black workwear path over the pink, glitter and eyeliner I flirted with a lot more when I was young and - there's truth there.

the issue is not just ICE.

we can live free and safe. or we can have police like we have right now.

we cannot do both
LAPD assisted by the Huntington Beach Police just came in full force firing munitions and with Horse support. Someone was trampled. Another has a serious head injury.

That ongoing chasm of terror that exists between doing your genuine best to be open, honest, and transparent... and finding yourself treated like a you've already been labeled noncompliant.

Or, a thing I wish didn't exist in my brain or in reality but which I can't seem to do anything about either.

The friend I live with has another of his ADHD stereotype friends over and is helping him unravel all his accounts as he'd managed to get locked out of most of them.

It's so cute and lovely and I'm so lucky to have him as a friend.

Whenever I'm needing to purchase new footwear of any sort, I go through a period where I'm only slightly joking about how I kinda think cutting my toes off to make shit smaller might actually be a smart financial decision in spite of obvious drawbacks. I really need new socks too goddamnit.

Things that seem obvious now, but I only just put together: my nostalgia for Ace from Dr Who is remarkably similarly shaped to the same feeling as the one I have for Tabitha Smith from Marvel.
