6/21/2023, A Sleepy Evening

Writer: Shane ZellowShane Zellow

Hey, gang, late night but uh, yeah, long day. So it goes, amirite? I tried that new anti-anxiety medication and I feel ... pretty myself? Maybe a little sleepy? But that could just be residual stress which hits me as easily as a hangover does since turning 30.

TWO THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR (SPECIFIC)

1. I am grateful for Markiplier's old FNaF videos. And yes I'm scraping the bottom of my barrel. I need my emotional comfort food. Man, I can't believe that was so many years ago now. I remember when FNaF was "Hey there's this cool indie game you should check out."

2. I am grateful for my final Numenera player finally naming their character. Now all that's left is some mechanical odds and ends. Not sure when we can start but I'm feeling confident about all the prep I've done. We'll see how it goes.

ONE THING THAT WENT WELL DURING THE DAY

During therapy yesterday we spent the hour circling around the next belief we want to tackle in EMDR. I have lots of thoughts and I have lots of trauma so it takes (an unfortunate amount of) time. I think because of the trauma my therapist wants to proceed cautiously.

ONE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL ACTION ITEM FOR THE DAY

Okay, so it's late and the day is almost over so there's not much time to do a critical action item even if I had one. I mean, I guess I could go pledge to the "Tales of the Valiant Kickstarter" before the campaign ends.

WHATEVER IS ON MY MIND

Feels like a relevant time to say Cis is not a slur. I can't believe this is a real (fabricated) controversy. It's amazing watching folks who've always self-identified as the #normal #default try to make themselves the victims in a situation where they want to eradicate trans people.

All best,
