2024 in review

     This was a bad year for mental health.  My insurance stopped carrying an important medication and that wrecked my mood for the whole year.  I overworked trying to make sure I wouldn't have to deal with my triggers, and despite the $300 I gave to Kamala's campaign, it wasn't enough and nobody else cared and a huge source of my triggers is back.

   

    I deleted my Twitter account because there are rumors MuX is going to merge it with Truth Social and I went to BlueSky.  That's a better place because nobody insults me or yells homophobia at me or opposes my goals of disassociating Christianity with the Republican Party and making a world where being LGBTQ+ is normal and without fear.  I mostly promote this with music and video game screenshots.

 

    I had great baseball experiences with the Mariners and went to Anime Washington, where I met Tara Platt, Brittney Karbowski, Barbara Dunkelman, Arryn Zech, Dawn M. Bennett and Kate Higgins.  The Mariners beat the Braves, Royals and Phillies, all teams that went to the playoffs, and it is hopeful they will return to it soon.  I talked with the voice actors about Edelgard, Mitsuru, Kali Belladonna, Ikuko Tsukino, Wendy Marvell, Camie, Citrinne, Yang, Blake, Shez, Nabbit, Shin Ultraman and Purah.

I also got to see local Tom Petty/Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac tribute "Petty or Not" at the Mt. Baker Theatre, an Ozzy Osbourne/Classic Rock tribute band called "Blizzard" at the Shakedown and Judas Priest with Sabaton opening for them in Everett.

 

I played a lot of Smash Bros. and quite a bit of Fire Emblem Warriors; Three Hopes, Unicorn Overlord, Super Mario RPG, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, The Legend of Zelda; A Link to the Past and some other games.  Recruiting Byleth in Three Hopes was very good for me, I could keep her close to Edelgard and get the House Leaders to ally with Shez to destroy the true threat.

 

I saw Godzilla X Kong; The New Empire, Inside Out 2 and Wicked Part 1 in theaters and all were amazing and wonderful.

 

I have every intention of continuing to post same-gender relationship screenshots and art on social media and will sign petitions against the incoming attacks.  I also plan to see the Mariners play the Orioles, Guardians and Dodgers next year, as well as the Kraken against the Sharks and will likely buy concert tickets soon.  Right now, though, I feel a little overwhelmed and exhausted from giving 110% this year and really want to cool down in the new year.

Taking a post and describing it further

     This entry is going to be me describing this recent social media post:

I'm concerned, everything feels like it's changing and the world I was raised in is dead and I don't know if I can adapt to just doing personal projects and not relying on the entertainment industry quick enough.

 

    Here is what I understand is going on:

-Those saying, "we'll reclaim the White House in 2028," forget it.  The Supreme Court gave this guy the ability to do anything.  I'm willing to bet within the first week or month he Executive Orders this term to last his whole life, then pass down to Vance, MuX and Kirk Cameron, in that order.  The United States is a dictatorship now and there will never be another Presidential Election.

-Voice acting will no longer be a profession soon.  As dictator-for-life, he will look at his kingdom and "fix" the problems.  He will look at the strike and rule in favor of the billionaire CEOs so they don't have to spend any money.  As such, film, TV and video games will be no longer viewable because it will only remind me of the millions now unemployed.

-If that wasn't enough of a nail in that coffin, Nintendo is going to move on from the Switch.  I don't have the money to buy a $400 console and start afresh, and I personally said the Switch will be my last console/video game system and now, either Date Everything, Power Rangers; Rita's Rewind or Metroid Prime 4 will be my last game for it.

-Due to society's shift towards fascism and AI, soon all art forms will be produced by computers to create non-stop pro-fascist-theocracy propaganda, making all forms of art unusable to a person like me.  Even music will see singers and band's names rewritten to produce propaganda as all imported media will be banned and Japan will be destroyed due to the Right believing the only "art" it ever created is "Legend of the Overfiend" and "Wicked City."  Before then, it, too, will only use AI for entertainment.

The world of the 90s kid met its end with this last election.  The LGBTQ+ community is at Def-con 2; genocide and government-sponsored corrective rape could happen any day and will the day the fat monster realizes it's a promise to his Pastors he needs to keep.  Those Pastors will say the left had a "Do what thou wilt, and that shall be the full extent of the law" attitude and that we were Nazis, when the fat man carried both of those concepts and exercised them.  With the Court giving him no restraint, he will likely drop an H-Bomb on Seattle, San Francisco or Los Angeles just to keep us in line and destroy hope, then tear us apart like a lion on the hunt.  The entertainment industry will follow his example, and all rebellion of love and kindness will be squashed and it shall be 42 years until God comes and sets us free.  Accept it, for I am a prophet, I foresaw his wins.

Another depression dump

     Don't get me wrong, I firmly believe what my brother said last time we were in a situation like this; "It'll hurt a while, but we'll survive and pull through."  That said, it is very hard to avoid the news and doom and gloom these days.

 

    I heard Washington State may go bankrupt because the fat man will cut off our Federal Funding.  It's illegal, but he'll do it anyway because he believes himself exempt from the law.  I am terrified every time someone brings up Social Security or Medicaid, because it means I won't be able to keep my apartment or pay for my medication and Doctor's appointments.  I also think we have seen our last Presidential Election because Trump is just going to fill the airwaves with "Democrats are satanic communists and terrorists" propaganda so people will not even think of voting for them and we will have a one-party system.  And there are still people who see him as the second coming and throw all their faith and worship upon him while claiming to believe in Jesus.

Update 10 days later

     I haven't been writing much these last two months because I'm outraged and in a panic and it's hard to organize my thoughts.  If Social Security is removed, I have no income.  If Medicare is removed, I can't see the Doctor or afford my medications.  And most everything else would impact somebody I know or know of.  I keep thinking "Day 1" or "Week 1" is going to look like this.

9:00 am PST-Inauguration, kill Biden and Harris with Mob

9:30 am-Abolish Constitution

9:45 am-Disband Congress

10:00-Put chosen people into posts, including Gaetz, Patel and Hesring (or whatever their names are, the ones the Senators and populace don't like for the more obvious reasons) 

11:00-Declare death penalty to anyone who identifies as LGBTQ+ or Democrat or has ever posted pictures of two men holding hands, kissing or hugging on the internet or two women doing the same.

11:30-Fire all Democrat Governors and replace them with the Republican Governor-wannabes who lost their most recent election in exchange to hand over their populace.

12:00-Lunch as Trump is disaffected by the sounds of millions tossed into meat grinders by the Police, FBI and Military.  He performs "corrective rape" on big-name lesbians, bisexuals and pansexuals to prove "there's no such thing."

 

 That's what I've been dealing with this whole two months, namely that something like this can happen anytime for the rest of my life.  I can't deal with that anymore without going crazy, so I guess I'm just going to live my life and hope they don't kill me, which they probably will unless the West Coast secedes to form Cascadia.

 

To move on from that, I have tickets to the Seattle Kraken vs. the San Jose Sharks on January 30th, the Seattle Mariners vs. the Baltimore Orioles on June 4th, the Seattle Mariners vs. the Cleveland Guardians on June 14th (where the Mariners may be dressed as the Seattle Steelheads) and the Seattle Mariners vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers on September 26th.
