Figured I should write a thanksgiving entry because it’s like it’s kind of mind boggling how much I have to be thankful for these days. It’s after 1AM but I figured I’d stay up late tonight and bust this out. I wasted some time today playing Brotato. Not sure what’s wrong with me. Can hear my roommate downstairs playing it. Got a couple more friends into it.It’s not good. Like crack.But I did work on customd.app earlier today and last weekend I spent most of the weekend working on it…

I’d like to say I’ve been busy and that’s why I haven’t written in a week but I’ve actually been struggling a little to stay productive.I blame Brotato.I need Brotato intervention.

But most of my friends and partners are queer or trans, at least here in Pittsburgh, so I fear for their safety.And you know, the other thing is that I think that my message and strategy on life will…

I’ve been getting rather sad lately, at least sad by my standards, about the election. I’m pretty confident that Trump is going to win, which effectively, to me, means that half the country kind of wants me dead. At least that’s what it feels like after my long list of experiences with Trump supporters. They want me to suffer and die for who I am.It’s just hard to accept. Yeah, i know that sounds super hyperbolic but it wouldn’t seem that way if you understood where I was coming from…
