With the demise of Joann's, I'm going to share a few online resources I've found. It's by no means exhaustive, but hopefully it helps folks find what they need. 🧵

I've noticed a marked difference in my personality when I've gone out more often and talked to more people, and when I'm shut in my apartment for weeks on end. It feels almost too easy to talk to people when I'm practiced in it. When I'm shut in, it feels like a struggle just to say "hello".

Finally starting to warm up again. Really hoping to get out of the apartment more. Right now, I'm downright reclusive and I don't go anywhere I don't absolutely have to. Except that's such a problem for my physical and mental health.

You wanna hear something really stupid that I hate about myself? There is this one day that I sit down to work on something. I get super excited, almost manic with ideas. Not a single drop of that energy gets retained and I lose all of it by the next day. I really need to figure this out.

Amazing article. "More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media ... actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of ..fear and anger... instead of organizing against [our oppressors]."

RPG Maker 2000 was the program that actually got me seriously thinking about game development and computer science when I was a kid. VX Ace is infinitely more robust than 2000 was. If you want to look at what goes into game development as a hobbyist or a potential professional path, get it now!

I just finished watching Kaiju No. 8. Honestly, after watching Jujutsu Kaisen, this was such a breath of fresh air. Great characters, plot that wasn't convoluted, every character treated the same regardless of gender, fight scenes that didn't drag on and served to drive character development...

So I've been trying to catch up on some anime of interest. Jujutsu Kaisen was on the list. To my credit, I watched all but the last two episodes of the second season without scanning. But by the end, I just got so bored. A bunch of fights with laughably absurd power levels broken up by word salads.

I think I've found a lead investigating why I am the way I am in terms of energy and motivation. Yeaterday, I was obscenely productive! Wrote some stuff for a book I've wanted to write and also went out to run errands. Today, I reverted. But it's all about my initial mental energy level.

Me just casually waiting for the fanartists to get to a certain point in certain IPs that I obsess over. Metaphor's been out for months, and everyone's still gushing over Strohl when Basilio is right fucking there. But... I'll be patient.

Now that it is tax season I remind everyone: DO NOT USE TURBOTAX. THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE IRS FREE FILE SYSTEM AND ARE NOT BOUND TO THOSE RULES. Instead, if you make $84k or less a year, use any of the IRS Free File options found here: www.irs.gov/filing/irs-f...

Right, you fucks, if you live in the UK sign this. If you don’t live in the UK share it as some of your followers might and they should sign this.

Feeling a little better. Still not great, but it's not so bad today. Did all my big adulting for the month. Now I just have to hope that things find a way to improve further. Metaphor: ReFantazio has become such a comfort game, which, after my issues with Persona, is not something I expected.

In some of the worst depression I've felt in a minute. I'm not in danger to my life. That said, it does really feel like, whenever I make that assurance, everyone is like "Okay, he can deal with it. Moving on." And that just fuels the loneliness that, in turn, makes the depression worse. Ugh.

I've finally picked up Metaphor: ReFantazio. I am completely normal about this man, I swear. (Please do not spoil anything in the comments. I already spoiled myself enough just finding an image of the guy.)
