A screenshot of a series of Fediverse posts explaining why I'm dead.  There was a fun little game that a bunch of people played called the "fedi games" which was a play on words relating to "The Hunger Games", a book series in which a group of people compete to the death.  In the Fedi Games, I'm assuming there was some kind of techno-witchery at play which analyzed all the contestants and the nature of their comments and posts and such. It then generated "events" which occurred each day as the contestants slowly fought one another leaving a single victor.  There were 16 players I think, and I got 5th place (meaning I was the fifth-to-last person to die)  Anyway, day 1 I was forced to kill someone else and it was super sad.  Day 2 I created a communal nation state  Day 3 I tried again with different people  Night 3 I tripped into a hole and died. Ah, oh well, that's just what happens to your spiritual leaders. You need to learn to be able to survive without them, to take their works and crystallize it into something that can be utilized for revolutionary potential, instead of the sharp bits of insight that are hidden within the morass of nebulous abstractions meant to distract and avoid the attention of those who would do harm.  ... uh, anyway, back to being dead. I'm not sulking I'm still working, I'll be back someday. Probably. Maybe. Unless I don't, so don't wait up.

 I had a job lined up, but with great personal change came great societal
 change. And I got swept up. Now here I am, somehow finding myself blown on the
 winds of fate to stand atop a mountain and survey the lands below.
 
 I see the path to our bright future, and it is wide enough for us all to walk.

 I've been sick the past couple of days. But today I pushed forward and did
 some good things for myself. I feel great spiritually now, when before I was
 struggling. The future is bright!
 
 On the magical side, i saw several meaningful numbers (like 1234 on the clock
 or 4:20 in a game) so now I'm going to embrace the good feelings and eat
 pizza, play flight simulators, and smoke a bunch of weed. Life feels pretty
 great right now. I hope that soon I find the courage and spirit to throw
 myself towards a large project or task, but for now I want nothing but
 serenity and joy in these moments divine. <3 ^_^ <3

  I don't think they have any intention of ceding power in four years, I think project 2025 is all about dismantling checks and balances on their power and I think Trump said at one of his rallies once "you won't have to vote again"  
                                                                              
  I think for these people to lose power they will have to be forced.

 I hereby do swear that I will NEVER make a deal with a devil to "fix" my own
 disabilities in exchange for... anything, really. Devils only make contracts
 they can benefit from, true, but they are devils because they also only make
 contracts that HURT you MORE than they help you.

 I am so, so, SO glad that none of my planning seems to be necessary. At least
 for now - they still have time to make moves. We'll see if they flip the
 board. It feels like "checkmate in ~6 turn-months"

I'm proud of myself for getting through the dark times.  I'm proud of my culture for accepting me.  I'm proud of medical science for learning how to facilitate me.  I'm proud of my fellow queers who can support me and keep me safe.  I'm proud of how I designed my self to align to what I felt was true.  I'm proud of all the work I've done, and how far I've come.  I'm proud of all the people who meet me and think "Hey, maybe trans people aren't so bad after all."  I'm proud of my cat, for being so sharp.  I'm proud of myself, for braving the pain of HRT injections.  I'm proud of my friend, for teaching me how.  But most of all I'm proud of kindness, for persisting throughout all of these years.

 if I was a far right militia, a pride parade would be a tempting target.
 
 hence why they must be defended with riflemen placed just out of sight,
 clustered away, ready to spring into the fight.
 
 spread out, hit from the flanks, keep them pinned down, and occupy space.

 psychic horrors don't pick the best, they pick the most.
 
 (not the most individual aspects/targets, but rather the one that has the most)
 
 in this way, they prioritize intelligence, which is why humanity has survived
 in this dark forest.
 
 for the ones with the most are often too multiplicitous (deriving their
 relative localized advantage to those around them in order to elevate
 themselves to the title of "the mostest") while those who have fewer, but
 still success, tend to be the most adaptable or advantageous.
 
 hence, why humanity has thrived, with scarcely 7 billion souls to the entire
 hive. With so few individuals, surely their strength must be astronomical!
 
 just another reason why humanity should try it's hardest.
 
 the fact that we're not all aligned toward the bold and bright future
 (whatever shape it may take) shows that we're being abused in order to grow
 faster than we're able.
 
 it's not fair, it's not right, and it's not tenable.
