I don’t like this word

At this diagnostic vocational evaluation, they use a lot of old paperwork and programs. Because of this, I have read the term “mental (r-slur)” quite a few times over the past week or so. It’s funny. There was a brief period of time where everyone was starting to get that we shouldn’t use that word, and now I’m seeing it everywhere again.

A lot of neurodivergent people claim we can use it in the same way black people are allowed to use the n-word, but I just don’t think they’re equivalent. No one calls anyone the r-word unless they’re insulting them. There’s no reclamation if you’re never using it in a casual, friendly conversation. It’s just a different type of slur, and I’m really annoyed that it’s being thrown around all the time again. It’s outdated. It’s childish. Grow up.

uh oh missed a day!

thumbs up doctor

Well, I forgot to post on February the 8th. Don't really have an excuse. I was considering making two posts today to make up for it, but I realized I don't actually have to do that if I don't want to. So I won't.

Update on Animal Crossing: I got Aurora on my island! Found her with a Nook Miles Ticket. Truffles left and good riddance. I don't like that I have three Normal villagers now with just how my brain works, but I want to kick Nana out soon anyways.

We got a call from the vet a few hours ago to tell us that Scout is fine after the surgery (visualization above) and we can pick her up in about an hour. I'm very glad, I know she'll still be in pain for a while but I hope after a bit she feels so much better.

Collecting clips is an evil process

me thinking about downloading videos

 I recorded a bunch of voice over for my video on Façade today. I’ve decided I’m not gonna film myself for this one and just talk over footage (though I have a visual gag idea I want to implement if it doesn’t end up being too hard) and this means I need to collect. So many clips. I talk about ARC Raiders for a bit, I need to download a video of ARC Raiders gameplay. I talk about E3 2006, I gotta look for show floor footage. I make a joke about that video of Jonathan Blow being so sad that Soulja Boy didn’t understand Braid, you know I gotta put that in there. What makes it worse is that the YouTube downloader I used to use is no longer functional. I switched to yt-dlp but I don’t know how to make it download the videos as mp4s instead of webms so I need to convert every video to an mp4 using Handbrake. It’s all so annoying. 

whoops I wasted my thoughts already

 

awesome art

I was talking to people about geAI earlier and got all my brain thoughts out there and now my brain is empty. Can’t even copy paste it or something cause it was in the gaming channel of the socpens Discord. I don’t freaking know maaaan. I'm sleepy. Basically we were talking about what constitutes art. I brought up the question of if machine schematics are art. I think they are. I think a lot of things are art in this world. 

I Hate Hockey for a Very Silly Reason

don't talk to me if you look like this

Picture this. You are on the website Archive of Our Own, and you have just finished the most gorgeous fanfiction you have ever read. The characterization is on point, the author has an incredible way with words, maybe there's some good smut, whatever works for you. The Perfect Fanfiction. Eager, you go to the author's profile on AO3. Maybe they've written more stories for this fandom. Maybe they've even written for other fandoms you like! You can't wait.

Good news: the author is prolific. They've written so much. Bad news: besides the one you've just read... it's all hockey. Every. Single. Fanfic. Is hockey RPF.

This has happened to me more than twice and it's why I hate hockey.

Don't get me wrong. Live your truth, write whatever you want. It's my fault for getting my hopes up. But damn it, it hits like a brick to the face. It's all hockey RPF, and it's usually about some dude named Jonathan. I don't know, I don't read it. Because I hate hockey now. I don't want to watch the gay hockey show for multiple reasons, but this is a big one. I don't want to see gay hockey players. I know about gay hockey players. I wish I didn't.

Note: this hatred does not include that Check Please! web comic. I never read it, but I have friends who did, and it seems fun. The hockey boy who makes pies is exempt. 

WHAT’S UP EVERYBODY! WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

 

It’s funny that the only other post on this blog was a rundown of LIW representation that I posted in 2018. Kind of want to do a follow up with the smaller amount that came out from like 2018-2020.

Anyways, I will try to do a blog in 2026. Next post will probably be talking about some Media I Like from last year. In case you couldn’t tell the SnapCube/RTVS Kingdom Hearts fandub was one of them. Very excited for HL2VRAI. Happy 2026 I guess. The world sucks but maybe I can do some good things this year.
