Week 16 – The Bat Wings Poncho
16 weeks into 2026, and I am yearning for a time when I didn't have to be aware of all the stupid shit going on in the world. Before 2025, I only had a vague idea of how tariffs worked. Now, I have a fairly good understanding of economics. I don't want to know about...

Week 15 – End of a Civilisation
Woo, friends! I am fucking tired... bone tired. Did anyone else go to sleep earlier this week wondering if Trump was going to nuke Iran? On Tuesday, I spoke to my therapist about trying a different type of therapy (or, really, adding it to my existing therapy). By...
Week 14 – The Slowest Apocalypse
We're heading closer to a full-on fuel crisis here in Oceana every day, and I'm starting to wonder: are we in the slowest apocalypse? I feel like reality and the world I thought I knew have been unravelling thread by thread for the last decade. Who would have thought...

Week 12 – What happened this week…

Week 11 – Incognito Art Show
Another week, and we're still stuck in this Orwellian hell. All the stress of the past week (including some personal drama) has triggered a Mast Cell flare. So, I've been trying to take things slow, and I've focused on finishing my entries for the Incognito Art...
Week 10 – Fortunes and War
I'm out of Facebook jail! I can finally comment on FB posts again. Meta is so ridiculous. They allow the most disgusting comments and posts, but tell a misogynist to 'fuck all the way off', and you're punished with having your account limited. Will I learn my lesson?...
Week 9 – Back in the Naughty Corner
I'm back in Meta's naughty corner. Apparently, you can be as racist, misogynistic, ableist, and awful as you like on Meta's platforms, but you cannot call out ethnic cleansing and genocide. That will get you put on the naughty stool! Zuck loves himself some...
