I’m a virgin So, though I’m sexy, I’m not great at using that in my relationships, and displaying it has resulted in nasty things happening. And while I appreciate people weathering my insane period recently, it also shows why I keep to myself. I’m still thinking that way when sane, though the ratios of bs to scathing truth vary depending on how crazy I am. Bipolar is like being touched with madness, and the specific kind has to do with background and life factors. - Cos my gimmick has been posting while high, drunk, and insane, I had to build in an outlet; which is the persona. So for the drugs kaupapa, the craziness when sober (see my bro for more of that when he was nuts) proves it’s not drug-induced psychosis, and the drunken rants in the park show how boozing sounds when there’s no party. While the cool tidbits flow in regardless. It’s all part of my flow, and I think the scripts reflect a process that is healthy and effective, if slower than some writers. Some people write novels. I do this cos I like to write, but am impatient and dig the instant-ness of social media.

Yes, I was talking on my phone during 2022. It's irritating, but not illegal to be loud and obnoxious on the phone. This is non-violent direct action. That's what practical activism feels like: annoying, but people can see why I do it. 🔥
