Write about someone who inspires you. What qualities do they have that you admire?

This one is easy. I'm in awe when it comes to my brother, Daniel. He's a Religious artist and does so much for the poor. He's very artistic. He plays three instruments, he sculpts, he's a paper cutting artist, he paints, draws and finally, he can sing too. There is nothing he doesn't do. He writes religious books, and children's books on Saints. He's just begun to have macular degeneration. So, he's losing his sight. He's not a complainer. He just had to switch up what he works on. Things have to be bigger now. He is the most caring person you would ever meet. He volunteers for three different places every week. I'm very proud of him. We all adore him. He's also the uncle to all the nieces and nephews that also adore him. I think every family has someone special in their life. He's all ours. We're grateful.

No, can’t say as I have. I don’t know what they’re for. I’m too old evidently. 😁😁

Name: sewagelag00n. Sewa for short.

Age: 20

I mostly post about: My daily life, some stuff about my hexperiences regarding "mental health"/Madness. Occasionally I'll talk about media I've been into.

My hobbies are: Selfshipping! DIY alternative fashion, customizing clothes & making jewelry. Ballet. Writing & art. Doll collecting. Soft toys.

My fandoms are: Some Sword/Some Play (18+)! A very obscure little game that I love so much I've basically adopted one of the characters as my OC. Please I am so abnormal about these lesbians. Longtime Vocaloid fan, I think I'm coming up on 9 years now. I love Hatsune Miku (she's literally me) and recently Teto SynthV has captured my heart. Recently got back into FNaF (my favorite is Mangle!). Very normal about Neon Genesis Evangelion. Huge music nerd: love digital hardcore like Ada Rook, but also into stuff under the goth umbrella, industrial, shoegaze, new wave... I like a little bit of everything. I also love Emilie Autumn, Machine Girl, Nashimoto Ui, Chelsea Wolfe, and femtanyl.

I'm looking to meet people who: Honestly, just looking for more interaction. People who post regularly and will comment on my posts.

My posting schedule tends to be: Every couple of days, but sometimes I take a week off.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Those who follow Abrahamic religions. I am a staunch antitheist. I do have religious friends, I don’t blanket hate all religious people, but it is a turnoff. I am more receptive to other religious/spiritual people. Transmisogynists, racists, sanists, homophobes, other bigots.

Before adding me, you should know: My blog is very much 18+ and viewer discretion advised because I am into a lot of dark and sexual things. I am Mad and hexperience things like plurality (one of my alters sometimes posts on this account too) and self-harm and intense mood swings. I am very critical of the psychiatric system. I am polyamorous and have 3 real-life partners and a whole host of fictional ones.

Almost forget to type this up. If I wait too long I forget details. I always forget how much my dreams are, like this came from my brain? While I was sleeping?? I've been using a pen with a light on it to write my dreams in the dark but the ink doesn't always run so I've been frustrated. I'll either have to find another source of light or buy another pen light online. I might get one with a red light, because reviews said that hurt their eyes less.

6th:

Fragment: I was standing somewhere deleting 'dream markers'. I get the feeling this was inspired by Arknights: Endfield somehow lol the never-ending placing and removing things in that game~

7th:

Fragment: I remembered that we had played a card game a long time ago and I was owed money from betting, but when I counted my money I realized it wasn't all there and went to my dad for it.

GORE ->
Fragment: I was looking at my tongue in a mirror and a chunk of it was loose and bloody. I tried to pull it off but it was hanging by a thread. I begged for it to be removed but was rejected(?). Well that's a new stress dream type.
<-

8th:

Fragment: A tub full of stuff was falling off the top of a shelf (maybe the one in my room) as I watched from below.

Fragment: Mom gave me a one day warning that we were moving out so I had to rush to pack and for some reason mom and dad were helping me. I remember grabbing the easiest things and taking them out on the porch (it looked like the one from an old house we lived in). One thing was a 6 pack of Pepsi bottles.

Back in my room, the parents were deleting 'the most used radio stations' from a stereo 'because they would get deleted in the move anyway', and I thought 'then why bother deleting them?'. One of the stations had voice clips of my voice saying random words/noises. The most used station was 'anime music'.

Fragment: I was on YouTube going through a singer's catalogue, I remember the oldest album had a blue cover with a pattern over it and the title.

Discord is planning a radical violation of privacy for all users. It will require facial recognition or ID in order to escape designation as teen with account restrictions. This is ineffective and risky. Many people are upset by the violation of privacy because so many platforms have been hacked to extract that valuable information.

Some Discord users are already abandoning the platform and moving to Dreamwidth or others. Please pass the word around Dreamwidth to your friends on Discord to see if this platform appeals to them. This post has many resources for newcomers about how to use Dreamwidth..

I decided to buy the professor price tickets to the Bourbon City Steampunk in Louisville KY in May. It's the same weekend as graduation. I also put in to do 2 lectures (one I have done since it was my sabbatical and one I shall have to pull forth from my ass) Wish me luck

Today I did find a phone number for recollection clothing and I shall be calling about my dress I've never seen (probably friday as it's the next time I have time) I didn't call United Health Care today because my phone was being a dick.

I did call this collection company knowing it almost couldn't possibly be for me. I haven't been in that kind of mess in years but Penny Williams (the other pain in my ass) who had my telephone number in the early 00s STILL gives it out to avoid collection agencies. This time it was for some man I never heard of.

Today was 20 degrees colder than anticipated.

it's music monday 30 weeks of music. This week's prompt is 13 has a really good music video. Share your faves too.

( It's going to be the 1980s all the way and you know I can't pick just one )

Because having wondered what the Tangent Online 2025 recommended reading list looked like--or more accurately, how many non-recommended reading list words would precede it, nothing compelled me to go look.

(The preamble is about 6000 words)

1. Got my teeth cleaned today and since Carla was awake before my appointment (which was at 8:30am), she was able to drop me off so I could just walk home. The dentist is a good walking distance away, but with my appointment being on the early side, I wouldn't have had time to cool off once I arrived, and I didn't want to risk being hot and/or sweaty and having to get right in the chair. But I did get a nice walk on the way home, though, and it was fully overcast, which is definitely my preference for walks.

2. Since the dentist appointment was a good excuse and I didn't really have a pressing reason to go into the office, I just worked from home today. I think I'll have to go in every day the rest of the week, so it was nice to stay home today.

3. I love these sunny window shots!

Good news?

Super texts me around 11 am: you're shower is working now. (Sends video demonstrating both cold and hot water are coming out of it.)
ME: Yippee! Yay! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I got to take a shower when I got home. Kaloo Kalay...I did a little happy dance at my desk when I discovered it.

It's the little things. Like the ability to take a hot shower and wash my hair. And relax tense muscles. Slept horribly last night worrying over it.
I kept wondering if I should try to put a pillow over the window in the bathroom - to make the room warmer.

Bad news? The apartment is a touch warmer than I'd like? I was enjoying wearing sweat shirts and fuzzy socks. Also warm pjs, and curling under the covers. Although not scrambling to get dressed in the morning, while it was cold or covering up every crack in the windows with cloth. It was beginning to look like a derelict's bedroom. Now, the window fan is back in the window, the air purifier is on, and I've installed the humidifier in the bedroom instead of the living room.

But other than that...

Also it's gotten warmer? Instead of -4 degrees, we have 24 degrees. It's rather balmy. Once it hits 38 degrees F, folks will be wearing shorts.

And per Breaking Bad, it snowed in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Me: Did it? (a bit more gleeful than I should be)
BB: It might have been in the mountains, I'm not certain.

Consumers spend much more when making digital payments instead of using cash

The use of digital payments has led people to spend more than they do when using cash, according to survey evidence from more than 1,200 consumers.

The shift reframes everyday purchases as moments where restraint weakens quietly, long before shoppers notice any change in their budgets.

This is why one of the most effective ways to save money is to buy things with cash, and thus, one of the many reasons for protecting the use of cash.

This poem is spillover from the February 3, 2026 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by prompts from

kengr,

librarygeek, and (Anonymous) IP Address: (46.110.23.207). It also fills the "Take a Class" square in my 2-1-26 card for the Valentines Bingo fest. This poem has been sponsored by

I gambled that my authors would read their email and respond within a few days and held off on the On the Shelf podcast until I could include the announcement. Offers went out on the 6th, the podcast would normally have gone up on the 7th. As of this morning I still had one acceptance yet to come in, but I'd scripted the show and decided to go ahead and record. Then the final acceptance came in just as I was setting up the mic. (I wouldn't have uploaded the episode until everything was final, but it was unlikely I'd have to change the script.)

Once again, I'm pledging myself to get ahead of the game. I'll send out payments tomorrow and any suggested edits by the end of the week, along with requests for bios and pronunciation guides. I'll be doing all the narration myself this year. So I have half a chance of actually getting everything recorded well in advance. (But only half a chance, because inevitably I get distracted by something else, thinking, "Well, I have plenty of time.")

I bought five stories again this time, due to some short lengths, though I'm not sure whether I'll do a double-episode or use one as a special bonus fiction episode at some point. The podcast is having its 10th anniversary this year, which might make a natural context for that.

A bond between a dad and a kitten he never wanted is the strongest bond in the world.

If you think the cat distribution system is kind to certain hoomans, you would be absolutely… correct. Some people wait years until they are blessed by a cat from the distribution system, while others find themselves in a possesion of a kitty every other week.

However, it seems there is a certain selection of people who are always on the cat distribution system radar, and those people are Dads. We all know at least one duo of a dad and a cat, and the origins of their love stories all sound similar: someone in the family finds a kitten, brings the sweet baby in need home, Dad says no, the cat stays anyway, Dad is grumpy about it for a few days while the kitten is determined to win Dad's heart, until the kitten eventually succeeds.

All these households then have what we call the "Classic Dad-Cat Duo", an inseparable bond between a dad and a cat he swore he would never love. This duo does everything together: They hang out, share hobbies and interests, eat, and of course, nap. The love between the two is something cosmic, one that even the most magical fairytales can't compete with.

Is that the case in the story below? We will let you be the judges of that…

This weird creature was a sticker from Abi Stevens Art. I picked it this week for the vibes. I still feel kind of weird and off, like a bizarre and monstrous serpent bird, so that seemed appropriate.

This week was the final stretch of recovery and my return to work. While I still feel like it wasn't quite enough time, I have been feeling far better than I did the previous week. I did have a few reasonably productive days at home, where I started to get caught up on some of what I'd missed. The week itself was difficult, though. The news on Wednesday about my friend Mark passing was... heartbreaking. I still just don't feel like he can be gone.

Goals for the week:

I did finally catch up on DW
I wrote up my January book reviews
I finished reading We're Here
I took more walks
I returned to work
I did not work on my reading page
I did my getyourwordsout check in: 12542 words
I did my tracker grids for the next month
We paid rent
I started reading Hell Bent

Tracked habits:

Work - 1.5/7 - I returned for a half day on Friday, resuming my regular schedule on Saturday
Household Maintenance - 5/7
Physical Activity - 7/7
Wrote 500/1000+ Words - 0/7
Non-fiction Writing - 6/7 - three days of over 500 words, three days of over 1000
Meta Work - 4/7
Personal Writing - 6/7
Other Creative Things - 0/7
Reading - 6/7 - I finished reading We're Here and started Hell Bent, plus read a small bit of my ebook side-read; Alex and I finished The Sun Dog and started The Luminous Dead
Attention to Media - 7/7 - Sunday had various background stuff, watched some reviews later; Monday had youtube in the background, then later watched agility qualifiers for the Westminster dog show; Tuesday Alex and I went to see Iron Lung (enjoyed it!) and later watched more dog show stuff; Wednesday watched more dog show stuff and some video game videos; Thursday was more game videos and later some of the Olympic snowboard qualifiers; Friday watched a paranormal video, a review, and some game videos; Saturday had news in the background.
Video Games - 0/7
Social Interaction - 5/7

Total words written: 8105, all non-fiction; some about the stresses of paperwork, some about my friend's passing, some on book reviews

Current Mood: sleepy
Current Location: my apartment
