  • I was right on the edge of being able to pay rent on time, for the first time in six months.

    Then a family member arrived in town and has been staying with me. His other option is staying on the street or in a shelter, both options of which make his health issues worse. This has disrupted my sleep and psychological rest, resulting in me being able to work less.

    Also, I got rear ended while stopped at a red light last week, giving me a concussion. This has also reduced the amount I can work.

    I’m extremely worried about my financial status. I cannot cover the expenses I have, let alone any unexpected new expenses.

    I’m squarely on the road to being homeless, unless a miracle happens.

    It’s mycelium. Mycelium on my ceiling. Mice-eating mycelium on my ceiling, to be exact. It’s horror beyond comprehension that’s also hard to say. It’s hard to say what it is exactly because exactly what it is is mice-eating mycelium on my ceiling.




  • Vaginal sex kinda feels like slipping into silk pajamas.

    Orgasm feels like sneezing to celebrate scoring a touchdown. Your body takes over in a way that sort of blasts pleasure through your body. It’s sneeze like, but also really pleasant, like a cool breeze on a hot day, but amplified in the way the pleasure of a hot bath knocks your senses into a new level. It superumamic.



  • Belief is when a claim comes from a source I trust. In some cases, it’s a source I’m choosing to trust.

    Like, my nephew is staying with me. He’s had meth issues in the past. His alternative is a shelter. He claims that he has a seizure disorder, and that puts me in a difficult spot because he says it gets worse on the street and also in shelters.

    That’s pretty believable, but there’s a part of me that’s aware it could be a manipulation, this whole claim. I haven’t asked for evidence, despite the feeling of doubt.

    This is a belief of mine. I am choosing to believe his claim.

    If he were to show me authenticatable hospital paperwork documenting the seizure disorder, then it would be knowledge. Then I would know.

    This is an example of the difference between the two in my own life right now. It’s a belief because to a certain degree I’m taking his word for it.

    Incidentally this is the same way I think the word works in religion. People believe in God because they choose to. I feel like I know God exists, because I’ve encountered it during mushroom trips. But others, who haven’t had those direct contact experiences, believe.
