Read my Substack, or don't. Here's an update.

Hi, y'all,

I haven't written a blog in a minute, but that's because I've been writing on Substack (that's right I made one) (https://substack.com/@s3nd). I'm trying it out cause it has a pretty UI but it looks/feels like the typical social media feed (e.g., Twitter) with the addition of writing blogs like here in SpaceHey. I know I mentioned a long time ago that I wish SpaceHey had that feature, so Substack is kind of what I wanted, but I'm realizing how impersonal it all feels. I don't really have friends over there yet, so my feed is just what's trending, and I really could not care less about what other people have to say. And, their little "tweets" and the feed of social media is too wholly reminiscent of shallow, millennial "gotchas" or like some weird seemingly profound statement that you'd usually find in Facebook or the Bluesky trending page.

I dunno. My Twitter is curated pretty well~ but there's also a lot of "unhinged" people there, and I like that; at least, the people who seem like they were the weird funny crazy loser kids.

Any who, I've been playing a lot more Maplestory again. My guild had to go through a molting of sorts and a lot of people left due to stagnancy. We've since reorganized and started rebuilding. It's okay. It's weird—it feels like when you revisit your old home and it looks similar but it's not the same, and you would have to rebuild something new if you wanted, but you can never go back to how it was.

I'm still hanging out with friends when we can. We're planning to watch the Fantastic Four and Superman films together. I've been watching a lot of TikToks about the ICE protests and the current global news (Iran v. Israel and whatnot). I had a really bad few days this month where I was really hungry and the normal amount of food that I ate couldn't satiate my hunger and I felt constantly hungry.
