  • Guy was my best friend in middle school. We reconnected after I graduated from college, played and beat L4D and L4D2 together. Then he started sending me political memes, and they were all fascist.

    I tried to reason with him, but then he refused to engage with anything that was longer than like a page, or any video/audio source longer than about five minutes, but didn’t seem to have any problem sending me stuff way longer than that.

    I still wonder if there was more I could have done. But I just didn’t need that in my life. I’m not some hero, I’m a downwardly-mobile working-class schlub who’s pretty good at playing piano and riding a bike. I shouldn’t be responsible for dragging this dipshit back from the depths of fascism just because he sat next to me in seventh grade history class, and honestly, with some of the things he claimed to believe, I probably didn’t even want him on my side anymore.

    That’s what I tell myself, anyway.

    i’m gonna go see the orthopedist and hopefully get my splint off

    i hairline fractured my upper radius falling off my bike last week, but the break both 1. was too small for them to find without a detailed analysis by a specialist the following day and 2. has been hurting less than the associated road rash itching under the splint, as well as said splint pressing against my wrist bone when i try to type, so fingerse crossed that they don’t need to put me in a cast. i’m definitely open to taking some time away from gravel biking but i have a show coming up on july 24th and would really like to be able to play keys at it.

    that being said, because it’s a splint and not a cast, i’ve been having some fun telling people i got bitten by a radioactive mummy and am rapidly turning into marvel’s shittest superhero, so i wouldn’t mind milking that a bit more. but i’d generally be more stoked about just regaining the full use of my arm.
