that said, without some viable means of mass communication, none of it would have been possible, so thank you to all those who build things which support free and open forms of public communication 🫶🏼

I literally don't know of a single person in my generation who has gotten more results than me at such a massive scale so I think it's safe to say that good, persistent, and diplomatic communication is potentially the #1 factor in success.

chat nobody tells you this pre-40 but entropy really changes your dating preferences.

tldr; if a bitch thinks she knows you, but she doesn't know you, then set her the fuck straight so that she does know you, and beyond that, now knows that she does not know you at all.

there is only one way to freedom and that is complete and total ownership of our digital identities and all inferences made from them, so that no data derived from the surveillance state can be used negligently and erroneously against us in the court of law, and in the United States, by the protective shield of the 4th amendment. this paradigm shift is upon us, though it is not to say that data will never be collected – it will – but insofar as its use is consented as proprietary solely to the normal business functions of the corporation or entity initiating such collection, it is our duty to set stringent limits upon those institutions and agencies, disallowing unsound and aggressive infringements on our personal privacy, wherein no inference can be made from the data itself without overt criminality and evidence from which legitimate state concern is warranted. we must have balance in all things. as such, incorrect or deleterious infringement in the form of malfeasant misappraisal, or a condemnation of legally protected free speech, without the injunctions of hostile encroachment, shall be set forth in matters of law as favorable to the civilian over the corporation, for there is more to the individual than metadata, and in those rare cases wherein some connection is to be made, no legal assessments should be made without due process. we must all fight against the boundlessness of the surveillance apparatus without regard for the political leanings of its operators and arbitrators, for we are endowed with the power of our Creator to restrain all which seeks our capitulation to those lesser powers of governance, as our Constitution was written, enshrining our right to protest the indignities of rogue tyrants, should they ever present themselves as forces greater than or equal to the powers inferred by those liberties granted by God. in other words, if I have done no wrong, and an entity seeks my reprisal, against lawful conduct and due process, then it is my right within the courts of law, secret or public, to seek restitution and full recompense for those aggressions, and these are also your rights. let no man or woman, no institution, corporation, or government, steal from you that which was yours by virtue of your birth, that our God-given freedoms be held with the utmost esteem by all who enforce protectorate laws in accordance with the just laws of the land and of God, which are clear as day and antecedent in moral authority over those analytic nebulosities imposed in the wake of our digital reflections, whose images are only marginally indicative of our truest selves, only known by those whom we have entrusted with the intimate appraisal our character.

chat sometimes the people you thought were your worst enemies do nice things for you behind the scenes and I think it's worth remembering that even when you're angry.

truly, I am grateful for all of my spies, as my most noteworthy rehearsals and bedroom performances would have otherwise been forgotten and wasted on the ears of nobody except those in the immediate vicinity, who begrudgingly believe me to be merely a karaoke singer, and not a musical genius. THOUGH THEY MAY BE SPY GUYS THEY ARE GOOD SPY GUYS, or so I am told.

chat did I ever tell you about this one time over six years ago that the Bluetooth function on my iPhone was used as a hackers' point-of-entry to effectively perform a hostile takeover of my device? yes, your laptop can also be keylogged and/or hacked via the Bluetooth function by a hacker within range who remotely connects a keyboard to your laptop, though I hope by now they have figured out how to do this without the laptop alerting the user. in fact, ANY device or accessory which has Bluetooth, and especially a microphone, can be hacked, as the Federal Bureau of Investigation already knows, for better or for worse, though I hope all of your hackers LOVE YOU as much as mine love me.

chat "sharing is caring" applies to most things, depending on your views, though it's not a requirement, just a social platitude concerning one's own sense of generosity, but it does not apply to ME.

chat wtf is the genre of music that sounds like it came out of the Mos Eisley Cantina in Star Wars? I effing hate it.

I don't smoke weed anymore but honestly nothing is so good as waking up and smoking a little bit of a blunt and drinking some coffee and having a light breakfast of eggs and bacon.

I LOVE WATER.

but you know what one beverage I will absolutely make an exception for? pure, freshly pressed sugar cane juice. MAGICAL.

I don't really like sugar! it makes me sick unless I'm stressed out, then I like chocolate. NO CANDY. wtf is that even about. I've had less than probably 100 soda beverages since I was 16, if that. I honestly can't even remember the last time I had a full can of Coke. I avoid sugar like the plague! sue me.

you know what my diet is? eggs, meats, veggies, sometimes rice, olives, cheese, and charcuterie, an occasional muffin or donut or maybe three bites of cheesecake once a month, and two or three beverages – water, coffee, matcha, milk, kombucha or some other type of tea – available at every meal, because I am a LIQUIDS PERSON. carbohydrates are OVERRATED, however, I will eat potatoes no problem.

you have to be really careful about the health and fitness advice you get off of social media because honestly you could be looking at after and before photos rather than before and after photos and you might not even know it.

chat how do you explain finicky eating habits to a man who thinks you might have a minor eating disorder because you have only started eating a healthy amount of carbohydrates in the past six months in an effort to get a little bit fatter so as not to appear waifish and childlike?
