"Why are you against Cryptocurrency/NFTs/Blockchain/Web3?"
i am tired of explaining this. if you asked a good-faith question about why i hate and reject all this stuff, here you go. if you asked a bad-faith question and have more to say, please see Section 4: Answers To All Your Bullshit. you are dreadfully predictable and i guarantee your objection has been covered.

i'm going to try to use this blog more instead of being long-winded on social media quite so much lmao. or maybe i'll just do both.

BAD SHIT THAT HAPPENED IN 2021
✖ end of my 14 year relationship (because i did no want to ruin my mental and physical health to have a baby that would likely live to see drastically worsening climate change)
✖ still working retail in a fucking pandemic lmaooooooo
✖ still had plantar fasciitis
✖ continuation of big fiasco where i had to fight my employer's stupid third-party administrator for disability accommodations
✖ a lot of Stupid happened in my online communities (NFTs, patreon fucking up, etc.)

GOOD STUFF THAT HAPPENED IN 2021
☺ terrible boss left my workplace, replaced with actually good boss
☺ made new friends and reconnected with some people
☺ got myself back into therapy and found a good therapist i click with
☺ physical therapy helped with plantar fasciitis... A LOT
