Admittedly I have ceased to pay that much attention to The Daily Show since Jon Stewart left; Trevor Noah is a great and hilarious host but . . . where's Jon's bite? Here he is in one of Trevor's finer moments.
A few minutes ago, I posted chapter 30 of Solstice. This is an achievement in and of itself for me, because I don't think I've ever written anything with that many chapters before. But it also marks three weeks of actual, daily updates to Solstice—something I promised myself I would do as a New Year's Resolution and never actually expected to succeed in.

I was recently diagnosised with Autism. Which is a thing I have suspected for a while now but you know nice to have official diagnosis and what not. I also have had a cold, well bronchitis which is basically cold plus, and so I have been in a funk but thankfully it hasn't been much of an emotional thing. That is till today. I feel so off. Like there is something wrong and that I fucked up somehow. I don't really know how I did that but I can't seem to get in any writing because of it. Which is
Random Fact: It is late, my mind is on low-power mode, I’ve been using my PC as a home theater since 10 pm, and having a Sound Blaster installed is probably the best thing since PC bleeper speakers.
Thoughts & Opinions~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pinch me; I'm dreaming.
EqD banned Carl Cornejo in light of evidence I had compiled that suggested his account was being run by a bot.
Since then Carl Cornejo has appealed the ban.
I am utterly gobsmacked. We're living in a fairy tale – the best-case scenario.
My Totally Serious Entry Into The Cute War:
Well, here is my totally serious entry into The Cute War. Yep, it is meant to be the most serious entry you have seen today. Nothing fishy is going on here. Nope. Nuh uh. Nada.
So I humbly enter my cute face.
Yesterday I submitted my entry to FanOfMostEverything’s awesome Imposing Sovereigns contest. If you haven’t done so yet, take a look at Crystal Glass Ceilings, the tale of Princess Cadance the Usurper - a princess who grabbed power in a man’s world. That was the prompt. While FOME was clear that it wasn’t expected to adhere to the
As many people know, my mom and I have been going through a very hard time lately.

Yesterday there was someone who made a very kind donation to my fundraiser.
He has previously made three other contributions and he made another one which I just received in the mail.
A month or so ago my mom was diagnosed with Vikings Disease which causes bones and joints to curl up to the point where they can't be used anymore. There is no known cure for it. My mom got it from an injury at her job where she shattered her shoulder bones and all of the bones in her wrist. This caused her body to sustain a lot of trauma that triggered the recessive genetic disorder.
In a press conference yesterday, Trump said they are going to repeal and replace Obamacare the same day with a new bill that was drawn up. The new plan allows for people to earn interest on their insurance policies that they can take out to pay for medical expenses. It basically pays for itself in the longrun. And it keeps all of the best aspects of Obamacare but with little cost because it encourages competition across State lines. There's a bunch of information about the new plan online/ on
When you think about it, at any given moment, of any given day, a meteor could crash into the earth, we could blow ourselves up with nuclear weapons, we could have our entire civilization destroyed by super volcanoes, or earthquakes, or water covering the earth, or any number of natural or man-made disasters that could eradicate our species.
I have constellations as birthmarks kind of all over my body, including the Big Dipper, The Small Dipper, and so on.
This got me thinking of that quote that says people are built from stardust and everything that makes up a human being can be found in space.
I guess my birthmarks are a pretty literal example of that (in some form or another). :P
On a side note, I also have one eye that is a slightly different shade of blue than the other.
Okay, so there might be one or two other Bronies who live here and are already my friends.
But other than the three people I know, there are literally no Bronies here.
We don't even have a brony convention.
I think the universities might have some brony clubs but they aren't as big as the anime or other special interest clubs.
Never Give Up
There seems to be a lot of people going through some hard times on the site so I just thought I would share something from my past that might be able to help other people who might be going through the same thing.
Things just got worse for my mom and I again. We were getting some extra money that helped cover the cost of bills from a settlement. But then the dangerous family member who has been after us for six years took that away.
At the same time my mom got a work injury where she broke her shoulder bones and wrist bones. Now she is also having troubles with her mouth because we haven't been able to afford much of anything for six years, being on the run, let alone a dentist bill.
