Masterlist

- she loves you so so so much omg she will do anything for you

- she’s the ‘hands in her pockets, scowling at everyone and only smiling softly at you when you talk to her’ kinda girlfriend

- she loves buying you things. even if you glance at something for a few seconds longer, it’s already in her hands and she’s at the register

- she loves when you sit on her lap or between her thighs where your back is to her chest, no matter your size. sometimes when you walk into the room, she looks up at you and just man spreads so you can fit in her lap

- to get her attention right away, pull on her belt or jean belt loops; she’s full attention on you and only you for the rest of the night

- when she comes home to you, she loves to shove her face in your chest and just inhale deeply. bonus points if you’re wearing a tank top where she can feel your skin on hers

- she’s a big chest person; always grabbing at you (it doesn’t matter if you do or don’t have a chest for her to grab, she’ll find a way. TRUST.)

- she loves when you get your nails done because then she gets to feel your nails on her skin and scratching her scalp when you drift off to sleep. she loves it when you slowly drag your nails up and down her arms when you cuddle

- she hates baths… unless you’re with her. she’s usually behind you while you lay your back to her chest, her arms resting on the sides of the tub as she drinks a beer and you with a mug / cup of your drink of choice

- you definitely have matching stuff. matching keychains, matching necklaces, matching bracelets. she’ll even let you paint her nails black just to match with whatever color you like

- even if she loves treating and pampering you, pls do it to her too !! she will melt immediately and become a big purring mess

“you always treatn’ me so well… my good girl.” she mumbles into your chest, sneaking her hands up your shirt to rub mindlessly at your stomach. you hum with a smile when you feel her hands; she’s always a sucker for skin to skin. you run your fingers through her hair.

“you always treat me so well, Lo. you deserve some love too.”

- i just wanna be called “good girl” by fem Logan, pls.

Day 1 of 5 day workout week:

It’s only Monday and this week already started off challenging. I developed some upper back spasms over the weekend and had to rest and use anti-inflammatories and relaxers. This has happened in the past. Some rest works well in the beginning for this, but too much can actually cause stiffness. So, eventually, I needed to get moving again! By this morning, I felt much better, but I was extremely cautious with the weight training.

-I reduced the load and reps. I did no bent-over rows or pushups. I tried to avoid anything too jarring. I also used resistance loops and ankle weights for lower body, instead of weighted lunges and squats. I put in 30 minutes of good work here! 💪🏽

-I also nixed kickboxing, as jabs and punches were contraindicated. I chose step aerobics instead and modified any movement that I felt could aggravate things.

Total calorie burn = 415 kcals 😊

All in all, I managed through! We’ll see how I feel tomorrow. Hopefully, things continue to improve and I can continue to progress. 🙏🏽 For those of us dealing with this heat wave, stay safe out there! 🫶🏽

Digital Citizenship in the Age of Social Media: Navigating the Impact on Political Engagement

In our rapidly evolving digital age, the concept of digital citizenship has become increasingly crucial, especially as social media plays a significant role in shaping the dynamics of political engagement. Digital citizenship is defined as “those who use the Internet regularly and effectively” (Mossberger, Tolbert & Mcneal 2010). A digital citizen should possess characteristics that include a comprehensive understanding of human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology, associated with the commitment to practising legal and ethical behavior (Ribble 2008).

Social media, acting as a catalyst for change, serves as a powerful tool for informed political political news (Zhuravskaya, Petrova & Enikolopov 2020). Digital citizens use quick access to information to stay in the loop about what's happening worldwide, breaking down distance barriers and creating connections. It's important to use this ability responsibly, especially when keeping up with political news.

However, challenges arise in the form of algorithmic echo chambers that reinforce biases, threatening the principles of digital citizenship. Responsible online engagement demands that citizens break free from these bubbles, actively seeking diverse perspectives, and participating in open dialogues to reduce disagreement. Additionally, according to Papakyriakopoulos, Serrano and Hegelich (2020), people who participate in online discussions, expressing their opinions, have the power to shape how others, both active and passive users, understand political information. They can also directly impact the actions of political figures.

On the other hand, while certain studies suggest that using social media for news has a positive impact on democracy, encouraging political engagement, other research indicates a negative influence as it contributes to the dissemination of misinformation (Valenzuela et al. 2019). For this reason, digital citizens must be vigilant in critically evaluating information, fact-checking, and resisting the potential manipulation that threatens the integrity of democratic discourse.

Despite these challenges, social media remains a powerful tool for political mobilization, requiring digital citizens to engage responsibly. Grassroots movements, fueled by hashtag activism, exemplify the positive impact of digital citizenship in mobilizing individuals worldwide to advocate for change. The dissemination of information to a broad audience empowers citizens, fostering active engagement in shaping the narratives within the political sphere.

In conclusion, the multifaceted impact of social media on political engagement underscores the need for a strong foundation in digital citizenship. Being responsible digital citizens involves navigating the digital landscape with a critical eye, actively participating in diverse dialogues, and leveraging the power of social media to contribute positively to the democratic discourse of our times.

New episode! The text we're looking at is not what you'd call a literary masterpiece, but I think it's so bad that it loops around to being funny. Also Zoe's incredulous exclamations during the plot summary make it worth it.

Ever wonder what would happen if a medieval priest challenged a group of pagans to a god-off? Well, in this episode, we're diving into Sidrak and Bokkus, a lyrical poem of 415 questions and answers to the universe, framed by Sidrak, the Christian paragon, destroying a group of pagan priests with Facts and Logic (TM). We're more than confused by his approach, but hey, at least he makes his point with pizzazz!

fear and anxiety

putting yourself out there is horrifying. the idea of actual people seeing something ive written or made is nightmare inducing. i understand that fear or anxiety is an integral part of the process in making something that's actually decent, but the fear of publicly making a mistake kind of makes me, and im sure plenty of others, want to curl up into a ball and pretend you don't exist. fear can stop you from making mistakes but it can also stop you from making something you can be proud of, something meaningful.

creating something, especially from scratch, you are absolutely going to make mistakes. you're going to make really stupid mistakes. somehow you have to continue on. for someone like me that struggles with the idea of being seen out of fear that ill make a stupid mistake that ill never be able to live down its important to find a way to be semi ok with that potentially happening. in my opinion there's a few things you can do with fear; when it comes to music there's 3.

1.) you can take all the fear and anxiety and put it into your song. plenty of amazing artists have expressed their fears, in creating music, in daily problems, and in the general nightmares of our dystopian lives, into their music and arts. it makes for an amazing motivator and brings life to your art.

2.) exposure therapy. make something you know will not be good. a silly song you can make fun of for years to come in a healthy "i meant to do this" way. personally i like to go into garageband, go to loops, and select loops at random and see if i can make a song out of the loops i end up with. it rarely turns out good but its always fun to mess around with. another thing i do is make a song that is purposefully bad, either mixing songs that sound horribly chaotic together or write a song that just objectively makes no sense. then there's no pressure to be good and you can get straight to having fun while still furthering your skill-set.

3.) wither up and cry from the sheer stress of it all.

not recommended.

today i decided to go with exposure therapy and made a song with random loops

personally i think it needs a lot of work but there's parts i really like, i might revisit this and make it into something that's actually decent.

Six Flags Magic Mountain: The Ultimate Thrill-Seeker’s Paradise

Nestled in the heart of Valencia, California, Six Flags Magic Mountain stands as a beacon for adrenaline junkies and amusement park enthusiasts alike. Known as the “Thrill Capital of the World,” this iconic theme park has been delivering heart-pounding excitement since its grand opening in 1971. With over 100 rides, shows, and attractions, including 20 world-class roller coasters, Six Flags Magic Mountain is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure. In this article, we’ll dive deep into what makes this park so special, explore its history, highlight its most thrilling rides, and offer tips for making the most of your visit.

A Brief History of Six Flags Magic Mountain

Six Flags Magic Mountain’s story began in the late 1960s when the Newhall Land and Farming Company envisioned a family-friendly amusement park to complement their growing residential community in Valencia. The park officially opened on May 29, 1971, with a modest collection of rides and attractions. However, it quickly gained a reputation for innovation and thrills.

The park’s name, “Magic Mountain,” was inspired by the surrounding Santa Susana Mountains, which create a picturesque backdrop for the park. Over the years, Six Flags Magic Mountain has undergone numerous expansions and transformations, solidifying its status as a global leader in roller coaster technology and theme park entertainment.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the park introduced several groundbreaking coasters, such as Colossus (a massive wooden coaster) and Revolution (the first modern looping coaster). These rides set the stage for the park’s future as a haven for thrill-seekers. Today, Six Flags Magic Mountain continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in amusement park design, with record-breaking rides and immersive experiences.

The Roller Coaster Capital of the World

What truly sets Six Flags Magic Mountain apart from other theme parks is its unparalleled collection of roller coasters. With 20 coasters to choose from, the park holds the Guinness World Record for the most roller coasters in a single amusement park. Whether you’re a fan of high-speed launches, dizzying drops, or jaw-dropping inversions, there’s something here for everyone.

1. Twisted Colossus

A reimagined version of the original Colossus, Twisted Colossus is a hybrid coaster that combines the classic wooden structure with modern steel track technology. This ride features dueling tracks, where two trains race each other through a series of twists, turns, and airtime hills. It’s a must-ride for coaster enthusiasts.

2. X2

Often hailed as one of the most intense coasters in the world, X2 is a 4th Dimension coaster that flips riders head-over-heels while the seats rotate independently. With its fiery soundtrack and dramatic drops, X2 delivers a sensory overload that’s not for the faint of heart.

3. Tatsu

Tatsu takes the concept of a flying coaster to new heights—literally. Riders are suspended face-down as they soar through the air, simulating the sensation of flight. The highlight of the ride is a massive pretzel loop that delivers intense G-forces and breathtaking views of the park.

4. Full Throttle

As the world’s tallest and fastest looping coaster, Full Throttle lives up to its name. This ride features a 160-foot vertical loop, a high-speed launch, and a record-breaking 164-foot-tall loop. It’s a short but exhilarating experience that will leave you wanting more.

5. Goliath

Standing at 255 feet tall, Goliath is a hypercoaster that offers a mix of speed, airtime, and sheer scale. The ride’s signature drop plunges riders into a 255-foot tunnel, followed by a series of camelback hills that deliver weightless moments of bliss.

6. Superman: Escape from Krypton

This iconic launch coaster sends riders hurtling backward at 100 mph, simulating the sensation of flying like Superman. The ride’s towering 415-foot spike offers stunning views of the park and surrounding landscape.

Family-Friendly Fun

While Six Flags Magic Mountain is best known for its extreme thrills, it also offers plenty of attractions for families and younger visitors. The Kids’ Zone features pint-sized rides and interactive play areas, while Bugs Bunny World brings the beloved Looney Tunes characters to life with whimsical rides and meet-and-greet opportunities.

For those seeking a break from the coasters, the park offers a variety of flat rides, water attractions, and live entertainment. CraZanity, a giant pendulum swing, provides a thrilling yet accessible experience for riders of all ages. Meanwhile, Jet Stream and Roaring Rapids offer refreshing water-based fun on hot California days.

Seasonal Events and Special Experiences

Six Flags Magic Mountain is more than just a summer destination. The park hosts a variety of seasonal events throughout the year, each offering unique experiences and entertainment.

Fright Fest

Held annually during the Halloween season, Fright Fest transforms the park into a spooky wonderland. With haunted mazes, scare zones, and themed shows, this event is a favorite among thrill-seekers and horror fans.

Holiday in the Park

During the winter months, the park celebrates the holiday season with festive decorations, seasonal treats, and special performances. Holiday in the Park is a magical experience that brings joy to visitors of all ages.

Summer Concerts

Six Flags Magic Mountain also hosts a series of live concerts and events during the summer, featuring popular artists and bands. These performances add an extra layer of excitement to an already action-packed day at the park.

Tips for Making the Most of Your Visit

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience at Six Flags Magic Mountain, consider the following tips:

Arrive Early: The park can get crowded, especially on weekends and holidays. Arriving early allows you to hit the most popular rides before the lines get too long.

Download the App: The Six Flags app provides real-time wait times, park maps, and show schedules. It’s an invaluable tool for planning your day.

Purchase a Flash Pass: If you want to maximize your ride time, consider investing in a Flash Pass. This skip-the-line system allows you to reserve ride times and minimize waiting.

Stay Hydrated and Wear Sunscreen: Southern California’s sunny weather can be intense, especially during the summer. Be sure to drink plenty of water and protect your skin.

Explore the Food Options: Six Flags Magic Mountain offers a wide range of dining options, from classic theme park fare to healthier choices. Don’t miss out on the park’s signature funnel cakes and churros!

Plan for Breaks: With so much to see and do, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Take breaks throughout the day to rest and recharge.

Why Six Flags Magic Mountain Stands Out

In a world filled with theme parks, Six Flags Magic Mountain stands out for its unwavering commitment to thrills and innovation. The park’s record-breaking coasters, immersive theming, and diverse attractions make it a destination like no other. Whether you’re a seasoned coaster enthusiast or a first-time visitor, Six Flags Magic Mountain promises an unforgettable experience that will leave you craving more.

As the park continues to evolve and introduce new attractions, one thing remains constant: its dedication to delivering the ultimate thrill. So, the next time you find yourself in Southern California, don’t miss the chance to visit Six Flags Magic Mountain—the Thrill Capital of the World. Your adventure awaits!

Time to play:Is it Taltz causing my immune system to fail or is it Normal?

Two weeks ago I had sinusitis symptoms. Took antibiotics and it helped.

That same weekend I ended up in the hospital with what turned out to be a bladder infection (which I had 0 symptoms of prior to the extreme pain it ended up causing) and, according to the scan at the hospital I also have a cyst of "significant size" on my ovary which between that and the swollen bladder have been working together to cause chaos.

Plus I got a cold sore. My paternal grandmother got them all the time and passed them to my sister and I as babies and sometimes if I've been sick enough they come out. It's had me in a bad place mentally because of my own personal feelings about it.

Still battling some issues with that despite the antibiotics but now I'm not sure if it's infection or just the cyst.

Now last Friday I woke up with a sore throat and mild congestion. Over the weekend both things have been getting worse.

I couldn't sleep At All last night. I tried going to bed around midnight but my throat was so dry and my sinuses hurt I was too uncomfortable and just kept tossing and turning until about 230. At that point I remembered the window was open and thought maybe the dry air coming in was causing it so I shut it. It helped a little. I wanted to drink something but I've been hesitant since the bladder issues are worse at night and it makes me not want to drink anything.

I tried to do some day dreaming hoping it would lead to real dreaming and it did but only for about 40 minutes.

From 315 to 415 I once again struggled with the intense dry throat and pain.

Now from 415 to 6 I couldn't shut my brain up. Intense racing thoughts and anxiety related to work.

I missed work last Monday because of the bladder stuff. I was in so much pain and had added nausea from the antibiotics.

I was supposed to start a new case today, a new patient's first day with our company. I really wanted this case for a few different reasons and I think it would be a really good fit.

But I've been awake all night, I feel run down, I feel hot, my throat is hurting, my sinuses are burning, I feel so tired.

They said it's OK and to feel better when I called (finally made the decision at like 615 because I was supposed to be up and getting ready to leave for 730) but I feel so guilty. I feel like it reflects bad on me and the company and it's day one and I really wanted this case and I hope they don't take me off it for good because of this and idk.

I spent hours beating myself up over it before I called and now I'm still beating myself up over it. Despite knowing I'd be suffering during a full 8hr hands on shift with the night I had and how I feel in general because of whatever is going on.

So I'm kinda miserable all around.

I keep trying to convince myself it's just allergies. Because the pollen and the blooming trees, and the change of weather, etc. But I took allergy meds and they didn't do anything. I took the 24hr pseudoephedrine and still nothing. I think it's either the sinus infection has come back or maybe it's a new one, or possibly tonsillitis because on Saturday I did have some spots on my tonsils (I get tonsil stones though and because of my cold sore I didn't poke around at them to see if it was stones or not) and they are swollen (which for me is normal anymore but they look extra swollen and red now).

So idk.

Part of me wants to be like que cera, cera

But the bigger part of me (where the anxiety and mental health issues live) is going to beat myself up over today.

My Lola knows I'm not feeling great and I'm upset because, despite the fan being on which she doesn't enjoy, she jumped down from her loop/perch and is laying on the bed with me (she did use the opportunity to scratch the curtain, though). She's going to snuggle with me and then get zoomies. It is prime for zoomies.

“...and the hits just keep on coming...”

Skyler Trent, Florida inmate F81277, born 2000, incarceration intake in 2021 at age 21, released 06/21/2023

Failure to register as a Sex Offender

Originally from southern Oregon, Trent has lived a colorful life since his 18th birthday.  Living in Oregon, he had been indicted 8 times for a number of minor things, including some cases that were just outright dismissed.  

He did manage to achieve a conviction.  As an 18 year old, he was convicted for statutory rape having had sex with a 14 year old girl.  His argument in court was that he did not know she was under 18 and that it was consensual.   That matter got wrapped up in November 2020, with a 30 day sentence in the county jail and 3 years of probation, plus an obligation to register as a sex offender.  

Deciding to make a new life for himself -- any not bothering to keep any officials in Oregon in the loop -- he moved to Florida.  

Within a month or so of arriving in Florida, he got himself hooked up with one Ali Williamson.  On April 21, 2021, the two of them attempted to speed away from the scene of a auto crash, for which they were a party.  Ali Williamson, 24, as a driver and Trent, 21, as a passenger, hit a parked taxi and separately injured a woman.  Williamson had been fighting with her roommate (the other woman who was hit) over a cell phone and a TV in Williamson’s possession in the car, when Williamson  physically assaulted the former roommate that was trying to get the phone back.  Williamson subsequently tried to drive away slamming into the parked taxi.  

Law enforcement stopped the vehicle that Williamson was driving (Its hood was up impairing her line of sight) and arrested both passengers. The woman who was hit said she was injured in the crash and is pressing charges.  Deputies said Trent, who was riding with Williamson, and while not a direct party to the dispute, was discovered to have an active warrant in Oregon -- which had only been issues two before on April 19, 2021 -- for failing to, yes,  register as a sex offender.  Unknown to Trent, presumptively, he had also failed to register in Florida as a convicted felon (from Oregon), and as a sex offender.  Trent said he was unaware he needed to do so.

Trent was not indicted for any events around the car accident, but was indicted for failing to register as a felon in Florida, and for failing to register as a sex offender in Florida.  His crimes in Florida was not for anything that he did that caused pain or harm to another person, but simply that he did not tell authorities he existed.  

His previous elongated criminal past did not help him out when it came down to sentencing.  In the computation of his sentence, his prior activities added a potential additional 2+ years to his final presumptive sentence.  The guidelines indicated a minimum sentence of a little under 4 years.   In a plea bargain he was given 2.5 years.  

In addition he was fined $1604.50, which included Investigation costs of $677 and Standard Court costs of $415, and a ding for the privilege of being prosecuted at $100; among other things.

When Trent is discharged from prison in Florida in June 21, 2023, with his Oregon case still open court case:  Failure to Register as a Sex Offender in Oregon.   As of August 28, according to Oregon court records, no action had been taken.  The last docket entry on June 9, 2023 indicated that this attorney had withdrawn from the case.

Audio Fiction Fundraising Roundup: Oct. 2021

Hello, hello, after the great rush of shows fundraising at the end of summer, it looks like we’re picking up speed again before the holidays - so here’s some fiction podcasts you can donate to right now!

Sidequesting

Sidequesting follows Rion, an adventurer who’s willing to help anyone out - as long as they’re not being asked to deal with the scary wizard that everyone keeps talking about. They travel from town to town, meeting new people and doing new things in a series of light-hearted, episodic adventures.

They are raising funds for their third season, and revealing new writers and episode titles as they go!

Progress: $778/$2,000

Ritual Six

Inspired by media like Groundhog Day and Happy Death Day, Ritual Six is about a young man, murdered, who awakens to find himself reliving the same horrendous events over and over again. Against all odds, he and an unlikely crew must break the curse and save their home from destruction.

They are crowdfunding for their first season! Their first episode is out, and people can go check out the first spark of this death loop now.

Progress: $615/$5,600

Soul Beneficiary

Soul Beneficiary tells the story of Noelle Reeves, a college sophomore whose life plans are interrupted when she inherits the Antiquity Hotel, a failing ghost tour attraction in the city of Wescaster. Not only is the hotel actually haunted, but Noelle must find a way to protect its inhabitants from something much more sinister.

They are crowdfunding for their first season!

Progress: $2,158/$18,500

Ostium

Already five years in the running, Ostium began as the story of a man named Jake Fisher discovering the hidden town of Ostium. Once inside, he finds many doors that lead to different places in space and time - typically at the sites of major disasters and disappearances. Along the way he meets up with fellow Ostium traveler, Monica, as they go on many adventures together.

Ostium is fundraising for its sixth season after a year of crossovers with 18 other podcasts!

Progress: $415/5,000

The Technomancy Project

After surviving an attempted cult sacrifice, Jason Fenix finds himself entangled in the affairs of a secret, government organization responsible for handling paranormal, esoteric and occult activity. Unable to recall the past eight months, Jason must work together with Special Agents Elijah Long and Allie Watts, in order to solve the mystery behind his missing memories.
