But what can you do.   You can&#8217;t control people.  Not into playing the role of Cassandra, pleading with people <a href=\"https:\/\/dorybot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screenshot_20220709-193253_Twitter.jpg\">incapable of hearing me<\/a>.  And I definitely don&#8217;t have the energetic &amp; material capacity to give people the support they need to change their behaviors.  It fucking sucks, but it is what it is.    Things are wayyyy better when you don&#8217;t waste so much time trying to prove yourself.   Society does all it can to break you down, so, I do all <em>I<\/em> can to pursue pleasure and leisure \ud83d\udc96<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2600\ufe0f Speaking of society breaking you down&#8230;that&#8217;s a topic related to my most recent essay,  <a href=\"https:\/\/dorybot.online\/index.php\/on-compatibility\/\">On Compatibility<\/a>.  My recent drawings are, this <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/d0rybot\/status\/1540832334055890946?t=4LLwfDrWNmavL89zs89ySQ&amp;s=19\">lovely home dinner scene<\/a> and an <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/d0rybot\/status\/1544140630972157952?t=Zecn-THoAhGFu3coxyIP6g&amp;s=19\">exploration<\/a> of these characters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2600\ufe0f It&#8217;s slow going because it&#8217;s slow going and it&#8217;s going to <em>be<\/em> slow going till it needs to get going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2600\ufe0f In all earnestness and honesty,  I don&#8217;t really want to be full speed publicly existing until I have the core concepts of  my internet series essays published. Once I get started on whatever&#8217;s next in this life, I&#8217;m going to lose that thread, and 1) I really want that series finished so I can just link those essays instead making new pieces for the same thoughts  and 2) I really want all these internet thots I have out of my head so they can stop rattling around in there.   And essays take a lot of time and space to thoughtfully craft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2600\ufe0f That&#8217;s the heart of it all right now, really: I need time and space.   I don&#8217;t know wtf I&#8217;m doing or where the fuck I&#8217;m going.  But do I know repeating the actions of what I was up to pre- 2020 will bring no joy or comfort. American society is like a being pressed down with a metal pressing machine at all times, the pressure increasing more and more.  But what am I supposed to do, roll over and die?  Not on your life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2600\ufe0f Anyway, I watched <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BuzznTheTower\/status\/1542169072389001216?t=ZGrqEyQw3ZlG-3-mdUuqGg&amp;s=19\">Conan the Destroyer<\/a>  the other day and can&#8217;t stop thinking about Conan.  The obvious influence on Skyrim and D&amp;D and all of that.  Arnold Schwarzenegger&#8217;s big fat bouncing tits.  The fact that Conan came to be while on a trip in <a href=\"http:\/\/rgvmack.blogspot.com\/2006\/01\/conan-in-rio-grande-valley.html?m=1\">the RGV<\/a>.   But also like&#8230; Robert E. Howard shooting himself the head at age 30 some because his mom was about to die.  Like.  What??  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2600\ufe0f With the massive documentation on this guy&#8217;s life, it makes more sense &#8212; he was a burnt out &#8220;make America like it was in 1776&#8221; type guy.  Reading <a href=\"https:\/\/deepcuts.blog\/2022\/04\/06\/deeper-cut-conan-and-the-shemites-robert-e-howard-and-antisemitism\/\">back and forths<\/a> between Howard and Lovecraft being racist shitheads feels like reading 4chan, but like&#8230;100 years ago. It&#8217;s a strange feeling.  Not even vile internet losers are anything new, it was just in a different medium then.  So much has changed and yet nothing has.  Frustrating and irritating.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2600\ufe0f This textual landscape is good tho:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"485\" height=\"694\" src=\"https:\/\/dorybot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image_editor_output_image-24529491-1657417738832.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dorybot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image_editor_output_image-24529491-1657417738832.jpg 485w, https:\/\/dorybot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image_editor_output_image-24529491-1657417738832-210x300.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That is <em>exactly<\/em> how it feels to come back home.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2600\ufe0f Anyway, watched Red Sonja yesterday and it was definitely a film.  Some parts felt like things were just&#8230;happening, while other parts were fab (we stan an evil hardheaded lesbionic queen \ud83d\udc4f).  Overall lush and evocative, if not cohesive.  Sometime soon, I will watch the first Conan movie and the trilogy will be complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2600\ufe0f It&#8217;s soooo fucking hot&#8230;.Heat truly brings an altered state of mind.
