    WE SHOULD PLAY IT AGAIN SOON.

    BUT. Fine. I suppose I can go find my old lab coat and dissection kit and pretend to be a scientist?

    I did. And then the person who had a scientist career got fired and had to take a lesser paying job as a pilot. Muahaha.

    Yeah they did. I mean it kinda makes sense as a strategy, but still.

    OH MY GOD I MISREAD THAT. I took 'read' to be present tense and you were telling me you enjoy reading underwater porn. Wtf even is that.

    Oh I've tried to get like all of my friends into it. So far only one has even bothered to watch me play it, although another one said she'll try it this week so we'll see.

    BUT I AM ALL SCIENCED OUT. Actually yesterday I played The Game of Life with some friends and one of them ended up with a Scientist career and I laughed because I was sitting over here being a secret agent.

    Yeah no. Like one of the guys just kept alternating his spamming with saying things like 'I'm mafia' and '[this person] is mafia' and they were so I reported him.

    I DON'T KNOW. I woke up just as I was like getting dragged into some kind of underwater prison or something. It was terrifying.

    He doesn't, but I explained it anyway. Then later on I quoted the ToS rap to him and explained that too and if we hadn't been friends for a decade he probably would've ditched me then and there.

    But I've done so much biology. I don't want more.

    YES. There was one time where of the five mafia there was one who didn't understand his role and kept trying to forge people we weren't killing, one who was just an idiot, one who was spamming, and then two good players, myself included. Me and the other player died early on and had to watch the worst mafia ever and it was so frustrating. We won, but we sure as heck didn't deserve it.

    Yes! Also somehow that talk of titles reminded me of a dream I had the other day. Right so for some reason I was a superhero, and there were a bunch of us trying to save a city or something, but then we all started getting kidnapped... I was the last one left, but then I got kidnapped after turning into my mermaid queen superhero alter ego (I think I had a green tail for some reason). And I woke up long enough to put a note in my phone to remind me to tell you and then I went back to sleep.

    That's fair enough. And thanks. And likewise. And etc. <3

    Okay so I'm meeting my friend's girlfriend for the first time today, right, and yesterday he sent me a message asking if I wanted to meet his 'gf' and my first thought was literally 'But that's gamethrowing'. Halp I think I have a problem.

    I will try to send them today but idk if I'll have time before I go to the markets.

    Sure. Which parts do you want to give up?

    It's risky but it pays off sometimes. I can also recommend claiming trans. I saw someone do that yesterday, and they always had another mafia member back them up with their claims even though they were actually, like, framer or something. It was great.

    I WILL. EXCEPT I need to do my dog training course first. Then it's straight on to law school.

    I'm... eh. Hence why I've been spending so much time online. How are you?

    OKAY. Um. Actually I'll PM you, I have a few questions.

    Haha, no worries. I think you have so much of a life makes up for me having none, so it evens out across the mermaid kingdom.

    Sometimes it doesn't pay off though. I try not to claim doc because that's the sk cover. Ret is risky, but other people are less likely to claim it. Plus it's harder to disprove. I always say I'll revive someone, then claim RB. It's great. Maybe I should be a lawyer though, if I can be convincing enough to talk someone into lynching their own team?

    Also no you did not PM me. I meant VM. My bad.

    I HAVE BEEN PROCRASTINATING FOR LIKE THREE DAYS STRAIGHT. NaNo is coming and I'm so not ready halp.

    Also you're so busy and it makes me nervous because is that what having a life is like? It seems kind of daunting. And no, I don't have an appointment. Waiting on the design. Also I've decided I want some kind of wolf tattoo at some point but idk what or where or.

    OH MY GOD okay I just had the best/worst game. So I was the blackmailer right, and there were maybe five maf to start with? Godfather, two blackmailers, consort, janitor. But the escort found our gf really early so we went so many days without anything happening. So I was just BMing random people, and then I was jailed so I claimed ret. Turns out there was an actual ret in game, but he didn't realise it was unique. So I BMed him and he brought the jailor back and I TOOK CREDIT FOR IT and nobody questioned it because I'd publicly claimed ret earlier. So then the other mafia members died and I became mafioso and systematically killed everyone off, all the while throwing shade on this lookout who had called me out earlier. Then it came down to the actual ret, said lookout, and me, and I talked the ret into siding with me and we lynched the lookout, and then I won and it was awful because the ret was lovely and I felt so bad for lying. But then the dead mafia guys all voted me MVP and it was lovely. Buuut while I was writing this I played another game and two of the mafia threw the game and one was just an absolute jerk. Also I'll reply to your actual PM later, just needed to gloat/rant.

    Oh lord almighty you've had a rough go of it. Also for what it's worth, donating blood isn't that scary. Actually that reminds me, I'm almost eligible again so I might do it before I get my next tattoo. But yes, waiting sucks, especially when you have lots to do. I'm going to stay out of your way and not distract you for a while because you seem super busy and kind of stressed, but if you do need to rant/vent/talk/whatever, let me know.

    Also yes I was. And then my best game today, I thought I screwed from the start because I was the godfather and there were only two other mafia members, but then there ended up being four witches... one of whom we lynched because he claimed vig and we thought he was arso, and another of whom called me out in his will after controlling me (even though we didn't kill him, the sk did) which was like day three or something. No idea how I didn't die tbh.

    About me
    Hey all! My name is Dez, and I am a 28 year old who just graduated with my Masters in Public Health. So I basically just entered the "real world" and have to be an "adult." Ew.

    On any given day if I'm not here you'll find me napping, sitting in therapy, or watching something on Netflix. I'm trying to do this thing called "finding a hobby," so feel free to pass along your favorite books and TV shows.

    I have an interest in sexual health, especially contraceptives, the prevention of sexually transmitted infections as well as HPV and the vaccine in particular. I stand with Planned Parenthood and similar reproductive health organizations. I also have an interest in vaccines.

    I'm still basically trying to figure everything out myself, but feel free to say hello. If I don't answer right away, rest assured that I will when I get a chance! :D

This is a letter to my guinea pig, Pancake, who passed away 7/1/25.

Dear Pancake,

You left this world on July 1, 2025 after a brief illness and were cremated on July 3, 2025. I am sorry that I didn’t notice that you were sick sooner, such as when you stopped wheeking for food when I passed your room around dinnertime. The room was quiet whenever I walked by for a few days, and I thought it was because you were getting tired of my dinner selections. Maybe if I saw that...

My dad searched my room before I got out of the hospital and took my good self harm and suicide methods. I'm trying to wait for the right time to get them back and it's so hard. What he didn't find to self harm isn't as satisfying so it's not giving me that same sense of relief. I was self harming a little more severely before he took away all my stuff and now I can't get back to that same level. And I had a plan for those suicide methods.

I also gave up what he didn't find of my...

Well, I got a little too silly. Here's to hospitalization number 6.
Where I go to group made me go to the ER because of an increase in suicidal ideation, self harming almost daily, and nonstop anxiety.
The ER itself wasn't bad. My patient sitter was so nice and we had a lot of great conversations I haven't had with previous sitters. Then I transferred to the ABU part of the ER where I had my own room with a TV and watched a SpongeBob marathon.
I got to the...

It’s been a while since I have blogged and a lot has happened but honestly I can’t think of most of it at this point so I’m just going to go with the main points.

I am very much not okay. I almost ended up in the hospital because I was incredibly suicidal but I decided to do a partial hospitalization program instead. I had to stop seeing my individual therapist because the insurance won’t cover both at once so I’m hoping she is willing to take me back after I am done or I will be...

I did a risk assessment with one of my group therapy clinicians the other day and it told us that I was high risk for suicide. I already knew that was going to be a thing. My mental health has been bad lately. The clinician let the crisis team know and they called me, but I was able to convince them I was fine.

I was supposed to go for a medical test on the sixth. They had me go off of my reflux medication to do it, and then the day before the test they called and said they made a...
