I did a lot of blogging in August due to Blaugust, and for some reason it also meant that I shouted to the void quite a lot. I mostly stuck to omg.lol's Status log, where people couldn't reply or react to what I posted. Sometimes, it was nice to just shout something into the void without getting an echo back. I did just discover that you could follow that feed via RSS, but that's probably old news to everyone else.

Yes, this is another post about that article. I recently posted a pretty heated article about another website I now regret the heatedness of. But what bothers me is the fact that instead of presenting counterpoints to me in a gentle manner, people went to the site itself to talk about me. Someone said, paraphrased, in the shoutbox of the site being discussed, "all I can think it's it's a result of severe mental illness". And... is that not, "Clearly you must just be a sad mentally ill person on…

My blogging workflow - alpha test edition lilithesque Sat, 22 Aug 2026 - 11:06
by lilithesque, Mon August 24, 2026
As my thankfully appreciative spouse will tell you, I love a process. It calms my brain, plus it's a vital reference for those days when Brain Fog strikes. So for week two of Blaugust[1] it's a no-brainer that I'd take up the prompt to explain my current - though very nascent - blogging workflow.

I woke up this morning with a genuine fear response that I can't really explain. It lingered here with me for about two or three minutes out of nowhere. It was a pretty odd feeling.
As I sat there gripped with fear for no reason, I had a lot of thoughts run through my head and one of them was about how much I hate EverQuest for sucking away so much of my time, but I think that was mostly just a reflection of how two or three things (outside of my new, reborn EverQuest Addiction) are stressing me…

Over the last month or so I’ve been feeling tired and fed up. Feeling a bit down. Physically sore, stiff and sensitive.
This is not depression. There is no benefit - to me anyway - in pathologising what I am feeling with a medical term. I am merely somewhere on the spectrum of human experience I find uncomfortable. I am not suggesting that depression is not something that can be experienced but rather I don’t think for a moment that how I am feeling now aligns with a medical diagnosis.
I underst…

I told you I was struggling, existentially
you said: being an adult means doing things that you don't want to
do you think I like doing laundry?
--
It's 3 AM and I'm feeling sick, emotionally
I woke to vertigo, to racing thoughts, to write what I can't say
the feelings fade eventually
--
You don't tell me things because you're afraid of how
I'll react. That I won't respond, in the way that you want
and guess what? I share that fear now

"What can we be doing to support you?" is a line that we…

Menopause saved my life.
I'm kind of tired of writing about my suicidal ideation, but even when I have moved past it, it still feels like shelter. Like without being suicidal, I am exposed to the cold and the elements and the wildlife, and it is wanting to extinguish myself that lights the warming fire and fills the belly and shrouds me in safety. I am trying to figure out who I am without that cushion to fall back on--the idea that nothing matters because I'm going to kill myself eventually any…

For three years now, I’ve dutifully filled out my gorgeous Hobonichi Weeks planner every single day. As someone who hates blank pages, I really believed I had achieved the elusive planner peace that many dream about. However, planner peace is boring, and I think I’m ready to switch things up a bit.
It’s also worth mentioning that none of the Hobonichi Weeks covers have really stood out to during the 2027 previews so far. I liked the interior of the Moomin Weeks the most, but I don’t like the cov…

It's been a rough week, but in some ways things are starting to look up. I'm doing a slightly better job saying "no" at work, and have managed to scale back my hours slightly. Granted, things are still not where I'd like them to be, but this week has been a vast improvement over the last couple months where my balance has been seriously out of wack for reasons that are neither interesting nor justifiable.
The end of summer always presents a certain amount of added stress, as back to school prepa…

This week in Blaugust has the theme of Introducing yourself. I haven’t really done that this year, so here goes.
Who is Kelly Adams?
I’m a 62 year old man with greying red hair. I am married and have been so for 36 years as of July. My wife and I live in Castlegar, BC with our dog and four cats. Here is a somewhat recent photograph of me for visual context:
Me: Kelly Adams, in the flesh so to speak
I have an out of date “About me” page that gives a bit of an overview of my interests. But in summ…

The birth trauma of a brand new blog lilithesque Tue, 11 Aug 2026 - 15:43
by lilithesque, Tue August 18, 2026
The beauty of the modern web development platform is just how quickly a website can spring into existence. Not like the glory days of trudging barefoot uphill both ways in the snow, dragging raw HTML code behind us one way and CSS the other.
Case in point: it's kinda remarkable that a couple of weeks ago, this whole site didn't exist.
(Sure, right now it's still mostly two blog posts and…

And it’s scheduling post time, I did pick some morning workout over morning posting in the end, so schedule is a little late today. Trying to be productive in the morning, but not a lot of time available and pretty tough competition for that time.
Another week with some birthdays, this time 3 birthdays in one day and thankfully all will be celebrated in the same family circle, but that means RIP my Saturday stream this week + potentially late Sunday start and earlier Friday finish.…

Well, these sure are some words in a (probably) coherent order.
Today I was hoping I would stumble upon something to write an easy post about. But, as of 8pm, I haven't. The problem isn't really ideas, it's more that when I sit down at the computer or whatever, what I want to do isn't write. I can 'write' an entire 2000 word post in my head while doing laundry, but once I sit down it's "Oh, what's the point, that's boring". That's usually why I have to grab ideas and write them down as soon as I…

Welcome to Blaugust week 2, which conveniently just lands on these Saturday Weekly things. This one is much more akin to “normal activities” for these posts.
I’ve pretty much recovered from last week’s illness issues, the worst part of all that is not feeling like, sick sick, but still feeling lethargic and tired. Because then it’s all just, being super aware of everything you’re not doing.
Other than that not a lot of excitement. We got some quotes for replacing the roof, they were in the expec…

My state of health has been a bit rough for the past twelve months or so. I had severe sciatic pain, then a mental breakdown, and following that some nearly crippling anxiety. But it is all good: I’m living a good life, just struggling a bit.
My list of maladies is incomplete, however. I developed an intestinal disorder of some kind starting in April, and it adds to my other problems in interesting and diverse ways.
NOTE: This post will be covering some unpleasant topics about things like bowel…

I have been working to check off boxes so my brain will be quiet. Then when I complete one task, another worry presents itself. My mental health hasn’t been too great after being in flight or fight mode for a month. I’m beginning to question how I function. Am I only trying to live up to people’s expectations?
I’m trying my best to be present and exist in the moment. I don’t want to take on too much or go into anything unprepared. I know what happens when I do. Struggling at some point or anothe…

AH-- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I've written a couple thousand words today and yesterday which, don't get me wrong, were really fun write-ups but if I'm going to commit to the trials and tribulations I have lined up for me (more writing, in the spirit of BlAugust) then I need to tone it back.
Not only on a literal, word count scale but on a metaphysical level. I need my soul to rest. I'm too introspective. I put images in my last post, I haven't done that in a while! Have I gone mad? Do I have a temp…
