The fake nake picture of miranda cosgrove

Idk where else to post this for advice not sure if this is completely relevant
Hi I (22F) just ended a two year part time internship I had while in college. And about two weeks after it ended my old manager (55M) requested to follow me on Instagram. I never gave him my info so it was either suggested to him or he search for it.
His Instagram handle was his first and last name but no profile pic, posts, or tags. It was public so I looked through the following to make sure it was really him.
It only had 20ish followers half of which were bots. But it did follow 200 accounts a couple were stuff like his old college football team that he followed that made me sure it was him. The creepy part was it was majority p**n bots, instagram models that mostly post revealing photos, and female celebrities.
He didn’t follow anyone with the same last name as him nor did he follow our company nor anyone from work.
He is bad with tec so maybe he doesn’t realize that people can see who he follows.
Still it has completely creeped me out. I denied his request but I keep thinking out it and it’s making me feel sick. Like this man that I trusted wants to look at photos of me between pictures of random naked women.
He was never inappropriate at work but he always would say we should go out to dinner together to discuss my career. I’m looking back and blaming myself if he misconstrued something nice I said to be flirting. I know that I shouldn’t blame myself at all and it’s all on him but how can anyone think following a co worker on ur instagram you use to basically look at p**n is appropriate.
I can’t move on from being so disgusted, advice? Any chance I’m interpreting things wrong?

My nights in Barcelona as a top
Barcelona is definitely up the top of gay sex destinations
Ive been a few times for a weekend getaway and have had the most passionate sex sessions there. The best and horniest meetup:
Im a 8” juicy cut dick top DL south asain guy My first time a few years back i was 19 had gone to Barcelona for a weekend trip from my home town near London, i had booked an air bnb so hosting wasn’t a problem. I had landed that day around midday got settled and had something to eat, after went to a 420 cafe whilst sat chilling in came across a 23/24 year old spanish twink, sent him over a pic of my rock hard cock, he replied with a picture of him from the back he had the most smoothest body tanned skin and a lovely cute bum, asked him to meet nearby at a bar for a drink later that evening,
i walked in and he was already there we got a drink and didn’t talk that much as we where both meeting for one thing only,
We then went back to my airbnb as we walked back it was late so not many people around we chatted a little and i cheekily slipped my hand down the back of his pants and ran my finger through his ass crack, what i had felt nearly made me cum then and there before we even got to my place.
It was the smoothest and softest thing ive touched. My dick got rock hard instantly he saw it poke through my trousers and caressed it whilst walking the the streets of bcn
We reached my place and went inside. As soon as that door closed we had the most passionate snog ever, we exchanged saliva as soon as our mouths locked. We started undressing eachother, his body was like nothing id ever seen silky smooth and golden skin, had the most peachy ass i was in heaven, he was petite twinky i was skinny with a hung cock, We where both butt naked i sat on the bed and started rolling a joint, no questions asked he got down and started sucking my throbbing cock, he had the best head game i have ever experienced, i had finished rolling my joint and had taken a couple puffs whilst he was still lathering my cock and balls with his saliva, i put the joint down and started quivering from his insane skill,
I had never eaten ass before but his just had to be explored with my mouth it was the sweetest thing i had ever tasted, i made it wet with my saliva and started pushing my tounge in and out he loved it was saying stuff in spanish which i couldn’t understand but i just knew he loved it, We alternated for hours i couldn’t stop eating his ass that night, my first time doing it. We where both hnh and drunk and after pleasing his pussy for hours i couldn’t take it anymore and had to fuck his pussy which was throbbing whilst my tounge was inside which told me he really need to fuck, i spat on his pussy and stuck my big wet juicy head inside, it slipped in went all in with no effort but yet was still so tight, it was just perfect, we fucked for hours whilst taking breaks from the fucking going back to him sucking me and me rimming his abused pussy, it just kept tasting better and better, This went on for atleast 5/6 hours, the sun went up and light started to shine through the window he exclaimed that he had work in a few hours and we had to finish, his english was broken but i got the jist, I still hadnt cummed yet but he was in a rush got his clothes on and just as he was about to leave i pulled him close to me and we had a really passionate snog, this caused him to strip off again and stick my cock back in his ass i had let him ride me and he literally made me cum in 30 seconds, from holding it for 6 hours to just made me cum inside within 30 seconds, i cummed in him he then got up and got changed again, Little words being exchanged, i said i want to see it come out, he pulled his pants down again with his back pack still on bent iver and started pushing my cum out of him. It was the cherry on top for me after that beautiful and passionate sex session, that encounter made me rock hard every time I thought about it for months,
Barcelona has the most beautiful bottoms ive ever seen and they fuck soo good.
I have a few more amazing experiences in bcn.
It is the place to have great gay sex away from your normal straight life
Edit: mid fuck we went out onto the balcony of my place and wrapped a blanket around us and started fucking on the balcony in the middle of la ramblas, people started watching us a couple guys tried to get our attention to join us but we just dropped the blanket and fucked for people to see which made this experience soo much hotter, we continued our alternate roles on the balcony he sucked i rimmed whilst we where both butt naked on the balcony, we only came back inside when we saw a police car pull up opposite side of the road

(I’m 14) I have a friend she’s 16 years old and stayed back a year she has had issues in the past with SH and has pretty crappy parents but I feel like I never really was like attached to her really? I don’t know how to describe it We met on the bus and she immediately insisted on me coming over and I was rlly uncomfortable with it but it’s my fault for agreeing and most days she vents to me about all of this stuff and I don’t know how to handle it- and I’m definitely the ah for this but a different handout I just didn’t come from a mixed of sickness and lack of motivation and I feel really she was grounded and her dad broke her phone so I couldn’t talk to her over the phone and tell her. she makes me uncomfortable to some degree because she talks about drugs and alcohol and has asked me numerous times to get her some and how she’s addicted. And I’ve seen her YouTube account a couple times from being next to her as she opens it and I think she watches gacha heat? But she has a lot of siblings so maybe it’s one of them but I think her account is private and I didn’t mention it because I didn’t want to snoop around at all. She was pregnant at some point and has a kid and has openly talked about how if I wasn’t in the room that she’d be naked while on call using her moms phone with her boyfriend And she’s not a bad person just growing up with bad people and I just feel bad for not wanting to be her friend and how fake I feel and being a no show.
I feel like a crappy person for not communicating with her what should i do?

A lot happened before my father passed my sisters both demanded accounts and signed on the way they owned our father and her to the lot of large amount of money before he retired one sister had full control to put one account and because her husband had knowledge of how to control people with these accounts and how to sign them to where you own them and could walk away with all that one dollar unless my dad wanted to press charges felony and he did not he lived with that for several years the thing was my brother-in-law demanded I didn't no help and no cash from my father who bought me a vehicle and he also demanded who bought from him so he could have his own cash that started a bad thing but on the other note my other sister and brother planned a long time ago to steal all on the end and one sister her whole name go in life was to still everything in the end to work as a librarian in order to mingle with authorities with a plan of cutting me out because mother made her hate me when we were children she told her she was a real oldest daughter I was adopted by my father in the state of Missouri because I had no father my mother was abusive to me and she got her words she cut me out she got threw me out of the family they had me abused I had a death threat at one time when my memories came back I have an appointment to talk to a trusted her recovery attorney next week but it's well down to now it's a dirty stuff but they're still a very large amount of money missing that was too preachers one being a bad lawyer who was elected to prosecutor because of his name the state of Missouri couldn't help me with that because he was elected. There's no protection for heirs even though there's laws in Missouri. And when did in-laws with hating their heart and greed they come errors assets were never reported I never got anything from my dad as far as I had property stored there I finally got my camper but it cost me a lot my brother forced me to sign titles and soon tops and my sister would use them on something I told her it would be fraud because they couldn't Court can tell immediately that the paper was added to after the signature landlords can't get away with that anymore unless the person can't take them to court then they do cuz it happened to me before my thoughts are I was abused my life was certain all this Northwest Missouri it's very corrupt a bank account was moved when I was dying in another state and the prosecutor won't even let me look because it's been a few years back I need prosecutor the bank was concerned like there was a criminal and that prosecutor said get a lawyer well that's all I was told by a person well when they have more money and they've used pictures to launder money they use the prosecutor to get their way to not probate a larger state and they turn their back on me that goes to me like I am a disease because I know what they did my life was in dangerous I still don't feel safe I'm in this town I'm working on getting away from here so I can take care of the rest of this but my children didn't deserve to be cut out my father did not do this they did what they wanted for very large amount of money who got a very large attack right before he died and then I don't know who got the money I'm not money doesn't drive me but the fact that they did what they did has me irritated because my children did not deserve this my brother was supposed to probate and help me get all this done so my sister's got their way so far but my mother was in the background she was the first ex-wife and he was single but my one sister control freak controlled dad never move after his last divorce and he couldn't trust her she stole tooth imagine that grave sold them a year later without telling him to make banked on that but she did that because my other sister would find onto his largest inheritance account and controlling him with it he didn't press start his own either one but he did turn him in before he died after he got that last check he was bullied that's why they wanted my memory is gone I hired somebody to come into my life I found Love with a narcissist who was there for hire St Joe Missouri is very corrupt Andrew county was where the prosecutor fake probate attorney was they're still a fake casing at the judge refused to move it off but my brother is no longer represented who paid it to get it stopped to get those two titles back my father bought way more local than that my brother and said he was doing his own probate he bullied me to sign in 15 titles two were property I can't find out where those went except for I know they were laundered through his church his Titan picture who greedy preacher but also was involved and getting money off the top that's I'm in the assets it's all a mess it's a very big mess I'm talking to Tony next week another one thing is only have one chance that they got more money than they're counting you know I they laundered money they did it's on public 300 vehicles cars and trucks at dad bought for probate my brother promised to do with me that sisters pays him to do with that program that month is already had the prosecuting attorney as a lawyer he's not even a probate lawyer and now he's not a prosecutor attorney who knows he did wrong he's also a preacher but he's one of those tithing pictures like the other one putting printers lying their own pockets with other people's money they don't give it to the floor they're legal things in my eyes but I'm opinionated

Disclaimer: This post was written by a friend that cannot post himself: howardkitty94. Everything in this post was written and researched by him, all credit goes to him:
I've been analysing data since Friday 31st of May...and I think I may be getting somewhere...Excel sheet attached for anyone to build on what I did or to improve please also check my DD...
Now, we know someone is buying a whole load of $20 dollar Call options expiring on the 21st of June? Why?
Because that can trigger a squeeze...
Let me start off with the basics for people with a smooth brain
When you buy a call, you have a strike price and expiry date
If the closing price on the expiry date is above the strike price, you can exercise your call, the broker finds a share, and it sells it to you AT THE STRIKE PRICE, regardless of the market price.
This has a 2 business day settlement period. So if it is exercised on a Friday, it is typically delivered on a Tuesday..
So the whale investor who bought 20 dollar calls, expiring on the 21st of June… For the sake of not raising expectations we will go with a low number - If the stock price closes at $25, he will make money.
But it also does one thing behind the scenes.. It creates buying pressure on the stock price, and if many of these calls are exercised then it creates a buying pressure...driving the price higher...
However if it does not close by at least $0.01 above the strike price, calls are typically not exercised. Even if you make money from the call, it does not create a squeeze.
Which is why buying calls correctly is very important
Now this is not financial advice, this is what I am personally doing and I am NOT telling anyone what to do.
I currently own shares and based on my own personal research and conclusions I plan on adding calls.
The calls I plan on buying will be ITM or ATM.
Deep OTM $45 dollar calls are efficient, but no way near as efficient as ITM or ATM, yes they will add massive amounts of fuel to the fire if the price of the stock reaches the strike price (45$), ITM calls have higher deltas, which means that nearing expiration - Market Makers will have to hedge the risk of the ITM calls being execrised by… Buying shares themselves. Let’s say your ITM call at 20$ strike price has a delta of 0.6, and each call is 100 shares, then MM’s will have to BUY 60 shares if your call is in the money, and if shares are hard to come by, then they will fight the short sellers for these shares, further contributing to the fire. This is very explosive.
I personally would buy them so that they are high enough to make some profit from the contract, but low enough where I know it would most probably hit the strike price. 100$ strike prices are not as efficient as 20$ strike prices because their delta is 0.xxx, which as you guessed it, is worthless, and MM’s will not hedge the risk of the calls being exercised because there is no risk, no one will exercise 100 shares at 100$ per share if the stock price is at 30$ right?
So maximum risk for hedgies? 20-35 dollar calls for the 21st of June.
Why? Because how do we know this battle with naked shorts will not continue? How do we know if the CAT system will help like it should? How do we know there wont be more ladder attacks?
MOASS can take weeks, if not months to complete. But a lock the float scenario is favorable.
Buying and DRS'ing is half the battle, think of it like a military force, you have the men (us) they are the shares, now you need the guns (calls), and then we need to aim the gun correctly (correct strike prices)
Based on my calculations, on the 31st of May, 41,707 would be eligible for exercising their contracts...this equates to (using average 100 per open interest) 4,170,700 shares that need delivering T+2 (Tuesday settlement date)...This should cause some buying pressure on Monday and Tuesday just like how we saw last week when we rallied to 26.5 on Tuesday...
Lets keep using 23 dollars as a hypothetical closing price for this friday 6th...this number is now 2,559,400...
And then on 14th it is 874,000....
But then on the 21st A whopping 20,924,700 shares need delivering T+2 if it closes at $23 USD...Thats when it can hopefully lock the float... And 23$ is on the lower end. Again this is very explosive.
Now the DRS'd shares are well above 25%...how do I know this? Because at the start of May the DRS'd shares was at 25% (capped by computershare), and then 45 million new shares got sold...and the number is still at 25%...meaning we are well above 25% in DRS'd shares...
When we start a firecracker, the FOMO's join in...This drives higher pressure....If I do not sell...when all these contracts are exercised...then that creates massive buying pressure....If I hold on to the shares that are exercised...even more buying pressure...When shorts are forced to hedge their position during this run even more pressure....I hold even further than the 25th of June...Even more buying pressure....
Link attached to my spreadsheet....note the 31st of May only has calls but the rest have both calls and puts as puts below the strike price also have a right to exercise (helping the run)....
Also, if anyone can find the options data for the 31st, 24th of May please let me know so I can further build the model...I cannot find them and I need them to build a bigger picture...
If I have made any mistakes...I'm only human, correct me...

Spread this knowledge, calls are a cheap way to make MM’s pay for your cause. By owning ITM calls you essentially force MM’s to buy shares for you.
And remember, “no f*cking fighting” as stated by our beloved kitty. $GME

I’m a single mom F(27) of two boys. I reconnected with my childhood crush (let’s call him “R” M(28) and things started out slow and steady mainly because he was shy & inexperienced while I was going through my own issues with court battle and insecurities (college and finances) after leaving my ex years ago. We have this instant connection together, fell in love and both work 3rd shift in healthcare but it was more of a pull and push situation based off our FA attachment. If it helps I’m a Sagittarius Sun, Scorpio moon and he’s an Aries Sun, Cancer moon. I’m a scorpio Venus and he’s a Taurus Venus.
He started taking purposing me more seriously last year (we started talking August of 2022). He wanted me to meet my kids, his family and friends but with school, work and court I just couldn’t make the time and was over our flopping relationship. He started to distance and pop back up now often. I had a feeling he was talking to someone else which he denied. Last October I caught a girl’s text come up on his car play and he denied it saying it was a tenant. December I found her tik tok and found out that she wasn’t and they had a picture together in one of the photo dumps. I confronted him and he blocked me. Telling her we were toxic and nothing serious.
That same December I found out I was miscarrying and failed out of my classes. Since then I’ve reached out but pulled back. He made several fake Snapchats and number to reach out to me. Begging for me back, asking about trying again for a family just for her to post them together. Made plans with me on Mother’s Day just to ghost me.
Everything has been incredibly hard for me. I can’t stop seeing if they’re together. It’s worse because I come from a toxic family and moved back with my mother to focus on school which I can’t now due to my school balance. My support system is worse than ever and my children’s father and wife are just a narcissist nuisance.
I’m so lonely and just want to surround myself with better people, support and positivity but it’s hard when I’m unfamiliar with what that looks like nor have the time to really search out for it. R was like my left hand so it’s hard for me to throw it all away. If anyone has any advice on how to reconnect with one’s self and create a better environment as a single mom please let me know? I’m losing all hope in people & myself.

Hello, I can't sleep and Im getting pills for it. I have been awake for 48 hours now. And things are a bit of blur. But I have realised that I have picked up and extreme urge to write. I dont know how or why, but I crank out amazing short horror stories in 20minutes, and cant remember why. i realise that there are symptoms regarding sleep deprevation but whats happening doesnt match anything I've seeh. So yea the compulsion to write is weird and I have developed an obession of posting them to reddit (this I swear is not one), lying and not knowing why to commenters. I had posted a list about of game I like but not that much, the list was a thousand words, and I spent an hour of time doing nothing else making this list, all of knowledge I'd forgotten about. You can find the rest of the messy mesy story, and I lied and said I was high in one post, and took down countless others. I dont even use reddit that much, always that it was a bit weird, and though. I was mostly wrong, I thought I would come here. I have ADHD and focusing is hard for me, and i have never been so hyperifxated on something like that in my life. And then i started a little log to see where im at during my sleepless night. Each hour. I logged. And Logged And logged. I didnt realise how much i was hallicinating, but I think I was in REM sleep and I somehow retained perfect ability to type on keyboard without seeing and look. I thought that everything I was typing made sense, but after kinda snapping out of it, I realised in horror kind of. So i took my photo booth opened, it and ran a video of me. I was in REM sleep for sure, and i was typing unbelievbly fast. I remember everything, I could think and then my hands would type it. I know it sounds weird, but like my imagination, my subconscious thoughts were being projected somehow. Heres all 3000 words and counting of it. the last couple where I do the test make it unclear, but unless someone actually replies to this, I will save images and photos for later. I am currently still hallucinating but not as badly so pardon my misspellings.
Now I Swear on My Life this is real, none of my friends believe me, my sister does though. please help me
Here it is
-1am feeling tired didn’t get to sleep until three last night, so this sucks
-3am haven’t done any work went don’t disturbing internet mystery rabbit hole. Also what will my screen time look like? Not good.
-5am- That’s when it hits you, the birds and the light, worst feeling ever. Microsleep hit, and I hallucinate myself watching a video. WTF.
-8am-I have been writing a short story for the past 3 hours, wtf is wrong with me. I get out of my room at 8:30, and something shocking, happened, I looked in the mirror and I have a six pack? At first I thought hallucination and dismissed it, went and had nothing for breakfast apart from some ice cream. I am scared.
-9am-taken medication feel fine. I have not eaten much and I am aware it is taking a toll on my weight. I have six pack and look shredded. This is not a good thing.
-10am- all my 2500 word essay got deleted. I notice sleep deprivation and medication, has a weird affect. It masks the affects of sleepiness. I feel fine, no fatigue, could work for ever. I have a 1 hour tutor session, let’s see how that goes.
12pm- Finished tutoring session - felt easy speedy and fine. Am heavily addicted to reddit. I feel like the dexiamphetamine is having an affect on my body which makes me entrenctched into whatever I am doing.
2pm- Got to get ready for kickboxing class junior leadership thing. My face is riddled with pimples. This is caused by a lack of sleep and water and proper nutrients.
5pm- I got home, feel fine, it was really cold though. No signs of cognitive decline like I usually show. Actually I take that back, things have become to become distorted, my eyes are messing with me as a result of the micro-hallucinations I am experiencing. I took 2 more dexiamphetamines, probably a bad idea.
8pm-I feel amazing, but at the same time little work as been done on rave. I am completely and utterly obsessed with writing stories, I spent and hour and a half texting my adventure to London, and I begun to get really descriptive. I am not in a good mental state(Not as in depressed, as in I can’t judge if what im doing is weird, it has to be right?).
9pm- Symptoms are really starting to show now. I have been listening to sad songs whilst I write my English, it is a story so it’s going well.
9:30pm- I have spent too long over many hours compiling a list of things I’d like to see in fallout 5. What the fuck, I am at the point in which I can’t take a step back. Computer screen distorted at time. When I am typing, I keep thinking about how to do the hashing technique using curved lines with a ball point pen. I have wrote probably over 800 words disputing claims about my fallout 5 post.
10pm- I have possibly written an amazing English assignment. My dread in which consumes me, about this assignment is keeping me motivated whilst I listen to music(mainly sad music.) I love the start of the song violent crimes by Kanye west, I had that on repeat for a while until I moved onto other sad songs, because I didn’t want it to burn out (its a great song)
10:30 in bed now feeling weird. I was wondering around and yep im hallucinating, and it sucks ass. Minor ones at the moment, which are good, but it’s more like my mind will think something is there that is not. Does that make sense? But then in the hall way, it was dark and as I turned on the light I saw some fucked up face. Alright now im scaring myself jeez.
10:50 So right now typing this the visual hallucinations have definitly set in, it’s weird that I am conscious enough to witness it happen in real time. This doesn’t feel real. How to describe what I’m seeing, like waves silk-like distortions of everything. Right now I look up and I see like silky distortions of the corner of the roof distort and move. It is significantly worse in the dark, as brain has to make up for a lack of what is there. I turned the light on and yes it is better. They are still there but are minor and less apparent. Legitimately everything scares me, my body is jumping, I guess as my brain is focusing as much maybe, and then when I do hear something out of the ordinary it spooks me. I don’t know why but I feel like all of sudden im just gonna go crazy and it’s like a race against time, but it will be slow and I will see how long I can last. Typing has become significantly harder as I loose control of my motor skill which has happened in a short time of 30 minutes. Wow creepy peripherals make up visuals, idk why that is
-11:20- Taken videos as updates. I feel like this is the quiet before the storm. My brain is making things up and it’s pissing me off. It has revoked my right to type, and everything that is not in my direct peripheral now is some sort of the thing. Like bro every key I type my fucking brain slows down, it’s taken me song long to write this one thing. I can’t think of what I want to say to next, that’s a big one. The changes come on so rapidly and everchanging
-11:40-Brain is sending in backups. My typing speed has increased but my ability to spell words correctly is failing. Right now it’s just not fun. No major hallucinations, just a feeling of dread mixed with a nice side of a painful ass headache and a need to go to the toilet. I find it weird however that when writing, usually a mundane task, my brain kind of goes on autopilot, and I have some sort of visual hallunciaiont, this is weird for the reasons stated, and that my hands seem to be moving themselves, and I am watching them, similar to that somen in black mirror, with the museum. BTW black mirror is NOT something you would want to watch like this. I had dream about white Christmas once, and I felt like I was stuck in there for a million years. #existential crisis right. Ok weird, so it seems like when I disassociate my brain keeps typing, I am having a bit of neural input it seems, but my brain fog which was so present all but 2 minutes ago gone. Ok yea noises are starting to appear a bit. Butt cheeks were clenched. I feel like a lifeless dummy rn. Waiting for next phase. (Prayer emoticon). Also why does my fingers just magically know where all the buttons
12am- And the clock hits twelve. Half way there. At the end of this I will have successfully completed 42 hours. Its not a flex or anything I am aware, its just what choice do I have, try and sleep and be constantly reminded of the overbearing weight of the assignments all due this week?? I don’t want to think about that, no-one does. My fucking bad I managed my time wrong im a fucking kid after all. I am going Canberra college next year and this week has been a step in the wrong direction for me. After mum left everything went to shit. I cannot control myself, I am addicted to gadgets. I need to watch my computer to go to sleep or the google home. I have a compulsion to reddit, and I eat like shit. Chicken in some sort, lie about having vegetables. If I even tried to make a food diary of some sort for these last few days, I would be put on fucking trial for the murder of any chance of bitches. I treated my body like shit. The best word I can describe this week in is - Grunge. Like fucking living in your own shit. That’s how I feel. Everyrnight same routine, go on computer, watch videos until 12, watch google home go to bed. But not really.. Instead I would appear to stay up to 2am or 3am and go to bed, eat some food or something I don’t fucking know. I know I am sleep deprived. It is showing in my works. Weird addiction to writing, my adhd hyperfocuses on something. Drawing and Writing. As I write this my brain tries to seduce me into its gaze. The room or just the essence of living is moving, right to left, like im in a slide, and then left to right, and then so on and so forth. I am afraid this is what happens when you eat nothing but sugar and sugar and sugar, don’t sleep and drug your self on drugs. Skin is just a warning, my body brain will be infected I need to stop. I cannot live unregulated.
12:13am- My eyes heart, everything’s shadow is big and I don’t know how much more of this I can take. It is hell, and Im not even at the micro sleeps. They sound low-key cool. I am waiting to go out, make myself a wrap with butter, and get around the computer as I mindlessly do nothing. I don’t watch YouTube want, other way round, and thoughts of my intentional original purpose, to do work for school, left the window a long time ago. I close my eyes for a split second and I ee a teddy bear. They keep appearing, things are melting, this is it baby, as Jeff Kinney would say, we in for the long haul. I want to keep typing and I don’t know why, partly because it is cool that I have kept typing this long, and partly because what else do I do. Wait for it to consume me. If I had a pen and paper, I could have drawn the images I see on my computer screen, vague but the all have cross hatchings, a term I am learning. And what happen to monkey type, I swear I searched it. Is it the micro sleep? Is it coming. Yea. Maybe not.
12:30am- Writing these becomes a scapegoat for my mind to kinda control me and I don’t like it, so Im going to keep it short. No differences, Battery low I will have to brave it out of room soon. Hallucinations minimal, and chicken in peripheral which is toy and bedsheet, but I can’t see it as anything else. Cute little reference my brains making, but I have two finder files, and my brain this its two cookie monsters lol. Also eyes are still heavy. I have gained complete and even I would go as far to say enhanced motor control, I feel like I can type fast, and I hear every single click on the key and It freaks me out. I intentionally leave errors in here, not many but some, and my stupid ass thinks im going to read this and think it’s all mysterious. Upon further reflection, I may have been having depth perception hallucinations. What is weird is no vivid hallucinations but everything is something if that makes an inkling of sense. Im not really all there any more. Weird how that works. Time perception is completely altered and distorted. I could have sworn twelve o’clock was ten seconds or 1 hour ago. I cannot swear on either, but ten seconds ago? I could have sworn on one, I cannot remember which one anymore. Speaking my thoughts does not make cohesive notes on my problem and predicament, I should refrain, but sometimes my brain naturally does this. Yea saw souls of the damned again when I blinked, weird, and now liminal shit im seeing, because my brain is like ooh scary I should scream now, and then it pumps out all this shit. It has been 6 minutes since I started writing, that sounds about right, but at the same times that was long, very long, marcy long. (Kill her long). I chicken which is a building waves a hammer at my building. It is the side bar on the right side of my MacBook.
12:37: wanted to wait until 12:40 but time sucks ass and is an illusion. You many know by now that my posts have ramblings of random topic and will veer off. This was not my intention, if I write for longer than a minute I loose my grip on my brain, it starts writing what It pleases. I have to think really hard about what I want to write, even then it just autofilled it. Lucky it’s right. Computer percentage critically low. 9%, yet I am filled with joy and dread right now. I think this could be caused by the effect of my dexi’s that I took, like a long term effect, or rather just the lack of sleep. I am deeply disturebed but interested by myself. I now have real hallucinations now. Files are quickly changed to name. And a beigeish green blood phases through my door fast. If I look at my hands wrong they look like they are encrusted in dry blood. I had to think if blood was the gang or Blud was the gang, that is how you know sjits gone down the drain.
1:00: It is officially one-ocklock and I let my brain take the rails once again(don’t let me down). So right now Im feeling fine, but sometimes I will have clear clarity and feel fine, no hallucinations, no nothing, and this will be followed by an intense one that will not be scary just like kind of convincing. One instance I don’t want to forget is me looking through my old video from a couple hours ago. One of them my arms look weird and photoshopped linked down bellow, and I have like a led type trip. I think it could be inspired by those weird ass instagram reels I watch, but Idk, It was me and that pose, changing shape a bit and material. I was real glossy and like twisted and moulded and back to normal it was weird. I couldn’t see my arms, especially my forearms the same after that. One phenomena which is uniquely odd is the compulsion to write here. I can understand a lack of time knowledge and perception, as it is natural of one when under these conditions, but have loose your sanity to a point where you are able to mindlessly drone on about things happening to you, is weird, weird. It initially started off as an idea, one sentence or maximum short paragraph talking about each hour and how the where different to the next. Also just got jumped scared by the image thanks bitch. Whilst righting this I am aware I made a mistake (writing), I feel like I have some consciousness left, but if I don’t blink it really hit me. So I keep blinking to report back to base. Yea the head is tilting sideways turned into like a fucking dragon praying mantis thing for a sec. Right now I feel alright, the dream is supposed to get to me but it is hard for it to pass, I know that I am supposed to feel creeped out but I don’t, I like it when for a second my brain will just think of something and loose it. One truly weird thing is me being able to hallucinate pictures through the writing. Always cartoons, depicted silly and offbeat. I don’t know why though. Yea Ididnt wright that by the way what the hell. The good ole noggin did. My head stopped hurting, and my neck has softened the blow a bit, and takes a bit of pain not much, and the my neck is also is cricitacl condition, after seeing Moby at the fucking side bar again. This time it wasn’t a chicken this was Moby from fucking Moby and ted. Ok now its ahicken peeking its head out back to straight what the fuck am id doing llama fr fr fr
1:13-computer is low, very low, at 4%. I am back by the way, I got sucked in again but got out and read it really quickly. The fr frfr is from the Tyler the creator song fr fr fr this time. Ya know. Ok so not this time but next time iwirite a paragraph or a time, I am going to record myself, and then when I regain my sanity, I will watch the video to see what I look like, when I am truly not with it. I don’t know if the same thing will happen with this paragraph but I hope not. This notice was just a short one but stay safe. One last thing that is not helping me, I am now scared again, I heard stomping in the kitchen , and I know it could be fake but everything there is stomping in the kitchen I am able to know because if there is at this Time of night I feel my heart drop, and I did which helps add to the case. I don’t eellike investigating but igueess if that is my best option then I will but now is not really there right time. When is ithe right time officers saying gtyring to gain media attention from the main. Never get the fuckout of my house.
1-18am(the test?) So this is the test but I obviously need something to talk about and I have a topic. So basically I think I have cracked the case to the nonsense rambling in which I don’t understand myself. It is a literal projection of what is going on inside my mind. You know how sometimes people will take things literally and then you’re like no I didn’t mean it like that, well it’s kinda the same thing. I say something insidede my head but it comes out through my fingers. And it’s odd because it come with such swiftness and such durability. Right now I a doing it it yes made a spelling mistake whilst looking at my green gamer screen. I don’t know how or why this done. I am back to realign. And yea this is odd, not quite the feeling that I get when I completely disassociate. I am starting to think that maybe I am begging to miceslepe these series of events and include e the within the paragraph, it happen a little bit there, and unlike try to be the bait for other final charges, this on has no backing against it. There it is again, little less than the first time, but my mind wonders and my hand followed. What if I thought some truly despicable stuff, something that would surely get me banned from ever participating in it agin. Now no I have to read this later I don’t really want to hut then again, i if it fits thehe description then we have t o. Brain disrupted my train of thought, I think I had important breakthrough, Never imind I id, the breakthrough was that when I am looking or blurring my eyes, the top of my head the curtain and y alien arms along with the righting combnined to create some sort of card with a circle in the middle in which I can only presume is a play ng car. I am currently doing right now let’s describe. So I hastily have the some sort go grounding I am loosening it,. It is a hashing draw g clear as dal, with I big leak on the right side and spills over, probably
1.28am- the big move. Just kidding I just have to get out of bed. Let’s see who wins me our bed.GUESS FUCKING WHAT BABY I WON. So I should probably start with the obvious what the fuck Is actually happening. Yea will I thought I was fully conscious, dogs barking keeping me in there. So my subconscious is a weird weird weird thing. Yea fuck it’s happening again, I didn’t mean to type that. Ok so talk about more later, but if I can spit it out in time, I enter a state of REM sleep when I start typing, and my brain doesn’t understand what is imaginary and what’s not so it fills in gaps, and whilst doing this, inadvertentltly transposes your visual in real life, and your imagination, until it creates a weird state in which nothing is quite real and nothing is fake. God that sounds so pretentiously ominous. In the video my eyelids flicker, which is why this is my main theory, but what amazes me, is 2 distinct things. The first is my ability to type whilst looking away from my computer or with my eyes closed. I don’t misspell words, which is confusing as when testing this to the best of my ability whilst in this state, I don’t get very good results at all. The second is the fact that I am fully aware of what is happening. I am able to translate what is happening in my mind to the document, with a little bit of brain fog mixed in, which is obvoiusly going to happen in things like this.

It seems like I dont really vibe with a lot of types (obviously i'm not using MBTI as an end-all-be all but i've seen shit line up all too well).

• I immediately disqualify any extroverted type - they're just not for me. Extrovertedness is not something I'm looking for in a relationship. It's too big of a clash over the long haul. I don't need someone to bring me out of my "shell", I do just fine on my own.
  
• INFP: I like them and I feel they're a really good opposite in a relationship (me INTJ man, her INFP woman). I can deal with their emotional side because (sexism incoming) it's cute when a woman does it. However, sometimes there are a lot of head-shacking / "for fuck sake" moments.
  
• INFJ: That fairytale romance where two lost souls understand each other.... until the INFJ just becomes all fake, manipulates and paints a picture that's not real (if you know what i'm saying). Almost amazing compatibility ruined by some a couple massive "flaws".
  
• INTP: Perfect "mindmates" but too much of "us", can't trust them (flaky/morals) and it feels like two depressed mfs walking in unison and there's no sign of "sunshine".
  
• INTJ: Fuck no, what a headache to deal with another me.
  
• All the rest of introverted types just don't do it for me and never have.
  

It seems like it's just a revolving door of ENFPs, INFPs, INFJs in my life.
What gives?

>>Well if house music was air, and Doctor Love would be my song, and I would only take deep breaths and fill my lungs with the rhythm or the bass<<
I went to Lightning in a Bottle last year, and I came home with a sense of hope and optimism for the future for the first time in a decade, so of course I had to go back. How can you not go back to the event that gave you a sense of hope and optimisnm after a decade? It wasn't as revolutionary --- how could it be? you can't have a life changing moment every year, that would be exhausting --- but it was fantastic, and suffused with a sense of play, being a little kid on a playground running around with my friends, a thing i never had as a kid.
I went to the woogie/do lab on Friday night to use it as a ground, because it's the do lab, it's the safe space, the grounding place. But by the end of the night it had inverted and all of Lightning was the safe-grounding place, and over the course of the weekend .... I've been going to Coachella since 2005, right? and i'm gonna keep going for as long as i can, camping with my friends, but ... i don't know if it's the size of the crowds or the vibe of the crowds or the way the music is a tool to create atmosphere and experience or not ... but over the course of the weekend i realized that Coachella is no longer my favorite festival; Lightning is. And this year was perfect.
Last year I went with some friends and some people they knew, and my friends weren't coming back, and I assumed the overall group had fallen apart (and didn't check, which was me being a dick, and i feel guilty for it), and i was all set to do it alone, btu the day after Coachella i signed up with jury_rigged, who was busy organizing a group camp, because it's more fun with a pack. And then the rest of my group from last year and a bunch of their friends joined up, creating a camp of 30 where like half of us were loosely connected through the backbone of last year's camp and the other half were strangers ... but the weekend forged us into a pack, festival family, and it was great. Except for Friday, when I got separated and needed the solo time, I spent the whole weekend with a constantly changing set of people who would unite and disperse and unite and disperse over the course of the night, and it was wonderful.
I arrived Wednesday afternoon. One of the great benefits of group camp is that you don't all have to arrive at the same time, but I wanted to be there on day one. I was running a bit later than expected because I'd not finished packing on Sunday the way I'd hoped (and because I had to go to the office both Monday and Tuesday, an unusual state of affairs). I got in, emptied my car, moved to overflow parking, started setting up, then ran off to help a friend lug her stuff from the distant suburb of GA parking (one of the disadvantages of group camping is your group is larger than the number of cars allowed to be there, so many people end up having to lug stuff from point A to point B, and depending on what you signed up for, it could be a long, tiring schlep through dusty heat). Later that night, those of us who were there wandered into the festival to explore and check out the art --- a giant wooden snail you could climb up, a mesmerizing tesseract that turned even more mesmerizing later in the week when i was tripping, a trippy tent-teepee structure with an inner chamber that was atmospherically perfect, a wierd fake bodega with a graffiti-covered bus stop featuring a bird patiently waiting for a bus, a complicated structure involving a video library and a room full of globes, giant circular hammocks ... i don't remember any music from Wednesday night, but that may be a failure of memory. :)
Thursday more people arrived in the morning, and then in the afternoon a bunch of us went to go see fleetmac wood (playing at woogie/do lab), a great house band that specializes in Fleetwood mac covers. After, I wandered around a bit, and ended up at Lis, a stunning musician who used a clarinet as a centerpiece for dance music, playing in a stage curated to look like an old west town square. I made it to the opening ceremony at the fire pit, and ate an absolutely fantastic roasted ear of fresh corn. Much of the rest of the night is a blur, although I know I rammed into someone's scooter accidentally at one point and then twisted my ankle, resulting in me sitting on a yoga mat while my friend was dancing for el papachango and then falling asleep, yielding one of my favorite pictures of me ever.
I'd told myself I was going to do more workshops and what not, and one of the things i really wanted to do was a mascuiline alchemy circle, but I ended up deciding that it probably wasn't cool to show up to that stoned out of my mind, so I skipped it (next year i'll have to remember to stay sober for stuff like this during the day). I did, however, make it to a guided meditation involving pulling energy back from things as a way of helping heal fragments of my soul that have gotten stuck in places, and that was fantastic; I've been doing that most days since I got back.
Friday night my pack wanted to go in for Tycho, which was ... ok? i'm not a huge Tycho fan, he normally bores me, and he's deeply associated in my memory with a former friend who is one of the few people in my life I still have lasting negative feelings about; i was able to enjoy the set, but ... i'm never going to seek him out and he's never going to truly get my soul moving. After, we moved to floating points (i ate mushrooms), and then fatboy slim, who was absolutely mindblowing. The group scattered at fatboy, and I ended up trekking across the grounds to see the end of James Blake, whose voice is (as always) sublimely beautiful. I had some food and hung out listening to isoxo, who was a lot of fun, and then started into scream, which ... i mean, i like scream, he was a huge part of my early 30s musically, but man do i detest britstep mc culture where the mc is just constantly babbling hype nonsense over the music i'm trying to hear. For some reason it was way more obnoxious at lightning than at Coachella. So I wandered back to woogie for the end of Adam 10 x Mita Gami, who was great. (Again, the night after that is a blur, but I eventually ended up at the fire for a ritual of gratitude).
Saturday I don't think I moved until my crew wanted to go in. we made it to woogie for a bit of nora en pure, then dropped back to thunder for elephant heart, an absolutely delightful and wholesome married couple (with kids in the trailer!) who came out of the Lightning community and who absolutely got the crowd moving (despite the cloud of black smoke that passed over the festival briefly, apparently the result of someone deciding to use a gas generator in the backseat of their car. that's not the move, y'all.) I'm not sure what we did next, although I assume we saw some of Galen, and somewhere along the line I started a roll. Justin Martin was absolutely fantastic, and after that the group split; a new friend and i ended up in the center of --of the trees-- who were fun, and then tipper, which was an absolute banger of a set to dance to. there's a blur in my memory for a while and then we ended up at Skrillex's surprise Saturday night set, which was a lot of fun; then back to the fire for gratitude and a walk back to camp as the sun was rising.
Sunday, again, moving during hte day is hard. My whole crew, basically, tried to go to Rufus but only I staued; we regroobed at woogie for bob moses (an immense amount of fun while tripping), then nia archives and damian Lazarus. a lot of wandering after that, including what appeared to be an amazing set by juan g while we were trying ot use crossroads as an assembly point for clozee and a really fun late night set by lafa, and eventually (again) the fire and the sunrise.
It was a great weekend. I'm still a little bit high from it (the decompression party yesterday helped, as have daily gratitude rituals and redoing the meditation from Friday). I'm not flying as high as I was last year --- this is more grounded, but it also feels more solid, like it might last longer this time. (Hopefully there won't be the stress of a strike to shatter me like last year).
I hope all ya'lls summer is starting off well. I love you all and i'm glad we get to share this space together. :)

Okay so I don’t really know where to begin… I would say we started our relationship in October 2023 and by November he had bought me an engagement ring and had made me and my family aware of his intentions. I’ve always wanted a cute proposal which I didn’t have the chance to experience because we both knew that if we got to know each other then it’d be for marriage. One day I was feeling overcome with sadness and guilt for my actions in the past (unrelated to him and before I got to know him) and his attempt to make me feel comfortable to share these actions with him, included telling me all of his deepest secrets. This included drinking, a PA since the age of 11 where he even paid for calls, being exposed to disgusting acts during house parties/clubs. I have never drank, only went to maybe three parties when I was in school and had never been to a club. I had mentioned how disgusted I was by those things because he told me he felt the same way and how he’d never even go near alcohol or porn. The next day, he took all of that back and said he had exaggerated these things to make me feel sorry for him. He only listened to videos and felt incredibly guilty about watching them, he was forced by friends to drink and it was only on one occasion, he only went to a few parties where only once he accidentally walked into a room where a group of people were doing something explicit. I felt distraught and didn’t know what to believe. I felt so hurt. In order to make me feel better, he talked me through his entire past in detail and explained everything truthfully, which was helpful but I still didn’t know what to believe. I feel like since then so much has happened between us and we argue all the time. There are so many more issues, one example is that when we first began speaking to each other I tried to ask about his past crushes and girlfriends (obviouslyyyy) he said no one ever found him attractive and he had never liked any girl at his school. I kept pushing, being a nosy person, and eventually he said he didn’t like any students but he liked his teacher. He had sent me a picture of him and this teacher before, she was young pretty and looked nothing like me lol. I found this hard to get over, maybe because he had only called me, her and one other girl attractive so there’s really nothing else I can compare to or maybe because he claims he never said that, or that I misinterpreted it or that he doesn’t know why he was trying to put on a front when first speaking to me in the early days. I feel like I’m going crazy because I’m certain he did say that. He also loses his patience with me easily and talks to me so rudely at times.
Situations like this happen a lot, we always fight and he always asks me to explain what I feel. When I do, he tells me I’m being unfair but still apologises and says that I’m allowed to feel that way. This is also so confusing to me, the apology sounds fake or insincere as he always says “I’m sorry but…” and proceeds to defend the act he is apologising for. Sometimes I try to deal with things on my own and I always wonder, if he found out he’d be so upset or heart broken so I try not to do that to him. When I eventually end up telling him, he doesn’t even seem phased, he never says things like “I’m so sorry I can’t believe I did….” Or “I’m so sorry I didn’t notice you felt…” it doesn’t even matter if it’s true, I’ve told him in moments like that, that’s the type of comfort I need.
The end of each of our arguments is always the same, he says he is clearly not good enough for me and that I should tell him what the next step is (implying I should leave him even though that’s clearly something we don’t want). This frustrates me because his only solution is ending things when I know that’ll never happen and he never says it with words, he just talks about how bad he is and then says “so what do you want to do about it?” Aghhh I’m going crazy just typing this.
Anyways last week, I brought all this up and the same exact thing happened. At that point I had had enough and since then no matter what has bothered me and how bad, I stay quiet and swallow my feelings. This sadness has been noticed by him, my family, my mums friend and they’ve all asked him why I’m so sad, his response is just to look at me with those see I’m not the only one who thinks you’re sad eyes as if it’s a good thing that he’s right. The past few days, our drives have been silent, when we get to my house we sit in the car silently and I begin to get teary or upset which he sees, I then say “okay I’m just going to go” and he says “okay bye” and I pathetically cry by myself at home lol.
Sorry this post is all over the place. I’m so upset that we will never go back to how we used to be and that this will be my life forever. I just don’t know how to talk to him anymore. Please feel free to ask more questions as I cannot just dump 8 months of scenarios in one post ahaha. Thanks in advance!

I originally wrote this for Letterboxd and thought I would post it here, I hope that's okay; I never see this film being reviewed anywhere.
This was quite a surprise, to be honest. I wasn't sure how much I was going to enjoy the film, but I was immediately sucked in. The real genius here is the "documentary" parts spliced in between the faux horror film "Pumpkin" created by no-budget filmmakers and doomed lovers Warren Werner and Samantha Dixon who commit suicide (this is explained in the opening monologue so it's not a spoiler and you need to know it going in) when the entire town crucifies them for their graphic homemade serial killer gorefest. I (appropriately) wanted to shake the hell out of the interviewees who seem to blame the double suicide on Warren and his "dark personality" which seems to consist of a perhaps overly exuberant young love affair and an obsession with horror filmmaking; hardly anything to get in a snit about and certainly a far cry from the devil worshippers the town brands Warren and Samantha.
The other part of the film consists of the remaining footage of Warren and Samantha's film "Pumpkin" and I have to admit I thought this part was going to be awful but I loved it! Was it ridiculous? Yes. Was it cheesy? Sure. No budget? Terrible acting? Bad special FX? All present and accounted for. Technically terrible? Oh yeah. Maybe it's just me but I often end up enjoying the kind of SOV gore-and-tit-fests "Pumpkin" would've turned out to be and this one I would've likely watched more than once. It's in such incredibly poor taste that it becomes kind of delightful really, a harkening back to the era of analog without overdoing it. It concerns a serial killer named Taboris DeWitt who is hitchhiking across the country, or well, at least Alabama. But first we sit through a pretty pointless scene involving two bimbos having a pillow fight in their underwear in a seedy motel to the absolute most ear-splitting song I have ever, ever heard... and don't get comfy 'cause it plays many times throughout the film. First one girl gets a room with a "sexy guy" (god help me) named Johnny Knickerbocker, a loser hung up on his ex-girlfriend and traveling aimlessly across the country even though last Halloween he had his arm hacked off by a psycho clown and an old man traveling in a van (this part is important, for what it's worth, lol). The actor is clearly not an amputee by the way, his arm is just under his shirt. He also looks like a junkie about halfway into their nod but far be it from me to cast aspersions. They've only just seated themselves in their new temporary digs when Bimbo #1 (don't expect me to keep track of everybody's names) proceeds to immediately call up her gal pal, Bimbo #2, telling her she's got a hot guy in her motel room (yeah, no, sorry). She shows up, they have their pillow fight, they try to rouse Johnny from his opiate-esque stupor, and he then throws both bimbos out saying he's not ready to be with a woman because of his ex. He's clearly an idiot because these girls were actually pretty cute, especially for a movie like this! It's kind of a weird trend, all the girls bar one (who we'll get to later) are cute. Well I can't tell if the strippers are cute because you only really see their asses, but the asses were decent I guess. I mean, it ain't no high-class club is what I'm sayin'.
Okay, now we switch to storyline #2. Yes, these filmmakers were quite ambitious with their project, adding a whole other storyline, which means we're back with Taboris the serial killer from the beginning. They actually do a pretty decent job of switching between storylines considering. So we're back with Taboris now, who in what can only be dubbed a Tarantino-esque move has the serial killer walk right past Johnny Knickerbocker and get a room at the same motel! He's playing drunk but isn't and is in the process of dragging a very inebriated, rather portly woman (I'm sorry if you're reading this, actress) with the most irritating accent I have ever heard into a motel room. She seems amenable but simply unable - that is, to stand on her own. By some sweet miracle we do not have to watch the first sex scene between these two. He wants a ride in her Cadillac - but whoops, when she said her Cadillac she meant her pussy. Um, yeah. It's not a Cadillac. I admit to knowing this with shame. If you somehow wanted to see these two vastly unattractive people have sex, great! Because that's what happens after the Cadillac convo. And it's doggy-style. Oh yes, this glorious actress and all her rolls hanging down kind of makes her look like a pregnant... you know I'm not gonna say that. In any case, you get a good view of them doin' the nasty with great enthusiasm. He then strangles her and mutilates her body in the bathtub, talking to no one, and then washes all the blood off in the sink and kind of seems to have some sort of orgasmic experience while toweling off. It was weird.
Our two storylines (those being the serial killer plot and the Johnny Knickerbocker plot) are about to merge. Again, being quite ambitious. But you know, the editing's not bad for a camcorder production. I've certainly seen much worse. Anyway, right, so our two malcontent stars finally meet as Johnny picks up Taboris hitchhiking. Now I KNOW your mother told you not to pick up hitchhikers Johnny. Bad boy. Taboris tells him he just needs a lift for a few miles up the road. But oh no! Johnny doesn't realize he's picked up a crafty killer with a fake southern accent masking what I presume is this actor's "I am playing a serial killer" voice; a little bit Lecter-esque but mostly just pretentious. He chokes out Johnny and here I was almost certain they were gonna try and pull a Hitchcock and kill off their star (or at least one of them) early. But no, he merely chokes Johnny into unconsciousness and then ties him up, yes, at that same goddamned motel where you'd think the employees would be suspicious of this guy carrying a giant teddy bear (way to keep your cover doofus) and looking like - and answering to the name of - Taboris DeWitt, the serial killer on all the TV stations that two lamebrain detectives are trying to catch in yet ANOTHER storyline. One guy's words are barely intelligible through a thick accent and hardly any teeth. He tends to kind of force lines out in chunks but he does... okay? I mean you obviously have to keep your expectations in check here. The other guy is chubby and apparently hiding the fact that he's having gay hookups, possibly on the job? This movie has a lot of gayness, but not the good kind. More like the kind that would've been in a splatter movie from Alabama in the early 90's. Again, expectations.
Now that he's cast off the chunky paramour and left her body for motel employees to find, Taboris is moving on to Johnny. He's got him tied to a chair, listens to his story about having his arm hacked off by a psycho clown and an old man on the move in a van (but of course) and then subjects him to what feels like a very, very long and obscene dance in his underwear... to the same fucking song from the double-bimbo room earlier. This movie was starting to give off Greasy Strangler vibes, no shit. Speaking of which, that's the next thing Taboris does... with sound effects. I'm making this movie sound like torture but by god I enjoyed myself. So let's go on. Taboris is now in the mood for action (send help) and we thankfully do not witness this nor does Taboris get to fulfill his desires because... reasons. What, you gonna come for me now because I don't remember the details of the movie I literally just finished? Well, you do you I guess.
Alright, next I remember Taboris meets up with his beloved daughter Dana, who is a stripper in that sleazy-ass club I told you about earlier, but before we see her we see some pole dancing by some, uh, lovely ladies... TO THAT SAME SONG. The one difference with Dana is we can see her face and I don't think she actually gets naked in the film. She is, again, a pretty cute girl (I presume I no longer need to amend these sentences with "...for a film like this.") No really, she is cute and she does pretty much fine in her role, better than a lot of the others, not perfect but fine for... oh, I almost did it again. For some reason, Dana decides the right course of action is to tell her dad to get the hell out, allow him to leave the premises as a wanted murderer (and she knows this) and not inform the police of this amazing new lead. Oh yeah, Dana also knows where Daddy Dearest is heading. Where is he heading you ask? Why, to a horse farm on a rural road where an old man and a strangely-acting clown live. Alarm bells ringing for you? They should be; Johnny mentioned two such characters in his story about losing his arm. For some unknown reason under the sun, Taboris claims he has come seeking revenge for Johnny Knickerbocker, you know, the guy he choked, tied up, molested and almost killed? Right. Taboris gets the clown to come out to look at his car, which is beyond me because the clown is supposed to be intellectually challenged but of course that's not the term they use (which shall remain unnamed for those who can't read the goddamned room). Taboris sneaks up behind him and beats the clown to a bloody pulp with a baseball bat yet doesn't manage to kill him. I think he wanted to um, have relations with the clown. Ugh, some of this is kind of weird recounting. But if you fuckers can sit through Kuso you can sit through this!
Taboris goes back to the house under the presumption of talking about horse-racing with the old man. Uh-oh, twist incoming though! The old man and clown are no strangers. Taboris had found out previously that his real father wasn't who he thought it was, oh no. His real father was some schmuck his mother fooled around with a few times and who was married and unaware of the child's existence. Don't feel bad for him though because as soon as Taboris leaves him unattended, old Pops is getting out of his restraints and grabbing for a kitchen knife. Who will win this most epic battle of wits? Just who will survive and what will be left of them? Will I in turn ever regain my sanity? The answer to the last one is probably no, but there's hope for you (not really, there's no hope for you) if you like the sound of any of this. Oh, you thought this was the end of this gargantuan dictionary of a review? Sorry, not done with you yet. One last important piece of the puzzle has not been placed. That piece of the puzzle is the story of Warren and Samantha, dogged by rumors of devil worship throughout the town after a packed opening turns into a disaster. There are some short bits of what purports to be a local TV program who interviewed Warren on the show and you can see the light slowly going out of his eyes as he's grilled by the somewhat horrified host who clearly doesn't understand horror films or filmmaking or art. It's actually a really good acting job and very subtle and kind of brutal to watch. One can't help but think though that if the entire town hadn't made these two kids out to be some cockamamie cult and demeaned their artistic expression (such as it is), there probably would never have been a tragedy at all. Ignorance kills, and we know it. I think that is part of the story the film is trying to tell.
There's no sugarcoating that "Pumpkin" isn't great, but the documentary portion is also very sympathetic to Warren and Samantha. If a couple of kids in the middle of nowhere with a camcorder, some friends and some Karo syrup can't make an amateur movie without their lives being ruined then what the hell does that say about us as a nation? And no, you're right, it's a fictional story, but it's still a message worth sending, even though it will likely only be preaching to the choir. This type of film was never for normals anyway. What does it matter what their opinions are? They're never gonna get it. Don't chase after these type of "audiences" because they will never get or enjoy anything you make. And if Warren and Samantha had the gift of years to understand that, they would still be alive in their fictional universe and maybe even still making movies. Who knows? All that potential went to waste. And honestly I felt pretty sad after the ending, which I never expected to feel.

I came out to my friends last year in August/September. I'm 4 months into HRT - and I'm starting to think some of them are annoyed with me over it.
One friend of mine has a band and they play a few concerts a year. I didn't really know half of his band very well - but got to know them better in July of last year when I took some pictures for them and helped them with their album covers. The vocalist seemed... weird. I was quite annoyed with him all throughout the photoshoot cause he was behaving like a child and/or made weird out of left-field remarks that made my bigot radar go off.. Like when he didn't know what do say, or what to do with his hands, he did the "Andrew Tate" hand thing. Or made snide remarks about "h4h4 women" or some such - but much more veiled.
Then came December - and with it my friend's birthday. We were sitting across from each other and we started talking. He dumped a bunch of bullshit about his ex-girlfriend on me - that REALLY smelled like misogyny. He was grieving about he "did stuff for her" and how he was sad that she didn't want to have sex with him despite his efforts. I tried to actually engage with him, be empathetic AND explain to him how he's not entitled to that just because "he does nice things for her". Then he jumped up yelled "Andrew Tate! Andrew Tate! Andrew Tate!" and did the hand thing again... like a goddamn toddler. And then completely switched to just talking about how "women bad". Dude was almost crying just a few moments ago.
I challenged him and tried to tell him how that's a bunch of bullshit etc. But it was like a switch flipped, and he started just going all out with misogyny. I got angry - but kept it together and calmly talked to him. Anything I said though - he just kinda didn't understand or ignored. Mind you - we were literally having a 1 on 1 conversation. He then started to talk about how climate change is fake, how immigrants should all be sent back to where they came from... how middle eastern people are just inherently too closely related to each other, criminal etc.
I was super angry at that point and people around us had started to listen in and make remarks. He then started talking about how he'd like to rent a Hummer Truck and squash climate protesters. I cussed at him. He then started talking about how he thinks "lefties" should all be hanged, along with all the immigrants. I got so fucking angry I went completely mute and had to physically keep myself from jumping up and hitting him. He then started to talk about bathrooms and how trans people are pedophiles and what should be done to them.
Mind you, I was already out at that point, but for various reasons didn't present much differently. One of them, because I felt like presenting more femme would lead to exactly those kind of people being fucking assholes. Hence why I didn't even bring up pronouns, name - let alone dress differently.
Before he could finish, I interrupted him, motioned for him to get closer, and told him that I am going to get up and sit somewhere else, because if I don't I'm going to have bash his face in. I then got up, and walked on over to the other side of the reserved area to talk to someone else.
I did that mainly, because I didn't want to ruin my friend's birthday. I was literally done talking and was about to just bash this asshole's face in. It took everything I had not to just punch him square in the jaw.
Either way - I NEVER told my friend about it. But... from that point forward every cell in my body HATED doing anything for their band. I REALLY didn't want to do anything that would benefit this fucking asshole. Hence why I didn't help them with their T-Shirts and a bunch of other stuff.
Then came their first concert. I always loved going to my friend's concert. He's literally the first person I came out to, and if he hadn't been there I would still be in the closet. He doesn't get it - I think - but he's been nothing but a stellar friend in the last 15 something years.
I felt INCREDIBLY BAD about not wanting to support his band any further. I felt really sad about not wanting to go to his concerts - because of his vocalist. I texted him and told him I'm incredibly conflicted about coming to his concert. That I'd love to because I genuinely like going to his concerts - and would like to support him in the same way he supported me.. but that my entire body is averse to even so much wasting a single second supporting anything his vocalist does. He told me that it's fine - that I've been to many of his concerts before, and that he'd rather I stay home than me miserable at the concert.
Another concert is coming up in a month or so... and I'm not sure if I should just swallow my pride and go. I feel like I'm a terrible friend if I don't. Plus, I miss spending time with him and would really like to just have a fun night with him / supporting him.
I'm also worried that everyone in my friend circle is starting to get annoyed by me being trans. The group we had has started to die down - and since I came out last year one person just completely started ghosting everyone - and another has repeatedly said that they'd like to hang out... but it's been 11 months since I saw him... despite repeatedly asking him if he wants to hang out, and him saying he does.
There's another thing... I'm incredibly happy. The happiest I've ever been. And I often ask others if they want to do stuff - bring up ideas etc. But it feels like the more I express desire to do fun stuff together - the faster people pull away. I'm anxious that all the "extra" stuff - like me not wanting to support the band anymore - and me being super happy is something they are all starting to be annoyed with.

I'm seething right now, so I truly apologize if I come off as terrible and if this is jumbled. I (F21) am an introvert and I do not trust a lot of my extended family. I don't trust easily, and I am only comfortable around like 6 people. Back in November, my grandmother's husband passed away. My grandma made a deal with me and my mom that every Sunday, she would have me and my mom over for lunch or dinner. Strictly nobody else. Me and my mom never told anyone about this because it was supposed to be in secret. Here's where my aunt comes into the picture. Someone from her side of the family drove by my grandmas house and saw that we were over there. They told my Aunt about it and she made a big deal over it. We don't want her over because she always makes everything so miserable. All she ever does is talk about how I need to make more money and how my mom should have quit her job and send unwanted job applications. My mom has told her COUNTLESS times that she is not interested. Recently, my mom also had a stroke and is NOT ABLE to work, but no. This dumb bitch won't get the hint that my mom can't work. She also hates my grandma too, so I don't understand why she's always up everyone's butt trying to be invited to somewhere she isn't really wanted. Here's the kicker, my mom is defending it a little but and making me pretend to like my aunt. I am grown, but they make me go because I still live at home. I've been absolutely done with my aunt since I was old enough to see the BS that this woman does. She's rich and acts like they have the worst financial situation, she's told my grandmother that she's faking her severe nut allergy, and constantly puts me down for the way I do my makeup and how I dye my hair AND the way I dress. It's none of her concern what I do with my style. I've been so sick of her. Now I have to pretend to be nice to her. Dinners aren't even enjoyable anymore. Nobody wants to be around her including me.
Again I'm sorry if I come off as entitled or mean. I really don't want to come off that way. This has been going on for months and my grandma refuses to tell us beforehand. My aunt is a very hurtful person to most people she comes across.
Tl;dr: my aunt has to insert herself into meetups she isn't invited to and I am forced to deal with it.

Thanks!!

I (the father) give my 2 year old a bath most times and we have fun. I gave her a mohawk with her hair and she looked super cute and I snapped a pic of her smiling in the bath with her crazy hair. I rarely post on social media but posted on instagram (private profile). My wife was shocked I'd post a picture of her topless on social media showing her chest. Note this was of her belly up so nowhere close to her vagina and I also think it's not appropriate to post her lower half naked on social medial. She told me she was surprised I didnt realize it was common sense not to post her flat chested boobies on social media and said I should put little stars blocking her nipples (which I think exposes even more attention unnecessarily. Anyway.... am I totally in the wrong here. I said I wont post going forward but I dont really get it or agree with it. I'm also not posting this to the public I only have a couple hundred friends on a private instagram. Is this common knowledge?

Lifetime - Staked: 921.15u, Profit/Loss: +14.81u, ROI: 1.61%, Parlay Suggestions: 177-69 Dog of the Week: 13-18, Picks: 8-3 (73% accuracy)
2024 - Staked: 274.05u, Profit/Loss: -18.55u
As always, scroll down for UFC Louisville Breakdowns. The following is just a recap of last event’s results.
~UFC 302 (PREVIOUS CARD)~
Staked: 12.5u
Profit/Loss: +7.64u
ROI: 61%
Parlay Suggestions: 3-0
Dog of the week: Cesar Almeida ❌
Picks: 8-3
Underwhelming card, but as expected it was a pretty easy one to predict. The favourites were mostly consistent, and most of the expected methods of victory landed. Nice profit made for once, but I think I had some fantastic reads on the card in spots that I didn’t bet. I said I expected Poirier to be competitive, and that Islam ITD wasn’t the lock people said it was. Matthews Decision was one I wanted to bet. I warned people that Hafez or Morono were the most likely bed-shitters. Basically, I think last week’s post would have been very useful to read.
✅ 2u Sean Strickland + Over 1.5 Rounds (-130) (won +1.54u)
✅ 2u Sean Strickland in R4, 5 or by Decision (+175) (won +3.5u) (accidentally edited this to 1u on the previous post, which wasn’t the intention. It’s was originally listed as 2u, and was tracked as such on my BetMMA record).
✅ 2u Kevin Holland + Grant Dawson (+110) (won 2.2u)
❌ 2u Cesar Almeida (+125)
❌ 1u Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos (+150)
✅ 2u Ailin Perez + Over 1.5 Rounds (-120) (won +1.66u)
✅ 1u Makhachev, Strickland, Holland, J. Almeida (+224) (won +2.24u)
❌ 0.5u Morono, Matthews, Hafez, Perez (+401)

~UFC Louisville~
Good to see more touring cards, and a slight step up in calibre from the usual Apex shit. Not a lot of spots I am confident in, I have to be honest…but I see a few underdogs that I’m sprinkling on.

~Jared Cannonier v Nassourdine Imavov~
Not another Nassourdine Imavov five rounder! I’m a fan of his skillset, but I think his cardio is suspect across 25 minutes, which ultimately makes his fights tricky to predict in spots like this. He’s not exactly a potent finisher, and I can’t trust him to win rounds four and five…so I think his path to victory is therefore limited by principal. A Nassourdine Imavov in a main event relies heavily on him winning R1, 2 and 3.
On the other side, Jared Cannonier is a guy I’ve never truly given the respect he deserves. A split decision win over Sean Strickland in a 25-minute fight is certainly impressive, as is the absolute beating he put on Marvin Vettori straight after* (* I believe Vettori has declined massively and is washed, so I won’t be going crazy in overreacting to that). Cannonier is a hard hitter, but he’s also gotten really comfortable in upping his volume across five round too, landing 141 and 241 significant strikes in those two aforementioned bouts respectively. The quantity didn’t dip in rounds 4 and 5 either, which is key considering my comments on Imavov’s cardio.
So I give Cannonier an advantage in R4 and 5, but what about across the other three? Well, the power advantage also goes to him, but the diversity with grappling and submission attempts falls with the Frenchman. Cannonier has started mixing takedowns into his game a bit more, which does present an opportunity for Imavov’s nasty front chokes…but other than that I’m not really sure where else I give Imavov a clear advantage outside of age and height. He’s the bigger fighter, but Cannonier is a strong dude and has looked just fine against other Middleweights (no one of Imavov’s size, to be fair).
Jared is now 40 years old, which is a bit of a dreaded number, which I think is the reasoning for this line being the way it is. People seem keen to blindly fade that age, regardless of whether it’s presented itself on tape. I see what they’re getting at, but Cannonier has put in two of his best performances of his career in his last two…I am not convinced it’s as simple as fading a 40 year old here.
So with that aside, I see far more merit to Cannonier’s side than Imavov’s, so the +100/-125 betting line feels off to me. I understand that Nassourdine just put in convincing performances against Roman Dolidze and Chris Curtis, but personally I think both of those fighters are a cut below Jared Cannonier (and I bet Nassourdine in both spots there). Cannonier would have looked good there too.
However, we have seen Imavov challenged against some of Middleweight’s common names, such as Sean Strickland and Joaquin Buckley…whilst Cannonier has looked good everywhere except against Izzy and Whittaker (he did drop a couple of rounds to Kelvin Gastelum, but it’s hardly raises alarm bells to me as Kelvin’s a tough guy to beat across 25 minutes of kickboxing).
I would personally make Cannonier the favourite here, anywhere between -125 and -150, and I assume the dreaded age of 40 is the reason for the odds here. I ask you this…if Jared Cannonier was 35, would the line be different? I believe it would be, and age is relative in MMA. It’s something to take seriously, of course, but I don’t think Cannonier even looked like he had started to decline in his most recent fight against Vettori last year.
I’ll be backing the underdog here at +100 or better. The line looks to be moving in Imavov’s favour so I will be patient.
How I line this fight: Jared Cannonier -137 (58%), Nassourdine Imavov +137 (42%)
Bet or pass: 1u Jared Cannonier to Win (+100 or better)
Prop leans: None
Live Betting Leans: If Cannonier looks to have won any of R1, 2, or 3 but is still a bettable price going into the championship rounds, I think he should be favoured to win those so could be a good entry in-play.

~Dominick Reyes v Dustin Jacoby~
This one should be fun for the live audience, but it’s an incredibly volatile fight for the bettors.
Very obvious to see why that’s the case for Dom Reyes – he’s got heaps of potential on a good day, but his chin is dust at this point. Seriously, he got knocked out cold by the jab of Ryan Spann. In a striking based fight at 205lbs, that’s all you need to know to decide that putting money on him is an uncomfortable idea.
Dustin Jacoby on the other hand is not the most potent finisher at Light Heavyweight, which immediately makes me think that Dustin isn’t the kind of guy you’d want to play executioner when he’s the favourite against someone with a flaw like Reyes’ chin. You want someone you can trust to put dudes to sleep in one punch – I don’t think that’s Jacoby (having gone the distance in seven of his 11 fights in this second UFC stint, and winning via leg kicks in one of the stoppages). Also, he’s not even particularly reliable to win rounds either, given that he was supposed to be the more technical fighter compared to Alonzo Menifield, Khalil Rountree, Azamat Murzakanov, and Maxim Grishin – where he was a moderate/big favourite every time, and never covered the price.
I still expect Jacoby to probably be the superior fighter across 15 minutes, but his -225 price tag definitely implies that a finish is expected by the oddsmakers…and I just have a whole lot less confidence that he lands it. From there, I also have less confidence that he’ll be the one winning rounds, given how easily he’s fumbled that in the past…so I just don’t see how you can have around 70% confidence in him winning here. Honestly I don’t really think Jacoby can ever justify that kind of pricetag at a UFC level when we have seen him shit the bed so many times.
On the other hand, I couldn’t trust Dominick Reyes’ chin to survive a strong gust of wind, so there’s no way I’d want to play him either. A very easy pass. I’ll pick Jacoby to win though, but I’d never bet him at this number.
In terms of thinking about props, I might be interested in looking at the Over 1.5 Rounds here, given that I disagree with the oddsmaker’s believe in Jacoby’s finishing ability. That’s going to be a horrible bet to sit through, so I’d probably need a decent price like +150 or better. We’ll see what they’re offering, but I doubt it’s that good.
How I line this fight: Dominick Reyes +175 (36%), Dustin Jacoby -175 (64%)
Bet or pass: Over 1.5 Rounds (+150 or better…no idea if that’s anywhere near what we’ll get)
Prop leans: See above

~Julian Marquez v Zach Reese~
Julian Marquez is a really fun fighter to watch, I’m glad to see him back inside the cage. He’s never been the most talented, but he’s a C+ at everything and has A grade heart. To beat him, you need to be clinical or vastly superior in one area, or Marquez might surprise you and turn the fight into a war of attrition.
Zach Reese is a 6-1 fighter that lost his debut Cody Brundage (I actually bet Brundage there, haha). Talk about fumbling the bag. He just seems like a classic DWCS fighter, who scores quick finishes against taxi drivers and then is suddenly expected to be diverse and talented enough to take on an actual trained professional that’s been competing against a much higher level for years. The difference between the regionals and the UFC has always been vast, and DWCS proves that time and time again.
Zach Reese’s longest fight time is 4 minutes and 13 seconds. He has literally never been in a fight that’s hit the second round. Julian Marquez, on the other hand, has gone longer than that in five of his 6 UFC appearances to date – and his opponents have all competed in the organisation at least five times. I genuinely think that tells you all you need to know.
And the craziest part is that Zach Reese ain’t even an inexperienced young gun. Him fumbling the debut wasn’t like Tom Nolan, a 24 year old kid that believed his own hype and got sloppy in his debut. Reese is THIRTY YEARS OLD.
The gulf in experience is massive, and the difference in age isn’t. I know Julian Marquez’s UFC record isn’t pretty at all, but how well do you think Zach Reese would fare if he faced the same opponents at the time Marquez did? I reckon he’d be 0-6.
Maybe I’m crazy, but Julian Marquez deserves better than to be a + money underdog against a literal regional opponent. Reese has tall man’s defence, he got tagged in both fights in DWCS/UFC and they were on the feet about 20 seconds combined. Yes he’s clearly got a great submission game on bottom, but Marquez has never been submitted, is a BJJ purple belt and has trained at decent camps before. He’s currently at the MMA Lab and has been training with Cannonier for this one.
I’ll be rolling the dice on the more proven fighter at +100.
How I line this fight: Julian Marquez -150 (60%), Zach Reese +150 (40%)
Bet or pass: 1u Julian Marquez to Win (+100)
Prop leans: None
Live Betting Leans: R1 finishers often have bad cardio, so if we get to the stool then Marquez is definitely worth a bet to turn the tide.

~Brunno Ferreira v Dustin Stoltzfus~
I can’t figure Dustin Stoltzfus out. He’s always presented himself as a good but one-dimensional grappler, judging by performances against high level competition such as Rodolpho Vieira and Gerald Meerschaert…but the way he showed up against Punahele Soriano made him look like a completely different guy. He was supposed to be easily outgunned on the feet there, but he looked seasoned and composed in the striking, and ultimately ended up getting a finish that I think very few people saw coming.
Brunno Ferreira is a super explosive Brazilian powerhouse that hasn’t gone past the halfway point in a fight yet. He throws heat and has that madman style, but his fights are so short I’ve no idea if he actually has any redeeming qualities from a technical or minute-winning perspective. As you probably know by now, my least favourite fighting style is ‘big strike go brrrr’. Ferreira has also had some bizarre results himself, pulling off a huge upset against Gregory Rodrigues, and then getting starched by Nursulton Ruziboev.
The only thing I know about Brunno is that he’ll go to war with an opponent that wants to meet him in the middle…I’ve no idea if Dustin Stoltzfus really wants to do that. He handled himself really well against a similar kind of style in Puna Soriano…but he’s also the same guy that got womped in under 20 seconds by Abus Magomedov.
To conclude, I think I could easily see Brunno Ferreira scoring an easy KO inside a couple of minutes, but I could also see this one looking way more competitive and close than the betting line suggests if Stoltzfus makes it to the stool. Lots of different possibilities, not a lot of confidence in any one outcome.
Brunno Ferreira kind of presents similar red flags to Zach Reese in the last breakdown. The difference between the two, and the reason I am fading Reese and not Brunno, is that I have confidence and knowledge that Marquez can handle that early chaos. I can’t say the same about Stoltzfus, so I won’t be taking a stab on him. Personally I think he’s absolutely the value side though, so if you’re someone who wants to bet every fight then absolutely take him.
I will also be picking him to win, but not because I think he does so 51% or more of the time…just because Ferreira is only known to have a limited path to victory that could easily fall apart.
How I line this fight: Such a volatile fight, I have no idea.
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None

~Punahele Soriano v Miguel Baeza~
Speak of the devil!
Punahele Soriano is so, so overrated. I have no idea how he’s even still in the UFC, or how he even got there in the first place. He was hyped up by Dana and the promo team as this scary and lethal striker….but then he pussy’d out and grappled his way to a decision win against Jamie Pickett on DWCS. Surprisingly they rewarded him with a contract (but didn’t want Brendan Loughnane!). Since then, lethal KO artist Puna has scored just three knockouts…but in the four fights he hasn’t, he’s looked like absolute shit. Getting schooled on the feet by Dustin Stoltzfus and Brendan Allen is a really bad look when you’re being advertised as a striker…and losing a decision to Nick Maximov isn’t a good look either!
To their credit, this fight against Miguel Baeza is a genius pairing by the UFC matchmakers though, because Baeza’s career has kind of panned out the same as Soriano’s. A hard hitting DWCS graduate, Baeza got off to a decent start with three consecutive finishes, most notably against Matt Brown. He stepped up the level of competition to face Santiago Ponzinibbio, which resulted in a life and death decision that he narrowly lost. Unfortunately, the losses snowballed dramatically as he was later KO’d by Khaos Williams and Andre Fialho. The latter result the most shocking, given that Fialho is dogshit. Baeza has since taken two years off…and everyone forgot he existed.
Apologies for taking two massive paragraphs to give you both men’s life stories, but it really does paint the picture of this fight from a betting perspective. Both men are overhyped KO artists - with one lacking in durability, and the other lacking in brain cells.
Puna is probably more likely to walk away with the KO win due to Baeza’s declining durability, but he’s also the more likely to get out-struck and styled on if this one turns into a longer distanced fight. Who wins that kind of fight? I have absolutely no idea. I’m just glad that one guy gets to stick around after this fight is over, because I’d be keen to fade both guys in the future.
I have little confidence so it counts for nothing, but I’ll pick Baeza simply because I like to fade finish-reliant fighters, and Miguel seems to be the more technical. His leg kick should work nicely here.
How I line this fight: Punahele Soriano +125 (45%), Miguel Baeza -125 (55%)

~Raul Rosas Jr. vs Ricky Turcios~
I’ve copy/pasted my breakdown for this fight from the UFC Mexico event, and made some updated changes:
I’m still pretty gassed about hitting the fade on Raul Rosas Jr with Christian Rodriguez – definitely one of my favourite bets of 2023. I saw an untested 18 year old that was the beneficiary the UFC hype machine, and a then unknown opponent who had proven tricky to beat with the style Rosas Jr has. I saw it as a pick’em, and Rodriguez was +200. Easy bet to make.
In that fight, Rosas Jr kind of cardio-dumped and gave up once it was obvious that early finish wasn’t going to present itself, and that’s certainly a concern until we see him fight competently for 15 minutes at this level. I can think of countless UFC hype trains that hid their shocking minute winning ability behind dominant and exciting R1 finishes (Edmen Shahbazyan was my initial example, but since writing this Joe Pyfer has given another great recent example), and I therefore simply cannot trust Raul Rosas at this stage in his career when he’s still going to be sitting at -250 on the betting line due to his popularity.
Is Ricky Turcios worth the gamble as an underdog? I don’t really think so. He has been taken down seven and six times in two different UFC fights, has losses to Aimann Zahabi and Boston Salmon, and his wins were against Kevin Natividad and Brady Hiestand…which were both splits. The UFC are clearly treating this as a lay-up fight for Rosas Jr, but without feeding him a promotional newcomer or a fellow inexperienced guy. I don’t mean lay-up as if it’s a squash match, but it’s assumed that he SHOULD win here, instead of them throwing him to the wolves or making him go up against a fellow serious prospect.
Stylistically this one all revolves around the cardio for me, because I don’t think Turcios has what it takes to win this fight off the merit of his own skillset. He needs Rosas Jr. to gas out first, if he’s going to have any hope of having his way here. We have no way of knowing whether or not Rosas will gas, as it could have just been a one off and he’s so young that he could make the improvements quickly.
Personally, I’d be willing to give Rosas Jr the benefit of the doubt. The Rodriguez loss really should have opened his eyes, and it’s often the best thing for a young prospect to get that wake up call sometimes, as he was probably starting to believe his own hype. If the cardio is fixable, I assume he’s done all he can to fix it. He therefore deserves to be the favourite, but I won’t be betting on it.
How I line this fight: Raul Rosas Jr -200 (67%), Ricky Turcios +200 (33%)
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: I was originally going to bet the Over 2.5 rounds, but I’ll pass on that now.

~Eduarda Moura v Denise Gomes~
Eduarda Moura’s UFC debut did not impress me at all. I didn’t bother researching her regional footage, and from what I saw in that debut she’s a size/weight bully that isn’t even that amazing at what she does. Yes she outgrappled and mauled that Mexican woman, but the size difference was comical and she couldn’t have found an easier opponent to beat if she tried.
I had one of my best bets of 2023 on Denise Gomes’ last fight against Angela Hill (big up Angie for winning a couple of weeks ago, she’s such a money train for me), opting to fade the scary finishing ability of a WMMA fighter for a more technical and historically durable veteran on the return. Not only did Angie school her, she even managed to mix in some grappling to make the win even more stylish. That gets the alarm bells ringing here, as Moura’s MO is definitely to grapple, and Angie’s no grappler.
I don’t have a strong opinion on this one, because both women give me very strong fraud vibes. I think Moura is absolutely going to be one to fade in the future, and Gomes has already been faded in the past. Personally I don’t think the equally limited Denise Gomes is the woman to give Moura her first L, because stylistically this looks like a tricky fight for her. Fingers crossed Moura wins and the fade opportunity is live next time. It’s an easy pass for me.
How I line this fight: No idea, they’re both frauds

~Puja Tomar v Rayanne Amanda (dos Santos)~
Some people believe in the narrative that you should try and fade Indian fighters. That worked pretty well last time Jeka Sarragih fought!
I bet on Rayanne dos Santos in her UFC debut, and she lost a split to an inexperienced opponent with bad cardio. I was impressed with her striking in Invicta, but she struggled to do anything meaningful stuff in that UFC debut. By the looks of the early line I’m seeing, she’s about -180 here. Who the hell is going to bet that!?
I obviously know nothing about Puja, but her record shows she’s fought two serious opponents. You know I love WMMA more than anyone else, but I have absolutely no interest in doing tape for this one. Pass.

~Cody Stamann v Taylor Lapilus~
Very disappointed by the betting line here. When a fight like this gets announced, I immediately get excited because I think there’s a chance the books might get caught out and give a very bettable price on a fight that seems close on paper, but should be quite one-sided in reality, due to the stylistics.
Taylor Lapilus deserves to be -200 here, maybe even steeper. Reason being, he’s great where Stamann is average, but he’s also good where Stamann is good. The Frenchman is a slick striker that should certainly be expected to land the more eye-catching shots, when compared to Stamann’s T-Rex boxing. He will enjoy a 9-inch reach advantage, and should just be able to hit and not get hit. Stamann barely has any power either, so even if he does land a punch for every two he absorbs, I doubt it’s going to do much to convince the judges to credit him as the round winner.
Cody Stamann has veered away from his wrestling roots in recent fights, but you’d think it would serve him well here, given the reach and technical disadvantage he will find himself at. Whilst this would be true against another opponent, Taylor Lapilus has a very good anti-grappling game. His takedown defence is good, but even when he does get floored he works hard and effectively to get back to his feet, or at the very least nullify his opponent. His most recent fight was an exception to that as Farid Basharat made light work of him…but that was a very impressive performance that I don’t think many could replicate.
So in summary, I think Stamann is going to be shut out here, and I don’t think he’s going to really be able to find success anywhere in this fight. He will either stand at distance and clearly get outstruck by the fighter with the better footwork that will keep him at range…or he attempts to wrestle and likely has little luck at finding any real success. At the very least, the success he does have probably won’t be enough to erase the striking deficit he’s already accrued.
On a more narrative based note, Stamann also appears to have regressed a fair bit in recent years. He was once a gatekeeper to the top 15, drawing with the likes of Song Yadong and even winning a round against Merab…but since then losing decisions to 37-year-old Douglas Silva de Andrade and winning questionable decisions against Luan Lacerda. I’d say this is a tricky fight for Stamann in his prime, but Cody’s trending downwards too.
As I said in the opening paragraph, I’m disappointed that the books didn’t offer a better price on Lapilus, and I’m interested to see if money comes in on Cody still. Personally I’d be happy to bet Lapilus at -175 or better, but I’d need the line to improve slightly before I could play it. I might parlay him with someone on next week’s card once I get further down the line researching it.
How I line this fight: Cody Stamann +225 (31%), Taylor Lapilus -225 (69%)
Bet or pass: No bet, for now.

~Brad Katona v Jesse Butler~
The less time spent talking about this one, the better. Brad Katona is possibly the least intimidating MMA fighter to have ever graced the UFC, both in the way he fights, and his demeanour. The former is more important, because he can sometimes struggle to win rounds because he’s outgunned most of the time. He needs to put on a perfect defensive display to win striking fights, because if he gets wobbled he probably can’t get the round back.
Jesse Butler is a can with about as much of a right to be on the UFC’s roster as I do. He has no striking ability, as seen in his 23 second KO MASSACRE at the hands of 40-year-old Jim Miller (one of my favourite KOs of 2023 that one, definitely recommend if you didn’t see it!). That lack of striking ability, both offensively and defensively, means that he is very unlikely to get the better of a good point fighter like Brad Katona. But everyone has a puncher’s chance.
Katona is nearly -600 here. Mostly justified, but also eye-wateringly steep at the exact same time when you consider Katona’s path to victory is almost exclusively by decision! Pass.
How I line this fight: Brad Katona -400 (80%), Jesse Butler +400 (20%)
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: Me to fall asleep watching this one (+200 or better)

~Ludovit Klein v Thiago Moises~
Two guys I have historically had a very tricky time analysing. I was high on Klein when he made his debut, then I turned my back on him after the losses to Trizano and Landwehr – and since then he’s been pulling off upsets and continuing to prove he was worth the hype he entered the UFC with. The dude has some of the best high kicks I’ve ever seen from a fighter.
Thiago Moises has always been credentialed and talented, but he’s failed to deliver on the promises his abilities make on paper. Moises is capable of taking fighters down and submitting them early, but it’s genuinely taken nine UFC fights for him to actually go out there and do that. And then he did it twice in a row (against Giagos and Melq Costa).
So I think that does a good job of explaining why I am going to be non-committal and just leave this fight alone. Klein is great when he’s on form, but he’s shown himself to be capable of dropping the ball in fights he really should win. He’s proven himself to be a guy that you back as an underdog, but avoid as a favourite. He’s barely either here, but he does have a minus next to his name.
Moises is also too inconsistent to trust either. I think there’s a chance that this could be a winnable fight for him, as his grappling will definitely be superior if he can force things to the floor. That sounds like a great opportunity for a +100 fighter…but Moises definitely won’t look that number if he decides to stand and trade – and his 1.64 takedowns landed per 15 minutes statistic is enough to assume he won’t.
The oddsmakers are right in lining this one close, because both men have very legitimate paths to victory with only a few small factors landing in their favour. I’d argue that Klein is the rightful favourite (and therefore my pick) due to all fights starting standing and Moises’ track record…but this is a close one.
How I line this fight: Ludovit Klein -125 (55%), Thiago Moises +125 (45%)

~Charles Radtke v Carlos Prates~
If you’re a regular reader of my posts, you may know that historically I am someone who genuinely thinks Trevin Giles has some redeeming qualities. In fact, I claimed in his recent fight against Carlos Prates that the line was wide, and that Giles may be able to find a way to have some success. Having watched that fight back, I think I was justified to feel that way.
I liked what I saw from Prates on DWCS, with the way he mixed up volume, pressure and power…but ultimately that performance against Giles was a bit concerning. He definitely lost round one, and by the end of the fight he was outstruck almost two to one. Of course, he won via KO…but to expect a fighter to be bailed out by their raw power every time is a bit foolish.
Charles Radtke is ironically a fighter I’ve had nothing but bad things to say about. I slated his debut win against Mike Mathetha (the artist formally known as Blood Diamond), and tried to fade him when he faced Gilbert Urbina. Boy did he look great in that sophomore appearance, I was really impressed. His striking just seemed so tight, accurate and crisp, I couldn’t believe how easily he pieced up Urbina.
I’m obviously not super confident in my analysis here, simply due to the lack of tape we have on both guys…but I don’t really understand what we are supposed to have seen from Prates to justify a -200 pricetag? He was struggling against Giles, and had he not landed the precise punch that ended things…he could easily have lost that one! I get that he has a big size advantage…but Urbina was taller and Radtke approached the striking gameplan perfectly. He also has Belal Muhammad in his corner (or at least he did vs Urbina), who I rate as a pretty intelligent fighter.
This one feel like it could develop into a very competitive fight, and the finishing ability is strong on either side. Radtke has also shown a diverse game and an ability to mix in grappling when necessary, which could serve him well here. For those reasons, I’m happy to roll the dice on yet another underdog here, and back Charles Radtke for 1u at +150 or better. I’ll be waiting a little bit to see what the initial line movement does.
How I line this fight: Charles Radtke +100 (50%), Carlos Prates +100 (50%)
Bet or pass: 1u Charles Radtke to Win (+150 or better)
Prop leans: None

~Daniel Marcos v John Castaneda~
I’m quite high on Daniel Marcos. I just think he’s a really talented striker. I bet him heavily against Aoriqileng, and were it not for the unfortunate NC, I think that would have looked like a really smart bet (not the only time that’s even happened to me this year…thanks Piera Rodriguez). People still hate on him for potentially getting a robbery over Davey Grant…but Grant is a very tricky guy to look good against at the best of times. The likes of Jonathan Martinez, Adrian Yanez, and even Marlon Vera have all struggled to decisively beat Davey.
John Castaneda is certainly the more well-rounded martial artist here, as the way he’s mixed takedowns into his game has been really intelligent. He’s also shown much more dangerousness than Marcos, landing a knockdown in four of his six UFC performances, and even scoring a submission win over Miles Johns.
For as long as this one stays standing, I think it’s a close fight that’s hard to call. Whilst I give a slight minute winning edge to Marcos for his higher level of technicality to his striking, I think Castaneda’s power can be a great equaliser, as can his ability to mix in takedowns. I’ve not seen much of Marcos’ anti-grappling to believe he can fend off a takedown threat if Castaneda wants to force things there.
So yeah, a non-committal breakdown but I think this is a close fight to call. There certainly isn’t any betting value to a fight this close anyway. I’ll pick Castaneda and give him the slight edge on the betting line for his diversity and finishing upside.
How I line this fight: John Castaneda -125 (55%), Daniel Marcos +125 (45%)

Prop leans: None

~Andrea Lee v Montana De La Rosa~
It’s always tricky to navigate the fade when you see a fighter with a glaring deficiency that keeps taking losses. Andrea Lee is on a sharp downwards slope – she’s 35 years old, she cannot stop takedowns, and she’s got a 3-7 record in decisions in the UFC. Those are some pretty damning facts, but what’s worse is that Lee’s decline is really showing in her performances. I confidently bet Miranda Maverick against her at near pick’em due to her grappling superiority, but I was very surprised to see Maverick actually clearly outrstriking Lee across 15 minutes. That was a terrible look because Maverick’s striking really has never looked good. That should not have happened.
The reason I began by saying that it’s difficult fading a fighter in Lee’s position, is because there comes a time where the calibre of opponent clearly takes a downwards step. I’ve always been a big believer in Miranda Maverick, and I believe she’s top 10 in the division, so trusting her to feast on Andrea Lee’s carcass was easy. This time however, we’re being asked to trust Montana De La Rosa, a clearly inferior fighter, to do the same. Historically, Lee is certainly a cut above her, and Lee’s 30-27 victory over MDLR in 2019 demonstrated that perfectly.
Montana’s not bad bad, she’s just lacking in physicality to really be able to get her game going. She’s definitely a grappler, but a 31% takedown accuracy and poor top control means that she struggles to really find openings to do her best work...so she just kind of survives in fights if she can’t grapple you. Just looking through her UFC fights and it’s so obvious where her calibre lies…none of the girls she’s beaten apart from Ariane Lipski have been in the UFC for years, and even some of the names she’s beaten aren’t super elite either. And back when she fought Lipski, the Brazilian had some of the worst anti-grappling we’d seen in WMMA.
So this is clearly one of those fights where my predictions and probabilities for the fight weigh more on how either woman loses, as opposed to how they win. Right off the bat, that’s an awful premise to be considering a bet, so I can easily tell you this is one to avoid…and I haven’t even looked at the betting line yet.
Yep, Andrea lee sits around -130. I expected exactly that, as it’s a coin-toss as to which woman is inferior, but history is worth something and Lee does have a win over her opponent here. I guess Andrea Lee is the pick because MDLR already landed five takedowns the first time and did fuck all with them, but I have little to no confidence here. I’m sure no one is even reading this far into the breakdown because no one even cares about WMMA like I do. It’s a pass. I'll keep an eye out for Lee by Decision, assuming it's around the +200 mark.
How I line this fight: Andrea Lee -150 (60%), Montana De La Rosa +150 (40%)
