    Game Ring

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am going to ring in the New Year playing PC video games. I have reactivated some PC games on Adventure Quest 3D (user Poedaughterz Blue Dragon server free on Steam games), Genshin Impact (user UID 683053596 Poedaughterz), Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2 (Poedaughterz on Steam), Pokemon Go (user ID 942584611615), Rec Room (@poedaughter7 free on Steam), and Tarisland (Eu-1 Poedaughterz free on Steam games) to chat with friends. If you know me online please add me to friends. My vehicle is not working well enough this month to drive to my favorite nearby towns in freezing rain. Downtown Virginia has no other thing to socialize with, but criminal human sewage I have fled in terror from years ago. Every Virginia dance club is a disgusting liar pit I NEVER want to see again in my nightmares. The great thing about online chat parties is the game provides hot looking battle clothes, music, hairstyles, and digital taverns for drinks, and you don’t have to spend a million dollars on Lyft and Uber when you have a mount in the game. Game parties are the obvious wave of the future.

  • Good Behavior

    Good Behavior

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am a teacher right now, and there are big debates on how to be a role model for behavior. Meanwhile when I was a kid people watched cartoon characters blowing each other up, and that was just a-okay. In real life no one is perfect.

  • Last Day

    Last Day

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am still working at Amazon, but about to go on leave. My other job called me two weeks ago needing me to work more hours so I put in notice. One of the rough things about being at a crazy job is they are all crazy jobs, and you just have to find what crazy works for you. At Amazon they drug test constantly so at least it leaves a long paper trail on me not being a party animal at all. I have never failed a drug test at any job, and this reference helps prove it. Ironically a huge set of news reports dropped on Amazon right as I was packing up.

  • New BlueSky Profile

    New BlueSky Profile

    By Andrea Menzies

    Bluesky is a new social media app people are using. My profile is here @Poedaughter7.bsky.social if you want to add me to friends. I am fully terrified of how many crazed right winged politicians keep showing up in news photos with social media owners these days. Also my email is getting packed with spam from all the social media that said it would “never” sell my information. I can see why people want to try something new. Old social media uses an algorithm to decide what we “want” to see, and it often picks very wrong. Somedays I think we should all just switch back to Myspace, Yahoo, and Livejournal for updates.

    Here is the NPR story on Bluesky:

    https://www.npr.org/2024/11/19/g-s1-34898/bluesky-traffic-surge-after-election

    The day after the presidential election, the social media landscape shook.

    On Elon Musk’s X, more than 115,000 users deactivated their accounts, the largest-ever mass exit from the platform. At the same time, traffic on Bluesky, a smaller rival to X, began to soar, with daily usage climbing some 500% in the U.S., according to data from Similarweb.

    “We’ve been growing by about a million users a day for several days,” said Bluesky CEO Jay Graber in an interview with NPR on Monday. “It’s proving out the model that we thought would be the right approach to social [media]: Give people the tools to control their experience and they’ll have a better time.” Putting more control in the hands of users is what distinguishes Bluesky from X, formerly Twitter, and other rival social media sites.

    Rather than having one “master algorithm,” Bluesky allows for a more personalized experience. By default, there are three main feeds: One shows accounts you follow, another shows what your friends follow and a “discover” feed surfaces posts linked to your interests.”

  • The Pain Hole

    The Pain Hole

    By Andrea Menzies

    A poem by Andrea Menzies

    From my new book of poems I am going to publish online called “Poems From The Pain Hole: A Collection Of Poems About An Abuse Toilet That Claims To Be A State.”

    1 All of Virginia is a nightmare hole of pain,

    2 the agony is not hard to explain.

    3 The second I leave it goes away,

    4 Agony is Virginia’s game to play.

    5 Ugly men and a pathetic music scene!

    6 Symptom of a land eating women’s dreams!

    7 I have not had one single happy memory in ya,

    8 Ugly-ugly sewage hole called Virginia.

    9 There is not one single good redeeming town

    10 when first here I looked desperately around.

    11 Now I know a future happy day

    12 will only happen with Virginia far away.

    13 Have not had one single happy memory in ya,

    14 Ugly-ugly sewage hole called Virginia.

  • First Pet

    First Pet

    By Andrea Menzies

    I will miss the first pet dogs most of all. Remember when the worst thing about the White House was the crazy shelter-adopted biting dogs? We will all miss those days soon. Meanwhile Trump is one of only three people elected that did not bring a pet to the White House as a fun fact. A real lesson in pet owners and empathy in people.

  • 2024 Promotion Day

    By Andrea Menzies

    I got promoted to the blue badge at Amazon night shift, and got a guarantee by HR my pay issues will clear up in a few weeks at my teaching job. At long last things are getting better!

  • 2024 Health Check

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am going to get all the healthcare checks I can get for the next couple of months. Evidently healthcare is going to go back to medieval practices for women soon due to politics. Blaming women for needing healthcare is like blaming turkeys for Thanksgiving. They should hide deeper in the woods, or they are asking for the shotgun!

    A great quote for a tough week.

  • AQ3D Halloween Vampire Battle

    By Andrea Menzies

    The best video game to play for Halloween is Adventure Quest 3D on Steam games. It is free to play, and has some hilarious vampire versus werewolf Halloween battles going on yearly.
