<2022-01-27T17:19:24.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: I hope things work out for you in the coming future.
<2022-01-27T17:24:20.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: It really pissed me off when that happened
<2022-01-27T17:24:55.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: I’m trying not to fedpost about it but journalists deserve to be put in New Tuol Sleng
<2022-01-27T17:25:34.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: You’re a nice down to earth interesting guy, how could I not offer words of support
<2022-01-27T17:29:12.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: I’m planning on submitting stuff to the Peoples Samizdat
<2022-01-27T17:33:49.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: I’m glad to see you’ve come back too
<2022-01-27T20:36:47.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: Thanks for the heads up man
<2022-02-24T02:15:38.000Z> cranstonallard: Hey, friend. How are you? 
<2022-02-24T02:15:51.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: Doing well, how are you doing?
<2022-02-24T02:17:05.000Z> cranstonallard: I’m ok. Racing real quick to get my Peoples Samizdat story done. You submitting?
<2022-02-24T02:17:38.000Z> cranstonallard: Also, who was the mutual that served in Donbas?
<2022-02-24T02:18:04.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: Mine isn’t really a sci fi story in the way Myles intends. 
<2022-02-24T02:18:10.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: Tripp?
<2022-02-24T02:20:49.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: What’s your story about?
<2022-02-24T02:22:24.000Z> cranstonallard: Mine is about vaccine injured prisoners on a space substation who get conned into awakening a Lovecraftian monster by a government official.
<2022-02-24T02:22:49.000Z> cranstonallard: The hero basically sabotages everything to spite the regime 
<2022-02-24T02:23:02.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: Sounds pretty boss
<2022-02-24T02:23:37.000Z> cranstonallard: I hope so. I’m about 1,500 words in. 
<2022-02-24T02:23:46.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: Mine is essentially “Nightbreed but not zogged”
<2022-02-24T02:23:54.000Z> cranstonallard: Juggling so much at the moment. I would love to read your work
<2022-02-24T02:24:07.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: A mix of Yoshiaki Kawajiri and Abel Ferrara. 
<2022-02-24T02:24:28.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: Same, I’ve been meaning to edit it but by the time the works day is done my energy is spent
<2022-02-24T02:37:59.000Z> cranstonallard: I know that feeling so well
<2022-02-24T02:46:00.000Z> cranstonallard: I’m glad that you’re creating though. I hope you get published 
<2022-02-24T03:08:39.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: Thanks, I hope I do as well. I was gonna say the same but then I remember I bought your book on imperialism when you were away from poast.
<2022-02-24T04:00:00.000Z> cranstonallard: Damn. Did you enjoy it. I actually published another book last month 
<2022-02-24T04:06:12.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: It’s on my very long to read list but I do plan on reading it
<2022-02-24T04:35:20.000Z> cranstonallard: Excellent! No rush my friend 
<2022-02-24T04:38:10.000Z> cranstonallard: Just checking in to see that you’re ok
<2022-02-24T04:38:49.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: Thanks man
<2022-02-24T05:03:06.000Z> cranstonallard: No problem. Always happy to support you. I feel like I owe you for supporting me
<2022-02-24T05:13:28.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: We’re all brothers together in this struggle 
<2022-02-24T05:16:16.000Z> cranstonallard: Yes. I feel
<2022-02-24T05:16:37.000Z> cranstonallard: I feel pretty insignificant, but I am a brother nonetheless 
<2022-02-24T05:17:48.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: You’re a good person, and that’s pretty damned significant nowadays
<2022-02-24T05:26:25.000Z> cranstonallard: Thank you, brother. You need anything, let me know. 
<2022-08-23T00:05:04.000Z> cranstonallard: Hey my friend. Do you still write pulp?
<2022-08-23T00:05:29.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: I try to but due to work/emotional issues I’ve been busy
<2022-08-23T00:09:28.000Z> cranstonallard: Ok. Well, I’m one of the co-editors of a pulp magazine that is kind of blowing up. Would love to get your work out there
<2022-08-23T00:09:33.000Z> cranstonallard: Hope you’re well
<2022-08-23T00:10:24.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: Thanks man. I’m just worn out in general
<2022-08-23T00:11:29.000Z> cranstonallard: It’s not my place, but what’s causing it? 
<2022-08-23T00:11:39.000Z> cranstonallard: Overwork?
<2022-08-23T00:12:58.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: Constant paranoia, getting doxxed, getting vanned
<2022-08-23T00:14:58.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: And recently there’s been a lot of bullshit infighting. Tired of it
<2022-08-23T00:16:14.000Z> cranstonallard: Wait…what? You got doxxed? And what does vaned mean? 
<2022-08-23T00:16:36.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: Oh no I didn’t get doxxed
<2022-08-23T00:16:45.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: I meant the FEAR OF getting doxxed
<2022-08-23T00:17:15.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: Vanned means you get a free all expenses paid trip to Summer Camp Guantanamo 
<2022-08-23T00:17:51.000Z> cranstonallard: Got it. It’s not fun and never stops being an issue. Maybe take some time off of online life or just focus on non-political stuff for a while 
<2022-08-23T00:20:14.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: The issue is that I don’t have friends irl. So it’s either, paranoia back of my head, or crippling isolation
<2022-08-23T00:24:15.000Z> cranstonallard: That makes things rough. Is there a reason? Maybe there are ways you could meet people irl over shared interests? 
<2022-08-23T00:24:35.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: I’m sorry I haven’t caught up with writing. I know people have been looking forward to it
<2022-08-23T00:27:33.000Z> cranstonallard: Also, maybe meet a mutual in irl. I’ve done it 
<2022-08-23T00:28:02.000Z> RoyalJohnny242: I want to believe me but I’m wary of just giving out that info
<2022-08-23T00:35:36.000Z> cranstonallard: No. I’m just suggesting ideas. Trying to help. Maybe join a martial arts gym?
