Ugggg this has been a roller coaster I had a couple of really good weeks.
In fact last week everything worked out and i was able to do one more Spooky Empire show. I hosted and got to play a lead role with my old cast. it was wonderful.
Now for the downside. My tumor removal surgery was supposed to be within the next two weeks but due to scheduling conflicts the soonest they can do it is Dec 9th 2026. That date is at the outter edge of when id need more chemo if everything remained the same, well around 5 am i started having pain around the tumor site i had a couple flashes of pain over the past few days but attributed it to different things my lupus which has been flaring up or being sore from the show.
Now while i had a great show last week the energy expenditure wiped me out for a few days and ive been in pain since but mostly joint and headaches which are normal. i was advised though to let my oncologist know if i had any pain around the tumor knowing that this could indicate the tumor was growing again its been a few weeks since I ended chemo and rang the bell.
Well that may have been premature. I sent a message to my oncologist this morning and she's got me set for another chemo cycle over the next 3 weeks.
I was afraid this was going to happen and all because the 2 surgeons and the OR cant fit me in til next month. It feels so wrong that in 5 weeks time there isnt the 2 to 3 hours to get this done so i dont have to roll the dice on chemo.
Every cycle ive done had some complication or other. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly as I want to move on and get to healing and figuring out what my new normal is.
We could really use any help we can get right now. Sharing this helps too as do those good vibes and prayers. Much love to you all. Im still fighting and I'm not giving up.

For the conspiracy minded out there ill remind folks that the dems have 12 sentors over the age of 75 with 2 retiring the gop has 8 with 2 retiring. 3 of those dems live in states with red governors but skew older than the gop counterparts the dems are 51 to 49. And the VP is the tie breaker. Natural causes could flip the script at anytime. The dems would wise to factor this into any math they use even if they think they have some GOP cross overs who'll go along with impeachment or going after anyone politicaly. It's the narrowest of margins not a mandate no matter how bad the gop did this round. Not that the loss wasnt deserved $4 an $5 gas and $6 and $7 diesel and every thing downstream from that inflation, decline in tourism and recreation damn near demanded a change even if that change would double the pain thats not how the voting public works they vote against in US not for in many elections. The dems would proceed with caution if they want to have any hope at the presidency in 2 years when running against Trump wont be the rallying cry.
It's gonna be a bad day for the stock market tomorrow. I also expect the 1st impeachment proceedings to start in february. You'll also notice how the lefties who stated Trump would cancel the elections; start a war, or so how prevent people from voting enmass will never apologize. Im a political atheist I dont have a party but i do notice patterns and call out hypocrisy when i see it. When Trump bombed Iran i said it was going to drive up gas prices and keep Bidens inflation going in the wrong direction $4 a gallon gas and $6 diesel and everything down stream of that is what cost the GOP the mid term elections. Had gas and diesel been under $3 a gallon i think the results would be very different. The next 2 years are going to be endless impeachment trials and more communist infiltration. Im afraid they will also come after Elon and his companies which may keep us locked in to low earth orbit only operations hoping it buys time for blue origin to catch up. If it plays out this way the GOP can do well if they Run Tulsi in 2028 and really back her. Vance will be tied to Trumps failures more than his successes. We shall see.

Thoughts are with #Taiwan as #TyphoonChampi approaches. The storm is a monster and the Island is going to be changed forever. Lets hope for minimal loss of life and a quick recovery.
I also hope the CCP doesn't take advantage of the situation and make a natural disaster worse.
Am I the only one who saw what @elonmusk showed the world with the #Tesla stunt? It had little to do with the #TeslaRoadster and everything to do with #SpaceX and its advanced thrust control systems. The precision demonstrated is a game changer for orbital and docking mechanics.
Our future is cooler than most of you realize. Flying cars are coming they wont be the tesla roadster stunt craft but very real vtol craft will be comon enough in the next few years. They are being tested now in the Orlando area. Permits and regulations are going into place and one day like the ebikes and electric scooters they will just be an everyday thing.
#tesla stunts are a fun way to introduce the concept not the actual tech at play but it does show those who are paying attention judt how far certain tech has matured. If I wasnt broke and fighting cancer id be investigating everything into #spaceX and @tesla because these two companies are the 21st century juggernauts. 10 years from now you'll all wish you got in back 2026.
The world isnt as bad as so many think it is. Its just all the negative gets hyper magnifed. No writes a news story about a 51 year old son having a lovely afternoon chat with his Mother for no other reason than to just say hi. Or the couple who've been going through a rough patch just curling up on the couch together to snuggle. Or sitting down and having your pup come up and put his head in your lap. These little things that come and go with out a post get lost time and easily forgotten while some celebrity crisis or world event outside anyones control or just the asshole who cut you off in traff8c or the insurance company giving you the run around gets all the posts. This just a little reminder to mind the good things a bit more.

Dude this was so incredibly helpful and might be the most useful practical post anyone in the space has posted today. thank you. This was a 20+ all available bonuses roll all day long.
If you are just getting started with Ai, or would like to enhance your workflow, allow me to offer some efficiencies I have uncovered.
You can tell your AI to consider implementing any or all of these into your workflow. I'd love to hear your feedback!
Each method is followed by a prompt you can feed your machine (or copy and paste it all).
The following was written, mostly, by ChatGPT: Astra/High
‐----
1. Match AI models/depths to specific jobs: planning, building, and checking.
Use the right brain & brain depth (high, low, etc.) for the job - conserve compute and save time. Reserve expensive reasoning for difficult problems. A separate reviewer checks finished work against the original requirements and actual test results.
AI prompt:
Inspect the project instructions. Add a small task queue with a suggested model and reasoning effort per task. Separate building from independent review. Require test evidence before marking work complete. Reuse existing tools.
Tests required to catch deliberate mistakes
2. Passing tests can hide broken software.
Introduce a deliberate mistake in a disposable project copy and check whether the tests notice. A test capable of catching a known bug provides stronger evidence than a green checkmark alone.
AI prompt:
Run the existing tests. In a disposable copy, introduce one realistic bug. Confirm a relevant test fails for the intended reason. Improve weak tests using written requirements. Keep deliberate bugs out of the main project. Record the results.
3.Project memory surviving a fresh chat
Save project memory in files: completed work, decisions, test results, unfinished tasks, and the next action. A fresh AI chat can continue from a short handoff instead of rebuilding context from a long conversation.
AI prompt:
Create or update HANDOFF.md with the goal, current project version, completed work, evidence, remaining problems, and next task. Link detailed records instead of copying long logs. Add an instruction to read the handoff before continuing.
4. Publishing with automatic safeguards
Publishing becomes safer when a small program checks the finished files, catches suspicious deletions, detects competing changes, and verifies the uploaded result. A saved receipt connects every release to the exact work and test evidence.
AI prompt:
Inspect the publishing process. Add a dry-run check listing exact files, flagging sensitive files and large deletions, and stopping on competing changes. Verify published files and save a receipt. Test in a disposable repository. Follow existing approval rules.
5. Shared tools proven in real projects
Build a shared tool after a repeated need appears in real projects. Test the shared part in both projects, keep project-specific rules separate, and record the tested version. Useful reuse reduces work without forcing simultaneous upgrades.
AI prompt:
Find one repeated task across two real projects. Check existing tools first. Propose the smallest shared component and compare upkeep costs. Prove compatibility in both projects, record the tested version, and document independent upgrade and removal steps.
I just want to say thank you to our adult industry friends and family. More than any other group they've been the ones that have come through time and time again to help with our go fund me as i continue my cancer battle. My wife cams every day but we dont have the big house to shoot in any more and haven't been able to work with others in awhile but we haven't been forgotten about. We get checked in on and donations come in when we ask. This isnt true of the other groups ive been part of i did Rocky Horror for 30+ years all over the country and even over seas they helped in the very beginning but i was forgotten about pretty quickly except for a few lufe ling friends same with ren faire i did that for 30 years similar results in my professional life I did IT and have several high networth friends again a few helped early on and a couple have continued helping over the years but our Adult industry and sex worker friends and family have been our Rock. So many consume their art and products yet condem them and look down on them when they are the most loving and caring group of people out there. So many of them exude Love and want to put more love into the world and they are hated for it. Its such an injustice. I see each and every one of you and Love you all. Thank you for taking care of Us. I should note our story isnt uncommon either. The adult community is a lot smaller than people realize there are a lot of tourists and others but the ethical hard working professionals are solid and only seek to put love and pleasure out into the world. They cater to the trends so if you see something you dont luke understand its the demand creating it not the performers just throwing it out there. Ai will be taking away much of our industry we see the writing on the wall and are hoping people will still want human connections but even with that looming shadow we still take care of our own and i couldnt be more proud to belong in some small part to this group of amazing people.

This is our GoFundMe update if you’re following my third battle with cancer in the last 7+ years.
We had a few good days this month that wouldn’t have been possible without your help. On September 21st my wife and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary. We went to Kennedy Space Center for Orange County resident discount days and shared chicken tenders for dinner. A wonderful neighbor filled our gas tank, so the whole day cost about $75. In years past that might have been the tip on our dinner bill.
We’ve had to cut back so much just to keep going. Gas has been well over $4 a gallon and food has seemingly doubled. Now add cancer and subtract an income. Everything is falling on my wife’s shoulders, and she’s been going full steam. She twisted her neck the wrong way and couldn’t turn her head for days from the pain, yet she still worked. If we knew we’d be okay, I would have insisted she take a couple days off. You could see the pain on her face. Ibuprofen, Tylenol, ice, and heat barely helped, but she pushed through.
Then you feel guilty for spending $75 to celebrate a marriage of deep love, where a wife became a full time caregiver for seven years on top of being the sole income. She has a husband who can only love her, talk with her, play therapist, and be as gentle and understanding as I can, to show the tiniest bit of what she deserves.
To fight for your life, you need a life worth fighting for. Just surviving on a couch, making doctor appointments, doing infusions, managing symptoms, and watching your body deteriorate as the poison used to kill the cancer does its work before both kill you that’s not what one fights for. It’s the three or four good days a month when you have just enough for a day out, a cooked meal, or bread baking that fills the house with wonderful smells and briefly covers the faint medical scent of convalescence and a pharmacy’s worth of pills. It’s curling up with your wife to binge a couple of episodes, or this time watching versions of Jesus Christ Superstar and true crime YouTube. I get out of character fixations during chemo; last time it was Gordon Ramsay.
I’m going through this because I’m certain I’ll beat the physical disease, get some life back, and have good, even great and amazing days ahead. I have the most amazing wife, so full of love, light, and life. Even as tired as she is, her spark never goes out. It’s more than inspiring, and I’m so lucky and grateful for everything she does for us and for me. The only way I can contribute is to reach out here.
We are running up to the edge. I’ve had to choose between food and medication. We couldn’t afford my full dose of painkillers, so I’ve gone from comfortable to a good deal of pain each day.
This is our most challenging week of bills. Rent, car payment, health insurance, internet, loan, credit card, and the weekly food trip are all due by Friday. I’m trying to use grace periods and hoping income comes in on time. Our credit took a big hit over the summer, so I no longer qualify for the short term loans I used to rely on. If you can help, we could really use it this week especially.
Thank you for all the love and support. I wouldn’t be here without you. Much love from us. Here’s a pic from our anniversary it was the best day we’ve had in months and a powerful reminder that no matter how bad some days are, good ones are ahead, and some great and amazing days too.

Going through Cancer again sucks but i have a great support team. This is Gideon he does a lot of the heavy lifting.
#fuckcancer #servicedog
Damn Cancer came back #fuckcancer 3rd recurrance of Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 7 years. Im back in the fight again.
Net worth and cash on hand are two very different things. There is no such thing as a triilionaire hell i doubt any one person has over 1 billion or even 100 million in cash. It would make no sense to sit on that kind of money. Dont succumb to ignorant notions put forth by envious people.
Congratulations @elonmusk and everyone @SpaceX y'all built the greatest company of the 1st quarter of the 21st century.
SpaceX has done more to advance the human races future ability to not only communicate and transfer data anywhere on this planet but will soon push out into our inner solar system and beyond by paving the way for more ambitious goals.
I have little doubt the machines and people of the 22nd century who inhabit our Moon, Mars, Astroids and The moons of our Gas Giants will have SpaceX to thank for their foundations and that SpaceX will be an ongoing pioneering presence as we push further out.
The IPO will now allow more of us to own a part of that future success and it's all due to the hard work and dedication of those at SpaceX and the idea that humans need not be contained to just one planet. Thus ensuring that humans will one day be a Space faring people out among the stars.
I dream of that future, of what a post resource scarcity humanity might look like, a more ambitious humanity, a more curious humanity but it will take more than dreams to make that happen and SpaceX is leading the way.
So Thank You from one of Earths Dreamers and "future share holders". funny that SpaceX has even given that term new meaning.
