<p>Hi, since I&#8217;m getting e-mails about my work that was used in the <a href="https://www.icze4r.org/apocalypse/isaac.caret.hoax.html">Isaac Caret HOAX</a>, I&#8217;ve decided to write this to provide quick information that I can link to on my Twitter.</p>



<p>First and foremost, I am busy pretty much 24/7 for the foreseeable future. Factor that in to the equation. Not to be rude, but unless you&#8217;re paying something more sustainable than a hundred dollars a day, I&#8217;m not going to be able to help you with your personal projects. I am not being mean: I&#8217;m just saying, my time is limited.</p>



<p>Outside of paid work, when it comes to unpaid, if you&#8217;re some sort of journalist or writer and you&#8217;re interested in some aspect of my work, this or <a href="https://www.margaretgel.com/books/">my books</a>, then send me an e-mail (icze4r @ gmail dot com) and I&#8217;ll see what I can do. This UFO / space alien shit is getting pretty crazy, and I <em>can</em> find the time to inform someone, if they&#8217;re willing to attribute me. <strong>Don&#8217;t contact me if you&#8217;re not willing to give me credit.</strong> Journalists, in the past, have asked to use my work without attribution, and some <em>have</em>. I&#8217;m not going to talk ethics at you, but, that&#8217;s a no-no. Do not contact me also if you&#8217;re going to pretend you&#8217;re not a journalist.</p>



<p>People occasionally send in fan mail. I read everything, which sounds like bullshit, but I do. I may or may not choose to respond. I will not respond if I think that the person trying to communicate with me is mentally impaired or underage. This comes with the territory, due to it both being the Internet, and me being an &#8216;Experiencer&#8217; (I <em>hate</em> that term). I did, in fact, get abducted by aliens. I do, in fact, realize what that used to sound like, and I also have very quickly realized that I am surrounded by people who are not mentally well. I would prefer to not communicate with people like that, for fear of making their mental illness(es) worse.</p>



<p>Thank you for understanding, and have a great day! c(◕ᴗ◕✿)</p>

<p>Hey.</p>



<p>So you&#8217;ve probably noticed a change in my personality.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s not, really.  This is what I used to be like.</p>



<p>After a quarter of a century of trying to be someone I&#8217;m not&#8212; after helping people, raising 5+ million for random assholes on the Internet, and being as giving and caring as I could be&#8212; it came to me, upon a midnight clear, that I would be alone at the end of this.</p>



<p>I surrounded myself with people who clung to me, selfishly, and they required far too much upkeep from me to keep <em>them</em> sane.  Energy vampires.  And they gave nothing, and they did nothing for me.  They didn&#8217;t even act as my friends: they were just&#8230; <em>there</em>.  Taking up my <em>energy.</em></p>



<p><em>And they kept sending me porn I didn&#8217;t wanna look at.</em></p>



<p>I started to get <em>sickened</em>. You tell them to <em>stop;</em> they only stop for a <em>little</em> while.</p>



<p>And then there were people who didn&#8217;t even really see me as being a <em>person</em>.  There was a white guy, who, once, when I was talking about how racist white people had abused me, he decided to stick up <em>for the white race</em>.</p>



<p>Oopsy-daisy. Once I see the <em>real</em> you, that&#8217;s <em>it</em>.</p>



<p>I&#8217;m not naming names, because I don&#8217;t want to hurt people&#8217;s feelings, or make them feel <em>scared</em>. I just want to tell you <em>why</em>.</p>



<p>Let me tell you the story of why this <em>happened</em>.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The night my Mom almost died</h2>



<p>When it comes to my family relations, you&#8217;ve heard the in&#8217;s and the out&#8217;s of them. My father beat me nearly to death when I was about 4 or 5.  My mother protected me.  But, we&#8217;ve had our back-and-forth&#8217;s, and I&#8217;ve had moments where I didn&#8217;t understand my mother, and she might not have understood <em>me</em>.</p>



<p>But then, she got cancer. Stage II, Multiple Myeloma. And my world began to <em>change</em>.</p>



<p>And then, after a Zometa treatment, she got sepsis. (The doctor says that Zometa couldn&#8217;t have caused it. Me, I&#8217;m the one who had to see her like that; I will forever tell her <em>never</em> to take Zometa <em>again</em>.)</p>



<p>In the middle of the night, not knowing who to talk to, not feeling any real connection between my other family members, I reached out to my online friends.  I started to say things to people.</p>



<p>And I said things to a few people in private, and, one of them just said something like, &#8220;yeah, RIP&#8221;.</p>



<p>I said, &#8216;my mother might have sepsis&#8217;</p>



<p>And they just went, &#8216;yeah, RIP.&#8217;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="540" height="250" src="https://www.icze4r.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/gotg2-dolly-zoom.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-542"/></figure>



<p>I&#8217;ve told my mother about what they said. And my mother, God bless her, gave all sorts of excuses: that my friend didn&#8217;t know what to say; that they lacked the appropriate amount of <em>tact</em>; and so on, and so <em>forth</em>.</p>



<p>But the reality was, my friends knew what to say.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="682" height="418" src="https://www.icze4r.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/lloyddboy.png" alt="" class="wp-image-535" srcset="https://www.icze4r.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/lloyddboy.png 682w, https://www.icze4r.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/lloyddboy-300x184.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px" /></figure>



<p>Comfort. Actual <em>comfort</em>.</p>



<p>Somebody who actually <em>gave a shit about me</em>.</p>



<p>I learned who my friends were, at that point.</p>



<p>In the middle of the night, when my mother&#8217;s lactic acid rose and she had to be super-hydrated in order to <em>survive</em>,</p>



<p>I suddenly realized that I didn&#8217;t actually like many people on here.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s the point of this?</h2>



<p>I&#8217;ve been shadowbanned on Twitter, and banned from ever being Verified, ever since I defended an acquaintance from a dude who was perving on her.  I&#8217;ve caused so much trouble online that it&#8217;s kind of funny.</p>



<p>I don&#8217;t&#8230; care anymore.  I can bypass every ban; get around every shadowban; penetrate the Heavens; and it doesn&#8217;t matter.</p>



<p>None of this matters.</p>



<p>When I thought that my mother was going to die, it put everything into perspective for me.</p>



<p>People on here tried to <em>control</em> me. They tried to fuck with my <em>brain</em>. They tried to make me think I was stupid; that I was <em>wrong</em>; that I was <em>narcissistic</em> (in actuality, I have such a problem giving a shit about myself that, only recently, did I even <em>try</em> to start taking care of <em>my own health</em>); and so on, and so <em>forth</em>.</p>



<p>Last year, in February, when the &#8216;Chinese balloon&#8217; was over that nuclear base, the world began to <em>change</em> for me. And I&#8217;ve accomplished things that I never <em>dreamed</em> could have even been <em>possible</em>.</p>



<p>I liked fucking around on the Internet. I was filled with a deep and horrific sense of <em>dread</em>, though, that I was <em>wasting my time</em>.</p>



<p>And I was.</p>



<p><em>And I was.</em></p>



<p>And so are all of <em>you</em>.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where I go from here</h2>



<p>I have something I have to do.</p>



<p>I have a <em>lot</em> of something&#8217;s that I have to <em>do</em>.</p>



<p>My mother&#8217;s <em>fine</em>. She&#8217;s going to live for a <em>long</em> time. I thank my real friends for donating to help her, and I am sorry that it had to come to this. I feel terrible that I even had to ask.</p>



<p>Now, though&#8230; I have a purpose. And I have things that I must do.</p>



<p>And I am falling away from this. I can feel it. I am drifting away from the Internet; and, one day, pretty soon? I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m going to be able to stomach it.</p>



<p>For it is a <em>silly</em> place. Filled with horrible e-celebs, fashioning themselves in the image of whatever they thought <em>I</em> was; trying to provoke the anger of idiots and morons, all towards effecting a future that truly does not <em>matter</em>.</p>



<p>I think my Fear of Missing Out died when Twitter became even more of a ghost town than it had been <em>before</em>. I don&#8217;t feel like&#8230; saying anything on Twitter anymore, has any real <em>effect</em>.</p>



<p>I&#8217;ll keep it, to talk to my <em>friends</em>.</p>



<p>But I&#8217;m not going to pretend like I don&#8217;t think that everything is <em>over</em>. For it <em>truly</em> is.</p>



<p>In happier news, I&#8217;ve concoted a plan to have my mother retired in record time. So far, it&#8217;s going well. And, after that?</p>



<p>One day, you <em>will</em> see me on TV, giving that <em>speech</em>.</p>



<p>But this is it, Luigi.</p>



<p>The Internet&#8217;s dead, and its rotten corpse is filled with assholes. And there is no more fun here to be <em>had</em>.</p>



<p>It won&#8217;t even be fun to cause trouble after <em>First Contact</em>. Because, I mean&#8212; when I&#8217;m sitting in a Castle, fucking <em>tweeting</em> isn&#8217;t going to be on my <em>top 10</em>, or even <em>top 1000</em> of shit I&#8217;d want to <em>do</em>.</p>



<p>I bet <em>Twitter</em> won&#8217;t even fucking <em>survive</em> that <em>long</em>.</p>



<p>~See you Starside!<br>Margaret Gel (icze4r/TheBattleAngel)<br>May 14th, 1994 &#8212; September 22nd, 2024 (11,089 days on the Internet)<br>(That&#8217;s Internet tenure. I&#8217;m not dead. And I&#8217;ll be back, but, y&#8217;know.)</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Post-Script</h2>



<p>I want to point out something, because I&#8217;m going to write something a little more <em>involved</em> at some point, talking about all the good things I experienced <em>online</em>. (Super Junkoid was <em>really</em> cool! (◕ᴗ◕✿))</p>



<p>The Internet was only <em>good</em> when <em>both</em> my parents were <em>alive</em>. Because&#8212; I could have <em>fun</em>, and then tell them about my <em>exploits</em>. I wanted to be <em>entertaining</em>.</p>



<p>On that night, when I thought my mother was going to <em>die?</em></p>



<p>I have never felt so <em>alone</em>.</p>



<p>I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be using the Internet as much, when the day finally comes that she passes on. I don&#8217;t think my heart could bear it; this place has been soaked with so many memories of shit that my parents were doing, at the time, that I think, at that time, I&#8217;m going to have to <em>truly</em> leave it.</p>



<p>The <em>other</em> thing <em>was</em>, I wanted to use the Internet as a way to disseminate information about space aliens. About the people who raised me. And, the reality is, there is nothing left to do. You all know.</p>



<p>There&#8217;s nothing more I can do.</p>



<p>You&#8217;ll see them soon enough.</p>



<p>My mother might live 10 more years. 20; or <em>30</em>. But the <em>reality</em> is, she is <em>old</em> now. And I want to spend a lot of time with her; and I want to spend <em>no</em> time with people who only glommed onto me because they wanted comfort, selfishly.</p>



<p>I love my friends.</p>



<p>I have about five of them.</p>



<p>And that&#8217;s all.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">An Explanation</h2>



<p>After thinking about this for a while, I&#8217;ve come up with a better way to explain this.</p>



<p>After 11,089 days on the Internet&#8212; a little over <em><strong>30 years</strong></em>&#8212; and with my father already gone, I have realized that, as much as I was trying to figure out my own emotions, as much as I was <em>flailing</em>, there are important things that need to be done, <em>right now</em>, and I don&#8217;t want to go to the end of this and realize that I haven&#8217;t spent enough time with my <em>mom</em>.</p>



<p>I spent all the time I could with my dad, and even though it feels like I did all I could, I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t know. I had all the time in the world with my dad, and that&#8217;s all I <em>wanted</em>. But&#8230;</p>



<p>&#8230; this is the best way I can explain:</p>



<p><strong>At the end of this, I don&#8217;t want to come up for air after I see my mother die, and have someone in my DMs telling me, &#8216;yeah, RIP&#8217;.</strong></p>
