Hello there, internet sleuths, @ajhalili2006 from the future (2024-09-08) speaking here. While this one is from my Substack publication's later content, I still kept this in the Ghost publication archives here for posterity.
I know I am a bit of procrastinating writing the monthly status updates lately due to autistic burnout and school, among other things, but I'm working on it at the moment. So enjoy reading the back issues while ironing out the kinks post-import and expect more posts from the drafts backburner soon.
Peace out!
Quick content warnings before both my mom and dad call me on this: “Language!” (as BadBoyHalo usually screams when someone swears during a livestream), use of political satire from Honest Government Ads and (un)intended spoilers on Limited Life SMP and Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, along with use of personal golinks and Internet Archive Wayback Machine links. Also, unintentional discussions about politics which I should be done on .
Since the last status update, we’ll be doing this every two months, because of schoolwork and other IRL errands. I know I always being hit by a bus containing a combination of autistic burnout and daily stressors, so expect slow updates.
I know I’m late to the last day of #AutisticPrideMonth (my own alternative name for Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month, even it’s not yet June) because, well, life gets busy and getting hit by the burnout bus.
EDIT (2023-07-02 00:04): Rough edges were fixed after realizing what I have done. Also added the mandatory custom banner made via Canva.
For fanfic writers and fan artists, here’s your (cursed) prompt
What could go horribly wrong when we mix Red Life Scar in the Life Series with Z-ARC, I mean [HE SHALL NOT BE NAMED, BUT I LINKED HIS WIKI PAGE ANYWAY] in demonic form (jump to EP136 for context) after merging with all of his counterparts and the darkness (I mean his past life for those who don’t want to speed run this in the wiki) inside him forced to descend into madness? Or at least meet the two in the multiverse of madness we have here in the MCYT x Yu-Gi-Oh! Community? Drop by the comments section or via email if you do.
I’m trying to imagine it, but both my Autistic mind and body chose violence against my will to prevent getting hit hard by autistic burnout bus, so I let you, dear reader, to do the homework for me (though I’m not like a shitty fan work stealer milking your efforts and creativity harder than taxpayers’ money to literally militarizing everything like it’s the Philippines (obviously inserted satirical voice from Honest Gov’t Ads) and then mill it to Bing AI to generate even more pain and suffering while watching the Dream SMP fandom burns on [BBH SAYS LANGUAGE]ing fire like its Aussie bushfires in a very “cool and normal” summer season).
I probably overdosed on my Australian political satire medicine, do I? By the way, if you’re done, just tag my multifandom account over at birbsite or in the fediverse. Let’s go back to regular programming, shall we?
First things first: The introductory post for The Bloody Hell PH
After actually months of prep work (and other things), alongside writing this introductory post for The Bloody Hell PH on the Stack (also cross-posted to Medium because f**k Musk for choosing violence against readers and writers here, even the people of the fediverse). Let me explain things first for the uninitiated, especially for those who didn’t see the launch post from Facebook (this is the Philippines and deleting Facebook is hard).
For the starters, The Bloody Hell PH is a personal project for, you might obviously see this at least on the birbsite if you’re following @FromTheBSHQ (sometimes I use Filipino there), not only shitposting pleasure, but sometimes
The Awesome Neurodiversity list
(Proper intro post coming soon over at , although expect to be published before the next school year (Philippine Standard Time). You can visit the project's Linktree page to see the resources as I collected them across the internet or have a sneak peek here (draft link will be reset and replaced with the public version once finalized).)
I made it as part of a performance task in our Science class involving genetics and autism (that could cause to have a field day for some looking for a “cure to nuke out neurodivergence”), which you find my work at Coda for roasting and transparency. I’m working on updating the resources list behind the scenes, but I also accept suggestions and feedback from the community too.
What am I reading/watching right now
As part of the Autism (Awareness and) Acceptance Month, I shared a list of things to do as an ally to the community through the month of April and beyond (which as an Autistic person I also did some of them) on my personal Facebook account (and sometimes over at @FromTheBSHQ@facebook.com too), among other things from fellow Autistics and otherwise neurodivergent people. Same on the birbsite and fediverse, even joined some discussions giving my own insights and stuff.
On the intersectionalities of neurodivergence/disability to other identities and even on the topic of discrimination, I even spent some time understanding the murders of disabled people under the Holocaust and by extension the eugenics movement (coughs in Autism Speaks as usual).
Meanwhile, in the internet shitfuckery department, especially on Musk’s Twitter, there have been a lot of shitshows happened here. From labelling NPR and BBC as government-affiliated media (which make me say “excuse me, did Musk mean government-controlled media from conservatives’ perspective” mentally)…
…up to the part where he literally CHOSE VIOLENCE against not only Substack and fediverse users, but also other people using Twitter alternatives. I’ll never pay Blue nor do the Meta Verified dance (once it is available in PH) for whatever reason.
If you’re at Medium, please do have a visit at my Neurodiversity x Mental Health reading list for a wide range of articles covering neurodiversity, mental health and all its intersections I handpicked.
Notes in the wild
Since my Substack Notes introductory post (link below), I’ll start scouting around substack.com/notes for this trial run to not only find fellow writers but also dig deeper into things and even find new perspectives. If you have more on store, tag me in replies or in the fediverse.
Join me on Notes
Andrei Jiroh Halili • Apr 12, 2023
I just published my first note on Substack Notes, and would love for you to join me there! And if you’re following me over at the fediverse (@ajhalili2006@tilde.zone for those who asking), I’ll try to cross-post them manually for reach too. Here’s a (re)introductory post about myself (

- I will start with a fresh from oven (as of 2023-05-01) episode of A Special Place In Hell podcast on intellectuals going (to be) extinct. My answers to these questions without listening to the episode (yet) are “Possibly, depends on who’s asking, and IDK about Judy Blume”. (I also embed the YouTube video episode of it for convenience, although you should also subscribe them on your favorite podcast apps).
The Substack vs Ghost debate is probably still ongoing, but as more journalists start to build their own Stack and watch "everyone compete for eyeballs like some kind of very slow, pedantic Hunger Games" as from said in this note below, I think I'll expect getting things albeit crowded in the subscription platform side.
I might spot this specific feature on Substack Notes feed about publication specific tabs for their writers and paying subscribers, as noted by 's below.
Restacking with your own thoughts on restacked-with-notes threads is like Tumblr reblogs, but like Twitter, you need to dig deep into the threads to see the original post. In this restacking-with-notes thread, we’re talking about writer burnout here, specifically Hot Take Economy on 's restack.
On the side of red-tagging (technically arresting, dehumanizing and murdering if it’s the case) activists outside the Philippines (which probably considered as “cool and normal” since Duterte administration by majority of the Filipinos who more focused on worrying about day-to-day errands (no shame either, but it’s kinda depressing that we don’t f**king care)), although this is NOT technically red-tagging itself, there’s also a student getting in jail due to participating a peaceful protest of, you guess it, anti-trans policies in a school.
So that’s it!
There’s more than what’s in this issue of my personal status updates I could write so see you in June (or July if time slips). Again, thanks for you waiting for this this to published finally.
Have any comments on one of my blog posts? Start a new discussion on my public inbox by sending a plaintext-only email to ~ajhalili2006/public-inbox@lists.sr.ht (make sure to read the equities in sending email to a public mailing list) or contact me privately, and I will try to respond to you as much as possible.

March and April 2023 Status Update
A wild Z-ARC in the form of [SPOILERS] has appeared from the hellscapes to turn Scar into his chaotic self in Limited Life SMP.
