Booking a tattoo appointment is so exciting as long as you don’t look at your bank statement first

Big thank you to my partner, a couple of friends, and a v good therapist for getting me through 2024. I have no hope of making it to midnight tonight, but here’s hoping 2025 is less of a shit show 🤞🏻

Saw a man talking on the phone while using a urinal today. Junk in one hand, phone in the other. I don’t want to judge (out loud) but, what the actual fuck

Built-in cross-posting, if only I could get it to work

I've spent a few hours this evening trying to figure out how to have my posts here automatically post to Mastodon and Bluesky through the IndieConnector plugin. Mastodon was easy — it worked right away, though it did require a few tweaks to get it going exactly how I want. I have yet to push a single post through to Bluesky, though.

I keep running into a Undefined array key error …

My tolerance for sustained artistic effort is like, an hour or two, max.

Self portrait in progress

First block-in layer complete, sans eyes because my brush was too big and I got tired. I feel like I'm almost starting to get better at skin tones 😅

In the last 9 months I have managed to read… not even 3 whole books. I would like to beat my average (4) this year, so lately I’ve been making it a point to get a couple of chapters in every night before bed. I hate how I can just forget how much I enjoy reading.

Figured out why my RSS feed wasn't including any of the actual images from my blog. The fix requires completely changing how I handle images and manually going back and fixing all of my old posts. Yay! Web dev is so much fun, you guys!

Sometimes I worry that I won’t have anything to talk about in therapy, and then I have a day like today :)

Life Drawing

Two charcoal drawings of a man on a yellow-tinted sketchbook page

Went to a life drawing class for the first time in over a decade. I forgot how challenging it is to capture anything from a 2- or 3- minute pose, but it is so nice to spend 2 hours drawing and come away with pages and pages of work.
