Reached out to a tattoo artist I’ve gotten work from in the past about setting up an appointment, and he asked if this would be my “first tattoo” and if so he could “answer any questions I have.” Good sir, my dude, I’ve lost count of how many tattoos I have. Idk if I’m that forgettable but just take my money and draw the fucking Pokémon on my arm with your needle gun okay enough questions
‘Round here
Version 7? More like 700, given how many times I’ve redesigned a ”personal site” - still a few things to do though.
- Like count (webmentions via comments or something?)
- Art page
- Figure out bluesky/etc sharing
- Fix ^ and allow syndication without external auto post
- Art??

Okay tonight’s episode of Wheel of Time had me crying 5 minutes in and I basically wept the entire episode. I really hope I’m not the only book reader who had this experience. DAISE 👏🏻 FUCKING 👏🏻 CONGAR, ladies and gentlemen!!! and LOIAL!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I may need to take tomorrow off in mourning
Step 1: buy a gym membership. Step 2: panic because you don’t have any cute workout clothes
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 but I haven't the slightest clue where it's coming from. It only comes up when I try to post to Bluesky, and despite the error coming up, I'm still able to publish posts here and on Mastodon.
It's been maddening. I'm not smart enough to figure out where this error is coming from, and it feels like it surely must be something I'm doing wrong. I just can't even figure out where to start looking.
At least while I was working on this, I was able to take care of a few other updates and tweaks around the place. Feels nice to have everything up to date.
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 😅
