Creative Projects
I still want to develop an art practice that brings in income, but I'm not sure how to go about it really with my current limitations.
I haven't touched my social media much, but I'm considering doing more to get more visibility. It's a bit difficult 'cause I've never really been the kind of person to make regular social media updates, even on a personal level. I'm also wondering if my work is enough to really inspire action from people on sight anyway...
Personal
Still searching for work, either a 'mundane' job or commission work.
Still battling ADHD for the ability to do the thing and make art and market my art and/or art 'skills.'
I keep coming back to toki pona, a small constructed language, and getting kinda excited about the idea of being 'fluent' in it. It has several visual alphabets that can be used for fun, and I like the idea of learning and incorporating it in things. I even was playing on an ARK:SA server pretending my character knew no 'Common' and used toki pona as a fill in. It's a mental strain that I can fall into resisting sometimes, but I wanna learn something not-English.
Pets
The Night Terror Colony passed away naturally near the beginning of the year. Since then, I've been exploring starting a DIY colony and treating it as a true tank.
There's been a lot of struggle getting them established for one reason or another, but I'm hoping that it'll actually take off now that I've realized some of my mistakes. 🤞
Now, I've got a '2.5 gallon' tank (it's more like 2 lol), set up with 45ppt of salt, around 8pH, an air pump, a heater at about 25.5°C, a houseplant grow light, and some non-porous decorations. No name for the colony yet, but if they survive to adulthood I'll think of names then.
My voids are happy and healthy as always. 🐈 Bug has even started sleeping with us more, and flopping next to us and purring.
Games
Currently obsessed with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, while on the side spending time playing some ARK: Survival Ascended and Path of Titans.
I still occasionally consider starting a twitch channel and streaming games and/or drawing, but uh... who would even watch me? 🙈
