Hiya! Your friendly neighborhood corgi checking in on you again! Been a while since we've had one of these. Figured with the election and all, might as well, plus I don't have any work yet today so fuck it, check on my friends!

For the new folks, welcome! I do these from time to time just to give people a space to vent and unwind, or tell us abotu anything exciting you've got going on.

For my own part, band stuff is coming along nicely! Did a gig with a friends band last Friday that went well, our second show with a 2nd guitarist. Writing and recording, new tracks should be out by the spring. Also posted a video of the show here a few days ago. Beyond that, work has been....eh. Still looking for a full time thing, its been 14 months now. AI training has me on a few new projects, but the work is coming in slow. Had to split rent into 2 payments this month and I was able to get the first sent out, but still worried about settling up the rest next week.

Beyond that, not much else going on. One year with no booze this month, so fuck yeah for that.

Hope you're well, and remember you are loved stalin-heart

    Late to the party with this thread but whatever.

    A wide range of emotions this week but I think I'm back to feeling normal, if not motivated. The night of the election there were a lot of trans people who look up to me coming to me for consolation I couldn't give and questions I couldn't answer. I recognize that there wasn't really much I could have done to prevent this outcome but I still feel like I stood there and did nothing. I'm trying to network and see what kind of IRL organizing and activism I can do. I will say that the dissilusionment I have seen in my lib friends has been very good and I have been having conversations to nudge them towards more radical left thought.

    Beyond that my experiment with vegetarianism has reignited my love of cooking all over again, the weather has been really nice, and I'm in this era of my life where I have never felt so very myself.

    I hope you all have a beautiful day, be well <3
