They/he, bisexual, anarcho-communist. Japanese-American. 26. I think I'll write whatever I want here, honestly. Thoughts on paganism, politics, LGBT intra...
I'm trying to figure out how to implement dark mode and it's actually making me so frustrated I'm considering dropping the idea entirely. Or I could take some kind of CSS class. But one thing is easier than the other. Also I tried to do the thing cool kids do where they have a Github thing so they can code their website offline, but that was also too complicated. Might write about getting lightly…
Hi, it's been a while. I changed my primary notes app from OneNote to Obsidian -- it was a bit ago, but I think it was because Microsoft was trying to use OneNote contents for AI? Anyway, Obsidian definitely has a steep learning curve, but I'm enjoying it. I love looking at the network of links between my pages. Importing my OneNote files was, for the most part, pretty easy. Some images got messed…
I think my boss is covertly training me. Covertly because I've expressed lacking confidence and resistance to being a manager before. I've been handling it decently, I think, and would say yes if he brings it up. I don't know how to wrap presents and I'm perfectly content continuing to not know how to do that, though. Meanwhile on the art side of things, someone tried to pay me $25 per…
I recently went to a concert where I joined the mosh pit for the first time. It was incredible. I fell twice but both times strangers immediately got me back up. I get that punks tend to be leftists but it's nice to feel a sort of mutual aid physically. I cried when I left my best friend to take the train home. Even then, it was nice. My cat has taken a liking to a Cast Iron Plant I saved from the…
Two people got promoted at work recently, and I was inwardly kicking myself for not noticing these positions were up for grabs. After talking to one of them, I found out they are still part time and only make $1 more than I do. This would not at all be enough...and makes me feel a bit better that I didn't apply for it. I've been feeling the itch to organize lately, which is good, but this has only…
I have been thinking about getting statues for Thor, Odin, and Loki. I wish there were Loki statues I liked more. I really like the Eyrarland statuette for Thor, but it seems like reproductions of it are kind of hard to come by...Odin is at least easier to find a nice statue for. I bought Loki some prayer beads since he's been popping up a lot for me recently. I made some Japanese style hamburger…
Me and my boyfriend accidentally happened upon the local farmers' market today, which was really nice (even if we didn't get to look around). I would like to take a longer look at it soon. I finally repotted some of my houseplants - a pilea that was in a planter-within-a-planter situation (just not my favorite, visually), a ZZ plant that was starting to outgrow its original plastic planter, and a…
I've been reading American Psycho recently. I have a lot of thoughts on it. If you care about spoilers, proceed with caution! I go back and forth on whether or not I think the book is about (in addition to being a critique of American rich people shit and, potentially, capitalism as a whole) Bateman's struggle to accept his sexuality. I finally hit the first violent scene and was super startled…
It's been a while. Whoops! I just took our cat to the vet for her dental appointment. It's her first ever dental, so I'm anxious about the anesthesia. She is otherwise in good health, so I think she'll be fine. The forms are just intimidating. I've also been playing a lot of Hundred Line. My first real route is an 'interesting' one to say the least. I really like the characters. I've also been…
I am incredibly stressed out. We are trying to move out even though we do not make enough money to find a place of similar size. Our current rent is too expensive too. I work retail, minimum wage, 3 times a week. I really wish I had a better job -- better paying, or in some art field. It feels overwhelming. We did just come back from a very fun trip, though. I had great time, just got stressed…
