I like the idea that people have all of these curated feeds and topics that I talk about will just get sorted into those feeds, so I don't have to be consistent because ew.
It seems like this experience on Bluesky can great if you're the type of person who sees life coming from you and awful if you feel like life comes at you.
On the look out for some emergent direction for when that wave of freelancing knocks at my door. I'll be with the company I work for a while but planting early seeds for when it's time to try something new or some exciting prospect of an idea emerges.
Freelancing has been a big part of my life and career, most recently helping the personal growth industry. I prefer working with established businesses though due to too many weird issues and promises with start ups and "entrepreneurs"
Worked in many industries over my career but mostly notably worked in hollywood in the mid 2010s working market in campaigns for big hero 6, unbreakable kimmy schdmit, the theory of everything, and fifty shades of Grey.
I've been a designer for over 20 years and that's how I started in advertising. My dad owned his own agency so I used some skills there early on. I still design but not as much. Prefer a director stance there these days.
But I find myself enjoying more of a marketing technology, forsensics, and operations perspective on marketing. PR and Outreach are less exciting for me.
I make a living as a marketing specialist, which is fun because I do a bit of everything. Not much of a specialist. I write emails, support sales through trade shows and collateral, manage our CRM, and social media. It's a lot. I'm tired.
I'm comfortable with esoteric, I'm post-modern in that sense. I'll use tarot and astrology as a loose rorschach style directional guide. The Gene Keys have been immensely useful in the last 2 years to help with career direction and focus.
I'm an Enneagram 6, sexual subtype. Way more chill than I used to be. Still plenty of the anxiety, just not putting myself at risk so much anymore. Glad I learned a thing or two in my 40 years of life.
I probably won't follow if I get whiff of political extremism. I actually have a C-PTSD response to unfiltered emotional outbursts. Took me a long time to realize how that translated to online panic and how that impacts me too. So I unfolloeed like crazy. A win.
I've spent much of my life being atheist. I don't identify as that anymore. Moreso fit the zen Buddhist vibe but still find myself troubled by believe extremes and contradictions. Chaotic neutral in that sense.
I have no intentions for what I'm going to do on this app. Hoping to explore and discover new possibilities but I'll just start with thoughts and go from there. Happy to be here!
I played poker for a long time and lived off of it for a month or so many years ago. I enjoy the game but the trauma addictions side of me couldn't sustain it.
I'm a short man and an americanized Puerto Rican. I was born in Philly and lived there for 25 years. Proud Philly sports fan, mostly Phillies and yes the end of that season hurt. Baseball is my sport of choice, the others are fine.
I've been moreso pescatarian lately and have had issues with yeast extract, possibly an allergy, which is something that appears in most flavor enhancers. Cheese doesn't agree with me either and sugar isn't my friend. I also don't do caffeine or drink yet still overweight 😂
I do think about politics but more from an anthrolopolical lens than an ideological one. I try to think in larger time scales in general and I know all the modern panic is both temporary and timeless.
I've been following retro handheld a lot lately. It's just a fascinating trend and have an archive of games on my PC in hoping to port over to a handheld one day.
