Packing for @cackalackycon.bsky.social! Always super last minute for me. Bringing too many stickers, actually bringing some tools for once... Still going to need to swing by Costco and/or a big box store for crap like power strips 😅. Come say hi!

Gatekeeping is a sign of deep insecurities.

Be as excited that someone wants to learn something as you were excited when you yourself figured it out!
if you know a lot of stuff i think it is your moral duty to be kind and excited when people learn stuff for the first time. the world is full of stuff we don't know about, don't be mean

I've set some fun goals for 2025, but the ones that I'm most excited for are my fitness goals. I've developed some bad habits that I want to get rid of and just general body image issues.

I've been working on my diet for a while, and am down nearly 40 lbs since August.

I'm stoked on my 2024 reading challenge. I've actually read closer to 65, but those were re-reads, so I guess they wouldn't count lol.

Shooting for at least 10 more books this year.

Flights and room booked for Vegas. Have a number of work events to attend, but will be free for a decent amount of time if anyone wants to connect for food, drinks, chats, fun!
