I have many diverse interests. I tell people that I collect hobbies for a hobby. I’ve been interested in just about everything under the sun, and then some.
And so I’m not going to tell you what I’m interested in. Instead, since it’s a shorter list, I’ll tell you what I’m *not* interested in…

Speaking of vinyl (see my last post), Netflix has seen fit to send me (and all my composer peeps) two ‘for your consideration’ vinyl singles for awards season - fun!

Started my morning with a deep dive into record lathes. Thank you @crashannburn.bsky.social
Toys like this are way cool, and I’ve seen and heard the occasional custom record from a time when this was more common.
Here’s a bit more in the pro-level side:

Oh I imagine - tho I’m struggling to let go of the thought of my ancient ancient hand-me-down ski pants - with stirrups. (Really, they were the pinnacle of ski fashion back then)
They are selling stirrup leggings again.
I repeat: THEY ARE SELLING STIRRUP LEGGINGS AGAIN.
File that under: things you never imagined would come back.

It was certainly a boon for my lyric prose - got lots done between the tears - more journaling and song lyrics output in one day than I’ve had this entire month! 📖 ✍️
Yesterday was a hard day for me - lots of tears (not uncommon, just much higher frequency) - and then I woke up very early in the AM to cramps (and not the need-to-get-up-right-now kind). Did I just experience a period? 👩 📅

This Trans Day of Remembrance, my heart hurts thinking of all the people we couldn't carry through to the other side of this moment in history.
Amidst all the fighting we've done for our community, amidst the unshakeable belief that we will win in the end, grief still takes hold.

If you love someone, tell them.
If you miss someone, reach out.
If you can spend time together, do it.
One day, you’ll wish you had more of those moments.

To everyone who transitions later in life, thank you.
You make the world feel possible.
You show that there’s still time, still hope, still room to grow into yourself, no matter when it happens.

It's so depressing how when talking about cis men (esp straight men), retaining masculinity always leads the conversation rather than personal taste.
If it isn't sports or irony flavored, cis men are shunted toward ugly grey, black, and blue clothes, decor, bedding, etc. It's so depressing.

does anyone remember the guy on here who used to be a very strong advocate for encouraging people to use alt text in their pictures, something that is wholly beneficial to everyone which artists especially should use for its utility? i can't remember the link to his page....
I really wish more kink artists would use alt text so I could repost their stuff

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.
