Deeply disappointed in how little of my mail is set to self-destruct

disappointed whenever I get a letter that says "important plan information." It's never for a heist or anything cool

Furthermore, do you know that painful feeling of not getting it the first time? Have you had that frustrating experience of not being excellent at the thing when you just get started?

That means you’re growing and getting better at doing the thing.

Grow. Get better. Do the thing.
facing down all this AI shit, I want to tell everyone you really can do any creative thing you set your heart on.

It just takes time and you aren't going to be good at it right away! You do not have to be "gifted"

I want to add that I started drawing in January this year and yes I was bad at it but people really are supportive (especially in the rise of AI) of real artists. So I kept with it, now I’m still not great at art but I think I’m noticeably better and my friends still support me. #art

aside I do not recommend trying out mixing for the first time live on the air😹
the first time I DJ'd hip-hop I was covering someone else's show in college. I decided to try to mix live on the air. It was SO bad these (really nice) guys that heard me came over to help out😹.

I kept at it! And got pretty dang good, started playing at shows, clubs, downtown

I’m at $30 out of $200 with $170 to go 😄💜
I have a $200 bill due for my gastroenterologist appointment. The appointment was 20 minutes and all she did was prescribe prescription strength Nexium and told me to get two procedures done elsewhere. I waited 9 months for this!

If you can help me with the $200 I’m JaimeKayA on capp & vnmo 💜

Always a credit card, never a black edged letter informing me that a long lost relative has left me their mansion, in all its faded glory, deep in the dark forest.

there are many valid criticisms of bluesky, but I love that people actually engage with each other here. It's fun and feels like community in a way that other sites have lost (or really, purposely destroyed)

passed by the Dog Stick Library again on my walk, it was really well stocked today 📚

also also, wild that during the vaporwave days I made some 120 vapor-ish avatars for mutuals and followers. Some folks are still using them!

Ahhh that's so cool!

And while I'm thinking of faves, I keep kicking myself that I had a chance to buy a vinyl of 슈퍼마켓Yes! We’re Open by 식료품groceries and I hesitated. :(

Ahhh love this! Also through vaporwave I got heavily into Mallsoft with albums like Palm Mall, for the same reason, giving an experience for nostalgia that didn't really exist.
