My biggest creative accomplishment of 2025 was publishing my second book: a collection of micropoetry compiled to read like one big fever dream. It started as a challenge with myself to see just how short a short story can be. The process was an absolute blast. 🩵

Driving Home After
Driving Home After is a collection of a woman's fragmented memories thoughtfully strung together in such a way that when read consecutively, they resemble a fever dream. The topics vacillate between s...

My favorite streamer is a woman over 70 who crochets. Her son helped set up her stream before he passed away, and now she does it all on her own. I think of her every time I want to chuck my laptop out a window over some small thing like trying to understand why my audio stutters in OBS.

Stumbled onto this cool streamer making gifts with his wife for children with various health conditions. He's brand new to streaming. Maybe give him a follow and some encouragement? 🩵

ISO: Pixel art backgrounds for Twitch streaming. I've spent all the time I can muster sorting AI slop on Etsy, and I don't know where else to look. 🥺

Honestly would take any recommendations for non-AI art. Pixel art is just the preference.

Hello Filmsky - Taking a little break from Letterboxd but still feel compelled to keep track of things I've watched and whether I'd watch them again. Since it's Friday, these are my last 4 (+1) watched:

You can only download 500 files at a time from iCloud, so if anyone needs me, I'll be crying quietly in a corner over the 25,000+ files that I'm very slowly moving.
Sharing for anyone who'd like to reduce their dependence on Apple products. Also sharing for me because I've already spent an obscene amount of time today trying to move my photos to an external hard drive only to realize there are still a bunch not backed up, and I'll need to remember this. 🙃
How to Transfer Photos from iCloud to External Drive
It is a good practice to periodically transfer photos from iCloud to External Drive, in order to free up iCloud Storage and have an additional backup.

We live in an age where exercising personal privacy and agency is seen as The Hard Way™ the same way living off the grid is seen as a path for nutters and paranoids.

The best thing about Laura Dern is watching her age gracefully why would someone take that away from her and us? That’s fucking rude and unforgivable

Been doing a lot of digital rummaging, and today I found photos of my first car. I called her "Stella." She only ran about 20% of the times I needed her. She did this fun thing where she'd turn off if I was stopped at a red light on a hill and roll backwards.

Pinterest has been a dumpster fire of AI slop + scams for a while. At least they're being clear about where they stand on the continued use of AI? (There's not bright side to this.)

What's worse is that AI is taking over on damn near every platform even when it isn't stated so clearly.
Pinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working"

So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images
