I like tech, art, jewelry making, and caring about things and people. and music.
What’s the right balance between things that matter and things that are pretty? I don’t fuckin know, you get what you get

i have me some vaguely Christmas earrings now :3
are they identical? no. are they as identical as i wanted them? also no. but they’re close enough given how organic my approach was and you won’t be able to tell once I’m wearing them.
photos of that tomorrow maybe, i’m ugly and tired today.

let my hair part itself where it wanted to today instead of trying to sweep it all across. this might just be how i let it style itself once it grows out some more? slightly less successful attempt at covering the remaining beard than Tuesday’s attempt.
today makes it officially 5 months on hrt!

are you still allowed to use derogatory terms like “bin chicken” after they’ve officially moved in next door?

also focusing on my task while also keeping my hands in frame while also having not had meds or coffee yet really slowed me down lol

since all my stuff is chainmail or wire wrapping i haven’t needed to dip into soldering etc yet, and i’m still coming up with cool new ideas just sticking within this toolkit and skillset. and finding ideas that seem really cool but need more refining like this ring.

here’s my main tools for the kinds of work i do. for like, chainmail stuff which is where i got started, 2 pairs of smooth snub nose pliers like the 2 at the top is all you need, i been using those ones since 2020. Xurons are good! Not the cheapest, far from most expensive, solid and reliable

Rashmi’s character development has been a joy. ( that journey held enough echoes of my own thoughts from a year ago that i was NOT ON BOARD at first but i can be wrong!!) (also; announcing a new name off the back of a party? Yep, me too)
And holy fuck Kathy finally is figuring shit out?
