The weather is warm, and the sakura are in bloom. It’s going to take time to recover from this year’s horrible winter, but I’m getting there. 🌸

This week’s theme is slow but steady. Everything will get done eventually. 🐢

I’m slowly clawing my way out of a horrible pit, but I’m starting to feel the sunlight on my face. Here’s to brighter days and warmer weather ahead. Eid Mubarak! 🌿

It’s been a rough two weeks. Due to current events, everything feels bleak and hopeless at the moment. Much love to everyone out there making art, despite everything. Despite everything. Despite everything!!

Not much to report this week. At the moment I’m doing my best to look at the news only in small increments, and only according to a schedule I set for myself. To help keep myself sane, I’m thinking of picking up Final Fantasy XVI, maybe?

ETA: Because I was paying attention to other world events yesterday, I missed the big Pokémon announcement, which is that there's an upcoming new game called Winds and Waves whose fire-type starter pokémon is a Pomeranian named Pombon, and oh!!!!!!!! I am so in love ❤️

The theme of this week was executive function disorder. I tried every trick in my ADHD arsenal to overcome it, but alas. The only thing that will fix me is the end of this horrible winter.

I don’t have much to report this week, just that I’m getting GRR Martin vibes from how long this winter has lasted. I’m tired all the time, and I’m currently at a place where I consider it a win if I can write literally one sentence a day on any given project. This is frustrating, but what can you do. Anyway here’s a photo of my dog sleeping:

Philadelphia city services completely ceased functioning during the snowstorm two weekends ago, so I spent most of my daylight free time this week shoveling snow and breaking up ice patches. I have nothing but love for my neighbors, but I kind of want to [redacted] City Hall at the moment. All this manual labor does make me feel like a lumberjack, though.

There's another thing I did this week that I don't want to hide under a cut, because maybe someone who sees this would like to do it too:

- I applied as a writer to The Reins of History: A Final Fantasy XII Zine, whose site on Carrd is (here) along with links to a very short application. Anyone who signs up can contribute to this zine in whatever way they wish, and the head mod is a longtime community organizer. I have a good feeling about this project!

I’m still suffering from the cold and ice, but the warmth I see on social media is heartening. It’s always so nice to watch people standing up for each other, supporting their communities, and putting art into the world. Despite everything!!

I am tired of cold and snow!! This winter has lasted for at least ten years, and I would very much like it to be spring soon. Unfortunately there’s going to be a major snowstorm hitting the East Coast this weekend, and even the urban heat island of Philadelphia is expected to get a foot of snow. Best of luck to everyone affected by the storm. Best of luck to us all, honestly.

ETA: If you need some warm green energy, I just archived my short "Trees in Video Games" minicomic on AO3 (here).

This week I drove back to Philly and returned to the warm embrace of my beloved sunlamp. I recently saw a post on Tumblr (or maybe Bluesky?) whose author was like, “Between my plants and my humidifier and my sunlamp, I realized that I’m becoming a lizard.” And honestly, no shame in that. I hope everyone reading this is staying warm and living their best and choicest terrarium life.

Not much to report this week. I’m a fan of Toronto, but the weather has been miserable. In retrospect, maybe I should have brought my sunlamp with me. That’s normal, right? In any case, I managed to do a successful academic conference, but I’m woefully behind on everything else.

I’m still taking it easy, but this week I did all my new year’s cleaning, which was cathartic. I also backed up my files on an external hard drive, and then I made a backup of the backup. This will not halt the inexorable creep of entropy, but it’s good for my peace of mind.

This week I’ve been indulging myself with books and video games. Life is good. ☕

Nothing much to report this week, just wrapping up a few projects. I’m slow, but I’ll get where I’m going eventually. 🐢

It's been a tough semester, but I managed to make it through. I’m looking forward to having a few weeks to do fuck-all while I take the space I need to tackle a few deadlines and then think about what I’m doing and where I’d like to go in the future.

Not much to report. I’m exhausted, but I’m doing my best.

If you’re reading this, I hope you’re doing okay. It’s been a year, but we’ll make it through.

Oh man. It’s been a week. I need a vacation.

I’m having a time of it, but I hope good things happen to everyone reading this. ☕
