I've been desperate enough to seek job advice from my parents, who are two retired boomers. Here's some feedback my mom had:

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

Cool!

I've decided to throw this page back up on my website. Maybe I will prefer this format to a newsletter. I promise I will try my very best to be consistent with this and to update this with updates on my work! I am very inspired by Lily Ashton (mothcub)'s online diary, which is extremely cute and charming.

Hello from almost exactly one year since my last log.

coming to terms with the incontrivertible FACT that my productivity is at its peak when i am sitting on the couch under a blanket drawing on my iPad listening to "Grey," which is "50 Shades Of Grey" as told from the POV of Christian Grey. it is completely deranged and i can't stop sending audio selects to my friends. do i wish things were different? yes, but at the same time, no. do my friends wish things were different? for many, yes of course. (for others, we are hand-in-hand on the sinking ship.) how many group chats have muted me? at least two. should i stop? probably, but i have 13 more hours of content to get through.

I'm gonna get back into experimental comics. There's nothing better than experimental comics.

had a dream last night that i screened my film for my friends and everyone was confused by it and didn't like it. also trisha paytas was there, showing off a zine she made. my friends seemed to like her zine

my favorite part of animating is shutting down and restarting and uninstalling and reinstalling every adobe program on my desktop

Hello! This is a test.
