Me trying to keep up with my online life…

Things aren’t what they used to be, but I’ll take what I can get. Sometimes things happen because there’s greater forces at work. How long will this old soldier last in the war he’s been fighting his whole life?

I’ve been quiet lately…

A lot has been going on and the big (world) picture has been affecting my small (world) picture.

That’s when I pull back, to preserve myself and my goals in life.

Stay safe out there ♥️+⭐️

Happy Valentine’s Day

Update: I saw my two favourite people in the last twenty four hours 🥰

#HappyNewYear2026

It’s gonna be a rocky holidays for me. It’s not all bad, I am managing to get into a somewhat festive mood.
However… I dunno… It’s a lot to get into…
Some of this was gonna happen sooner or later and I knew I wouldn’t be able to hold it off forever.
~ Wish me luck 🎄

Who knew that practicing how to relax was a thing? Thankful that I don’t feel nearly as guilty about it as I used to. There’s always something that should/“needs to” get done. However, learning to enjoy a few quiet hours by yourself is just as important sometimes. (If not mindfulness training? 🤔)

<*sighs*> Really wish I didn’t feel so stressed out over “everything” 🙃

From the good things, to the things attempting to put sticks in my wheels of progress. My CPTSD is definitely giving me a run for my money lately.

Stay frosty, friends!

Meanwhile, this month look’s to be a slow one. That’s okay, I’ll take the break while I’ve got the chance. Who knows, maybe something will pop up 🤞

I choked… again! Fuck!
Tch, and on a song I was comfortable singing.

A song that meant something deeper to me, again…

If there’s one thing I’m plagued by, it’s choking on my performances… or exams… or basic tests…

I need training, or a way to figure this out by myself.

Wish me luck ♥️+⭐️

You were the best kitty I’ve ever known, my introduction to bengals and you helped heal my fear of cats. Thank you Spike, for having been in my life 💐🐾

I love you Spike, RiP my handsome man and may your journey across the Rainbow Bridge go smoothly. Your big sister Moxxie is waiting for you, tail wagging 🖤🌹🪦🌈

Here’s how much you need to make to comfortably afford rent in Ottawa A new report shows the increase in minimum wage in Ontario has done little to close the gap on housing affordability in the capital.

I have so many reasons to post this, don’t even know where to begin my rant — Needing (not wanting) more than one job to meet the bills isn’t living, it’s exploitation.

The wealth disparity is disgusting…

Still doing the hustle with my art in whatever shape or form it takes. Had you told me I’d be doing this back in 2022 before I restarted taking classes and I wouldn’t have believed you. Proud of myself 🥲

<*waves*>

I’m present, simply lurking, recalibrating, adapting… find the positive from crappy situations.

You know the drill 🙃

“You’re destined to go through the hard times alone.” (c) Me.

After years of being intimidated by the clutter in the spare room, I can finally say that someone could very well sleep in there on a roll out mattress with a sleeping bag now — FINALLY \o/ !!!

I am proud of myself for getting this far and convincing myself to keep going until the job is done 🥲

Happy (#Ottawa) Pride Everyone! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

At least I’m getting gigs in the performance arts, from acting to drag.

Could be video game streaming more, but I am writing, little bit every day.

I do count my blessings; without what I’ve got today, I wouldn’t be where I am.

When it rains, it pours — However! Storms don’t last forever, either.

Here’s to hoping these choppy waves subside before I run out of supplies altogether.

Sometimes when it rains, it pours, and this is one of those times… gonna take it in stride.
Here’s to (blindly) hoping better things await me over the horizon.

My Twitter is a dumpster fire right now, thanks to the notoriously toxic Apex Legends community and I was too naive to think I had found open-minded individuals who would at least give me a chance to defend myself before making outrageous claims.

I’ve had to come to terms with the fact that AI won’t go away, and it sucks. So… we gotta figure out a way to make it work -for- us and not against us.

You are seen, you are heard and you are valuable! We WILL figure it out !! 5/5

♥️+⭐️

Some people say, if you’re gonna criticize then offer up solutions. Well… I decided to offer up a few of my own, just in case.

To every struggling artist out there, I’ll openly admit that my main source of income -is- a monthly disability pension […] 4/5

Then there’s new categories, which can then create new jobs in the field, maybe even make it more accessible for those who might have disabilities.

Remember: AI is just another tool in the toolbox. It should never be the solution to everything; that never ends well… 3/5

Or — And hear me out… If your film/tv production value is above a certain bracket, you’re making enough money that you can realistically afford to pay for real human artistic creators. 2/5

I’m sitting here thinking of ways that could encourage human made art…
What about picture frames that are screens and can rotate between x number of photos rather than 1 per?

(And make it eco-friendly and/or recyclable/resuable.) 1/5

As an artist, where I stand on AI is that full disclosure -must- be mandatory when -any at form- hasn’t been created by a human. Ex: Organic foods; easily identifiable and readily available. Similarly, we -can- put strong regulations/laws to both promote & protect human made art.
