I continue to exist. I deleted my tumblr at long last and may yet escape bluesky and re-escape reddit (I'm down to social media use being limited to three days a week). The past seven and a half months have been very full, with the highlights being that I am now a regular abortion clinic escort, I got my amateur radio license, and I'm training for a marathon. I've also taken up linocut, written a few fics, made a few cakes, seen the local salamanders migrate, successfully brewed and intoxicated myself on dandelion wine, semi-accidentally gone vegan, obtained a 3D printer, participated in a few parades and marches, experimented with natural dying, joined the local group that pulls invasive weeds in the park, and joined a few book clubs.

Also. Final Fantasy Tactics is apparently getting a remaster or something, and I feel about as one would expect.

(It unfortunately comes out 5 days before the previously mentioned marathon tho. X_X)

And off you go!

Man, you are an outgoing sort (way more than I am), doing all those outside-of-your-house activities. I definitely approve. :D

Thanks. I didn't used to be this way, but something mid-grad-school seems to have just flipped an extroversion switch in my brain. It's a lot of fun.

Wow. Maybe I should have gone to grad school? XD;

While I don't regret my experience on the whole, I feel it's standard post matriculation advice to recommend that nobody ever ever ever do that (It's very stressful. You come to hate words and thinking. You write the absolute worst book imaginable.)

Hmm, well, I don't think I could have stood any more 'schooling' in any case, ha ha

(I was a smart, but school-disliking student for many years (all of middle school, all of high school). "But she's so smart," some of my aunts and uncles might say, but they had no idea of the full story... :(). College was actually the first time I liked school again!
