Small hiatus from writing for a little bit. Decided to work on organizing things and actually working on my website, tying it into my workflow. I won't get too deep into it, but the goal is to have a strong sovereign setup, old internet style. Doing a lot of self-work atm too but I'm managing :3

The ADHD does not stop, and the rabbit hole only gets deeper XD The "I'm making a distro" bit is a bit, sure. But in all honesty, I feel like I'm putting in a lot of valuable effort here. We live in a digital world, and I prefer to own as much of my digital life as possible.
SporeOS is a very opinionated Mint-Flavoured Arch Linux, made entirely by and for myself!

Use cases: Web browsing and development, writing, and some gaming.

It's just a personal ISO, but I've been learning a fair amount of sysadmin stuff to make my life easier. To make sure it stays persistent across system breakages, I've started learning how to make a custom ISO so I don't have to keep manually tracking down guides and stuff to get my setup back to the way I like it to be.Now I'm just showing off aesthetics. Windows XP nostalgia with a modern flair!

And for those of you who actually care about my writing, I'm gonna make y'all ask for a sneak peek this time >:3

Took me nearly a week of cleaning out ( I DO NOT know why I let myself live like that for so long...), and I still need to rent a carpet shampoo vacuum thingy, but I can call it home now :3 I feel good enough about this room to share it now, at least.. 😷🫣🥳
A showcase of the cleanest bedroom I've seen in years. I've got a 5" futon mattress (frame pending) on the left corner, complete with sheet, pillows, and a stuffy - Tux the Penguin! In the center of the frame, there is a blanket being used as a privacy curtain, tucked aside so the cat has access to the window. Further along to the right is my humble computer setup, complete with a soon-to-be-switched Xfinity router. (Within days, I will be switching ISPs.) My couch has been reclaimed! (I moved that couch up and down two flights of stairs, and practically no-clipped it through impossible angles to get it out of my old apartment and then into this room.) My cat, Shadey, features on said couch, sleeping comfortably on the back rest. A Stitch dot-work art piece hangs on the wall, and a built-in shelving unit is still unorganized. "Lived-in?"

The floor is in a sorry state, but plans have been made to clean it properly!Showing off a bit here, I've got an economical use of the limited space, with cat essentials becoming part of a makeshift nightstand, featuring a lamp, candle, and a hardback copy of The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.A sneak peek at a closet, now empty of all items that I cannot definitively say belong to me. I have cleared the surface of the dresser of all junk, trash, and filth, and replaced it with an alter to Loki. I need to incorporate The Morrigan, Brighid, Flidais, Venus, and Calliope soon.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

Update Post rq: I'm thinking of updating my intro post. It's a few months out of date and I've internalized a lot of lessons on how a public figure conducts themselves. There's still a part of me that says I'm betraying my brand by doing it, but I feel more strongly that it needs an update.

She let go of the hilt, watching the frozen pommel shatter as it made contact with the stone. She tried willing it to melt, but it refused her. The elation of progress was instantly swallowed by the frustration that flared like a sudden blizzard within her. The hilt's subtle glow built until it was almost difficult to look at.

Elara stared curiously until it exploded, shattering outward. She shielded her eyes, but her arms were peppered with shards that cut deep, forcing a hissing wince from her. Elara curled onto her side, hugging her legs. Tears raced down her face, and she wiped at them furiously. Her breath was the first to go. It built from slow, deep breaths to rapid puffs within a moment. She covered her mouth with both hands, and screamed. It wasn't long before her lungs gave out.

Something in her broke.

She began to laugh. Not from mirth. Not from joy. She clawed at her temples, unable to stop the giggling from bursting from her mouth. Tears still fell down her face. Silver ichor shimmered as it oozed from the shards of ice embedded within her - the shards that she created. That refused to melt.

Almost on instinct, Elara reached out for her bond with Raven. The familiar hum was so faint it was nearly imperceptible. But the memory of her fight with Raven surfaced again, and the guilt crushed her. *What am I doing? Dependence on a child?!*  Her thoughts crowded her, suffocating her. The laughter died down, replaced by silent whimpers. Her entire body trembled, wracked with a pain it remembered and could not forgive.

Elara tried to gain control of her breathing again. She didn't open her eyes for what felt like a long time. She was in no condition to show herself to anyone. After a while, her mind felt clearer. It brought no elation. No relief. Just the feeling of a weight being lifted from her, as if she was given permission to find peace.

1) 400 words a day. It felt approachable even if I had to force it, and cracked years-long writer drought. 2) proof-read in a different format than you draft. Tricks your brain into viewing it as 'new' rather than supplying what it remembers. #writingA #writingcommunity

Lilith begins TEC with a very cold aura. It's jagged, sharp at the edges, like broken glass. It warms up and smooths out over time. Elara begins the series as a singular, lost note that has forgotten the symphony she was a part of. She learns that her own note can be its own song by the end.
