Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 13/07/2025New Lyra class session started and... oh, boy. Instant ripped calluses everywhere and bruised hip bones. 😅 It's already WAY better than the first time I attempted this specific class last summer (and Sling was AMAZING for working on spin tolerance) but damn, I need to work on my grip strength. 030

Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 28/06/2025Windup Minds wanting to have dev-related discussions in the public Discord, and post more behind-the-scenes videos, etc, there FREAKS ME TF OUT. But then I look at the game & player base (casual, cozy virtual pet w/ chill, respectful fans) and I think it will actually be okay. Way different vibes. 110
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 28/06/2025I'll be hyperfixating on work & my part time MSCS while ignoring the news for the next ~4 years, keeping hope alive that shit in general will improve with the next election cycle. Maybe I'm naive, but it helps keep me moving forward. 😬 100

Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 28/06/2025When I went to get my concealed carry permit, I found it very interesting that ALL of the other folks in line looked like non-conservatives. 110
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 25/06/2025"I'm gonna take a session off" [from circus/aerial] somehow turned into signing up for Lyra classes for the rest of the summer. 🤷😆 (Tbf though, I did just finally get back to full strength after a bit of a break and I want to keep this momentum going.]media.tenor.coma man in a pirate hat is talking to another man with the words " what could possibly go wrong " above himAlt: a man in a pirate hat is talking to another man with the words " what could possibly go wrong " above him 230

Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 21/06/2025My mom was always taking me to totally inappropriate movies in the early 80s. Jaws freaked me out to the point of not even wanting to put a toe in a swimming pool for years. 😆 110
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 21/06/2025I try to pick up new hobbies (sports, instruments, languages) regularly to force myself out of my comfort zone and (try to) learn how to be okay with sucking at stuff 😆 120
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 21/06/2025I’ve trained myself to immediately then think “no one cares” and this keeps me from posting anything overly pedantic about 87% of the time 😆 010
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 21/06/2025I love Devon Rexes so much. They have SO MUCH personality.  110
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Attended downtown Kirkland’s cute little Pride event today, and the performances were super fun. Highly skilled roller skaters, a handstand artist, and one super colorful performer singing “It’s raining THEM” (a non-binary twist on the old regular). ❤️ 060
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 14/06/2025I'm probably already on multiple registries (X gender on driver's license, diagnosed autistic) and am old, so I figure it's my job to be public about all the things. 🤷 000
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 14/06/2025I am FLOORED by the turnout in downtown Kirkland. I’m walking around with a trans flag, looking queer AF, and I feel pretty safe in this crowd. 151
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Way to represent, Kirkland! The staging line for the No Kings march is MILES long at this point. I am pleasantly surprised. 2964
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 14/06/2025I didn't always approve of everything this administration did, but dang, I miss having a president who actually gave a F and tried to conduct himself in a thoughtful, respectful manner. 150
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 13/06/2025Speaking of magical tanuki scrotums, I really need to see Pom Poko someday! 110
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Hahaha, NO. (And especially not if you bomb my mailbox with laminated postcards.) CHILL. 🤣 130
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 08/06/2025I loved the actors, but yeah, the whole premise was cringey AF. 000
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 08/06/2025I met a new friend in aerial class who was excited to hear about Catwalk Rebirth on the 19th. (I hope to see all of my old local Merc buds there! Might be a fun excuse for a visit for the out-of-towners…) 020
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 08/06/2025I always wander around the interior any time I go- have never actually seen anything there. Jealous! :) 010
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Ngl, anyone who still openly likes her stuff is vaguely scary to me [as a trans person]. Even if they don’t actively mean anything by it, it still makes me wary around them. 110
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Murderbot on Apple TV is my new favorite show since Resident Alien. Both main characters are so… relatable. 🤣 2180
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 31/05/2025I basically just try to normalize masking. I LOVE not having to force my autistic ass to emote- it reserves energy for more important things than social BS. If it’s only < $200, I will probably pay out of pocket for vaccinations. But that makes me FUME that health is only accessible for people w/$ 110
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Honestly, when you posted your intent, I was kinda like “gl” because I’ve been in that exact boat with my work insurance (even as a 47yo teacher with pre-existing conditions who comes into regular contact with a ton of young people with questionable hygiene). 210
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 30/05/2025… now I am seeing it used to tell when ND people are just annoyed. Monitor: ding Ding ding Ding ding ding ding ding ding!! 010
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 30/05/2025This would likely not work well on ND people who don’t [facially] emote much. Which is probably for the best! 🥵 010
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 30/05/2025I figure what I can imagine is probably roughly on par with what is accurate (and do not feel ANY need to verify 😂). 010
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 30/05/2025I accidentally said “backshot” in class when I was talking about being a stealth archer rogue in Oblivion and performing a backstab with a bow, and I’m pretty sure I do NOT want to look up the meaning online after the students erupted in giggles for almost a full 10 minutes. Getting old is “fun”. 😆media.tenor.coma man in a black sweater with the words slowly dying inside above himAlt: a man in a black sweater looking chagrined with the words “slowly dying inside” below him 350

Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 29/05/2025I just want the ability to define a custom preferred dictionary for all of my iOS devices. 😠 (And something similar for voice detection because their autocorrections are often hilariously awful.) 010
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Trying to get more into high impact activities at the age of 47 feels like a precarious Jenga game of "how many body parts can be in a vaguely pre-injurous state before something goes REALLY awry". 😬 Been dealing with some kind of tennis elbow(?) thing from hyperextending HARD during aerial stuff. 060
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 27/05/2025Kinda bummed I didn't get a chance to see you guys while you were here, but I'm sure we'll probably run into each other at some conference or another. 🎮 110
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Random question (if this isn’t too invasive): do you use a “she-wee” or whatever? I’m old enough that bottom surgery is kind of a no-go for recovery reasons (also I’m ace, so what would be the point), so I only go into bathrooms that I know will have a sit-down stall. 110
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 24/05/2025In case it wasn’t obvious, I am a summer “intern” 🤣 working on some @stay-forever-home.com stuff. The project is awesome and team is awesome. There is real magic in this game. I told the founders that I want to work on something that makes people FEEL and it’s definitely this. 070
Jo Cronk @jocronk.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Whew. I cannot tell you how many times I had to rewind at various points in the Hobbit audio books after LASIK, because I kept falling asleep during descriptions of all of the meals… 010
