Life Update

Life has been loud in some not great ways. Nothing majorly devastating but just very demanding. Work especially has been rough as we’re dealing with being incredibly understaffed and when you have people like me who are good at the job and dependable, it feels like we’re constantly bearing the brunt of it and getting pulled every which way.

For the past few months, it’s been work and come straight home and crash and wake up and do it all over. Still understaffed but things appear to be on the mend so here’s hoping for a little relief soon.

In better news, this has driven me to take some matters regarding my career into my own hands. I just started training for a certification that my employer is covering and with the support of my mentor. This can help me not only make a very good amount of money but would get me out of my current position which severely goes against my more introverted nature. Training is going well and I’m feeling very good about it.

Stress has been making me sick on and off so I hadn’t been able to see most of my family since Christmas since I was getting sick like every other weekend. Finally got out this weekend to hang out and though my family is far from perfect, I’m so thankful for them. There’s so much love and support there which I don’t take for granted.

I also had a birthday last weekend. I’m very anti-celebration for my own birthday and just like to use that day to relax and do as much or as little as I want. Getting to see another year is always a blessing.

Writing had to take a backseat to a lot just with how little time, energy, and mental bandwidth I’ve had. I’ve attempted to get some things done but haven’t been successful at getting more than a few sentences or paragraphs without my brain just shutting down. I even tried to do a one shot on my birthday to post as a gift but couldn’t get it done. So much of my mental energy is going towards trying to focus and get stuff done at work that the second I leave, my brain just sort of cuts off anything that isn’t basically directly contributing to moving around and keeping me alive which sucks tremendously.

I am, of course, not abandoning any of my works and should be able to get back to it soon once things lighten up a bit. My training for my certification is about 10 weeks and while I’m certain I’ll post updates while I’m training, I do want to be transparent that this is going to take priority. If I don’t do well, I have to pay my job back and it costs a pretty penny so I gotta make this a priority as much as possible.

As always, I appreciate you all and your patience during these periods of hiatus. I truly believe that once I’m out of my current role, these will be far more infrequent. I’ll have way more flexibility in my schedule and getting to work back office which will be infinitely better for me mentally.

The next time I post will be with updates so I appreciate you sticking with me just a little bit longer.

Beca and Jesse break up. Chloe knows now’s the time to make her move so, naturally, she recruits the girls to help her out

the removal of physical media is not the inevitable progression of improving tech, its like the removal of the 3.5mm jack: purely a result of profit physical games still account for about 1/5th of all sales of video games

but by only selling digital games sony can be the ultimate arbiter of their price. they can stop you lending games and force another sale instead. they can stop the sale of second hand games and keep prices artificially high. they can set any price they want and that will be your only option.

You really start to understand that the “angry black woman” and “mean lesbian” stereotype only exists to shame us for the fact we get reasonably upset about people wanting to horrifically abuse us indiscriminately. Let’s get meaner !

guys remember when caitlyn kiramman took a dramatic gay yearning shower where she pictured vi walking away and then turning back around while she bit her lip and glared at the wall. remember when vi went on an insane bender and dyed her hair black when her not-girlfriend broke up with her. remember when caitlyn became a dictator because she didn't have her puppy-eyed butch lesbian steering her conscience anymore. remember when vi ate caitlyn out in a prison cell.

they're so fucking gay. happy pride to caitvi.

This pizza was made over here in Brazil and I’m happy to inform everyone that the method they used to get the toppings over the whole dough evenly is just slightly less funny than what the last poster in the thread suggested:

They hovered a guy over it using a crane and maneuvered him around by pushing him with a pole.

Hi everyone!

It has been brought to my attention that during the previous year's event promotion, AI was used to create at least some of the promotional materials. As the person that originally ran this blog and used to create the graphics for the first couple of years, I have found this information incredibly disappointing and disheartening, as I'm sure all of you have as well.

In order to rectify the situation I have taken sole possession of the blog and completely cleared it to give all of us a fresh start, and will be running Spookfest myself this year.

I'm going to state this here and clearly so that everyone knows where I stand on this situation and what the Spookfest potential future team's stance is:

This is a gen-AI free space. There is no room for gen-AI in creative spaces. We do not condone theft of artwork by or the astronomically detrimental environmental impact of AI. No further posts, works or submissions will contain AI as far as can be controlled, and if we are made aware of the use of AI in anything that may be shared by us, it will be immediately removed.

That out of the way, there will be a Spookfest 2026, and I really hope that you'll join me in October to celebrate the spooky season with fabulous creations of your own. I am committed to making this year the best Spookfest yet!!!
