My life has been... busy, to say the least, to the point I've been neglecting this blog, so imagine my surprise when I saw a $50 donation to my Ko-Fi, which I'm only linked to from here. Thank you, kind stranger!
I am not in any immediate financial dire straits but me and my boyfriend are thinking that as the political situation where I live is getting worse and worse that we probably need to move and that's expensive, so any little bit helps.
I'm honestly kind of baffled, though, because that was literally the first donation I've ever gotten from that link. I'm assuming, maybe, that it came from Mastodon, so I should maybe update on what I've been doing on Mastodon despite the drama of my previous instance shutting down... I've been working on what I've described there as the Arthurian Cupbearer Twinks project, for better or for worse. As of now it's a science fiction Arthurian myth riff and it's a pile of notes and ideas and I have not written any prose yet but I've mostly just been rotating knights around in my head like rotisserie chickens.
I'm a bit tired to get into it all but looking into arthurian myth it's just so... bizarre? I feel like I was raised orthogonal to these ideas in terms of culture and there's just so much that's so weird that's taken for granted because "everyone already knows" it, much like most everything else from the middle ages. The middle ages were a terribly weird time.
Anyway I keep telling people we should "go back" to dreamwidth (even though it will never happen due to the image hosting issues) considering all other social media is going down the toilet while dw keeps chugging along... so I should probably put my money where my mouth is and actually use this blog, lol.
