I'm doing some online training for a new job, and one of the questions that came up had this answer.

I am sharp, complex, and fragile. You are sharp, complex, and fragile. And all of those are beautiful things to be.

i've been writing fanfiction for like hours now and i just wrote this line and idk if it's good or not: Yet another lump of jumbled feelings for the luggage that there was no time to unpack.

this ologies episode on burnout was an episode i was a little scared to click on. sometimes with subjects that are very personal to me, it is hard for me to seek out other opinions, out of fear that my way of viewing them will be challenged so bad that i will surely melt into a million pieces and die.
i have been trying to reassure myself since then that this is a ridiculous thing to assume. so anyway, burnout. the researcher does talk about working with cops at one point, but she is an indigenous researcher who grew up on a reservation, and then there is a really good conversation about the role that capitalism plays in the way that so many people burnout specifically under the circumstances the system creates. i think that conversation happens during the patreon questions section. overall, i would highly recommend anyone and everyone i know to listen to this episode. i am definitely in the category of "my perfect balance is quite fragile and i have to do a lot more upfront work than others to not burnout every 6 months" (aside: wtf is up with alie promoting betterhelp. we live in hell!!!)

for the longest time the articulation points on my shadow and mephiles figures were just really backwards and twisted, so i finally soent some time readjusting and now they have a lot more fluidity and detail in the posing i can do with them

I have nooooo idea how to resize images properly yet so they loooooook wonky

first diary entry of the new year! just a random thought because for some reason i was relistening to some Les Mis songs last night. I didn't understand the point of Eponine as a character when I was younger, i always thought her arc was kind of reductive and just another "girl whole personality love of boy more at 6". and i think i was right, at least for the musical adaptation, which is what i was primarily exposed to. i was going to write a mini analysis of her character using the lyrics of "on my own" but then found myself on the wiki page for her character and am currently going down the most mind fuck rabbit hole. i have barely dented the article because there is so Much There. already my entire view of eponine has been blown to bits. ive read maybe the first 50 or so pages of les mis amd have never been able to keep at it past that, so i knew the actual novel was richer in its content and themes than the catchy showtune version, but fuck i am gazing down a very long and winding cavern.
along with all of that, i am having a surprisingly great january.

Hope everyone is hanging in there. I love you. keep on partying :D
