Getting back into music has been so healing for my soul.
It is such a good outlet to help me process my anxieties.
It's such a good way to connect with nature.
To connect with others.
And right now community is something we all very much need.
So never stop creating.
Never stop sharing art.
I heard this very profound thing the other day (by Brandon Sanderson) about how WE are also art.
The creative process changes us as much as we change the thing we create.
At the end of learning a new song, drawing a picture, or whatever we create: we have grown.
We have changed.
We are art.
(4/?)
Never stop creating art.
Regardless of your medium.
Regardless how niche your interest is.
Art creates such gloriously incredible beauty.
Art shows us the raw, grotesquely, horrible atrocities that are occurring.
Art is at the heart of resistance.
Art is how we connect with each other.
(3/?)
Never stop creating art.
It's not about how much profit you can make.
It's not how many hobbies you can turn into side hustles.
It's not about how many commissions you can get.
It's not about how many likes you get.
It's not about being "good" enough.
It's not about becoming super famous.
(2/?)
Never stop creating art.
Create in spite of how awful everything is.
Create in spite of all this genAI bs.
Art is how we express ourselves.
Art is how we share our humanity.
Art is how we share our souls, not only with each other, but with all the rest of nature.

But also bajo quinto looks really fun to learn.
I need to stop looking at pretty guitars.
Picture of a Purple Burst Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar.
Picture of a Bkack Ortega Family Series R221BK classical guitar.
I think I have convinced myself that if I stick to daily music practice for a year, I will let myself get one of these.
Personally leaning towards a classical guitar, but also this purple is so pretty.
I've started uploading @sheiky.bsky.social RE2R Mystery Mods playthrough as well! These are some of the funniest streams we've ever done!
It's so incredibly healing to just connect with nature. It puts all my fears and anxiety at ease for a bit. This is probably what it feels like to be a Disney princess 😂
Yesterday i played guitar outside. Robins, tuffed titmice, and cardinals flew down into low branches and sang with me. Squirrels sat up on the fence and listened. When i stopped the wind blew through the trees and it almost sounded like their way of applause.

This is my 10th year participating in #extralife which is wild to think about. I'm really exited to see what we end up doing this year as a community!
I hope they went well! Good luck!
The story in this one is very cute and silly :3 i really want to play the old chocobo racing eventually! It looks super cute!
My full playthrough of Chocobo GP's story mode is on the VOD channel now!
I'm kind of sad this game flopped on launch, its so cute. Happy they got rid of the micro transactions.

Super excited for this stream today and hope to see you there!
I'm glad you've been enjoying it! FFXV is one of my favorite games :) i love how it focuses on a few characters so you can really see their bond grow. It was also the first FF I got my gf to play through with me, so lots of special memories with it.
Thank you Sl0nk0 <3 I will be back to streaming eventually, I just need to balance everything first. I'm not great at time management lol. I hope you've been doing well!
I've been really happy lately. I've been focusing on things I can control in my life (hence the music and gardening) and it has been doing wonders for my anxiety. It's just really nice to enjoy nature :3
I definitely relate to this. I'm sorry you had such a bad flare up today. I love you and appreciate you Emie! I know you said you don't like reaching out, but my dms are always open if you ever need someone to pull you out of your head and remind you that you are loved!
"Cool vibe" doesn't do enough to articulate how good it feels to be at one with nature. It's honestly so healing.
I miss streaming and having time to watch friends' streams as much as I used to. But I also really love my new job. I've been learning a lot of new skills. I've also been playing music and gardening a lot more too. Playing guitar for the plants and animals is such a cool vibe.
Our $5,000 goal for @aclu.org has been reached! Thank you everyone for your support!! We'll still be doing streams the next couple days, followed by our Archipelago finale on March 1, so there are still chances to claim raffle tickets and donate to a good cause 💖
Plus Discord already fumbled 70k IDs. So even less reason to trust them.
No worries lol. Yeah that's absolutely ridiculous. No company should be collecting that kind of data. There's no such thing as perfect digital security. If the payload is THAT good (personal data that could be sold on a black market) hackers will put all their effort into getting at that.
Not a fan of needing to promote this, but February was an even worse month financially for me, and I'm currently a bit financially fucked as I scramble to catch up
Nobody is required to send anything, but every little bit will make a major difference right now <3
I'm not telling anyone they have to delete Discord. You do you. But I do hope you stand up for yourself when other companies become predatory.
