    Protecting my privacy. I am gender nonconforming and on HRT. So with the current political atmosphere and the fact that it has enabled and encouraged hate speech and attacks, I’ll new to be more careful on platforms that my identity is more prevalent.

    I’m not going to hide, as I’m not hiding by posting here. But I’m going to remove my data from corporate platforms that have connections to law enforcement and have poor security that insist on keeping my personal details. Can’t trust the federal government or any company, starting next year if the Project 2025 or Trump’s plan are truly put in place.

    I started learning how to make karaoke videos. Because the songs I like to sing are not readily available in karaoke format on YouTube.

    I made a channel for it and everything 😉 I’m getting ready to publish my 2nd video very soon.

    My goal is to try to do 1 song per month at a minimum. But, I do also have a day job and life stuff to juggle. So the YouTube channel is just a hobby.

    Flute! I started learning it last December, it’s been nearly a year and I’ve learned SO much. Going to keep at it and get even better!

    I want to get better at deeply understanding people, which probably starts with getting better at listening

      What’s your preferred medium? Do you have a way to make art everyday? I feel stuck at times and learning about how and what other art interested people Do gives me ideas.

        Digital 2D art drawn in Paint Tool SAI 1! I’ve been using that program for as long as I’ve been drawing digitally and honestly wouldn’t settle for anything else. I don’t typically draw everyday, only when I’m in the mood for it. To get ideas I’ll try doing random rough sketches and see what I vibe with, othertimes I can get inspired by movies, videogames or anime!

    Software development. I’m still not very good, but I’m better than I was at the start of the year.

    Swimming, I used to swim in high school but I’ve been out of practice for a couple decades, I got back in the pool a couple of weeks ago and struggled to swim 500 yards which is something I used to do in 6 minutes so I’ve been going a few times a week and pushed myself to 600 yards the last few sessions, anyway I want to try for 1000 yards by the end of the year.

    Oh no is it that time of that year already?!

    Maybe I should do the things I’m planning to do all year.
