Starting this off with my dear Dasymutilla Occidentalis, aka the red velvet ant or cow killer!!!

﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

Midnight bristles. stripes of ruby.

Crescent needle, threaded, piercing

Into the flesh, burning, melting.

Shielding marvel, flightless beauty

Your warning cry, a shrill, sharp show

A siren’s song, undulating

Creaking, squeaking. Parasitic

Masterpiece, digging down below.

A good structure is something you can trust.

It relieves you from the burden of remembering and keeping track of everything. If you can trust the system, you can let go of the attempt to hold everything together in your head and you can start focusing on what is important: The content, the argument and the ideas. By breaking down the amorphous task of “writing a paper” into small and clearly separated tasks, you can focus on one thing at a time, complete each in one go and move on to the next one . A good structure enables flow, the state in which you get so completely immersed in your work that you lose track of time and can just keep on going as the work becomes effortless (Csikszentmihalyi, 1975). Something like that does not happen by chance.

The plan: Introductory Post

Hello everyone!

I'm mostly writing this post to pin it to my blog page for those who visit.

The heart of this blog is tracking a website I will build from the ground up. This includes the front-end, back-end, UX/UI design, and any other planning/work that pops up.

For some context, around a year ago, I started practicing web development to make it my career. However, things turned out differently than expected. I got another job after having horrendous luck finding work. I really enjoy it, so it snuffed out my drive to find a career in web development.

However, I've always liked web development and programming in general. I've always wanted to use it, but I just didn't have any ideas I wanted to commit to. Now, I have a site that I feel I can turn into a full-fledged application, and I'd like to track it here for those interested and connect with others interested.

I've been on a six-month hiatus, so I'm pretty rusty, but I've decided I want to build the site using Svelte and Supabase. Svelte has always been the framework I wanted to learn, so this website is the perfect excuse. I also have experience with Firebase, but I wanted to challenge myself by learning Supabase. Most of my experience is with React and Next.js. I've used them for volunteer work and for freelancing gigs in the past.

I'll also give a brief summary of my website for common understanding. The MVP will start as a blog, but I plan to expand it to turn it into an informative database (sort of like Wikipedia) and have some interactive elements. I won't get into the meat of the idea, but that's what to expect with my posts. But before that, my posts will mostly be centered around a summary of my learning. Since I'm learning Svelte, my current posts will be based on that.

Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to hearing your comments or insights moving forward! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

It’s challenging for me, but it’s fun to do something so creative - making videos on topics like this in a language I’m learning. It’s great practice, and I’m sure it will improve with time. 💗

what i like about ada's report, & i'll get into it more eventually, is that despite it being ada explaining the plot (& her motivations) to you directly, it presents an interesting relationship between ada, a known liar & manipulator, & the audience. while she withholds information from other characters & skirts about on mystery throughout RE4 & separate ways, there is one person to whom she doesn't lie, to whom she does tell the truth, at least a part of it, & that is you, the player. it is a very neat narrative device that wouldn't work as well in a different medium

honestly the fact that not all the tracks stewart copeland composed for spyro ended up in the levels he originally conceived them for has driven me wild ever since he mentioned it.

i wish that the work retreat dance party every year did not remind me that i think [faculty member redacted] is really hot

normally i don’t think this bc he’s kind of a dick to his trainees but in a stupid work event dance floor setting i am instead reminded that he’s pretty and gay and a kind of terrible but earnest and dedicated dancer

all of which just is hot imo

fortunately when we return to the real world i will cease to think this because i will instead be distracted by my moderate disapproval of his performance as a manager and my perplexity at the choices he makes for his lab space

goals

I've just realized that it's almost december 2023 and so I have found it a bit funny that I'm starting this right now, but anyway, I have read in many places that you should give yourself 6 months to notice radical changes in your life, and since I'm currently trying to be more organized and consistent so I can live my dream life, I decided to give it a go :). My goals in a so-very-not-specific-and-concrete list:

Make schedules and stick to them.

Find people with similar goals so that we can motivate each other!

Make creative projects consistently.

Improve my health in all aspects (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, etc).

Also, a few years ago I created some blogs to help myself in the language learning journey with korean, french and german. I really liked it and I would like to be in a place where I can reactivate them and be constant again with them.

I want to do and learn so many things! and I expect that this blog will help me achieve those dreams, so: this blog's main goal is to assist me in the process of staying focused, so I can achieve the THAT girl badge*.

I don't really have an official plan as to what I will be posting about, but I guess it should be interesting information in regards to getting things done, motivational quotes, etc.

Thanks for reading :)

*I found it nice to think that being "that girl" is like a badge from girl scouts haha :), but idk if the concept of "that girl" is the same for everyone, as for myself, it means a woman who prioritizes herself (her health, her peace, her dreams...), and knows, values and honors herself for who she is.

❤️ “With this grant, we’ll establish an LGBTQIA+ community space in the library, open to all students, with guest speakers, arts and crafts, LGBTQIA+ books and literature, and LGBTQIA+-specific resources.” - Pocatello, Idaho

🧡 “Our project aims to support LGBTQ+ students through teacher training, development of gender-neutral bathroom protocols, and the organization of a district-wide Queer Prom.” - Gypsum, Colorado

💛 “We’ll take students from the 3 middle schools and our local high school to Honolulu Pride to make local LGBTQ+ friends, feel accepted in a large group, and see the community beyond just school.” - Ewa Beach, Hawai'i

💚 “We’re going to increase access to queer literature by working with a local nonprofit to expand our school’s collection, host storytelling events, and foster community connection." - Mobile, Alabama

💙 “Our plan is to create new Inclusivity Zones across the state in critical areas for local GSA clubs to meet, plan shared events, and be their own safe space.” - Charleston, West Virginia

💜 “We’ll host the Rainbow Youth Summit for LGBTQIA+ youth from across southern California to network, learn, and have fun in a safe, judgement free and supportive environment.” - Cathedral City, California

These students are truly the definition of making things better - you can see the rest of the amazing projects lined up across the country on our blog here!

My first YouTube video is up! I’m a bit worried, but you have to start somewhere, right? We grow by practicing and taking small steps. 💕

im actually amending that last paragraph. i do want to see his cock and balls. if larian gives him a sex scene, theres a 50/50 chance theyll actually have to model devil wyll's dick and he really cant just casually mention that mizora cast Weird Your Dick and not elaborate

i dont wanna undercut my criticism too hard with humor, but wyll would probably get hit with the "hes boring" accusation a lot less often if larian actually followed through with half of the things they imply about wyll before dropping completely

re: wyll's lack of a sex scene

"its nice that theres an ace option" there isnt. you still have sex, larian just fades to black after 3 seconds of fully-clothed kissing. if you dont want your character to fuck, you can say no. if you dont want to say no but for some reason still dont want to see anything, the game has a nudity censor option

"he was just lowest priority because, out of all the romanceable companions, he puts the lowest priority on sex" lower priority than haarlep? than the drow twins? emperor? the woman who owns his soul gets full-frontal but his own scene cuts to black before he even takes his shirt off. larian puts in the content they think players would enjoy, and seemingly just saw the option to fuck wyll as unimportant to players

"it just wouldnt mesh with his character, hes too romantic" okay but he literally does fuck offscreen in his romance route, so it would in fact be in character for him. also sex isnt inherently impure. this is a less sex-positive take than the generally accepted one in the mormon church (i would know, im exmo). have you never heard the euphemisms "making love" and "intimacy" before? this is a weird take and youre weird for having it

do i, as a lesbian, personally want to see his cock and balls? no. do i think it Says Something when larian just assumes that no one wants horny wyll content in a famously horny game? yes

[majestic-trilliums]

I’m always terrified… but I do it anyways.

You don’t understand how much anxiety and excitement goes through my bones when I’m doing something that is uncomfortable and embarrassing…. Everything inside me tells me to turn the other way, and to not go for it.. But you know what? I will fight through that terror, because damn am I terrified….. and put myself in these situations, so I can learn from the experience of what the potential learnings are right in front of me. I am willing to look foolish, so I can learn, and have more a confident approach with what the tasks are at hand. If someone is willing to teach and train me, I will take the resources given, and make it my own. I am willing to start at the bottom, to make it to the top.

The Every room you step foot in, gets you one step closer to your desires. Talk to people, align yourself with the hands of the universe, and take every opportunity possible.

To feel good, and to receive good, you have to be willing to put action and energy into not only your craft, but you have to focus on things that will take you closer to that big dream of yours. Surround yourself with good energy, or even sit in solitude. And learn to enjoy the silence. I’m too focused to be distracted with anything that doesn’t align with my highest good.
