I forgot to cancel my annual subscription to skillshare and I've been charged another $100... What classes should I take so I can take full advantage of the annual subscription before it runs out on February 8th 2026? I want to get better at writing and art and game development and music composition. Can I do all that in a year?

watched a skillshare course about freewriting last Saturday and I think I will try to make this a daily routine just for funsies, just to see how it goes. I'm already writing more in my journal that I used to, which is good, but I'd also like to get back into fiction and this seems like a way to ease back into it. I'm starting with 6 minutes a day because making it doable is better than making it grandiose (and once I start I don't wanna stop anyway)

It’s September! And yet still like 95 degrees. The planet is on fire, my dudes. So, as we discussed last month/week, August ended up not being terribly productive for me because I was free of the revision (aside from making edits from the marathon) and promptly was like I CAN DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING and hence did nothing because of Too Many Options. Having had the weekend to think about…

economic advice and timely buying tips: 2025 transits
as of late, social media has many discussions about what to buy - or avoid buying - over the next few years, largely in response to the political climate in the united states. across europe, many regions are actively preparing their populations for potential crises (sweden's seems to be the most popularly discussed - link). due to the urgency and pressure to act, as if the world might change tomorrow (and it could though i believe we still have time in many places), i’ve decided to analyze the astrological transits for 2025. in this post i provide practical economic advice and guidance on how much time astrology suggests you have to make these purchases everyone is urging you to prioritize. if it seems to intrigue people i’ll explore future years as well.
things the world needs to prepare for in 2025 in my opinion and why my advice is what it is: the rise of ai / automation of jobs, job loss, geopolitical tensions, war, extreme weather, inflation, tariffs - a potential trade war, a movement of using digital currency, the outbreak of another illness, etc.

It Sunday!! So it is reset Sunday!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don’t know for you but February has been pretty draining to me and knowing this month is coming to an end, i feel today is a great time to do some introspection.
Take your journal, and think about the fact that you made it through that challenging month. For me, I haven’t been this busy with work and felt like all that i do was not enough and just felt overwhelmed over all. Than i realized, man ITS WINTER! Everything would be overwhelming, i dont go out, way less socializing, more procrastination, no shit i feel so low.
If you live in Canada, especially in Quebec, you would know that winter been kicking our ass and i decided to do some about it! I look into ways to bring more joy into my life, active joy. Not Netflix or TikTok (which tbh turned in into a zombie lowkey)
I decided to find indoors hobbies and go back into walking 10k steps a day. I felt like i needed to find a purpose until summer comes back and i can be the goddess of the sun that i was always meant to be.
For the hobbies, i started reading again, BAKING ( because fly girls bake pookie ), working out more (yoga mostly because I’m a stiff queen rn and i dont like it).
So on this fine Sunday, do a list of the things the better you would be doing! Like what perfect you do on her free time you know! And also take some time to reflect and be grateful for yourself and all that makes you who you are.
Use today to plan this last week of February and prepare what you want your March to be. March will mark the end of the first quarter of the year. MAKE IT COUNT!
Here is a list of few hobbies you can do inside.
Creative & Artsy Hobbies 🎨
Painting & Drawing – Watercolors, acrylics, or digital art
Calligraphy & Hand Lettering – Beautiful writing styles
Scrapbooking – Preserve memories with creativity
Pottery & Clay Sculpting – Handmade ceramics and crafts
Mindful & Relaxing Hobbies 🧘🏾‍♀️
Meditation & Mindfulness – Stress relief and focus
Journaling – Gratitude journaling, dream logs, bullet journaling
Reading – Fiction, self-help, history, or poetry
Puzzles & Brain Teasers – Sudoku, crosswords, Rubik’s cubes
Astrology & Tarot Reading – Explore spiritual insights
Learning & Skill-Building Hobbies 📚
Learning a New Language – Apps like Duolingo or Rosetta Stone
Taking Online Courses – Skillshare, Coursera, Udemy
Playing a Musical Instrument – Piano, guitar, ukulele, or digital music production
Coding & Programming – Build websites, apps, or game
Creative Writing – Poetry, short stories, novels
Food & Drink Hobbies 🍽️
Baking & Cake Decorating – Experiment with new recipes
Cooking International Dishes – Try cuisines from different cultures
Mixology & Bartending – Make creative mocktails or cocktails
Fermenting Foods – Kimchi, yogurt, kombucha
I hope this help and i hope you giriliees are okay

Solarpunk Worldbuilding 2 - Mesh Intranet
Tumblr media
*Artwork by @bird_wells214 as reference*
Tumblr media
*Unknown artist*
As mentioned in the previous post, there is still internet in this world but it's different now. No longer is it doom scrolling that's filled with politics, drama, influences, and more. Now, it's the intranet.
The internet exists, but it's localized. Instead of one global net, each town has ther own unique mesh intranet. Communities share and upload stories, tech guides, magazines, songs, ans documentaries - all accessible for free.
"Influencers" exist in a way, but it's different now (more on that in another post).
While every Data Slate has a journal and map built in, there's a collection of unique "apps" that people can get and use.
This includes but not limited to:
Mood Gardens - Like a mood tracker in a sense. A gentle, visual space where users "plant" their feelings like seeds. You can select a mood (calm, angry, happy, sad, etc) and pair it with a sound, color, or image. Others can visit your little digital garden and leave small acts of care - Like a kind comment shaped like a dew drop, or a song in the shape of a mushroom. Mood Gardens bloom or wilt based on how the person feels over time, creating a space of quiet emotional check-ins and empathy.
Story Weave - A collaborative story writing and memory keeping project. Residents can start a thread with a piece of story - fiction or nonfiction, fantasy or memoir - and others can respond with artwork, voice recordings, music or the next part of the tale. It's part art gallery, part campfire circle, and part community archive.
Masked Mosaic - An anonymous space where users can share secrets, confessions, or thoughts they're not ready to attach a name to yet. Every post appears as a piece of Mosaic art with changing colors and patterns based on tone. It's moderated with care and compassion by community - appointed listeners rather than traditional mods.
Patchwork Trades - Kind of like Facebook Marketplace. A beautifully, digital barter board shaped like a quilt. Instead of listings and posts, every item or service offered appears as a patch. You might hover over or click a patch and find "hand-drawn pronoun pins" or "will watch your cat and water your plants." When Trades happen, a thread is digitally stitched between the two patches, showing the connections growing.
BuzzHive - A social update board styled like a honeycomb. You can share what you're up to - "Baking sweet potato rolls!" "Making rain charms today." "Feeling soft + sleepy." - but instead of likes and comments, others can send reactions like tiny bees: "hum of support" "sunbeam hug" "sprout of joy" or "quiet sit with you."
GroveTube - This is where people post tutorial videos - like how to bind books with wild-grass thread, build a bee-sade lantern, or compost using only forest scraps. It also includes soft-spoken vlogs, musical performances from tree balconies, and messages from traveling members. There's no algorithm, just categories like "soothing" "skillshare" "storytelling" or "random joy."
Rest Mode/Gentle Logout - Instead of pushing for endless engagement, the intranet encourages resting offline. If someone logs out for a few days or weeks, their profile softly fades to dusk colors, with a message like, "[User] is in rest-mode. Send soft love." Others can leave soft tokens or small notes that don't alert the person until they log back in.
The Vault of Remembering - A quiet, encrypted memorial place for those who have passed on. It contains memories, audio clips, digital letters, and little symbols like wind chimes or falling stars that friends and family can leave behind. It's updated during community Remembrance days with candles lit both physically and digitally.
The ideas are free to use for whatever you want or use for inspiration! All I ask is that you CREDIT ME! And feel free to send me an ask on more details to this lovely world :)

Yo, end of year, time for a chaotic thoughts thing?!
Ugh. 2024 almost over.
First of all, I will try to follow that post that says "strive to be the couch between the years". I will try to not stress these specific days.
Easier said than done.
Remember how I said I would not stress about my work future before 2025? Fuck shit, 2025 is almost there. (Technically I didn't say I would start stressing Jan 1st, so I don't need to do it right away. But you get the sentiment.) My current job ends Feb 2026, and since 99% I will not quit early because I AM the project and it won't get finished if I quit, it doesn't make sense looking for job, like, right away. But since I might drop out of my current field after this job ends (academia and laws and academic circumstances, let's not start talking about the WissZeitVG), and might have to do something completely different after current job, what the fuck am I supposed to do? So yeah, stressful.
Then, lets not think about how early in January this current year I was full of ideas what I was gonna do this year, and then blink of an eye and it's Dec 26th and have I done any of the things? Nooooope.
Which leads me to the matter of why. I think my biggest issue was I had a vague idea of what I wanted to do (like, "attend more cultural things") but I didn't turn that vague idea into actual plans.
Which leads me to "why do I never do real plans", to what the answer probably is: I fear failure. Making plans feels like I set myself up for failure, because I won't stick with the plans anyways. So, why bother. Why making workout goals if I drop them anyways 15% in. Same for art. Lets not talk about things like writing a PhD thesis. And so on.
(And let's not fool us: I should probably just *really* get an ADHD diagnosis and treatment. It cannot make my life worse. I'm always hesitant bringing that up because I don't want to look like I'm looking for excuses, but... It might be I'm not a complete failure for no reason, but for some stupid invisible disability. I'm trying really hard, you know?)
So yeah, I will try to make, like, real plans next year, and try to stick with them. Like, Tuesdays afternoon is for an art class on skillshare or something. I was starting to get some weekly routine-ish things established this year and it hasn't failed completely, so maybe I can do that?
Also, I want to try to do less of the all-or-nothing thinking. Like, so I did not stick with my workout routine I was hoping to build. But I still went to the gym more times than ever before. And did more stuff to tackle health issues at home, and I think that works. And I did not attend as many cultural things that I wanted, but I went to the local art hall and got myself a yearly membership and I still have a couple of months left to use it. And I started going to the local history museum just for fun more often. So I did not fail my vague ideas completely. All-or-nothing thinking gets me to drop vague ideas completely. I don't wanna do that.
Also, do less comparing myself to others, because that only harms, like, everyone. We're all on different paths, with different circumstances.
I'm trying really hard. And change of years is nothing else but some artificial point in time we usually stress too much about, but in the end it is just one day following another, like everyday.
So the whole "looking back" at one year and giving it a lable of "check" or "fail" and looking at the next year and making big plans is stupid, after all.
But I will try to be less vague and make more actionabl plans and then hopefully a few more will turn into reality.
