Did I spend a couple hours tonight making an eerie mix of the creepiest part of the song plus a track cover and then put it up on Bandcamp? Yup.
I wrote a short creepy story today about an old childhood fear, which was an innocent lullaby that scared the hell out of me for some reason. Mr. Nightfall, while innocent in the song, made my mind wander to some dark places as a kid.

Yup. That's why I started avoiding them last year. It just felt like it was in bad taste.
TIL that the indieverse awards organizer is not only frequently a nominee in the awards she created, runs, and *judges* but that she has won in the past. fucking gross. hard pass on that from me. i know being indie is rough! but this is not the way. 🚮

This place is a little dead, so I'm spending more time on Threads, as much as I hate to. Instagram as well, which is where most of my interaction is happening these days. Just really low on spoons so I'm trying to narrow down where I spend my time.

61 entries up today. Many are pretty short, but sorting them into chapters is so much easier to keep track. I'm really glad I decided to do this with my journals-turned-memoir, it's helping me get back on track with readability editing so I might finally get this thing done.

Ditching Spotify last year was the best thing I ever did. YouTube music has way more music, especially from indies and smaller artists who just make music for the love of it. Anyone can upload their music to YouTube too, so it's way better to discover people just starting out. Totally worth it.

Curious about some of the custom covers I've made? Here's some examples! Both my premade covers and custom covers are priced to be affordable to the average indie author. However, if you have an limited budget and need more of a discount, I'm willing to work with you. I also offer payment plans!

Been playing Disney Dreamlight Valley for the first time. Honestly, it's what I needed right now. I did not expect to relate so hard to a Disney game but this has been a surprise. It's really helping to pass the time while I'm going through this really bad mental health period.

So Bluesky reset my accessibility options and turned off the option to require alt text. It also reset my options about not wanting to see trending shit. Be sure to check your settings because they might have reset.

I'm up to 48 entries in my journal-turned-memoir. Reading my coming out letter and then the aftermath, when I was kicked out, was a little rough. There were way worse things to re-read over the year before that, but it's affirming to know I stood up for myself, even when it resulted in homelessness.
