It's been about a yr since I last updated the site! Yikes... Sorry! I decided to update my pets page because since my last update our sweet boy Takkun passed from a long battle with cancer. I made a memorial page for my babies that have passed. I also added our new addition, Cricket, to the Kitty in My Pocket cards.

I'm so curious about your gif-y images. How do you make them?

sorry I love stalking activity. I think you’re talking about “image dithering”. There are tools online and tutorials to help recreate in ps or gimp

in photoshop you can "dither" your image by clicking image > mode > indexed colors. my settings are palette: local (selective), colors: 216, forced: web, and dither: pattern.

New blog post about rekindling creative passion (or at least attempting to): https://lostletters.neocities.org/2025/03/04/rekindling-creative-passion if you've gotten out of a creative rut recently, I'd love to hear how.

it helps me to force myself to do a little of something most days (I don't do well with daily🫠). I try to think of the scaffolding for my ideas and focus on that. for example if I want to write more blogs, I write nonsense more often to exercise my writing brain. or use my time to learn code before deciding how to put it on my site later, etc.

it's sadly not fool proof and I still have dips but I also try to view blocks as part of the creative process, rather than a failure of creativity. sometimes you're in a moment where you're consuming/inputting, rather than creating/outputting, and that's on

That's such a kind way of framing the blocks, I'll take that to heart for sure. Thank you!

not focusing on the outcome i think is the best way! doing it for the journey not the destination. you can make stuff for yourself, small things. maybe write a small d20 loot list or make a wordsearch out of code. you don't have the share the things if that piles on the pressue for it to be 'perfect'. creativity is in the process. do it for the joy :) you've got this xx

i have an approach that i've sort of hodge podged together into my own thing from a few different idea sets i've seen over the years, but basically, i hold myself to a weekly deadline for an achievable with good effort "published" writing that i post to the site. this works for me because a) i view creativity as a habit that gets stronger with reinforcement and b) it creates a streak that i do not want to break

it's not fool-proof (i am a fool, after all) but it really makes me not feel so precious about certain ideas i've logged away to "work on some day" and also makes me flex the creative muscles even when i don't want to, like, at all. i know it's something i view as good and productive for myself so i'm fine with this sort of background badger in my brain saying "hey saturday is coming you need to write something"

i used to think good ideas, creative efforts, and my own capabilities were this limited resource that i had to choose to use sparingly for fear of running out. now i believe the opposite is true. "hold nothing back, the well will refill" to quote robert d. richardson

I really need to work on getting better at practicing even when I don't want to do it at all as you mentioned. I'm going to try to work on building that muscle!

when i moved back to the states from japan a few years ago, i was shocked at how easy it was for me to open a bank account. i had been afraid of doing it for weeks after my harrowing experiences in japan, but it only took like 25 minutes... so i completely understand how you feel!

The founder of micro.blog defended their contractor, a dev who created tinylitics, even though it was revealed that the dev is transphobic (also an Elon supporter—yikes!). Here’s a summary of what went down: https://coyotetracks.org/blog/pressure-to-stay-genteel/ I have deleted my tinylitics account, and will be scrubbing that service from my website when I have the chance to update my code.

(I'm writing while wearing my own Cowboy Bebop shirt XD) Seeing your old photos and interests reminds me so much of my older cousin who's around your age, so thank you for following!!
