Hello! It's been a second, so let's catch up!

First of all, my sincerest apologies that the first thing you've heard from me outside of reblogs on BlueSky or the cryptic allusions in my descriptions for art uploads is some weird test post- there's a reason for it, of course, but allow me to say first of all that it's been a very, *very* weird summer with a lot of conflicting emotions and events. Not the least of these would be a lot of financial strain for upcoming expenses and bills, putting together my portfolio website for upcoming art interviews, and having to part ways with a community that was central to a lot of my personal and creative interests... within the span of a week. Oh, and my birthday. I Aged.

Regardless, with my finishing this recent commission, I'm going to take the time today to address a few things about my growth. The first is that I'm making a fifth and final home for my art and ramblings on Tumblr (as well as a soft-reset on Mastodon- more information on that later). After much deliberation (as well as some research on posting guidelines), I'll be rejoining the site officially. I originally debated whether to make it or Instagram my final, art-centric site, but considering how rampant the latter's issues with AI moderation are, I think my choice is pretty clear-cut.

The second is in regards to those weird "Test" posts you probably saw a day ago: I've started using a multiposting tool! Obviously I'm still working through how to use it, and there WILL be some hiccups until I can get the thing to work exactly how I want it to, but the results from the Test post, combined with my actual upload yesterday, were extremely promising.

Lastly, I'll be trying to plant my roots into more groups and organizations that I like on each respective platform- if you've got any good ones, send 'em my way! As for now, expect these changes to take place over the course of the day.

Thanks so much for your time, and I hope to get back to you soon with more stuff! Expect another post with my updated socials list when everything is set up, as well as an updated commissions sheet post!
