Where the hell have YOU been?
10 months ago
I've been over on twitter, mostly, buuuuuuuut given recent events, I am not exactly excited about doing business or posting my thoughts over there anymore. So NOW you can find me over at
https://bsky.app/profile/strype.bsky.social
I'm not planning on using FA currently, (and there's literally thousands of pieces of art if I were to post backlog, so that's probably not happening either), but I'm active over on Bluesky, and will be taking commissions over there for the foreseeable future. It's just easier than FA notes.
As for the last 5 years, I've just been rollin along, transing my gender, doin my thang as many of you on social media have seen. Still doing commissions as a full time job, and generally feelin a LOT better in my skin these days. New friends, new perspectives and knowledge, new... perspective on myself and what kinda person I am and my role in the world. So I'm... generally pretty good, actually. Not ideal yet, still challenges to overcome, but my spirit is stronger than ever. And I hope those who don't follow me on socials have been doin alright too.
But yeah, just a little update in case people are curious where I am ^^

I have zero social media accounts, and am quite happy about that.
Can recommend exiting social media platforms for everyone. Instead of spending time with a phone, focus on the people living around you in your area. Life without social media algorithms attempting to constantly swing my emotions from anger to hate to fear and back is the way for better mental health.
"No one needs to know what the other voices in my head are saying on an hourly basis. I wake up a miserable bastard, and go to bed a miserable bastard - there's no need to change my status from Giddy to Cautious."
But great to hear things are going well for you. I'll most certainly be following you over on the butterfly site. Keep on keeping on. :D
That said, I also don't do that style of frontline advocacy anymore; I still help in other areas, but for my own mental health, I tend to stay away from that sort of arena these days.
Aaand I know that my paranoid tendency to want to just kit-bash a solution together out of e-waste, to void corporate interference, isn't always a healthy one XD
well, i've created a bsky account, if things get dogy there I can always bail :) https://bsky.app/profile/garrwolfdog.bsky.social
Good to hear that you're doing well, though.
Thankfully I'm already following you at that elsewhere. Just disappointed you're not exactly returning here is all.
Didn't realize you were on Twitter - I've missed your art!
Watching you on Bluesky now. 😁✨
Will you be posting new art to both Discord and Bluesky?
I didn't realize you had a Discord server; FA was basically the only place I followed you. I may join up with that if only to have a better idea of what your progress is, given it has been years at this point.
got me like 𓁹ω𓁹
Don't give up, I believe in you. ^^
also heres not so fun fact, ever since elon musk bragged about donald trump vicotry, twitter lost
total of 7000 user per day, even some celeberty is moving to threads or bluesky as a result of it.
they are not coming back to twitter for a long time, thats for sure.
