general update

I don't update here often.
I've always taken a more serious look at my hobbies than most. Furry was one that I devoted a lot of time and energy to. It's been a great creative outlet, getting to meet and learn from so many crazy and unique artists, while I myself have been learning and teaching what I know in the aerospace and propulsion fields. Lately, after I had a spat with and got burned out from trying to work for one major defense corporation, I bought a house and have been working on self-improvement with my now long-term partners in Denver, Colorado. Still somewhat trying for friends in the area, but how I was treated coming out of the closet as transgender in Seattle still stings, and I honestly find myself without the energy to entertain friends, even online. I honestly feel that after all these years, I'd be happy to spend time catching up with almost anyone from my earlier years, and that's where my ache is. I walked away from a lot of people, companies, and industries I invested a lot of personal time, energy, and money into during the wake of COVID, and it's hard to get going again after getting back on my feet. Things are looking up, however, and if people start reaching out again once I start producing, I'll be really happy.
Now I have bought a house, a huge garage, a computer studio, a space of my very own to share with someone I love, and a fun new industry to get involved in. After stumbling in my typical polyworking yote way through a bunch of test, ops, maintenance, and manufacturing jobs in aerospace and food manufacturing, I found myself in a great gig in a energy startup staffed full of PhDs from all the biggest national and international research laboratories. My C-suite directly contributed to what I feel like is my generation's moon landing: in creating the first and only net-positive energy fusion reactions. It's absolutely crazy the way these world-renowned experts in their fields are starstruck with my abilities to make anything work while under-promising and over-delivering in every way they can imagine. I can't believe the competition I beat out in order to be selected to make these systems. Not bad for a former homeless high school dropout who was dragged around the world a couple of times through more war zones, conflicts, humanitarian crises, and countries than I can name unless sober and think really hard about.
My life is stabilizing, I'll probably restart some old art projects and iterate on stuff I've written with my partners. I've been thinking about leveraging my experiences in the military and video game industry into some personal multimedia projects and tech development. My job values me, my voice, my time, and my personal deveopment, so I'll be able to express myself in some new fun ways. Moving away from ghost writing potentially launching some publication work, and getting to inspire folks through media contributions through my employer, my home studio, and furry life is going to a lot of fun.
