oh dear, This one gets a lil emotional!! I talk about the looming feeling of turning 30, The Secret History, old and lasting insecurities, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and in general just get very wistful. I'll be uploading the video version of this later tonight (I saw in the survey that folks were interested in video podcasts too, so!! we'll try it out~), once it finishes uploading!!

Hey y'all!
If you haven't already seen, Bisan has called for a global strike this week. I know I'm a little late in this announcement post, but I wanted to let y'all know why I was particularly offline this week.
Typically, I'd be prepping to post my sketchbook tour and second podcast episode for you this week, but I'll be holding off on that until next Mon...

I'm not gonna lie, knowing that I'm going to be doing these photo dumps more regularly makes me hyper aware of just how much time I spend at home...I know COVID cases are going up right now (pls get your updated vaccine!!! Ares and I are going on Saturday~), so it's not too much sadness about not going out, but it makes me very aware of how a lot of my days are very same-y.
And I usually don't have an issue with this!! But I've had this feeling lately where it alm...

Hello my dears!! So this video is actually gonna be sponsored by Milanote, but my manager is currently talking with them to clarify some info I need to record the ad spot. I uploaded this version last night to get a couple folks to proof-watch it, but I realized that now I conveniently have a sponsor-free version of this video to share with y'all :D
I hope you like it!! I'm quite proud of this video -- I did try to make it under half an hour but...you know me...my next ...

HELLOOOOO my dears~ Happy New Year!! I am in the midst of knitting my first ever sweater (for a YouTube video so the deadline "fire-under-my-ass" feeling is really moving me along lolol) and I wanted to share a lil bit of the process with you cause it's honestly been incredibly magical?? Even though I've encountered some big headaches, I'm still really enjoying myself and watching a garment literally grow from nothing out of my needles feels like actual witchcraft. OwO
WOOOOOOW I was not expecting this episode to be almost three hours long buuuuuut I did say that y'all know I love to ramble so!!! Are any of us that surprised??
Anywho!! I hope you enjoy this extremely long and juicy q&a!! I will likely write up a lil reference sheet for all the stuff I mentioned, but I lost my post-it note I was using to keep track and idk when I'll be able to listen to this whole three hour recording again, so!! If you have any questions about any...

Hi y'all!!! I was waiting on international stamps for ages, but they finally came in so I was finally able to send out the international Nov rewards, so now it's all been mailed out~~ The Dec stickers are arriving today, but I won't be able to pack and send out December goodies until I get back from Houston at the end of the month, but I'm hoping to get them sent out before the new year. :o)

Hello my dears!! I wanted to do a lil end of the year q+a, SO this is the post where I’d love to collect those questions!! Ideally I’ll be able to get to all of em, but I do retain the right to skip any questions that maybe strike me as too personal or that I don’t feel comfy answering~~
Hit me with them!! Also I’ll be doing a little photo dump in a couple days, but here’s a photo of one of our stage manager’s dog, Scout, coming around to give us our half-hour announcement :...

YAHOOO I'm ahead of the game this month!! The sticker and postcard are done and I'm very happy with them :o) I think the sticker is gonna have a sparkly holo detail on the blue outline surrounding the bunny -- I'm waiting back on the proof now, but I think it would be a very cute detail~~
hello friends!!! have a very eepy podcast here on the final day of november -- again, i'm so sorry to only put up one this month, but!! we'll be back to bi-weekly for december :D

so like I posted earlier today, I've got two videos going up this week -- I'm still editing my Skillshare video that's going up tomorrow, but I need to film a quick little video for Squarespace. I initially thought of doing a draw with me, but now I'm also thinking of doing a knit-look crochet hat tutorial, cause I know that 'tis the gift-giving season...Let me know what you wanna see! I'm gonna start filming tonight once I finish editing~

Hello my dears!!! Again, thank you for your patience this month -- I always forget how much theatre eats up all my time/energy, so thanks for sticking around during this quiet little internet month.
I wanted to update you on November rewards and also give you a game plan for December! Now that the show is officially open, and we are done with understudy rehearsals, the majority of my weekday afternoons (so my usual work days) have returned to me~ ...
