- In 2025 I achieved the below: • Expanded into mechanics design • Freelanced with more clients, even the big names! • Met more good folx in the industry despite living down under • Stepped-up my cartography skills while changing jobs and moving interstate. Many thanks to everyone who supported me!

- Reposted by Shu Qing TanThis was a really fun chat with Thomas, and it took us two tries, with a month in between because a power cut caused Thomas to lose the first half of the interview! I'm kinda glad we got to chat again though, a lot happened in the month in between that helped me better articulate some things.

- Why am I still doing this when I still feel like I don't belong? I'm not a grognard and I'm no influencer. I'm invisible, an awkward satellite behind the rising stars, and I'm far from the action. Very few, if any, care. Why do I persist when the odds are heavily stacked against me?
- Finished up two work streams at day job and had a good 45-min workout at the gym. Double happiness! Now for household chores and figuring out what precocious two-year olds like.
- Today was a good day. I donated activewear and clothes to the Red Cross. I went to SXSW Sydney and caught up with the Australian Roleplay Community team. AND... I did a full body workout at the gym! Now I'm feeling better and can happily resume finalizing my mechanics design assignment.
