what are we doing right now?

last updated: july 14th, 2026!

hope and joy have been rekindled, for we are going to be visiting our partner system from late august to mid-september. we are very excited to see them - our body's birthday is included in the dates and it's going to be the nicest time ever!

of course, we are still unemployed, but the upcoming trip to the states gives us a break from the sisyphean trials of job searching.

we are part of an artists' collective in our city, and a lot of exciting opportunities come from that! our art was recently in an exhibition, which was pretty cool and fun! we got to reunite with our mom over this, after being no contact with her for six years. nature is healing...

we are often performing our poetry and constantly generating new material - we write a lot and pretty often. we're trying to publish the backlog of our existing works as collections on our itch.io, and have recently self-published scream to the sea in this way!

another current project is an abstract art zine with 10 other people, who have completed their works - we just need to curate and organise the actual pdf... which is pretty exciting. big things are coming!

we make lots of art all the time, and recently got super into exploring mixed media between physical and digital art. at the start of the year, we developed the basics of a conlang writing system, but that's yet to become a major project/fixation, alongside the ryona vn we're trying to write. but we have hope that these, as well as our desire to make music, will result in something interesting and beautiful!

we're constantly on a journey to improve our physical health and it may be slow and difficult, but it is worth it and important to us... recently we got some good bloodwork results, which is nice. we also finally got a therapist for our mental health.

okay, but what about media and hobbies? well, we really like to read books and listen to music. we mostly read translated (usually japanese) contemporary fiction, and we listen to just about any genre that vibes with us, usually on the electronic side, but it really depends on who's listening to it. we also like to watch films and anime, and are trying really hard to let ourselves play games.

in conclusion, life is so incredibly precious and wonderful, but we need to get a "real" job pretty badly. it's always like this, but one day it won't be - and life will be even more gorgeous then.
