Cross stitch is going slower than expected; itโ€™s a lot more time-consuming than I thought.

Havenโ€™t posted in a bit. Lifeโ€™s been busy, and Iโ€™ve been very deep in retro handheld emulation lately.

Thinking ahead to what might be next for TUTORIAL COMPLETE:
Lockpicking
Irish tin whistle
Learning to whistle with fingers in my mouth

More soon. The projectโ€™s still alive... just moving at human speed.

Addressing Burnout

Update: This was our April 1st 2025 prank. It was a reminder that burnout is real, especially in volunteer efforts, and that it has no easy answers. This is also a protest about the social burden created by LLMs - often trained using questionable ethics - including on the quality of support resources. And sometimes with the ultimate goal of replacing real human interactions that make communities like ours so special. <3
