Dispatches from an in-progress attempt to get unstuck

Hello and welcome to the latest chapter of my midlife crisis, where I’ve done something somewhat impulsive, which is to sign a commercial lease on a (very modest) studio space in Brooklyn. I have felt creatively stuck for a while, and also just generally disconnected and ungrounded from the immediate physical world around me. So I’m hoping that having a dedicated space to make stuff will encourage me to get myself unstuck. (Also paying a monthly subscription fee a.k.a. rent to another landlord in order to hold myself accountable to fixing my own creative constipation better be enough of a fire to get me moving and stop feeling sorry for myself.)

Minor petty fedi gripe: Adding a hashtag to a post after it's been published does not add the post to the hashtag listing. So if you want the post to be included in the hashtag listing it looks like you have to delete and publish again with the hashtag.

As someone who frequently thinks of relevant hashtags for Pixelfed posts after the fact this makes me irrationally angry. Have noticed the same behavior at Mastodon but don't hashtag as much there.
