    Protecting my privacy. I am gender nonconforming and on HRT. So with the current political atmosphere and the fact that it has enabled and encouraged hate speech and attacks, I’ll new to be more careful on platforms that my identity is more prevalent.

    I’m not going to hide, as I’m not hiding by posting here. But I’m going to remove my data from corporate platforms that have connections to law enforcement and have poor security that insist on keeping my personal details. Can’t trust the federal government or any company, starting next year if the Project 2025 or Trump’s plan are truly put in place.

    I started learning how to make karaoke videos. Because the songs I like to sing are not readily available in karaoke format on YouTube.

    I made a channel for it and everything 😉 I’m getting ready to publish my 2nd video very soon.

    My goal is to try to do 1 song per month at a minimum. But, I do also have a day job and life stuff to juggle. So the YouTube channel is just a hobby.

      Oh hey, that’s really cool! A lot of the music I like to sing along to frankly isn’t popular enough to get the karaoke treatment

      How do you get started learning about that? Do you need a high quality source with a separate vocal track, or can you somehow isolate the vocals from a simple rip?

      Super cool hobby, good luck to you

    lowering my expectations

    hopefully, pretending to be straight or asexual; and being able to be happy without friends, as these will be needed survival skills

      Me too! I have a pile of broken or malfunctioning guns and I want to figure out each problem. Had dropped out of gunsmithing for the past year or two, want back in.

    I want to get better at deeply understanding people, which probably starts with getting better at listening

      What’s your preferred medium? Do you have a way to make art everyday? I feel stuck at times and learning about how and what other art interested people Do gives me ideas.
