*taps mic* This thing on?

Let's try one more time on this. I've missed the LJ format of being able to post pretty much since I left that platform, over a decade ago, and yet I never managed to transition to over here. Never really tried very hard. But I talk less and less to people, I post less and less to places, I end up being less and less visible to the world.

Which isn't necessarily bad. If it's a choice. But I don't like that it's not feeling like a choice, that it feels based in fear and anxiety. It feels like being house-bound did, only on the internet.

So. Here, in this quiet place, I want to see if I can get back some of that use-of-voice. Not in a miracle, New Years Resolution kind of way. In a, I've been thinking about this for a few years, maybe I'm in a time and place I can see if it works.

(And battling my isolation online is less dependent on my physical health than in-person.)

I may not post again for another seven, eight years (seems to be the pattern here), but maybe I will.

Time to try.

Also, I need to start recording my migraines somewhere. Even if I just do that for a while, here, that's a win.

Hi. I'm Hawky. If you've found me, odds are good you already know me. If not... hi! I'm an artist, geek, craftsperson, and lots of other things. Tired, mostly, right now. I like pirates, books, queer shit, history, and wool. Maybe not in that order.

At some point in the near future, I'll figure out things like backing up posts from my tumblr to over here, more importantly bringing over notes and half-finished pieces from my drafts folder, things like that.

Mass-changing the privacy setting from the 2011 and older posts to something more stringent bc... ha I want my original username without the high school drama stapled to the back of it. That's what facebook and my legal name are for. But I still want to be able to f-lock posts if I'm gonna use a platform that has the setting available, y'know?

So.

'Til next time.

Placeholder, I guess. Hi, I ain'tn't dead yet.
