Working on my next short film: "Don't Worry, We Love You" Based on the story ILU-486, by Amanda Ching, my sister, here: tinyurl.com/2na6syue "In the not-so-distant future of Virginia, the Personhood Act has outlawed abortion and chemical birth control. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist, though."

Not a fan of the monthly challenges. I'd rather focus on my learning where *I* need to. But here we are.

Been slacking lately. I should catch up to where I was before the last update.

Imagine winding down in bed listening to a podcast and not only do they say your name, but they also read your question! So now I'm awake. 😅 Thanks @johnaugust.bsky.social that was helpful. (Still not seducing anyone anytime soon)

Been studying Mandarin Chinese for over 3½ years. I mostly use Duolingo. It's not a perfect app, but the best thing is how easy it is to practice. Looking back, being able to quickly practice over and over again really helps the language stick.
