david wolfpaw • 1 Jun 2025 • Reading time: 4 minsI want to make videos again. I want to write more. I want to do it all!
This isn’t a new idea, not even to this newsletter. It’s just something that I think of a lot. I want to do so many things and then I think about how I’m going to be able to do them all, and get to doing about none of them 
I know that’s not true. I do complete some things! I work on even more things! But I also feel like I’m spinning my wheels a lot. It gets me to spending most of my time thinking about projects, coming up with new ideas for said projects, and imagining how it’ll be when I’ve released such projects.
This week I’ve made some progress on a few projects. I did some sewing, started some new sticker designs, and did some coding. Not enough of any of them, never enough of any of them. But still, progress is progress and should be celebrated!
Celebrate your progress, for it is yours.

Some parts of culture are socially acceptable to build platforms around, but some not. Why do we continue to act like adult content is not consumed by adults in great numbers?
Both parts are good, both parts are disgusting because of course even the people who come up with harmful frameworks don’t even believe in or care about the causes or outcomes of them.
No really, they aren’t just selling Flavor-Aid, they’re drinking it as well.
Telling folks that they should log off and go to “the real world” is so tone deaf in a technological society in 2025.
If you made it this far, why not share this newsletter with a friend? Or share with me some of the things that you found that you liked this week. Either way, I’m thrilled!
