@kenSwinson love the bunny painting, and Buddy

@daj Thank you! Buddy has been a wonderful studio mate. My photo only shows off about 1/4th of the painting---hopefully you'll like it EVEN MORE after the big reveal!

@kenSwinson

I look forward to seeing and reading more! I do hope you find a rhythm that works well for you.

And I join the chorus of those who love the bunny painting!

@toddbuddy Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

@kenSwinson Lovely photographs and happy to hear you are thinking these thoughts. The bunny painting looks great. Thanks for sharing and don't worry about the writing frequency, just do what feels fun.

ken Tucky Swinson

@t36s thank you! If i don't post on a regular schedule, My goal is to post twice a week-that should be enough to make the habit stick.

I've noticed that' now that I'm on the lookout for interesting things. There are lots of interesting things around me that I can write about! I took a walk during a snow shower today and can't wait to write about and share the pictures!

@kenSwinson Yet another person who loves the bunny painting!

And I'm sad to hear you felt you the need to be mistake-free when posting to social media, and that it made you feel like you were performing.

But I totally support you moving to blogging if that works better for you.

ken Tucky Swinson

@jeridansky Thank you! I don't want to make you feel sad. It just felt like, while participating in creator culture for almost 2 decades, I'd feel increasing pressure to perform---to the point i lost part of myself chasing the algorithm. The happy thing is Mastodon has been a lifeline-with a much healthier culture. I believe in Mastodon, and don't plan to leave anytime soon.

My goal is to get away from META products-I'm down to logging in only one day each week.

Jeri Dansky

@kenSwinson Oh, this is reassuring! Moving away from META sites and staying here on Mastodon are both are things I applaud!
