#Year2024 #successes:
The city of #SanDiego removed the old lines/poles and undergrounded the wires after starting the project 10 years after it was supposed to start.
I’m counting it. Fight me.
#Year2024 hasn’t been without it’s #successes:
I stopped doing speed.
Redesigned website.
I sold art work through high-touch contact on my website.
I’ve moved away from art prints to large canvas paintings.
Took part in several group shows & sold art at one opening night.
One group show at a gallery has yielded tbd one-man art show.
Reconnected w/ my youngest sister, wading through/defeating family lies to get to the truth.
Started designing coffee table book of work.
My kittens turned one!
If you're wanting to discuss a particular year, you might have noticed that number-only hashtags don't work on here.
To get round this, a lot of people use the word "year" before the number, for example #Year2024 or #Year2025
(By the way, there is a discussion about this issue on Mastodon's Github page at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/9709)
As it's the end of 2024, I've done a playlist of some nice interesting videos published on PeerTube this year. You can watch the playlist at:

2024 - me
I did this, sort of a year end greeting card. It's my first linocut. It was really fun!! I'm going to do more block printing in the future.
Sometimes I think we live in especially horrific times but maybe it's more that I had hoped we humans were better than this by now and it turns out we aren't (yet). I still have to go to work and buy groceries and cut my hair. I've been more conscious of Love this year.
