I'm posting more on my business social media @mythictexture.bsky.social. I need to become a professional yapper.
I don't know why close to 3k people follow me on my personal social media, it was not intentional. But when I try to gain followers intentionally on my business, the well runs dry.
"As the artist and writer of Capoeira: First Steps. I realize that when I switched to focusing on my art & writing full-time, I left a lot of my fitness & health behind. Capoeira was not really a fitness thing however. It was an art that I enjoyed practicing." - @akemiart.bsky.social
That's me!
That's me!

I did not realize that DaVinci Resolve was free. I'm off all Adobe products and I don't miss their software suite.
A very strange place.
