Trumpet update: I've now had three lessons, and yesterday my teacher also gave me the book he used to use for beginners, and it's super. I can play whole notes from the A below middle-C and up to the C above middle-C.
Yesterday I learnt B-flat.
Teacher: So now you know your first flat!
Me: Yes! And it's B-flat, which is my favourite flat.
Teacher: ...is it?
It then occurred to me that not everyone has favourite flats? Surely that's not the case!
This May Come in Handy
13 seconds?! Impressive!

@poledance‼️‼️MOTIVATION MONDAY: This might be a hot take, I’m not sure. But I’ll always advocate for being a lifelong learner. No one - and I mean ABSOLUTELY no one - knows *everything there is to know about dance or pole dancing*. Learning new things is important and tbh I really don’t trust any poler - no matter how long they’ve been dancing for or how advanced they are - that isn’t continually learning and trying new things. That’s red flag city! In addition, fuck ups are important. Screw ups and mistakes are valid reflections of our learning. POST THEM! Everyone makes mistakes; if you don’t, you aren’t truly learning! What are your thoughts on this?

Two minis I did in class today. I love it that students aren't painting the same photo; in fact we are not even looking at a photo.

Gouache fun continues. Only three colors (red, yellow, blue) and white are used in these, and color mixing magic fascinates me; I don't have that luxury with pastel. They are both supposed to be more gray, but when I try they come out in greens or violets. Richard K. Blades (on Instagram) is a great teacher.

I’m attempting #AdventOfCode this year! 🎄✨ To make things even more challenging (and fun?), I’m tackling it in a new language. Feels a bit like being back in school 🧑💻 #AdventOfCode2024 #LearningNewThings
Loved painting on this textured linen with its lovely revealed edges.. However, building the gesso up a bit more in the painted area so it could be smoothed down to an eggshell smooth surface would have served the painting method used much better I think..

New year, new introduction!
Hi! I’m Bek. I’m here to find real people who I vibe with. I’m one of those ADHD types who has a vast array of hobbies and interests, so I’ll try to capture the salient points in hashtag form:

Super excited that I have finally signed up for an ASL class starting in January! I’ve always wanted to learn because I felt drawn to the language, much like I felt drawn to other, non-sign, languages in the past. I get a lot of fulfilment from learning something new that I’m interested in. But it’s more than just that. I also want to be able to talk to Deaf and HoH people in their language, whether that’s in a social context, with random strangers, or in a work-related situation. I also look forward to learning more about Deaf culture which will hopefully enable me to be even more inclusive in everything I do and actively make projects I’m involved with more welcoming to Deaf/HoH people among others.

"Introduction to Climbing" class was great fun. My only problem was letting go of the wall to descend on an automatic belay device. It has to detect a sudden rapid pull to work so you have to just let go. However when the instructor encourages me with "Trust the machine. Let go." my brain laughs. I've been through too many failed software and system updates to trust a machine!
