a long overdue drop for you guys - damn it is humbling how many of you guys stuck with me through this drought. put together this set to basically get back in practice since it's been so long, then i have some very late commissions to work on - hope you guys enjoy! have a bit of an explainer below but TL;DR hustling like crazy to make it all work out.

im alive guys!!
i've been working nonstop from when i wake up to when i go to bed, trying to figure out how to keep things moving.
when i first started creating, i had a decent job and creating was something i was able to pour so much time into because i knew i could manage month to month. now, ironically, AI nuked the job i had, and my primary field (data engineering / analytics) is straight up not hiring right now because of AI.
so, when i learned that my contract was winding down, i knew finding another job would be brutally hard, but i also knew i had an app i had been casually working on that could potentially be a lifeline.
well as it turns out, even if you make a decent piece of technology, it's a whole 'nother ball game to get it out there let alone make any money - so i've been focused on trying to get marketing going but more crucially looking for grants, business loans, etc.
so yeah im pretty much in permanent overdrive, but the thing is, i still want to create 24/7. that is literally all i actually want to do, and that's even why my app (sweet tea studio) exists in the first place. and i'll just never stop because it's basically the #1 way i enjoy spending my time - i'm just in a precarious position where i can no longer go "ok i will work X hours this week and i can spend the rest creating" it's more like "i can't afford to waste any time at all in making progress on making this app work out".
so that being said, being able to do a set every 3-5 days, i hope i can do that, but right now priorities are just hella tough.
