People are mad at me about this.
First, I cannot imagine ever in my life saying "Aim for the moon so if you miss you hit a star." I just...I can't figure out any circumstance where those words would leave my mouth. It's 2025 not a 1992 after school special. But maybe I said it...if I did it /must/ have been sarcastic.
I have however many times advised people that even though formal education can cost a huge amount of money, it's easy to forget that there are other ways of spending money to learn. Trying to execute a personal project is worth spending money just like paying for school is because project-based learning kicks ass. That can cost an order of magnitude less than a semester of college and will deliver skills you just won't get otherwise.
Student loans won't pay for it, unfortunately, but if you can do it, I think it's a good thing to keep your mind open to even though society can make you feel like it's foolish. I learned a lot spending money on things that failed. In a country where people spend $150B on sports bets last year, "spend some money trying to do something interesting" is a message I hope a lot of people hear.
If you'd like some examples of projects like this I spent money on:
1. I got a website and domain and tried to build a tool to build databases out of email surveys.
2. I bought $500 of PBR and threw it to people tubing by in the Clark Fork River because I wanted to make a video about it but this was before YouTube and I didn't know how to edit video. Made a lot of people happy, though.
3. I paid for translations of an unreleased anime so that a small team including myself could subtitle it.
4. I bought a dying website for $800 from a person who didn't think it had any opportunity and then I worked really hard to discover they were right.
5. I hired a dev to work with me on a website that let people review and rank hosting services to try and get affiliate income. I think this one turned a profit but barely.
OK, I hope that all provides some useful context.
It's been a year, but I was finally able to donate a large portion of the proceeds from the plush toy campain to an organization that helps stray cats (among other causes).
3000€ (around $3483,56) goes to @tierschutz_bund a German Animal Welfare Federation. Thank all of you!
We have been loving seeing the Stardew Valley community bringing out so many amazing cosplays for the Symphony of Seasons concerts! Seeing the community get together, both in cosplay and out, sharing their love for their favorite characters has been one of our favorite things about this tour ❤️ Who else is planning to come in cosplay? We can’t wait to see!
Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.
Shameless self-promotion but hey.
I love to yap into the void, and if you like random things that make me happy you are welcome to listen.
And ngl I'm gonna use it as a little journal for happiness so I don't forget the good moments.
I told the goodwill worker I was gonna smash up some plates for a mosaic and she said with full earnestness “I hope they break into the perfect shapes” 🥺
