hi, welcome to your monthly charlie update just to let you know that i'm alive and have a soul. this month was super eventful for me, and summer is only going to continue to be more eventful i think. i have so much to share with you all, so strap in!
the first third of this month was dedicated to me preparing for the arrival of my internet buddy, rabbit! he's the second internet friend i've ever met and we decided to hang out for a week starting on the 15th so we could celebrate our birthdays together since they're a day apart! i got to drag him around and do so much. for the most part we stayed in my state, showing him around to different little shops and places to eat and parks and whatnot. it was such a fun time! i've written him a letter as well and i'm gonna pack in a little card of my guy sebastian in there as well just for good measure. i can't wait for him to come back up here because there's still more stuff that i didn't get an opportunity to show him (i ran out of time). he said he still really enjoyed it though and is definitely coming back to visit me, which makes me very happy.
i've also spent this time applying for jobs. in particular i'm looking to work at a library, but something that i've been noticing that doesn't make any sense to me is the fact that so many of these positions require/prefer a whole bachelors degree, even if they're entry level, minimum wage positions. it just sort of gives the energy that "calmer" jobs are being paywalled for the boomers, which is wildly upsetting to me. like seriously, what the hell is a bachelors in library science even for? it just sounds like an excuse to send a young person into debt or just as a deterrent for them to apply. even then there's a lot of cronieism in modern day employment which (i don't have to explain to young people) can be very discouraging. i'll still keep trying, though!
though this is the most important announcement - i'm now officially starting writing on my webcomic, ghost harem! i will be posting biwieekly minicomics starting june 2nd, the first sunday in june. i've never done webcomic stuff before let alone posting on a semi-consistent basis, so please be nice to me about it. i will probably not post on time every time exactly, but i will try my very best!! the mini comics will serve as a low-stakes interest check. if people are charmed by my guys i'll put my full effort into writing the full ghost harem script. the comics are going to be posted to cohost, bluesky, tumblr, and here on my website. i hope that for those of you who are familiar you're excited, cus i'm super hype. for those of you who have no clue who my guys are, i really hope you give them a shot.
okay, i think i got it all out of my system. thank you for reading if you did!! i hope your day is beautiful.
