    May 3, 2024 • ida deerz • cohost, technology, enshittification, capitalism, 3 more

    as technology becomes more enshittified and locked down by venture capitalists, it begs the question: am i becoming my parents? is my nostalgic appreciation for retro tech any different from theirs? will i become one of those "back in my day" people?

  • my fursona

    i have represented myself online through personified versions of myself for years now, but in 2021 after several human and deer-hybrid designs i finally decided to create a fursona.

    i used to be less confident at drawing anthro characters, so the original design was made by JezyJex . this design was very simple, but it changed a lot over the years with the help of artists such as TwoHeadedAnimal .

    nowadays, i tend to just make my own art. all my coverart is designed and drawn by me unless otherwise specified! their design also changes with each "era" of my music to reflect the styles and genres of my works.
