Hey, guys its a new year! This month of January has been slow and meditative. A great journey for me to relax and build up my energy to do more personal projects. Im really excited where I want to take Thrift Store Radio this year, and Flutespell.com in general.
There are so many fun things to do and experiences I have planned and I cant wait to show them to you. Keep coming back every month for more updates and new artworks! Ill be here for a long time and I hope you will too <3

This is the last day of 2024. I've done a lot this year thanks to amazing people in my life inspring me to push myself and test my limits. And it has been really fun to go and make this little website on a whim 3 days before I started school in August.
I feel like 2024 was just a build up to whats really going to start happening in 2025. There are so many oppertunites set up for me in this last year and all I can do is come into the new year swinging full of hope and ideas. Ive got great creative partners all around me
and im so glad I can foster the relationships necessary to have this support. If you are unsure about where to go in this new year focus on the energy you put out. A late resolution of mine was to foster community and meet new people, which has really
changed how I view my art and my actions in the world. In an ever detreimental electronic landscape the most we can do is make connections with the people around us, and interact in the real world. So thats my challenge for you. My challenge for myself
is to stop using my smart phone. Im entering this new year with a flip phone and an MP3 player. I want to ground myself away from the algorithms and applications fighting for my life. And so far its been really pleasent. I hope you
all have an amazing new year. Spend time with people you love, and I'll see you on the next Thrift Store Radio.

I have had a very wild November so far, and it will continue to be wild all the way until the very end. From finals ramping up in school to my best friend moving to Utah there is so much I have been processing and balancing. And I am very thankful for all of these things.
I know what it is to live and to have so many things I care about be so prominent in my life. School is rough and I'm so glad I can finish it soon. I have learned so much there but its time for me to take a break and explore my options freely.
I'm so greatful that today November twenty third I get to fly out to Texas and support my friend in a giant move as she travels from Texas to Utah. This is something I've been hoping for for a long time and I'm so glad I can support her in this. I have
so many amazing things in my life and the fact that I can squeeze in this little radio show is so amazing. Thank you all for listening, and I'll be working on an Archive for the show next month hopefully so keep an eye out.

I've felt a lot this month. Off and on feelings and it all comes back to my art and wishing I had more time for it. I think after this semester I will stop going to college atleast for a little while. The summer was great and I want to chase that and the productivity I had for my art. I love this idea I have here with this website and I hope I can bring it to a more physical space, and actually finish coding it. I love the outlet it is and how fun of a project it has become. Im grateful for anyone who takes a look at my little website and my radio show. I put a lot of work into it and im really greatful. I love you, have a great rest of your week.

Im about a month into school now and I havn't had a whole lot of time to work on the website. Im slowly mapping out the gallery space I want to make, and a more fleshed out Thrift Store Radio Archive. Other than website stuff ive been doing lots of
projects and school, aswell as attending more local band shows and community events in my area. There are lots of great bands here in Provo, and lots of great queer spaces too. If you havnt I highly reccomend getting out of your comfort zone and fining
events near you, especially if you're queer, tapping into the local communtiy is a magical experience and its a great time! Im hoping to bring that sort of feeling here eventually, an online community space. Lets see where that ambition takes us lol.

Just finished the about page, and started work on a larger gallery space, working it into the navigation bar. I probably wont have it done for a while though.
I want this gallery to be a really cool part of the website so I need to; #1 plan out the design and artwork of the gallery, and #2 figure out how to code
it, because it is a little ambitious. Very excited for it though I think it will be a great addition.

Dropped off Thrift Store Radio August at the DI. Also found 20 more Jewel CD cases for $5 at the DI.
This will be perfect for even more physical versions of the radio show. Always keeping my eye out for cheap material for projects LOL.
