Hey, everyone!
I'm Kay, a soon-to-be 35-year-old art hobbyist and part-time retail burnout (they/them)!
I lived on Forums and the slightly less immediate-feeling chatrooms of 1999-2009 era, so I am very excited to settle in to being more present around here. I just also have a major attention span/memory issue, and forming the steps to get accustomed to being in a place may take me some time, haha. If you are on other platforms like Tumblr, Twitter or Pillowfort, I am the Kayzig handle on those as well!
Sometimes I can be incredibly quiet, both online and offline, so even if I am not always super engaging I am always happy to lurk around!

Happy to meet you! I can relate to wanting to get accustomed to a new space. Look forward to checking out your work ! I haven't been to Tumblr in ages, so perhaps time to dust it off...

Yes, welcome!! Ah, I have a similar attention span issue. For example, I made a pillowfort account and used it for a while before completely forgetting it exists. Ahh. Thank you for reminding me... hehe. Maybe I can post about this place there. I'm really glad to have people here who remember/miss forums. I really do appreciate the lack of immediacy, as you said, and the fact that isn't really like social media. We aren't going to go viral here, just chill. xd

Lovely to meet you! From what I've seen I think most of us miss "the good old days of the internet" (whatever they were)... but which I think also means that we're maybe a bit more patient than what's the tempo of current apps.

Hi Kay! Good to meet you- I just followed you on Tumblr and I'm excited to see more of your work!
Can I just say I'm loving how low-stakes all these intro posts are? Just like "hi, I'm here, no expectations, we're all tired, here's my art"? It's so good, and it goes right along with what you're saying about how FAST everything seems like it has to happen now. Not here for that. Slow art, slow socializing. Nice to have a new person to watch. <3
