Wicked: for Good
I knew this would happen, first of all and most OBVIOUSLY... it's not "wicked for good" it's "Wicked: for Good" punctuation means something. Secondly, what makes Elphaba actually Wicked? What does she DO that is actually evil? Tell me you don't know what you're talking about even harder because you clearly did not even google search the thing you are talking about at all, this is so stupid

Stop Renting Your Tools
I have a rule. It’s simple, non-negotiable, and has saved me hundreds of dollars a year. If an app, service, or (heaven forbid) a physical product charges a monthly fee for its basic function, I immediately uninstall it and find an alternative.

Human Bandwidth Crisis
Across the continental United States, synchronized slowdowns are being recorded in two parallel systems: human motor behavior and digital network performance. The symptoms appear ordinary at first glance — drivers idling through green lights, app interfaces hesitating, signals buffering — yet the frequency and simultaneity indicate a broader malfunction.

Post Cosplay Life: One Year Later
October 27, 2024: a date that I'll always remember forever. If you're new to Vocal or my page, welcome aboard. After 10 years of doing cosplay, I made the decision to retire from this wonderful craft. I loved meeting so many people on social media and at conventions. Not only that, but I loved showing off my cosplays to everyone. I participated in many cosplay contests, winning two of them. So why did I decide to walk away from the thing that I enjoyed so much, you ask? Three reasons were deciding factors in making this decision: the almost three-year absence of me not attending cons, the tragic passing of my grandfather back in 2022, and experienced signs of burnout. I attended my first con in nearly three years in late September 2022, then attended my final two conventions in 2024 before closing out my decade-long cosplay journey. I didn't see myself cosplaying well into 2025 and beyond, because I wanted to seek and pursue other interests and hobbies. 10 years was a really good run, but I want to explore new things that I always wanted to try. For example, I've always had a huge fascination with photography. My amazing experiences with cosplay photographers at and outside of cons made me curious to try this skill. I had a digital camera over 15 years ago while I was attending college, but I ended up losing it. Now, I'm eager to learn how to be skilled in taking picture perfect photographs. My ultimate goal is to photograph at fan conventions and possibly do cosplay photoshoots somewhere down the road.
