Today I figured out how to consistently bunny hop on my bike! This has been a longstanding goal, so I'm really excited about it. I can only do it while stationary, but a step is a step.

Also, I got a new phone. I'm kinda sad to retire my samsung s21 ultra, but I tragically dropped it and had the screen shatter. I now have a Pixel 9a. So far, it's pretty nice! I do wish that the stock launcher came with folders in the app drawer. I'm using lawnchair instead, and while it's got it's quirks, it works pretty well! I do also miss the samsung animated lockscreen, because I had a really sick animation I made of some swirling colors. I did feel like the setup process was a little hostile to new users - I don't think I'd recommend a pixel to an older relative. The default quick settings menu is super confusing, and generally, there's just a lot of random floating text everywhere.

I also got my first tattoo and it was really fun! It didn't hurt that that bad and it looks awesome. Now to break it to my kinda conservative (not politically at least) folks lmao.

Anyway aside from that, I've got a paper I'm cooking up and I'm just itching to talk about it publicly. That's all for this post!
