What I’m doing now

This is a now page.

I’m still living in East Haven with my dog Milo. Been focusing mostly on my mental health, reparenting myself, and related things. Practicing meditation, yoga, hiking, and just took up bouldering last month, and that’s been a lot of fun.

I’ve been leaving the house a lot more to spend time around people. Covid pushed me into a pattern of isolation that has taken a lot of effort to break.

I’ve been going to a Unitarian Universalist congregation every Sunday. It’s basically church for non-believers and people of all faiths who value social justice, compassion, personal growth and environmental causes. Church-lite.

I bought a little “Network Attached Storage” (NAS) computer and made it into a media server. I’ve got a stupid amount of space on it, and I’ve downloaded an absurd amount of movies and tv shows and made my own Netflix/Disney+/yougetit. It’s allowed me to cancel all my streaming services, and I can share all the content with my friends and family, so it’s been a fun gift to those people. I’ve been listing movies I watch over on Letterboxd.

I also have a ton of audiobooks and ebooks on the server, so I’ve been really into reading and listening. I’m loosely tracking those things over on the Books page.

Online I mostly exist on Discord (@trostcodes) and Bluesky these days.
