im emma celeste abitia and this is my blog. i’m a transfemme latina musician and photographer out of the emerald city. the one in the cascades.
in a former life i was the bassist and even further back the drummer for Unstoppable Force. we’re on spotify and apple music and all those places. my goal is to start playing live again at some point but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
blog title
the name Critical Point might be the only real leftover from pre-transition me’s blog aesthetics. i miss when blogs had distinct titles.
Critical Point is directly referencing the point in a nuclear reaction where the disable material “goes critical”, but is also a reference to my thought that we need to take a critical approach to media and the world at large. Critical does not have to be negative, or judgmental. It doesn’t have to have a bad connotation.
social media
i exist on the internets

blog tech
i’m fucking tired of running static site generators. i’m tired of Github Pages. this is running on WordPress. i am self hosting. you win WordPress you win.
theme is SMNTCS VT100
weird hobby shit
i’m really into film right now, and only going to become worse. i have an entire photography page here talking about that hobby more.
my guitar collection is growing quickly, each addition more cursed than the last. i make weird sounds with pedals, and sometimes normal music too. my last few years have been focused pretty hard on acoustic guitar, but im feeling that fixation slow
i picked up watch repair just as the tariffs decided to exist. so, not doing much with that until i know i can order some old Vostoks from Russia, but that is very much a thing i have picked up recently.
i’ve picked up sketching. i’m bad so don’t expect anything posted here about that for a long time, but it is nice to have a hobby im doing exclusively for me.
oh also i kinda like sewing now. who would have guessed.
