Colourful skirt kind of day

I do wonder when the trend of dumb novelty popcorn boxes is gonna die like all the weird commemorative cups from my childhood did. Though I do remember we had some of those old Batman Forever cups for *years* as a kid

I really should pick up some sewing needles for stretch stuff and do something with stretch sometime just to see how hard it is 😅

Smoke got me walking up like I'm at a house full of cats. Just itchy eyes and runny nose from the get

Turns out the pleated skirt I made isn't super heavy fabric wise and now I'm Marilyn Monroe-ing it every time there's a good breeze 😅 note to self pleats on 270g/m is not as weighty as you'd think

Ran into an internet tech from my provider and it turns out it was fucking Bell running their fibre lines and just fucking up the lines for my provider because the big 2 are Assholes so now my Internet is down until they can figure that out

My Internet has shitted itself all day so now I'm at "open a ticket with my Internet provider" levels

Red & Green & Green

In retrospect it's kind of funny I started going to Anime conventions not because I watched much anime (I didn't watch a ton until my 20s) but because I crossplayed the first time I went and it became my annual opportunity to be a girl for a day/weekend

Looking at the online smoke map and a surprising amount of Canada is on fire right now

It's annoying I am being advertised sewing patterns from online shops but I have to verify they're not AI slop *and* that they aren't stolen and resold because both of those are common online

God it smells like a campfire going outside right now.

Air quality today is even worse than yesterday so we're scrambling a little to figure out an indoor alternative as a backup for the kid's birthday Sunday if the air quality is too bad to use the picnic site we rented

My 4 year old whenever he's taking a shit and he calls for one of us to come see it

In the office today

My plan to bike to the office today was foiled by wildfire smoke it seems as I probably shouldn't bike 22km in a day with air quality like this

Alright internet yea or nay on this dress I wear infrequently?

I kind of threw this top into my last purchase on a whim cause I needed another thing to get a 30% off deal but it's kind of growing on me for being a silhouette that's underrepresented in my clothes

Alright even if you think you can clock what I'm into by looking at one of my accounts on social media it is *weird as shit* to try to immediately dynamic when we've never interacted before 😅 Especially on Tumblr of all places

It's still fucking wild that the UK has enshrined transphobia as a protected belief that nobody is allowed to question but actually being trans is actually not protected even slightly and in fact they can discriminate. Like the exact opposite of the point of human rights legislation

Sweaty Rock Climber girl hours

It's been like a year since I climbed but I still managed to flash a 5.9 incline so go me

By the way I went shopping today so I guess preview of some of the pieces I bought which will show up in my selfies sooner or later 🤭

Looks like I got a torch burnt out on the river yesterday despite multiple sunscreen applications 😅

Zodiac Palette is kind of pretty but not entirely my vibe 🤭

Choosing to read this in a time travel clone fucking kind of way

Pisces: You finally settle on a retirement and savings plan, and that plan is “fuck my future self.”

Ready for Ladies Kayak Trip 2026 💪

Very nostalgic in Kitchener-Waterloo seeing stuff like the train station I used to come to every weekend when I'd visit my wife at school or the bus depot where I'd begin my trek home for the 7 months I visited every weekend until we moved in together after graduation

I am getting a lot of use out of this dress this summer but it really is good for a hot day

Trying to decide if this or getting my deadname in my notifications is more startling 😅 it's uncommon enough I don't run into it on the regular but common enough that it's not never

Leave eldest at the playground cause she doesn't want to go back and her younger brother does, so I tell her to stay there while I walk him home to my wife and come back. (5-10 minutes) On my way back she's zooming back to meet me "I got lonely" Tiny extrovert 😅

Getting jump scared being followed by an account named "{father's first name} {last name initial}" Thankfully my dad has not in fact followed my account which remains blessedly free of family members seeing what I get up to

I have inherited a crop top from my friend

Also not to make everyone think my whole family is being weird my cousins etc are chill and my mom's response to hearing about the situation was to crack a joke about how my dad should get over himself so he doesn't have any regrets on his deathbed and then cracked a joke about when that's coming 😅

All the outside time this week has been putting a bit more color into my skin 😅

Every time a cis person gets heated the pronouns come out

Wife has already begun hunting down replacement venues for the kid's birthday party and I had to convince her to not immediately book a replacement less than 24 hours after talking to my sister because "okay fine the party isn't at your house anymore" unilaterally feels like a needless provocation

My sister is getting all conflict avoidant now about hosting my kid's birthday at her house like every year now because my dad is having his little cold war shitfit (I haven't heard from him since we got disinvited from the grandparent's place) and she doesn't know how to handle my kid

And the ride home, which was more uphill (Thanks Toronto!)

Decided it feels like a good day to bike to the dentist

When my own posts show up in the discover feed on my alt even though I don't follow myself from my alt 😅

Taking a picture to make a point and getting jumpscared by my own back muscles

Okay if anyone sees me spelling stuff the American way (Neighbor instead of neighbour, color vs Colour etc) please call me out before I get caught 🤭

Bratting too close to the sun 😖

Off for a day of berry picking with the family

Being in tech is kind of exhausting cause you just see endless takes like "if you work with HTTP requests you should write a web server to b really understand them" & it seems like the running assumption is you have no hobbies, social life or obligations to your family so you can do endless projects

A couple of dudes have said I have a cute dog the last few days when I was walking my dog and I'm torn whether they are just genuinely complimenting my dog or if this is specifically a socially acceptable in to say hi to a girl in the neighborhood

Sunset on my first day of vacation
