Realizing I've hooked up with 5 people because of bluesky which is infinitely more than I have ever met via a dating app because apparently reply Girling is the most effective way 🤭

When your deadname is close enough to words that your swipe auto complete tries to put your deadname into your sentences

When 2 friends break up after like 12 years together and then you have one over for Christmas and a few days later the other reaches out to catch up. Like dang getting all the angles

Margaret Atwood once angrily retweeted me because I was complaining about her being a NIMBY lamenting that they'd turn her house into a condo building after she was dead, because frankly her NIMBY Annex friends would probably get her house next to 2 subway lines designated "heritage" instead

Every time I hear a mom talk about their calm children it's like "why couldn't one of mine have been that" but I suppose this is the penance I get for also being on obnoxiously high energy 😭

Morning Bluesky

I don't start the class on sewing for another week but ADHD waits for no girl so I was like "fuck it, seams like a good time to practice" and make myself a little bag for my fountain pen to hang out in

Manipulating the tumblr algorithm to get content I want (searching the same tag 3 times until it's in my feed)

Instagram stop advertising tucking underwear to me, I do not need it 😂

Hair refreshed, maximum Emily achieved etc etc

Hair salon day!

Why can't my kids sleep in 😭 I can't keep running on 6 hours of sleep every night

Ooo new Line 1 specific subway maps!

Snow plow apparently decided "fuck pedestrians, they don't need a sidewalk" this year

Strained my neck at some point last night and now it hurts a little if I need to move my neck around(particularly noticeable getting up from lying down and raising my head)

I bought a rotary blade and cutting board and I tested it out on some felt and it was so satisfying to just *slice* and now I'm like *surely* there are more things I can slice with my new knife

This would definitely be me. Though my home town doesn't even have the charm of a small town being a soulless suburb 😅

Watching just the dumbest Christmas movie because why not

This is the 2nd Christmas where one of our housing complex neighbors has brought cookies to us with a picture of all 3 guys who live there and we're left to wonder what b exactly their relationship is, cause the picture and delivering the cookies together feels ambiguously Throuple-y

Braved the storm to buy some fabric etc so now I have no excuse not to practice and learn with my sewing machine 😅

Back out in the snow for boxing Day

*Talking about going bowling* My mom (referring to my old engraved bowling balls): it's too bad you don't still have your balls Everyone else in the room: *dies of laughter*

Wildest thing about my brother has to be that he lives downtown next to the subway line, and I live on the *same* subway line, and he's still carbrained enough to try spending 50 minutes getting his car working before resorting to the TTC instead of just hopping on the train first thing

Merry Christmas bluesky 🎄

"do you want to play bullet tag? You have to tag me with your hand, and I have to tag you with my gun"

The 6 year old keeps calling the Nerf gun a "nursery gun"

Got the best Christmas gift of all: the kids slept til 8, a desperately needed situation cause our company left at midnight last night 😂

Explain your username I'm Emily, but the first nickname I got from someone I cared about was Emmy so I've embraced that too. And .baby because I'm baby 👶

I don't know why but tumblr is suddenly showing me endless AI thirst traps from endless AI slop blogs and I keep blocking the blogs but there's always some new uninteresting perfect soulless woman clogging my feed 😭

It's pretty cute the way the 3 year old calls lollipops holypops

Favorite Pic of myself in 2025. This feels like a peak Emily aesthetic moment. Pencil skirt, burgundy, tight clothes, interplay of the tattoo with knee socks and skirt, my hair looks good. Would that I could look like this all the time 😂

Alright I was a little inspired and I don't start my evening sewing class until January but it was quiet enough an evening I could reread the insurrections on his to thread my machine & I got it set up to the point where I could do a little test stitch on a piece of felt we had lying around

Okay I just spent hours wrapping but I *think* that's everything

You’d think that Toronto in winter wouldn’t lend itself to a lot of plant nerd topics but we ID’d some warm season grasses (Schizachyrium scoparium! Panicum virgatum!), talked about pseudocereals, and rare thistle conservation. Back in NY with family now. Photos of a cutie and also me.

It's a little bit funny people meet me and are immediately like "This girl is *incredibly* bullyable"

Men, why do your hygiene products need to be packaged like they're going to war?

Shocked and awed to discover I can fit into size 11 boots at Winners, enabling me to purchase replacement boots in the face of a hole in the sole of mine

Slightly deranged woman tossed an Empty Tim Hortons cup at me and was generally aggressive on the subway, so that's fun this morning

Morning Bluesky ❤️

Look who made it up to Toronto! It's a crossover episode

One of my moots on here looks like the younger version of my mother-in-law and I will never tell you but it *is* a little jarring.

The Joy of discovering that the toy store having a liquidation sale also has a manga section and buying an entire stack (how do they still have a first vol. Yuri story when they're half of stock sold? Yuri magic, that's how)

Off to sneak in some Christmas shopping

Kind of love the energy of fabric store websites that feel 20 years out of date and have no interest in making it possible to find out what their inventory is without showing up and perusing. This shit is analog, if you're gonna sew something it's time to show up and *browse*

Alright crafting station really is a solid gift wrapping spot

Using my wine colored Palette tonight 😊

Love when my hair is a vibe on the night I've got a party to go to

Alright not actually giving this up to like nearly 2.5k followers but it's usually not hard to get it for people who I actually end up DMing a bit with 😅

I always feel dumb just benching the bar, but it's been 6 years and an entire transition and it feels like the responsible thing to do is progress up the weights and focus on form etc instead of trying to lift anything close to before

Alright back at squats (not looking forward to bend over row at all, that shit sucks)
