Thinking today about the time I took a graphic novel class & the professor made a point to say he didn't include Persepolis because it was too much like her mentor's work to be worth reading. Pretty sure no other women were included on the reading list, either.

I learned today for the first time that my teeth are supposed to be open when I'm resting. I'm trying to do this. My tongue feels extremely vulnerable.

"I'm totally in favor of trans athletes in high school," he said. "I think when you understand the vulnerability, the stress, the danger of being a trans kid, and you understand that almost half of them try to commit suicide. And then you think we're going to punish those kids.

I'm going to see Hokum today & am feeling very nervous, very sweaty. My sibling said she reacted so intensely to the jump scares it was like she was being electrocuted, & one of my braver horror movie buddies said she covered her eyes & crunched up like a shrimp at some points. I am: worried.

A very merry Independent Bookstore Day to all who celebrate! Hello from Iron Dog Books in Vancouver 👋

I ran a 10k in what can only be described as Sensory Nightmare Circumstances today. You better believe I'm gonna be prone.

It's nice to be home alone sometimes. Today I accidentally wore my Christmas shorts & my Hallowe'en shirt & that weird little coincidence has gone unobserved by anyone but me & the cats. I'm Nightmare Before Christmassing

My partner is in Tokyo & it feels to me like she's in space. It's Saturday evening here. It's Sunday afternoon there. This is beyond the pale

I did get fooled today: my sibling sends me a report from her astrology almanac every morning. Today she said there would be a void moon until 12:01, then the moon would be in Libra until 12:04, & then another void moon until 6:32, & then the moon would be in Capricorn. I was shaken to my very core.

There should be more days when I get to nap in a sunbeam with my cat.

I was on the train feeling grumpy as hell about 4 consecutive people who disrespected my personal space, but then my audiobook said "the sun was just beginning to set" at the same time I was looking at the sun beginning to set & everything is okay now 🙂‍↕️✨

I'm running the same 5k this year & now there are prizes for the top 3 nonbinary runners & I'm going to be so embarrassed if my slow as fuck chubby self has to go up & claim a prize 🕯️more nb runners this year🕯️

Yesssss I had so much fun at this game & saw so many ppl I know !!! 💅 ✨

Daily bunny no.3233 rides into the sun

Trying this for the first time! Mechanical pencil on little slips of library paper. #hourlycomicday

Me: are my leopard print bike shorts too strange for pickleball open play? Will no one want to play with me due to my Loud Shorts? Also me: 100 tattoos & a mullet

Picked up one of my favourite records today! We're trying to keep it to one new record each per month so we don't, idk, go bankrupt & run out of storage space or something

A very perfect sunbeam on a rainstormy day. Happy imbolc to all who celebrate ⛅️

Spread the cult of knife by asking your local library to order "let's get burgers" TODAY! remember it with the helpful acronym LGB... T! or if your library already has it you should check it out, because it is the best

gonna need defeatists to stfu i s2g 😡

I have been slowly accumulating Animal Crossing Lego & have suddenly become fixated on completing all of it. My favourite is this tiny Celeste set 💖

It's winter outside, but it's a lovely autumn day in here!

can I call in sick to work because my hands are dry & crackly as fuck, or...?

This is a cartoon about housing.

Finally!

Daily whine: I hate getting up before sunrise, especially when it's raining. Really feels like I just can't possibly do it for a solid 30 minutes.

Miaou, bisou 💕 a silly doodle pour toi #illustration #procreate

Half Lynch, half Christmas... which might perfectly represent the vibe of the last week of the year? #LastFourWatched

I hope 2026 is kind to us all

The fog has returned, & I hope it'll stick around tomorrow morning so I can go for a little fog walk. Maybe I'm off my hinges, but I have a good feeling about 2026. May it be a kinder year, & may I be a kinder lad.

heart's feeling really full of hope & happiness & love for people today, idk. there's sun & fog & I just watched somebody give up their seat on the train & I'm listening to some great music & I think some good stuff could happen.

Help, I feel strangely content & I don't know what it means! ... wait a second. It's because I have a cat on my lap & just became a Tyee supporter! So my advice for perfect contentment is I guess to have a cat (or other animal) & to give some money away.

On a day when I have so far eaten nothing but nachos, I have been invited to a vegan restaurant with a menu so beautiful I want to cry. Good things CAN happen!

An unforeseen problem with my hummingbird feeder: it's too popular. I make the best hummingbird nectar in town. Hummingbirds are chasing each other away. I have added a second hummingbird feeder. I can already see this getting out of hand.

A perfect 20 stars. Merry Christmas to me! #LastFourWatched

Had those three Christmas ghosts pop up but they just said I should stay cool

A weird thing about having family in a time zone 4 hours ahead of me is: I just talked to them on the phone & they were kinda tired & sleepy & ready for bed, & now I feel kinda tired & sleepy & ready for bed, but it's 7:30pm here. I have my whole life ahead of me.

Hoping you all have a warm, light filled Longest Night from my little family to yours

I'm going to be home alone for 3 weeks & this is basically what I will be allowing to happen 👀

I may have liked Wake Up Dead Man a little bit. #LastFourWatched

🧵Today in therapy: I have been so, so angry so often this year, partly because I want to avoid feeling sad. Anger is active. Anger can do things. My therapist & I have personified the anger as like, a hell-panther. It's badass! It takes action! It fights! There are good reasons & times to invoke the

i have so much to do but my brain is like

I'm a big book-giver for birthdays & holidays, & I have never read a book I could recommend more widely than this one. For fans of "Dad rock," but also for fans of music. For queer & trans friends, but also for friends feeling uncertain & contemplating big change. For just about anyone who reads!

The absolute indignity of being invited to a Christmas party on the same day as my birthday party is exactly why I haven't had a birthday party in over 10 years. (Apart from this, I thoroughly enjoy being a December Sagittarius who gets all their major presents of the year in a 1-week period.)

My contribution to the annual Homemade Secret Santa was a holiday pickleball (with 2 additional hats so he can be a man of all seasons). I just recently learned how to felt & I love it!
