I seem to have baked pumpkin muffins again

Couch to 5K, COM-PLETE 🎉 🎉 🎉

Got some Ethiopian food with friends today! It was very yummy. 😋

US gov accounts are here to harass people, quote direct trouble blocklists interface can be a little counterintuitive if you're unfamiliar with them, because Subscribe understandably sounds like the opposite of what you'd want to do, but that's where the option is to block all. it's what I'm doing🥷🏼

I haven't seen one yet. But there is this for now: bsky.app/profile/raha...

You should block the MAGA government-created Bluesky accounts. Do not engage them. Do not give them a single scrap of what they want.

(using a list has the advantage that when/if? the gov returns to some semblance of sanity, you can easily reverse all the blocks / won't just kinda forget they're all blocked... but you know... "if")

😂

Omg this ad is amazing

Welp! In a fit of spontaneity, I booked myself a little trip to Iceland in less than two weeks. First international solo trip, never been to Iceland, very excited!

I baked cinnamon rolls this evening!

Finished off Couch to 5k Week 8 strong! 7:33/mile average running pace, haven’t sniffed that in a long while! One week left.🏃🏻

Took myself up into the Hudson Valley for a little afternoon adventure today!

We really need to stop with the self fulfilling "it's here to stay" prophecy, or the silly "if we don't use it others will" narrative... if my neighbor wants to chug bleach so be it, no FOMO on my side 🤷‍♀️

I had no choice but to bake another quiche and this might be my best one so far.

Tweaked my calf earlier in the week, but recovered and finished off Week 7 of Couch to 5k!

Baking pumpkin muffins helps make things a little better:

Protomen Act 3???

YEAHHH CUBS WIN, NLDS HERE WE COME

I've been playing Final Fantasy XIII-2 lately and I've reached the point in the game where I'm like, "oh. OH. Okay this is good." Also the OST is so good??

His life is so hard

Oh hey this would be a great time to get I Was A Teenage Exocolonist if you haven't played it 👀

Final Fantasy Tactics fanart I drew for the fffanthology zine

My morning commute is long, but man it’s pretty neat actually.

Just finished the last run of Couch to 5K week 6! Feels great to be getting back into running shape 🏃🏻

Impromptu Sunday stream! Playing Abzu for the first time: twitch.tv/brennemania (this gif isn’t from Abzu I just picked a random beach idk whatevs)

Happy Hades II day!! I have some fanmerch for Melinoë and Nemesis in my shop! Clear vinyl stickers, art prints, and an acrylic charm for Melinoë 👀 I've had the Melinoë sticker on my phone for almost two years now and it still looks amazing 😌 www.etsy.com/shop/ArtbyMe... #hades2

Using genAI for creative endeavors is insane to me. Why the fuck would I want anything to do with something that cuts out the joy of making things and destroys artists' livelihoods? To say nothing of the environmental and socioeconomical harms from burning up the resources required for this shit.

I am a responsible adult and certainly doing my job during working hours, but I would much rather be staring at the weird language in Tunic and trying to decipher it with only my brain… 🦊 ⚔️

I’m feeling less tired than I’ve been the last few weeks, so it’s finally time to resume TUNIC! twitch.tv/brennemania

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

I’m back on the Couch to 5K grind and completed Week 5 yesterday! I’m really hoping to get back into half-marathon shape over the winter and try to run a local half in February. Haven’t done one since 2018 and I miss it! I just need to, uh, not injure myself… again… 😅

This weekend’s bake was another batch of the honey muffin recipe from the FFXIV cookbook!

Man I’m so sleepy right now, why can’t this happen after bedtime when it’s supposed to?

The fact that humans can just make things with our hands and minds and hearts is one of the most magical things about us. I genuinely do not understand wanting an advanced chat bot to do it for you

happy 10 years of laying on the ground and feeling like garbage

How about you just fuckin leave trans people alone and let them live their lives in peace, huh "We have to treat these people." Yeah we have to treat them, with some fuckin respect and dignity and humanity Jfc man

Went shopping and treated myself to some new fall/winter fits!

What if I baked MORE croissants

Nothing can stop me from baking shortbread biscuits while in the middle of making croissant dough, nothing

Terra gave my arm a hug wahhhh

Blegh, was gonna stream more Tunic tonight but I'm so tired man. Having a chill evening instead!

Charlie Kirk spent his last days manufacturing a lurid panic about “Black-on-White crime” and his final post on X was a call to politicize a murder. He was not “practicing politics the right way.“ You can oppose what happened yesterday without pretending he was One of the Good Ones.

FF fans know these chords

Call your reps. We know that Dems will throw trans people under the bus even without the govt shutdown on the line. They need to hear from everyone but especially cis folks that this is not acceptable.

Decompressing after the first long Monday of the new semester. I always feel a bit nervous before each class that I teach, but I always leave feeling uplifted and joyful that I get to talk about stuff that I love with some wonderful grad students. Tired, but content. ❤️

Last day for this! There's literally only a handful of entries across bsky and insta both, so if you enter, you have a decent chance of winning 😆

Faris makes cool art and is doing a little giveaway, go see 👀
