I was strongly encouraged to watch For All Mankind so my boyfriend can have someone to talk to about it. I'm 4 in, and so far the writing and acting has been excellent!

It should be illegal to send a work email on a Sunday night. I should also know better than to look at the ones that come through before Monday morning.

I challenge anyone who sees this post to seek out one new to you local band and give them a try. There is so much talent in our own communities!

Got that bread money!

I love indie games because I get to experience a wider variety of stories and experiences. Venba is a masterpiece! Thanks to @kanoki.net for frequently encouraging me to set aside some time to finally play. It's a beautiful look at family and identity.

😍

Restarting my morning walks today, and was excited to see a Goldfinch. Hello middle age!

I dropped my hoodie and the zipper pull made direct contact with my toenail. It's small, how did that hurt so much?!

10 days of travel, 2 days of party prep, followed by said party and a house guest for 4 days. It's been a whirlwind of fun, and now I'm so glad to have a quiet house to myself and no plans for the next 4 nights.

Went on a 10 day vacation and had grand plans of reading through Mistborn and Weyward, but was so busy I didn't even make it 3/4 through Mistborn (which I'm loving!)

QTP with a gif of your favorite Sailor Guardian 🎀

My favorite art history genre is "Judith beheading Holofernes"

Put 23.3k steps on my shoes today, and saw so much incredible history including a church that is over 800 years old, a hill of monuments, a house rebuilt inside a gallery, and an airplane and an elephant in the same room. My phone and my feet are both in need of a rest and recharge before dinner.

Visiting a friend in the UK. I didn't know that nursery rhymes had different tunes over here. I have the new version of Hickory dickory dock stuck in my head. ⏰🐀

I love city vacations, I get so many steps! Today I got to 19.8k. then I ate a ton of delicious pasta, bread and cheese.

Why do I feel obligated to keep books that I will never read again? Just spent an hour going through my 3 main floor bookshelves and only found 21 items to pass along. It barely made a dent.

I have discovered a bunch of incredibly talented artists through fan art in the two weeks since I fell head first down the Nirvanna the Band and Show fandom rabbit hole. #ntbts

Hurray for physical media! youtu.be/swE741wbUco

10 years late, but Fleabag is phenomenal!

"I'm going to swing by the store on my way home. Do you want anything?" "Yeah! Could you grab me an orbital sander? It's in aisle 16." I suppose it's on me for not clarifying that I meant the grocery store.

I've been taking bass lessons for about 7 months now. I can barely play along with a single song because I can't stop asking music theory questions.

This weekend and always, NO LILIES FOR KITTIES. www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

Dave brought a lot of context to elements of the animation I just reposted!

This film was one of the biggest influences on Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. Seeing it for the first time, Miyazaki told his friend, "I guess we’re failures, aren’t we?" This is Crac -- the first masterpiece by animator Frédéric Back. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-lament...

This made my day!

Started watching A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms last night. I didn't expect it to be so thoroughly delightful. The first 3 episodes have all been a joy!

Being creative outside of work hours has been a challenge for me this year. I started a Field Notes book for collage and small creative experiments. So far I've done one spread each in January and February. Both ideas floated around in my brain for a few weeks before I made the time to create them.

It was poor planning on my part to attend an event at an art gallery and neglect to arrive 2 hours early. There are some intriguing exhibitions on and not nearly enough time to see them.

A local favourite, an award show contender, a very special special, and a classic viewed for the first time. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

This is giving The Maxx vibes

Finally watching The Ratatouille Musical in 2026 🐀

Goodbye Papyrus

Finally gifted myself the time to sit down and watch Snow Bear without distraction. This hand-drawn short by legendary animator Aaron Blaise is touching, and a stunning achievement. 🐻‍❄️

I've been working on a home DIY project for about 2 weeks and it really makes me admire and appreciate people who do physical work for a living. After edge banding, trimming and sanding 15 drawers for over 4 hours last night, I can feel strain in muscles I've never even thought about.

Is this the new power couple?

I have always preferred trains and streetcars to busses, because they have fewer options to go wildly off route. The bus kidnapping last night is personally validating.

I'm so happy for my friends who live in England and are starting to see the crocuses and tree blossoms emerge, but also, why do I live where the air hurts my skin? 🥶

Think of the most random of random TV shows you can possibly think of. Now post a GIF of it.

#LetterboxdFriday! 3/4 of my #LastFourWatched were last year.

My name is Angela, hey hello! 🎶

I met a cat, in a second hand book store, at 10:30 p.m., on a Sunday. I did not want to leave. Every town should have a place like this.

The first 3 words you see will define your 2026. PENIS BEACH GRIND

I think I drank 1.75 L of Kirkland spiked eggnog over the past week. I'm now taking an 11 month break from the beverage.

PRESENT DAY PRESENT...TIME!

I'm just too tired to discuss AI with my inlaws this Christmas.

I was gifted this beautiful sci-fi novella by a dear friend. A wonderful read as we approach the end of 2025.
