Went to a splendid #CandlelightConcert last night featuring arrangements of pieces from #TheLordoftheRings and #GameofThrones for string quartet. There’s something magical about #livemusic , especially #orchestral or #choral #concert 😭❤️

I am suffering from the most trifling malaise, some shitty little cold, and after doing some push-ups yesterday my chest hurts, so I got two birds stoned at once with my magic bag on my chest 😂

Ok I cannot stress just how much I love #HarbourAir . The staff are super friendly, and the whole baggage weight thing was Not A Big Deal In The Slightest 😭🙏🏼Also, it’s a 35 min flight from #VancouverBC to #VictoriaBC, and you don’t have to show up too soon beforehand (they recommend 40 min). STOKED!

Oh my god how the hell does one pack 10lb or less for a 2 day trip???? I’m trying to be as judicious as possible and yet I’m probably going to be coming in at 15lb of crap H O W W W W W W

If you’re looking to order some delicious #chocolates for the #holidayseason, then check out Pure Lovin’ #Chocolate, made in #VictoriaBC by a mother-daughter duo! 🎉 (not affiliated; saw a post in r/VictoriaBC subreddit, just how many people enjoyed their #sweets!) #giftidea #Canada #madeInCanada

It's rainy AF today here in not-so-sunny Vancouver, so in other words the perfect weather for melancholic piano arrangements of Elder Scrolls music! 😂 #elderscrolls #pianoarrangement #music #piano #videogamemusic

A friend of mine is experiencing some hardship right now making sure her lovely pupper, Alfie, gets the medical care he needs ❤️ Please, if you’re able to donate, it would be incredibly impactful! If you’re not in a place to donate, please repost to spread the word; Alfie’s counting on us! #mutualaid

#VancouverBC has a #municipal #election coming up on October 17th, 2026; I’ll be keeping an eye on the candidates and their platforms, but here’s a couple of resources to check out and get informed! elections.bc.ca/local-electi... www.vpl.ca/guide/electi... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municip...

After scouring the manpage syntax docs for how to add an extra indent to one of my .TP (should convert to a list, but that adds a list item char & means a lot more fussing with manpage formatting syntax than I can emotionally handle), I just chucked a .RS and a .RE in there and called it a day lol

ugh it's been 12 days since "standard time" resumed and I am still messing up PDT and PST and it's DARK outside at like FOUR and I don't like it when things CHANGE. PST and PDT more like PTSD cuz fuck this lol

You know those moments when AddressSanitizer is poppin’ off and you don’t have the emotional capacity to dig into why it’s crapping out over some memory allocation in the bowels of a legacy codebase that you skitter on the surface of regularly but of which you don’t actually understand the internals

Tryin’ to take selfies that show off my strong jaw for perfectly cis reasons

Without downloading new pics, describe your gender:

Trying to practice creating a sense of depth with haphazard florals! #gouache #Holbein #HolbeinGouache #HolbeinIridoriSummerSet

Today was rough so I decided to practice drawing plants. It was fun to experiment! #gouache #HIMIgouache #jellygouache #HIMI #moleskine #moleskinenotebook #painting #practice

LOL The internet appears to be doing an oopsie right now. First noticed that cplusplus.com was down (cuz I obsessively refer to the docs for C standard library functions), now the discover feed for BlueSky is throwing an error. Which devops dept is on fire right now? LOL

Holy forking shirtballs, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein was absolutely astonishing; I haven’t been this gobsmacked by a production in years. Sumptuous sets and superb costuming supported a stellar cast performing a damned fine script! This is definitely motivating me to re-read Frankenstein!

This was another addition from this week in my #moleskine, created using the very first #gouache paints that I bought (from the #VancouverArtGallery ‘s gift shop, I might add!)

Felt good to paint in my #moleskine sketchbook with #HIMIgouache ! Impressed with how the paper doesn’t buckle with a bit of water #jellygouache #HIMI #HIMIjelly #HIMIjellygouache #gouache

Presenting #ThePeppermancer from #TheCosmicWheelSisterhood !! I absolutely adored this game, and loved her story arc in particular 🌶️🫑🔥 It's a splendid cozy game to curl up with this spooky season! #cozygame #cozygames #cozygaming #visualnovel #game #gaming #SpookySeason

#Yoba has blessed me again i this fine #StardewValley day 😂 I had 199 hardwood, one short for unlocking ginger island (because Year 1 Winter 1 I finished the community centre! YASSSSS) and my axe is being upgraded and my LOVELY DOG BARFED UP A HARDWOOD FOR ME WHEN I PET HIMMMM 😭😭😭😭😭

And of course AddressSanitizer is inconsistently emitting certain false-positive errors on macOS ARM64 (related to how clang implementation of sprintf() handles its internal buffers??) and I'm sitting here hunched over the icdiff of two sets of logs for runs with the same parameters perishing slowly

Manual testing is poo and why I usually write code to do it for me; I made an issue last week about updating (or adding to) the CI config files to perform a more comprehensive battery of functional testing, but that means I'm stuck for now pecking in various parameterizations of the CLI 😆

1) My parter @vancityray.bsky.social crashing out while playing chess against Duolingo’s AI, Oscar: “I hope Oscar is happy with his life, eating cereal out of the box because his fucking wife left him”

Disconcerted by the threads and additional context demonstrating a pattern of hostile moderation on this platform. I had pretty high hopes for BlueSky, engaged wholeheartedly to be a part of a new type of social media, but I think I'm going to put the claims of the ATProtocol to the test soon.

“Is this who decides who is naughty and nice, the council?!” - my girlfriend @fenris42.bsky.social just dropping this, amongst other gems, upon me lol. The Council of Clauses really has a legal ring to it, now that I think of it 😂

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

Gobsmacked with this #StardewValley save. Odds are minuscule for each of these events, but I encountered another of #Yoba ‘s #miracle s: my DOG dropped a DINO EGG. The probability isn’t even listed on the wiki; this was my first gift at max friendship with my dog 🤪🍀 #videogame tinyurl.com/4m7vp7pb

AAAAND NOW I GOT AN ANCIENT SEED FROM A TREASURE CHEST WHILE FISHING 😂😂😂🍀🍀🍀 0.7-0.8% chance of occurring #blessed #YobaProvides #StardewValley stardewvalleywiki.com/Ancient_Seed

Another gem observed in #StardewValley today: I found #Bigfoot, and in true Bigfoot-sighting fashion, I took a shakey, out-of-focus photo that barely has Bigfoot in-frame. L O L #gaming #easteregg

YESSSSSSS I’ve been doing another #Stardew run on my Switch (I.e. purist, no mods) and didn’t check “year one completable” for this save, so I am FUCKIN PUMPED that the red cabbage seed just happened to show up at the traveling cart! UNBELIEVABLE. Winter 1 community centre completion, here I come!

Found a lovely gamified focus tool, With Me: Aquatic Time, by Sensory Patch Entertainment! They announced the demo a few days ago; excited to see where they take this project! Already been able to jam out for a few focus sessions, love watching my fishy friends flounder about! 🐟

Mannnn I love the work I’m doing; I have free rein to dig into somewhat obscure topics and to document the hell out of how they apply to the project. Been learning a lot about AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer, really boosting code quality! 💪🏻

Post something random or have an awful October

Oooooooh hellllll yeah, Spag Ruckus just followed me on Instagram and their music is absolute F I R E. 🔥 I know what I’ll be jammin out to today!! #SpagRuckus #music #electronic #dubstep #glitchhop #techno #dnb #album #earworm

A friend of mine has started a new shop, Prairie Yarns Co! I am *definitely* gonna have to get back into knitting now 😍

I gave it another shot, made sure to take screenshots demonstrating none of the photos were taken in Portrait mode to mitigate any issues with the r/MakeupAddiction rules! #motd #fotd #eotd #makeup Wish me luck folks 😂

My Reddit post got removed from r/MakeupAddiction because I used portrait mode on my iPhone. This requirement was hidden under their rule about not editing photos (which as far as I was concerned I didn’t). #angie #angwie #bigmad #trampoline … this kinda proves you can’t be mad on a trampoline 😂

[Pixelfed Xpost] Ya boie got a new #haircut a couple weeks back! Today, I experimented with the #MeltCosmetics #GeminiPalette and #JuviasPlace #TheQueenPalette . #motd #fotd #hotd #mullet #shag #razorhaircut #makeup

Wooooo at #TheOrpheum in #VancouverBC #StardewValley #SymphonyofSeasons with my girlfriend! What ✨ ambiance ✨

HOOOOOOLY CRAPOLA LACE IS A BEAUTIFUL FIGHT BUT HOT DANG THAT WAS HOOOOOOOORRRRRDDDDD LOL #Silksong #Hornet

Holy shit lol. Silksong is hard (graphic media just used for hiding spoilers)

Silk Song Day!!! Go and play! #silksong #pixelart

I miraculously snagged a license for Silksong via HumbleBundle despite all gaming platforms being SLAMMED by skongers. GIT GUUUUUUUD I’m supposed to be working right now fml

W h e w, I got on the cancellation waitlist last week for a contrast CT and had it this morning (after 8 months of sketchy RUQ abdominal pain); all I can say is my review of the hospital is *glowing*. They were so nice, said I really lit up the room! … I am kinda 🤢 and slightly radioactive lol

I went and played pool with my girlfriend last night and every single game was cursed lol

I just ordered some absolutely DARLING felted friends from @evanskyarts.bsky.social Seriously, check out their stuff 😍

Been sick as a dog this week, but did a bunch of reading (no guarantees on retention and recall), painting (dubious quality), and even finished my first playthrough of the #videogame #TheCosmicWheelSisterhood ! Feeling inspired, so I’m working on some #fanart 😍 Absolutely splendid storytelling!
