I will never stop being shocked by the audacity of USians. Shared a burlesque video in which I popped a pastie, and ripped the other one off. US based performer rolls up to tell me that I shouldn’t do that because of laws THEY have but also said “maybe laws in Canada are different” YOU THINK?!

Well well well. I’ve got Deja vu.

The unique Thunder Bay experience of trying to figure out if someone saying “look at you go, you look great” when they see you on a bike is because of the unhinged car culture here, or patronizing fatphobia.

I am not a fan of Carney. I’m also not a Liberal. While we narrowly avoided something worse, this also doesn’t feel celebratory to me. Except for PP losing his seat. That’s frigging glorious.

Posting this everywhere because I am so proud of myself. Haven’t touched a pole in 2 years, and was surprised I managed this invert in my first ever aerial silks class! Anxiety, hyper mobility, poor sense of proprioception mean I struggle with a lot of new physical tasks. But I don’t let it stop me

Michelle Williams is obviously a superstar, but also Jenny Slate is absolutely mind blowing in Dying for Sex. It’s a career high for her for sure. Right up there with Obvious Child as one of my favourites of her performances.

The CAD price point of the Switch 2 is fucking EYEWATERING, that hurts. 😭

ADHD life: “time to wind down for bed!” Proceed to start a load of laundry, fold laundry that’s been waiting for like 2 weeks, clear and organize bedside table, research sewing tips for a costume, spend 20 minutes picking something to read on my Kobo, give up and scroll on phone….do not wind down.

How to tell I’m about to start performing publicly again? Makeup.

Hey TTRPG friends, do you have game suggestions for this list?

I set myself some goals in 2025 related to dance and performing. I’ve started a new training certification, am working with a circus coach on my flexibility, and now, I’m adding hoop to my skill set! New shinies to hopefully include in my stage acts!

CanadaTok has really been serving Canadian music vibes lately, so that’s one positive thing to come out of all this crap.

lol. USians mad about Trudeau saying Donald because “it’s disrespectful not to use his title” is legitimately the funniest thing I’ve read in a while. He’s referred to our prime minister as governor for MONTHS. Die mad about it.

Prepping some dance class stuff and seriously thinking about bringing this back. In case it wasn’t clear that I’m a queer nonbinary babe, I present this. Straight dudes beware, I’m here to steal your girl with my magic mike moves.

Me, disabled and underemployed, trying to do 3 different freelance jobs while the dictator to the south of us pushes my country towards a recession.

Not enough booze or comfort food in my house to deal with these ontario election results tonight.

It’s slightly above freezing, which means for the first time since November the top floor of my not-so-well-insulated century home doesn’t feel like walking into a freezer. I might have to use only 3 or 4 blankets on the bed instead of 5!

Netflix making it seem like I have a choice “accepting” the price increase and then sending me an email thanking me for doing so even though clicking accept was literally the only option was so gross. We’ve been talking about cancelling and I think this is the final straw.

This sale is still going on until the end of the month! I really appreciate everyone who has bought something so far. It’s been a tough month with all these costs coming at the same time, as well as work being slow.

The Ontario leaders debate on Northern Issues being in the middle of the day on a Friday tells you a lot about how much they actually care about northern Ontario. Also I will never stop loling that every “northern Ontario” thing is held in North Bay. They’re too afraid to actually come up north.

My sale is still on-going!

👀👀👀

No Star Wars. No Star Trek. Name a favourite sci-fi franchise. Easy. This one is top even without the the stipulation.

Now is a really great time to support Canadian game designers. Fellow Canadians, you can buy games directly from my website in CAD $! www.aliciafurness.com/shop

CBC radio had a Phil Collin’s hour this morning and now I absolutely cannot get In the Air Tonight out of my head.

I’ve still got my itch sale going on to help with my unexpected costs that arrived all at the same time! I’m also going to put physical copies on sale on my website this weekend. itch.io/s/146575/whe...

Can we talk about how fun these metallic watercolours look in my hobonichi? I’ve had this set since 2020 but rarely use it because I couldn’t figure out how I wanted to use it…but now I know I’m going to use it my planner. So shiny.

Sharing this again!

When it Rains it Pours Game Sale! January 2025 is coming in hot with the unexpected costs, so I’m having a sale. My car needs to be fixed, my cat accidentally broke my tv, and I’ve just started my autism assessment (clearly not expecting the other two costs!). itch.io/s/146575/whe...

I like the cold but -41 is just a step too far.

lol. So we went and got a new TV. And I have to return it tomorrow. The saga continues! It doesn’t play nice with our Apple TV, and has awful judder. RIP my old 1080p tv that gave me no problems. I had to comb through a bunch of highly technical reviews to find a compatible TV.

Oh I also have a Ko-Fi, if maybe you already have my stuff! ko-fi.com/licious

I attempted to de-stress by doing an art. First time using watercolour in my Hobonichi. Been playing I Was A Teenage Exocolonist non-stop and could talk about it forever.

I am excited to announce the launch of our newest game, Ringmaster - a gm-less Descended from the Queen #ttrpg for 2-6 players that plays in two hours, with no prep required. Available via @drivethrurpg.com as: - Print-on-demand - Roll20 Module - Print-n-play PDF bit.ly/Ringmaster-t...

At 4am our floor to ceiling cat tree fell down with Kristoff on it. Most importantly, Kristoff appears to be fine. Annoyed, but fine. Our tv, however, is not. I now need to fix my car, pay for my autism assessment, AND buy a new tv. But I’m so grateful this floof is okay.

It feels like -42C where I live. RIP my gas bill.

Todays plans, posted here for accountability: - read some RPGs - finally get TBay library card - choreo for dance class tonight - flexibility training

I did the thing. Went for a walk for my mental health, got myself this silly little treat. I think it’s a game designer trait to buy rule books just to read.

My FLGS has a singular copy of the Battlestar Galactica RPG and I can’t stop thinking about it, and I feel like it’s going to make its way into my collection just because.

It’s January 8th and I am drinking a vegan egg nog latte, and this will absolute continue until I’ve finished the 2 cartons of oat nog I have in the fridge. I may still be drinking them by the time February rolls around honestly.

In classic AuDHD fashion, my routine went sideways over the holidays and I’m now having the HARDEST time getting back into it.

I got a bang trim so I can see again, and chatting with my stylist made me realize that I really am known for trying to get as much volume as possible in my hair. But I mean look how cute it is! And this after I had to smush it down in a toque!

The closer the release date for Severance Season 2 gets, the longer the wait feels.

I think the best gift you can give a game designer this season is just telling them you like their work. When some is enthusiastic about a game I’ve made it honestly makes me feel all warm and gooey inside (also awkward, because I’m awkward and compliments are weird).

It’s time for my annual Boxing Day sale. 50% off all my digital games for the the next week! Because Boxing Day is better than Black Friday, and this Canadian will die on this hill. itch.io/s/144764/box...

I got more stuff for Magical Kitties, so I REALLY need to play it, but for now we are just making some characters.
