I'm the one who made the order and like... I'm salivating. I want to eat that mango cake so bad.

Our vows:

Today is Kev's and my anniversary. 14 years of marriage, 19 years of a relationship. Love this guy.

This. This is the correct, science-backed, responsible framing. Wish more news outlets did it like the CBC.

I think it is time to start a new wild Sims save and challenge. I think I am done (for now) with my cult world. Any suggestions? I have a lot of mods... like, a lot. some may make some people squirm. Lol

Lydia goes on on for literally two whole paragraphs while Elizabeth dissociates until there’s a DARCY MENTION, and Elizabeth snaps back to reality so fast she incurs a tesseract à la Madeleine L’Engle.

I can't seem to capture how poofy, full, and 80s my curls are today.

"I don't like being called cis" "I don't like being called white" "I don't like being called abled" That's because you view yourself as "normal" or "the default" and everyone else as *not*. Viewing yourself as the baseline is just another form of prejudice. It's just a more implicit type.

Querying literary agents is a masterclass in learning persistence. lol However, this is a lovely rejection letter.

I CAN SEE THE SKY!

That was a busy first day! Lots of great feedback. Here's to the beginning of day two of the largest playtest in company history. Thank you to everyone who has shared and talked this playtest up. It's very much appreciated. 🙏

1/ Climate change is not some far-off threat. It is here. It is happening.   And it is caused by the burning of fossil fuels that the Liberal government is pouring billions of public money into expanding.   This is the crisis we cannot afford to ignore.

Ugh... this wildfire smoke.

Reminder that Carney has cut funding for Natural Resources Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs, and Indigenous Services. And he has rolled back climate protections, abandoned emissions targets, and is building more pipelines.

Only we decide what we bring into the world

What was fun about making this video is that I got to play around in Audition. First time in a while. I really like playing around in Audition. ...and this video loops. lol Gosh, the things you can get a kick out of when you make things. It's really about having fun while you do it.

This is what I spent a chunk of my afternoon working on... haha. Anyway, I'm chuffed with the transition from the logo to the clip. 😅

HEADS UP, GEN CON ATTENDEES! The Saturday of Gen Con, disgraced former Border Patrol Cmdr Greg Bovino is holding a rally 30 minutes from downtown Indianapolis. There may be some charged-up racists in the area before and after. Plan accordingly and exercise caution.

I've been battling a cold for almost a month. Turned into a chest and sinus infection. I got penicillin and a nasal steroid today and y'all? I can't wait to feel better. I'm exhausted.

“It really came down to speed of production, visual readability for players, and repeatable interaction language with satisfying payoffs.” - Lennard, 3D Generalist See why and how we changed the look of First Moon of Mercury: store.steampowered.com/news/app/400... #GameDev #Art #Indie #VideoGame

taking a break from tour posting for this important reminder

Lol One time a prof commented on some bullshit paper I wrote about numerology and a Donne sonnet, "I don't believe it for a minute, but well argued. A." I skimmed most books. Major in Classics with a minor in English lit. I literally didn't have enough time in a day to read it all through.

Raw onion, mustard, and sauerkraut.

It's a very smart mash-up of several genres that would take a while to explain but here's one of my favorite illustrative facts: You can have the lizard guys work in the bakery - they are not very good at making bread but they love the job because it's warm in there

I LOVE this game. It's my fav strat/city builder. Can't get enough. Go play it.

I was able to (mostly) sight read the third cello! It's a piece for four cellos. My teacher has never had a student who was able to pick things up like I have. 😅 Sure, my technique needs So. Much. Work. I'm new to this! But I am a trained classical musician. There's some tricky positioning, tho.

Note to self

We're doing this next week! Join over 250 people in our playtest: first-moon-of-mercury.firstlook.gg

One of my fav games. Hands down.

I got sheet music from one of my fav contemporary cellists & taking it w me to my lesson to see if we can incorporate it into my lessons. It's way above my skill level but no different than me spending hours as a teen learning how to play the guitar with Stairway to Heaven. youtu.be/VlcigB9XiSk

I learned an Irish phrase yesterday that sums up my thoughts of that last sentence quite well: Oh, aye, is it now?

Morrowind was the reason I bought an Xbox and entered that ecosystem instead of PlayStation. This hurts, and I am so full of rage. I don't discuss the BS that is the current games industry publicly much, because I don't want to fall into despair. Right now, though? I'm infuriated.

Using a standing desk is dangerous for me, 'cos it's easy to just walk away. lol ADHD brain is taking over. [has a thought. walks away to follow it through without really processing it. gets to other room] why tf am I here?

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

Ah. Perimenopausal insomnia. Hello. Kinda wish you weren't visiting now.

Salad stuff from the garden.

could we just... not? fucking hell

i just want everyone to know that my curls look fabulous today

I just played three hours of computer games and my shoulder doesn't hurt. Hell yeah! New desk!

New desk! Finally, one my height! I am so excited, you have no idea.

Trying to decide which game I should start up again. Both of these I played a giant chunk of and then never finished. Witcher 3 PoE 2: Deadfire But then another part of me is like, "Let's play Avowed for the fourth time."

Waking up after a night of a big storm is a bit surreal. Tree branches everywhere. 113 km/hr winds last night, apparently.

Family have no clue. Lol Friends, yes, because a lot of them work in creative industries, too. How many of them interact with my stuff? A few do.

1/ Today, we celebrate Canada and the values that bring us together as a nation. Canadians are facing real challenges. From rising costs to threats from south of our border, many people are feeling fear and uncertainty about the future.

Featuring The Watcher On The Mountain With The Eyes Like Pits

Happy Canada Day. Hope you get to enjoy sunshine, grill delicious eats, and enjoy a two four with buds.
