This is why I voted for Avi Lewis in the NDP leadership election, right here.

Ketchup is only good in two dishes: 1. Chili 2. Meatloaf Otherwise, get out of here with that stuff.

I slept most of the day away due to a migraine and now, of course, I can't sleep.

Our Brilliant Ruin to get a hardcover rulebook from Dark Horse

One day, I'm gonna make music like Kaitlyn Raitz. One day. lol I dream about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Avw-...

Cello lesson done! Apparently I get some nice sound, so yay! We made some bow hand adjustments that made a tonne of difference. I can have longer practice sessions now. Time to learn some scales. Haha. 1 3 4 fingering. Need to learn how to move 2 and 3 together. That feels weird.

It's Wednesday. Know what that means? Cello lesson day!

I love working with this team. 💛 Remote, regular (optional) team outings (I organize them!), and some really great folks. This role works with me a bit, since I'm the one marketing what you are working on. I am not the hiring manager.

I missed it yesterday, so here it is today. A repost.

It was 23C on Saturday. It is -5C today. 😭

My news algorithm keeps on feeding me stories about retirement and over 50 health and like... I'm 44. I am apparently an old soul or something.

Cellos just look cool.

I'm going to a fancy buffet this year for this very reason. Spent Christmas in bed.

Just got home from walking the dogs. Overcast as all heck, but the birds are singing their hearts out, the smell of petrichor is strong in the air, and the grass is that vibrant green colour that only comes out in early spring, before the summer heat bakes it.

Been playing Wanderstop. I have seen comments in the wild that the story is too basic for some and I feel like folks who think that have never been at last stage burnout before. 'cos when you are there, unable to get out of bed or live your life, it's the basics that are all consuming.

I am a medieval historian!! The world always is in a state, it has never not been in a state, joy and delight and beauty is what humanity exists for

HASTINGS: I say, Poirot, this vial’s labeled “hyaluronic acid”! Is it a poison? SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: Non, mon ami. This acid, it replenishes the skin’s barrier naturale HASTINGS: So this is a gal who takes care of her skin. SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: *irritated* The gentleman may use it as well

This sounds like the old Caesar games and my interest is piqued because I loved that series.

I enjoy writing a first draft, but my favourite part? Editing. Editing is the craft. It's where I derive most of my satisfaction.

The day in a life of an #indie. #GameDev

One of these letters contained the hope to read my fiction, as they had never read my fiction before, and they wished to discover what the heart of my writing is. I honestly have no idea, and I'm interested to hear what it is! Some writers fear they say too much. I fear I say too little.

Went from 24C to 3C. My RA has reacted big time. My spine and hips feel like death. These big weather swings can stop now.

Dax: Human! Outside. Now! Me, putting on rubber boots and raincoat: Ok buddy, but you're not going to like it. Dax with two paws on tbe porch, thunder rumbling: Abort! Abort! Inside. Now!

I have received not one, but TWO letters today!

When I water my seedlings, I say trans rights.

Ah, hey!!! bsky.app/profile/game...

Honestly? This is why I play rpgs in story mode. I don't care about the fighting. I actually really dislike platforming. But I love branching dialogue and I love pacifist runs. Stories in games are interactive and engaging. Television/movies are passive and don't keep my attention.

Ah. The big storm that is supposed to last the entire day has begun. Thunder is rumbling in the distance in that SW Ontario way. Honestly, it sounds like summer out there.

Avi Lewis: "We have shoved Canada Post so far into the market mindset that every few months we have a national conversation about why isn't Canada Post making money. Does the ambulance service make money? Do the police services make money? We're talking about a fundamental public service."

My Media Studies class in high school went to see it on opening day as a field trip and we did not like it at all. My friend Nick and I sat there looking at each other like, "This is supposed to be a big cultural moment? This movie stinks."

My apple orchard in bloom... and rusty old train tracks above it! This is my first time doing tracks on an aerial embroidery and I'm pretty happy with the effect; the flowering trees were a chore but I'm happy with them too! The last element to add is the allotment to the left 🥕🥬🌱 #landscape

Exercised, finished writing a chapter, went for that walk, and now it's lunch at a cafe.

I have a vacation day today. I'm going to spend it writing, practicing the cello, and going for a walk with the dogs.

Star Trek: The Next Generation, possibly the best television show ever, is not about spaceships shooting lasers at each other, it is about a man who represents the best of us trying to teach his robot son to be human while debating whether humans even deserve to exist with his best frenemy, God.

Today my cousin and I start working through the Le Cordon Bleu textbook and workbook. We start with knife skills. Les Crudites et Leurs Sauces (Horseradish dip and remoulade) Salade de Pommes de Terre And...

This is all wild garlic. 🌿

You don't know how real this is until you play a modern homebrew N64 game with a functional open world... on real hardware It's like looking into an alternate universe where developers in the 1990s actually understood how the N64 worked bsky.app/profile/arak...

Wanted a cocktail but wanted something more botanical. Indigo gin + shishito pepper + cucumber + club soda I ran out of bitters, but they'd be nice with it.

I love that Take This provides the AFK rooms, and Solo But Not Alone helps fund them! If you want to help Take This take care of people, a good way to start is to buy and share the bundle before it's gone! itch.io/b/3481/solo-...

I listened to the playlist last night and it is great. Will say that the new stuff sounds the same as the old stuff. It's like it was just lifted from the past and plopped into the now.

Welp, I've just lost interest in both the book and movie.

I am vindicated.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. Hold up. There's a shoegaze resurgence going on? Oh, hell yeah.

After I put the GDCheese sticker on, I felt that this laptop was a bit bare. I have fixed this issue.

Oof. It's an RA day today. Weather dropped from 18C to -2C. 😩 These big weather swings aren't good for people with inflammation based auto-immune diseases, let me tell you.

Aha! Ok! The cello was feeling weird, position wise, for me. I didn't have the experience to know if i was right on why or not, but I just confirmed it. My chest is too big for the standard way of holding it. I need a longer end pin and to hold it at a deeper angle. I can finally see the A string

What am I doing while winding down for bed? Watching videos about the biomechanics and ergonomics of cello playing, yes. Yes, I am. Why do you ask?

When my teacher said just practice for two minute intervals 8 times a day, I was skeptical at the length. ngl. But uhhh... yeah. I get it now. I've never played an instrument that requires so many weird muscles and movement patterns before. It's _wild_ how physical the cello is.

Ok. Yeah. Spent a chunk of time in front of the mirror so I could feel out the biomechanics. Really paid attention to how it felt to hold my body with the proper form. This will take a lot of practice. I'm not used to these planes of movement. Short practice sessions but many per day, I was told.
