I have officially defeated the huge pile of dirt, only 34 wheelbarrow loads dispersed around the yard

First gym in months did not kill me immediately

A 4 cubic foot wheelbarrow may be too small for this job

How I dress to LARP Stardew Valley (picking cherries and trimming trees around my property)

Somehow find myself as the MC for the next town over's Canada Day party today, quickly expanding my dominion as the most handsome and charismatic. Soon all of rural Ontario will fall under my domain.

AC repair guy came this morning, and kept coming in to ask questions while I built a flat pack dresser and got sweatier and less dressed every time he looked. House was 30C by the time he got it running again, and I was in just basketball shorts and a thick coat of sweaty fur 🥵

Just survived a genuine horror movie scenario: the dental hygienist grew up with my mom

Spent much of yesterday at a pool to beat the heat, made sure to dress correctly. #mcm, but full colour is on slide 3

Air conditioner is broken on the first real hot day of the year, guess I'll spend the whole time here under the ceiling fan

Summer break has begun, catch me here like this for 2 months

Last Tuesday at work for 2 months, better make it tummy

Got some new shirts delivered, what do we think? Big hairy bear in loose knits - hot AF, obviously, but appropriate for daily wear?

#mcm, one more week of school before summer break when I move to the hammock for good

category is: small town pride parade

What colour was he, exactly? (dyed my hair and moustache blue, very pleased with myself)

Second last day with students before summer, had to get out of there ASAP

*shady work post alert* Another teacher at my school with more seniority gets to teach most of the foods classes. Her 11/12s made desserts for an event today and gave extras to the staff, so I got to see. It's an underbaked tart shell from the store, with raw blueberries and some whipped cream. 💀

Before/after/bearface, hopefully powers are restored enough for the pride parade this weekend

#mcm, featuring the consequences of my sunny Saturday. Friends, I cannot sit down comfortably. (don't repost or save this one please)

Sun's out. Buns out.

Not even drag queens can make me look small! Head a great time at a local drag show with Troy Boy Entertainment, gorgeous queens and great fun even in the middle of nowhere where I live. And then a 6'5" man in sneakers next to the queens in their heels!

5 days of teaching left before summer, but summer brain has already taken over and I cannot keep my mind in line anymore. Body trapped at a desk in a classroom, brain naked in a hammock in the sun.

My mother in law sent me this, and you can tell that with an opening line like "think of me as the pole" that it was definitely created by a straight 😳

We don’t usually see each other’s headers. Here’s mine! Quote with yours.

#mcm in a new pose today, love how it makes the tattoos look. also, it might finally be time to trim some of that shoulder hair for tank top season 🤔

Throwback to this hotel with an in-room sauna for fat bear Friday as I keep working on being positive about me too, not just all of you. One of my favourite recent pics of myself; belly, chest, insecurities, and all.

happy pride month to this toxic couple

Ok Google Photos, you got this one right

Honestly homophobic to start Pride Month on a work Monday, I need time at home with my gay thoughts today.

I was the MC for a fashion show to kick off Pride Month in my small town today, better share my looks with bluesky

Had to compromise on raspberry or cinnamon bun blondies, but you can probably tell which one I wanted

Fursdays, am I right?

I'm a two-time Canadian National Underwater Hockey champion

My grade 10s complimented this outfit yesterday, so I'd better share. Plus, belly.

Almost forgot to post haircut pics, how embarrassing

For #tummytuesday, enjoy my gardening fit from yesterday, the first actual warm day since October. Yes, I did use sunscreen. No, it wasn't enough!

2000 of you? Crazy. Thanks for the attention, folks. Have a little voice, as a treat.

drop some COLORFUL HAIR 💜

So the mutton chops got a way better reaction than I expected, which I saw after I had already gone to the next step: Wealwell Gotch moustache, seen immediately at shave and then dressed for the wedding, and one bonus shot of me cracking up as my daughter the flower girl stole the spotlight. #mcm

Drafted into a wedding against my will today, perhaps a villainous Hatwell Gotch-inspired muttonchop is in order?

AOTY just dropped, in case you're interested. REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE, Genesis Owusu.

Thick Thursday, featuring a rented suit for a wedding this weekend that doesn't quite fit. Shoes were too small too, despite being 15W.

I'm in a wedding this weekend and I have low confidence in the measurements taken for the suit, so I got some compression shirts just in case. Not sure if they work or if I just look like a tube of toothpaste. Presented here in its full form, and its #tummytuesday form.

Proud of myself today for finally getting started on the food forest I'm planning to grow! Today was the berry patch, with raspberries, blackberries, and red and black currants. Not pictured is the rhubarb patch I put in behind where I stood for this picture. The future is fruity!

For Throwback Thursday, I offer my pandemic hair.

Hammock weather has finally returned to Canada, for today at least. Gotta soak up as much sun as possible before it's gone again!

#mcm from work, anyone know a valid excuse to get outta here?

Few things make me feel as much like an actual bear as parent and toddler swimming, dwarfing all the other parents and being the only hairy person in the whole pool.

Bored on a bus, let's talk music

What is this, a crossover episode? It was great to meet @nickwrites.ca in person while I visited Toronto, even if I had to crouch for this photo!
