I named my fists Deleuze and Gauttari, because of reasons outlined in this 20,000 word essay that jumps to some bonkers conclusions.
I named my fists Strunk and White because if we're doing this, there will be elements of style.
i named my fists Rodgers and Hammerstein cuz theyre always in my own little corner

watching Star Wars with the kids for the first time! it turns out that sometimes you can go home again.

i think what makes Punch-Out! great is how inscrutable it is. i've played this game dozens of times but if you asked me how it decides what's a knockout vs. a knock down, or when to use uppercuts most effectively i have no idea. the systems are opaque

sometimes i read about other people's family experiences and it really blows my mind. like whoa, families can work like that?? like, there's some tension there but it's clear that they care about each other and have a genuine interest in each other's lives? wild.

was trying out a new toque situation earlier for the winter months so here's my checkpoint tribute

today's been a good day (minus a rocky start). not sure what it is, just feeling good about myself and how i look.

going to try to store these warm thoughts for when they're sorely needed in the depths of winter. like an emotional squirrel

chilling out with some Picross. it's absolutely shameful that the new one they put out on Switch runs at 30 fps.

like... all the others run at 60? it's a game where you fill in squares? how does this happen?
