Some countries greet their athletes with nationalism.
Canada greets them with belonging.
That's the Canada I believe in. We're a country that leads with kindness, not fear.
Proud of this. Proud of us.🍁

The antidote to the nightmare isn't a perfect argument. It's a life.
Community. Art. Rest. Humour. Boundaries.
And choosing decency even when it's not rewarded.
That's how you stay human.

Apparently we've reached the era where hypocrisy is not a dealbreaker, cruelty is a feature, and truth is optional, as long as it's helping the "right" people win.

You learn how to hide your shaking voice. You talk about everyday things because those moments still belong to you both.

I joined a self-improvement program.
Step one was admitting I needed help.

Making art for no reason is still a reason. It unlocks curiosity, interrupts overthinking, and reminds me that joy doesn't have to justify itself.

I think I need to unplug for a bit.
The news is hitting harder than usual, and even though I'm only a witness to the chaos and sadness, it's been seeping into me in a way I can't shake.
The last few days have left me feeling heavy, paralyzed, and maybe even a little scared.

I genuinely don't understand how people in the US function daily under the nonstop lies, gaslighting, hypocrisy, and daily idiocy.
At this point, surviving the news cycle counts as cardio.

The tell is simple.
Heroes are terrifying to villains and reassuring to everyone else.
If your presence makes people tense, quiet, or afraid, and you equate this with "respect", you're not the hero of the story.

Some believe being a man means being terrifying to everyone.
Aragorn spends most of his time lowering his sword, protecting the weak, and reassuring scared people.
If you're scary to civilians and comforting to no one, you're not a hero. You're the problem in Act One.

The next couple of days are dedicated to getting organized and making my home office feel fun again.
Right now, it's just a landscape of post-reno boxes and mild despair, and next week is going to be busy. I'd like my environment to be on my side.

Just so there's no confusion... if we're alone and I casually mention I know all the words to Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus" in German and then start singing it?
