Overdosing on fabulousness. Not the guy that gets a happy ending fairy tale. No pot of gold at the end of my 🌈. Lost cause. Miserable c*nt? Purple FTW 💜. (he/they)

I saw that 'peopleWatching returns!' was sitting at 99% ($30CAD) of its goal so I decided to make an additional contribution to get it over the line.

The project is 100% funded!
🥳🥰🎉💜

You've still got time to contribute and score some great perks!

A cropped photo of a journal page. The words "Quote of the Day" are printed, and the following quote (attributed to Amanda Palmer) is written in cursive, metallic green ink: "This is a reminder in case you need it. Everything is going to change. People will leave. They will die. Objects and plans will be lost. Your script as you wrote it will be ripped or burned again and again and again. You are not alone. It's happening to all of us. And I love you."

Today, I was able to experience something I had wanted to do for almost thirty years and it was pretty marvellous!

I'm not a selfie person and post them rarely, but I thought I'd share this one to celebrate.

A nice perk of writing user documentation is that you get to add your own photos. These were taken as a part of my documentation for a visitor kiosk:

Lewis) is written in cursive, metallic purple ink: "Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of."

My copy of Garbage's 2024 rerelease of their 2005 album #BleedLikeMe finally arrived today. I took some time to write about it. It's difficult to truly convey how much this album means to me, but it's a start.

Eternally grateful to #Garbage for this album. ♥️🖤🤍

Annotate the books. Use the china. Wear the clothes until they wear out. Your life should not be a museum."
