I don't expect anyone to be devasted or anything, but I've made the decision to walk away from my social media.

If anyone is interested why, I detail it on my site:
Why I'm Leaving Social Media www.hylandandme.com/leaving-soci...

Haven't been on here in a while. Apparently, Twitter didn’t get completely abandoned after it became X.

How's it going over here?

Collected a $14 payment today from an indie bookstore that sold 2 of my picture books on consignment.

Printing costs for me were $4.50 per book, it cost me $6 to park at the downtown Toronto location, plus the cost of gas to drive there.

So...a little in the red right now.

Can't believe how many Blu-rays I've bought over the years.

More than 90% came with a DVD copy.

I've got more than a hundred blockbuster movie DVDs that have never been used.

Anyone want them?

Had a cool bonus birthday surprise.

An indie bookstore I gave some of my books to just informed me that they sold both copies of my early reader.

Not my most elaborate book, but it's the one I both wrote and illustrated.

I guess BlueSky doesn't do the birthday balloons like Twitter/X.

Bought myself a couple of presents 🎁

No way my wife would know what I like.

Today was the first official day of fall.

It was the day I took the air-conditioning unit out of the window.

If I've learned one thing from being married to a Filipino, it's that when food is put out for one of their parties, there's going to be something that still has the face on it.

I'm thankful that I'm the one who makes the turkey.

Hope you're having a wonderful Thanksgiving with family.

Hoping that every Canadian celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend can get their turkey to turn out this good.

It's been 15 years since we lost our baby girl Alexandra due to complications during labour.

Oct 7th still feels like a lousy day after all this time

How often do you watch a movie on network TV with commercial breaks when you own it on DVD and can watch it on a streaming service you're a member of?

(Watching Iron Man right now).

My first complaint about what BlueSky should fix is that you can't post a Gif.

If you try to, it just displays as a still picture.

Twitter seems to be going downhill. I'm probably too old for TikTok, and no one wants to see a lot of pictures of me on Instagram.

Let's see if this place is any good.
