the reason for this is is my gaming name (red ensign) has been adopted as a symbol by white supremacist asshats and it's fucking tainted now. I had the name because it was our flag during the time period of a game I played. they're using it in a 'make canada great (white) again' sense. fuck them.

fall is starting. I feel it, and I'm excited. this week the overnight lows are just over freezing. fall and winter are my jam. I need a new fall jacket though. I got the new parka for winter but my windbreaker is old too and needs replaced.

I'm telling james may on you.
