I live in a housing co-op, I work for (and am a member of) a union and I use public transit.
I make art with needles 🪡
I'm bored of the internet 😑
Second piece. Forgot I was making toast. My toaster takes like ten minutes to toast to a golden brown, so I forgot for at least fifteen minutes.

First piece. Dropped it when I took it out of the toaster. Which, normally, who cares, I’m not picky. Only it landed upside down, revealing the second, mouldy side of the bread.

Real missed opportunity here

Look, if you’d made focaccia this weekend, you, too, could be having an epic sandwich for lunch today.

The org is not the top hit in an account search, and when I visit their page, those images are blurred out. But many posts are visible in a search when I tap the “for you” tab

Just under three years ago, I bought a space heater with a five year warranty. It's a good one. It's made of steel!

Over the past couple of weeks, it has started to conk out. It used to pump out heat like a blast furnace, but now it's more like a summer breeze.

I love my home but you guys this is the temperature of an INSIDE wall

I wake up every day with a song in my head. Today it was Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough by Michael Jackson.

Some days I also have a word or phrase rolling around. Today that was "foul brine of the bovine breast."

(Note: song in my head like earworm, not song in my heart like joy.)

Why have I just noticed the distressed “grunge” texture in the x icon? 100% used this texture to make posters in Coreldraw in 1997 😭

• Lincoln in the Bardo
(I found this a painful slog to read, I think partly because it was ugly on the page (screen) but it was a fucking delight to listen to)
• Everything Sad Is Untrue
• Babel (I had the audiobook & the ebook at the same time and this is my new favourite thing)

Movies I liked best this year:
• Anora
• Flow

Books I liked best:
• No One Is Talking About This
• Priestdaddy

Audiobook favourites: [first: this year, I finally understood the audiobook appeal, when I ditched every US news podcast and found myself with hungry ears and extra time.]

No kid runs outside to play in the first winter rainfall

I moved from Vancouver to Ottawa 18 years ago and was so happy to trade endless rain for blue skies and mountains of snow. Even when it meant 56 cm falling 10 days before the first day of our first spring. Now cold and crisp has been replaced by damp and dreary and I am not pleased.

Personally, I would not have capped off an #inkvent calendar with a full bottle of black ink, but there are so many tiny bottles of joy here, who am I to criticise? #dec25 #diamine

Pine needles and salted caramel. I know I said scented inks are a terrible idea, but if you’re going to scent ink at all, surely these are the two to pick? #dec23 #dec24

I got greedy with #dec22 and wanted a nice drop of ink to showcase the shimmer but instead I got a kind of crummy splotch

Sampling a different ink every day has made me realise that I prefer sheen to shimmer. I love LOVE this ink. #diamine #inkvent #dec21

I wasn’t keen on this one two nights ago. It might be growing on me. Very grateful this one is not scented 👃 #dec20 #diamine #inkvent
December 23, 2024 at 4:13 AM
I think scented is a terrible idea, full stop, but this one was especially horrid. Love that it looks like a highlighter though #inkvent #dec19

Spilling that bottle of all over my dining table dampened my enthusiasm for this little exercise somewhat. That Vibe is gorgeous though, phew #dec16/17/18

I cannot deny the sheen is, indeed, extreme #dec15 #HoHoFuckingHo

I think it’s time to secure OUR southern border. Brick it the fuck up.
