(he/him) Acrobat, hiker, gardener, fighter, lover. Not necessarily in that order.
Cautiously optimistic about this adaptation. Casting choices, dim lights and muddy audio mix aside, this could be my movie of the year, 2026.

Rainy and cold day. Warm blanket. Hot tea. A soft and snoring derpy dog nestled behind my knee. This is a soundtrack and it’s exquisite:

Doing bicep push-up while balancing upside down on my friend’s feet is how I spend my weekends.

Had someone told me a decade ago that this is how I’ll be spending my free time, I would’ve laughed.

Today’s find at my favorite yarn and books store. Needle tatting instructions and a set of different-sized needles.

And there's a comet!
So this week we've had at least two aurora shows, and now a comet! What stellar portents! 😄
This is comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS). It's not new, but the last time it swung through the inner solar system was ~ 80,000 years ago. So go have a look for it, if there's no clouds
