Huge fan of historical fencing, on a journey to share that passion with others.
What is your favorite #Arthurian legend? Mine is Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and I just did a reading of part 1 for the holiday season. m.youtube.com/watch?v=x6ha...

Remember the Lessons of Sir Gawain.

1. Consent is the sexiest kind of flirtation.

2. Failure only means you now know yourself better.

3. If you're going to kiss a man's wife, be nice and give him a smooch too.

Every year I go see the Christmas lights downtown. It's always such a great time!

Do you ever tell stories you think are normal but turn out to horrify people? Because I get that about the place where I started doing hema.

Button woke up while I was taking a picture of her. She was very annoyed.

I found a company that makes a larp version of the Napoleonic briquette saber. Maybe sometime soon you'll see me larping while cosplaying my vtuber model.

You know climate change is getting bad when we switch from -40 to -20 to describe the worst weather.

I decided to watch The Deluge, because of the famous fight scene. I had no idea it was 4 hours long.

I sold my drum set. I'm a little sad to see it go, but I never found the time to play them.

My history teacher was complaining about people using AI to write reports. I told him that was why I want to teach Hema. You can't chatGPT your way out of a sword fight.

Button studied sword and buckler too hard. Fell asleep.

I am going to make a lasagna for dinner tonight.

If crows invented weapons, what would they look like?

I won this hoodie at a pole dancing contest last summer. They finally delivered it.

The class went really well and it was such a rewarding feeling to see people trying to use what I taught them.

I'd like to think at least a few of them became better fencers tonight.

First time teaching #hema to a group today. I'm so nervous.

This homemade #singlestick guard was a lot more work than I expected, but it works so well.

In my dream last night, I was taking pictures of interesting bugs to show my wife.

I was very distraught when I woke up and didn't have any photos to send her.
November 12, 2025 at 2:27 PM
It's confirmed that I will be teaching a group how to sword fight on Thursday! I am so excited!

My art history project is going to be a report on the art of MS.1.33. That means my entire semester is based around different Hema books.

I managed to recreate the McDonald's big arch sauce!
November 9, 2025 at 9:19 PM
I won the sword and buckler tournament the local larp group put on.
November 7, 2025 at 3:17 AM
I got 238/300 on my art history midterm!

Okay, so the first real sign of getting older just happened. The weather is causing my thumb to hurt in a way it only ever did after a hand snipe at tournaments.

I guess I know what joints I'll start complaining about in five years.
