Even though I've got a lot of zine ideas cooking1, I've been working on one about my favourite foods. It's going to be called, "foods I could eat my body weight in". Doing the illustrations for the foods has been a great for easing myself back into drawing. Corned beef with cabbage & rice is one of my favourite...
Stream of conciousness excerpt from my journal: 15/4/2026 I was on Pinterest yesterday and saw a Tumblr post that said something like: Today I wanted to read 20 pages of my book and [do something else]. Instead I spent that time scrolling, but I'm not gonna beat myself up over this. This has been me lately! It's not...
I'm "apart" of the communications team at my church, and during a one-on-one Zoom meeting with my boss (pastor's wife). She accidentally clicked on a tab showing ChatGPT's response to her asking to write an announcement for the death of this woman. The saddest part is, my church doesn't care about the ethics of...
I was thinking about Pirate's recent post on how self help books suck, and I agree that fiction is more effective. But I've also been thinking about a "self improvement" strategy (HEAVY on the quotations) I used on my own stubborn brain: Irony. When I was in high school (not very long ago, lol) I really disliked...

Josh Wardle came up with the concept for the game in 2013, and he finished the prototype in 2014 before putting it aside. He got back to it in 2021, taking inspiration from the 'one puzzle per day' format...
Found out today that I have TWO interviews lined up! I've never had a job in my life, just volunteer experiences (which I loved, but still -- I want money!!)
The only time I've ever "believed" was when I was a child. I would have nightmares about burning in hell, my body becoming part of a molten pit of fire. Luckily, I grew up in a really diverse area and went to a public school, so I made 'friends' with all kinds of kids. I didn't really consider them friends because...
strugglesInitially, I did the detox because I felt some old tech habits creeping back in (phone in bed and turning off site blockers in particular). I ended up making good on my promises. Counting the days without siteblockers (20 day streak!), especially further on into the detox process, motivated me to keep...
