Huge fan of historical fencing, on a journey to share that passion with others.
I'm making new #singlestick guards. Once I finish attaching these I'll have a decent number for when I start my club.

My cat is a better sword fighter than your cat.

I just had a sword cutting related stress nightmare. I had to use a rusty 1796 light cavalry saber to cut a bottle cap off the tailgate of a brand new pickup truck!

I did a little bit of singlestick vs. rapier today.

Button thinks the bag of Hugs is a bag of treats, and she assumes I am keeping them for myself.

Remember: People should invite you to play DnD because they think you're cool, not because their group needs a cleric.

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.
November 14, 2025 at 9:56 PM
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.
November 14, 2025 at 5:34 AM
First time teaching #hema to a group today. I'm so nervous.
November 13, 2025 at 5:11 PM
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.
