I really don't love the dystopia I live in sometimes. (I don't want to be greeted with what looks to be anti-trans graffiti in the bathroom stall while I do my business)
Canadian Tire Jumpstart Ad on the back of a bathroom stall door framed with "save women's sports XX" graffiti. While I am not 100% sure, I am pretty confident that this is some nasty TERF anti-trans graffiti which unfortunately makes sense in this province at this time.

I am so thankful for our cats!
Two cats atop blankets. One is black and the other is more of a torbie with some white.

I learned how to gild glass with 24K gold as part of a Gen Con craft workshop! This was fun. :)

Odd. Seems glitchy regardless. I might try again if I knew how much shipping would actually end up being for the three comics I am most interested in.
The three items I am most interested in buying (three short autobio comics). The pricing for the three comics I am most interested in buying, showing shipping at 4 times the price of the items in question.

And we're done! Complete with the mini vignette hidden inside. Gosh I love #Lego. #PACMAN
Little Lego vignette of a female minifig in the 1980s preparing to put a coin in a Pac-Man arcade cabinet in an arcade. The vignette hides inside the larger Lego arcade cabinet The finished product is outstanding! Absolutely love how it moves and lights up. This Lego build of a Pac-Man arcade cabinet is so detailed and lovely.
