While I'm recognizing growth through practice and doing the work... I'm mostly posting these over at @gremlin.fashion, but it's been about a month of daily drawing (1-2 hours a day most days) and I'm shocked at how far I've come.

The skate trail is OPEN for the season. I... might have been down there, skates on, waiting for the gates to open :3

They let me in a little early and I was the first to complete a lap this season. We're So Back

I have only the vaguest idea of how many calories I *need*, but I have a very clear idea of how many noodles I *want* after biking uphill for 15km to the handmade noodle place 18h after eating anything more substantial than a small bowl of fruit, and it is "all of them"

silver linings: if we're going to have this ridiculously early and hard and dark winter -- at least the City rinks are open early!

hello from Bellwoods, where it's time for my first outdoor skate of the season

today is Finland's independence day! I learned this because one of my favourite tumblrs is a herd of Highland cows in Finland, because I am always on brand www.tumblr.com/highlandcatt...

I'm having enough fun with the silly doodling (and sharing) and I've been at it for almost a month so I'm gonna keep at it. Plus with Fanfest next year there's going to be a Lot of Posts. But I don't want to overwhelm those who aren't into it, so game content is now here: @miss-chicken.bsky.social

in which it suddenly dawns on me that I own my place and could commission my favourite mural artist to do a wall. Turns out she has a google form for exactly this 🤔

what good is owing a bank a small country's GDP if you don't do something silly with it that brings joy

The best American Thanksgiving feast in the city is, of course, at a New Zealander immigrant bar

I'm not good at drawing/art, but I like to try. A couple of friends in FF14 have been encouraging me to practice more. We go to these "art parties" where people doodle each other or do artsy screenshots or hang out and vibe, then post and share. I'm... not awful! And it's fun to try. #lofiartparty

Finally have a family doctor again. And he's rad. Great first impression. If any of my fellow Toronto queers are in need, let me know, he has room (but probably won't for long). Junction area.
