Seeing so many women I admired for being loud and outspoken suddenly shrink into silent wilting flowers is incredibly disappointing

We may not have won the WS, but I love my Blue Jays so so much. We had an incredible season and have many reasons to be happy and proud today. Including but not limited to:
Ernie's sassy slutty little slide moment.

Current embroidery project, a cute little gift for a dear friend. My new needle minder is the cutest thing in the world.

For the first time in a couple of years I have a job opportunity in the industry I love, with people I trust, in a neighborhood that's safe for my anxiety. 2026 we overcome the agoraphobia!!

La Zavaleta shouting "You're about to look RIDICULOUS!" Followed by footage of her storming out and hugging a tree is peak television @bbdragula.bsky.social

Two guppies, one with a longer body and broad orange tail, the other is shorter, rounder, and more pigmented pink/orange scales The long guppy has a tiny piece of duckweed in his mouth

And finally we have Andy and Ollie. Less so for being identical and more so about constant immediate proximity to one another.
Ollie is longer with a wider tail
Andy is shorts with heavily pigmented pink and orange iridescent scales

A smaller guppy with yellowy-pink iridescent scales and a dark burnt orange tail

Next up we've got Gill, he's got the darkest orange tale of the group, and is a bit of a loner, usually off on his own, but also the first to greet me when I walk by. He's named after Gill from The Great North, it just felt suitable for him

A guppy with pale colourful iridescent scales and bright orange fins, his tail fin has a line of iridescence running through it

I've finally named my guppies and would like to share:
First up we have Neptune, he's definitely the "prettiest" and likely the gentleman my partner will use in her breeding lines.
I love his rainbowy-pink iridescent scales, and his unique tail pattern

The polite size of the sake cup helps us to enjoy the drink.

A pint of Guinness, "split the G"

Split the G, just to make a point.

Two little guppies with shimmery pink scales and orange fins. There is guppy grass in the water with them. Set against a pink background

Oh golly! Oh gosh! Oh Guppies!

New little friends are settling in. So pink, so shimmery, so cute!🩷💖

Sooooooo any updates on the people that quit their jobs and sold their homes/cars/personal belongings for yesterday's rapture? Did they ascend? Are we free of them? Or are they now all without homes/cars/personal belongings/jobs? I'm so curious!

Flowers at the entrance of Christie Pits park in Toronto

Fighting the agoraphobia with a trip to Christie Pits.
Nazi free since 1933.

AND while all this was happening I found out my city came together and chased a bunch of alt-right shit bag Nazis out of Christie Pits.

THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A GOOD BIRTHDAY, YOU GUYS 🥳

I spent the first half of my birthday at the Toronto Pet Expo, and the second half adventuring to my cottage with my loves for AN ENTIRE WEEK. I am having the best day

A small gold box with a circular opening, wax with thread marks can be seen inside

A close up of the same little gold box with a vintage Gillette trade mark emblem. The words stamped into it are: "MADE IN USA" "TRADE MARK" "GILLETTE" "KNOWN THE WORLD OVER"

When my great aunt passed away I acquired many little trinkets, one of which was a tiny old Gillette razor holder. I recently discovered it is perfect for my thread wax and I get to use something that reminds me of her every day

Yesterday was a bust, rain and exhaustion kept me inside. But today I rode an electric bike from the park to a nearby plaza for the first time! Glad I've got a partner that encourages me to join her on little adventures

I've managed to go out 5 days in a row. Some outings were short and no further than the park, and last night my outing took me to the Jays game with my family. I'm feeling so proud of myself 💪

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

A river with low water and rocks, there are ducks in the river and trees lining the side of the river

Spent time in a river with my partner and some ducks today. Spending time in nature is so healing. I need to get away from city living ASAP

Grief anniversary got you feeling blue?
Embrace the blue. BECOME THE BLUE.

Sometimes "busy hands quiet mind" can only go so far and we've gotta set stuff down and deal with what's getting to us.

And by "deal with" I mean have a smoking/venting session with your amazing partner and get the support you're needing

I'm both proud of and furious with myself over this one. Proud of my dedication, furious with my over ambitious ways

Grief and mourning popping up around event anniversaries is weird on its own, but having it happen while hopped up on dental surgery meds adds a whole new layer of strange

Pain med time loops and such

They legitimately fear books more than guns

Y'all what the hell have I done to myself?
Just kidding, I love it.
