A person standing on a porch. They are wearing a black jacket, a purple shirt with a white Poké Ball design, and a cap with an iridescent Poké Ball design. The person is holding a plush toy of Jigglypuff, a character from Pokémon.

“Jigglypuff! I choose you!”

Happy Halloween, besties 💜

I set a Goodreads challenge to read 20 books this year. Last year it was 45, and I still overachieved. As of last night, I completed the goal! There are still two series I hope to finish before the end of this year and I think I can do it.

Got two marketing emails from DAVIDsTEA today (one in English, the other in Canadian French) telling me the advent calendar is now available for purchase.

It's the middle of September.

So I used today to edit and complete several videos which should put me to the beginning of October in my content calendar. At least I was productive

My six year relationship with my boyfriend came to a close the other day because he all ot a sudden decided he wasn’t ready to get engaged and move forward and would rather focus on having financial stability (which he hadn't even been doing) instead of building a life together.

In case you forgot (because I certainly did), I've been working on a #CodeLyoko fic since 2017! The upload details aren't accurate as I migrated from FF to AO3, but here is the FINAL CHAPTER of Lyoko Plus Two!

I had the most delicious challah French toast for breakfast this morning

my father has a pretty strong Boston accent and to this day whenever he says "seltzer", I don't know if it's seltzer or salsa without context

A red anthropomorphic lobster plush dressed in a white T-shirt with red collar and cuffs that says Here to Spill the Tea in red, blue, and glittery gold. The T-shirt has a sketch of a Colonial style shop with the Build-À-Bear logo on it. The lobster is also wearing light blue frayed denim shorts, and darker blue sandals. They are holding a plush lemonade in a cup with a straw sticking out of it. Atop their head is a navy blue Red Sox cap. They are sitting on a wicker chair with blue upholstery and a white toss pillow behind them.

Build-A-Bear really got me with their lobster plush. Meet Léonie 🦞

Thank you! ❤️

I woke up this morning to find I'd unlocked ad revenue on my gaming channel!

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

Spotify DJ: Hey you got The Cab on your listening history, maybe you'll like Fall Out Boy
[plays Sugar We're Going Down Swinging, which I listened to a copious amount as a tween]

can we talk about how the "prequel" I've been working on for my novel is at like 28,000 words and counting?? and I have no idea how that happened?
maybe this should be the book

it is day 4 of me thinking about this 🤺

Update: I reached out to The Carroll Center regarding community blind fencing and apparently their coach is the owner and founder of International Fencing Club of Boston—which makes A LOT more sense as to why they're partnering with them.

It's actually been something of interest to me for the last few years as I've been working on my OC who's a visually impaired fencer but that's beside the point. I was in sports alongside sighted peers as a kid and never really did adaptive sports so I'm sure I could fence alongside them as well.

idk I know I don't post here that often but I think it's really neat and if I'd known about fencing as a general sport when I was younger, I know I would've wanted to do it.

It's not as hyped as goalball, blind soccer, or other adaptive sports (for blind people specifically). The only place I know of in New England that offers it is The Carroll Center, but it's not a recreational thing that anyone can sign up to do like their SailBlind program.

The International Blind Fencing Competition is coming to Boston later this summer in a push to recognize the sport for the Paralympics, and it's made me think about how, at least from my perspective, no one talks about blind fencing.

Fawn got a new raincoat! The one we've had from Ruffwear for the last ten years no longer fit her properly from neck to tail 🩷🐥

Dorothy the black and white pit mix sits on a pile of towels, curled up next to an emergency vet tech. she looks sad and exhausted as she peers off to the left of the frame.

Dorothy, a black and white pit mix, being introduced to a litter of 5 very young puppies. she feeds them, and at one point, they are crawling all over her. she is officially a MOM.

a black and white pit mix with large, warm brown eyes stands between a person's legs and stares right into our very soul. her snoot is so close yet so far, and we are very tempted to boop it.

This is Dorothy. She was pregnant with a single puppy and needed an emergency C-section. Tragically, her puppy didn't survive. The same day, five puppies were surrendered to her rescue, and she stepped up for them. Help us cover this loving mama's emergency care below ❤️‍🩹

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace.

If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

A cooling rack placed on a countertop, holding a total of 15 red velvet donuts. These donuts are arranged in three rows, with five donuts in each row. Each donut is topped with a generous layer of white frosting, which is spread unevenly across the surface, allowing some of the red velvet to peek through. The donuts are evenly spaced on the rack, allowing air to circulate around them.

Not the prettiest in the world (I need to work on my icing skills and also never use this icing recipe again), but I made red velvet donuts! Not pictured are three extra donuts and a single cupcake because we had leftover batter.
