Forcing myself to post something because exposure therapy is good for agoraphobia or whatever. Have a picture of what will eventually hopefully be the sole of a shoe.

So maybe I don't understand science and somebody should tell me I'm wrong, but can't we just grow a bunch of seaweed to sequester the carbon from the atmosphere and then bury it to avoid it being re-released into the atmosphere?

Little late for mending Monday, but I finished the pocket binding on my trash shorts! I used some leftover fabric from altering a pair of pants for my gran so now we match.

Heavily patched cargo shorts laid out on a light-coloured wood floor.

Close-up of the front pocket of the cargo shorts. The edge of the pocket is bound with black fabric with a grey and pink butterfly pattern.

Unfriendly reminder that it is fire season and there is an active burn ban. If I have to put my boots on to go save your house from a fire you started I reserve the right to talk shit about you at the neighbourhood BBQ.

I think we give Victor way too much credit. Dr. Frankenstein? Dude ain't a doctor. He dropped out of med school to be a deadbeat dad.

Drew a little goblin dude. Turned out better than I expected considering it's been years since I've drawn anything. Getting back into things that make me happy.

The babies. They are thriving. Except that one in the back corner, ignore that one, I'm hoping he'll come back. Apple saplings grown from seed.

Four small saplings in square pots on a clear plastic tray with an Aloe Vera in the centre. The sapling in the far corner is mostly dead while the other three are growing well.
