what if figure skaters physically fought each other for dominance on the ice? What if they wrestled? On the ice?

I started making my own salad croutons because making your own is significantly cheaper than buying pre-made ones. Unfortunately they ended up tasting too delicious & that’s why I ate an entire loaf of bread in less that a week. 😑

Downhill skiing is incredibly terrifying to watch. Flying down a mountain at 130km, no thanks. The drone shots are really cool and show super well how bonkers this sport is! #Olympics

I was surprised by this book! I've read 3 bonkers horror books in a row & was looking for something grounded & kinda normie, was not expecting the lovely queer journey of self acceptance. Reccomended!

I made a little comic celebrating something nice in the world that my family loves. It can also serve as a recommendation for those of you who are (or are considering becoming) parents. Finding joy where you can is a survival skill in bizarre and awful times. I ‘ll fix the typos (I just noticed!)

I'm hoping to take a trip to Ireland with my mom (she's never been outside Canada/US) & it was wild to find out how tiny Ireland's population is. It feels like such a mythical, important country, yet it's so small.

The last time I saw my grandmother, she told me "men were changing their gender to win at women's sports" so I guess I better send her this! I'm sure it'll change her mind!
A new systematic review has found that trans women on HRT have the same level of fitness as cis women and don't retain any advantage in sports.

Fingers crossed we get the sequels to Lucas Wars in English asap! I assumed it was stand alone, thrilled to find out there are 2 more books.
I'm hoping @23rdstbooks.bsky.social will be publishing the two sequels as well. I assume so, since everyone that's read it seemingly enjoys it. I'm looking forward to seeing this little guy... #StarWars #comics

I've reached the point in my life that my usual methods of putting caffeine into my body just doesn't hit the way I need it to.

I really enjoyed Lucas Wars, a graphic novel about the making of Star Wars. Deeply inspiring, showing how a messy, fraught production by a bunch of visionary weirdos made one of the most important movies of the 20th century. And look at the art! So good! 😭

I'm listening to the audiobook of Frankenstein (first time!) and I'm a little surprised how different the story is from del Toro's adaptation. I dunno, he's such a fan I assumed he'd stick very close to the book.

Every day, millions of Americans are paying vast sums of money to watch vertical dramas: absurd melodramatic movies, chopped into 70 pieces.

I’ve been enjoying this season of Drag Race so much, love a season of well established queens who have careers outside the show. Love Athena playing La Grande Dame & not understanding why ppl don’t want to work with her, love Darlene, Mia Star & Juicy. Great to see the show find its legs again.
