My entire personality is going to be Vancouver Fashion Week for the foreseeable future. This show was such a big achievement for me, and I’m overjoyed by how well it went. My designs looked unbelievable out there!!

YouTube is doing an annual summary feature like Spotify, and after checking mine out, I’ve determined that my viewing habits are simply none of my business.

What’s your favourite unusual holiday season ritual?
Every single year, I HAVE to watch all of the Nigella Lawson Christmas specials on YouTube. I don’t even do a lot of holiday cooking and entertaining, it just simply doesn’t feel like Christmas without it.

It never fails: finally get enough energy back after being sick to change and wash the bedding, and the cat pukes on the bed the very next day. 🫠

We’re watching the new episodes of Stranger Things and I have to wonder if the costume designer has it out for Eleven, to exclusively put her in ugly outfits for two straight seasons. Season 3’s looks were so good and they’ve been awful since then. The workout outfit is just hateful.

It's a small thing but I love how rather than dressing up these women in blatant cosplay, they do subtle styling and hair accessories to telegraph who's who
Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

I caught a cold after getting home from vacation, and it has weirdly helped the transition back to real life since I’m forced to take it easy and not jump right back into being productive. Meanwhile, my Stardew Valley farm hasn’t been so efficient in years.

In bed before 8:30pm thanks to mild jet lag and an exhausting travel morning that started at 2:45am.
It would have been fine, we went to bed early… but despite the fact that we were staying at a quiet peaceful adults-only resort, some frat house fuckheads decided to have a room party at midnight.

There is something incredibly freeing about being 40 and wearing a bikini at a resort where nobody gives a shit about how you look and everyone just has normal human bodies of various shapes and sizes. Everyone is happy and having fun. The internet and influencer culture aren’t real life.

Cancún has been dreamy. 💖 Tomorrow is somehow our last day already, but we’re going to make the most of it!

What a morning: I had awful travel anxiety nausea and caused us to leave late, and the hatchback SUV Uber we took to the airport had the back come open, my SUITCASE FELL OUT, and nobody noticed. If we hadn’t turned back because of a train crossing, that would have been game over for our vacation. 💀

Nothing like sharing my new manicure on my stories and having a “friend” ask what they were (acrylic, shellac, etc) and when told that they’re hard gel, for them to say that they’d never do that because they don’t want to “ruin their nails”.
What a bizarre and rude thing to say.

Every time I’ve been out on transit lately, someone has been watching videos with the volume up on their phone or loudly FaceTiming without headphones, and I really just wish I could perfect a withering look that would brick their phones.

I enjoyed teaching part-time sewing for the last few months, but on review, it just isn’t viable to work evenings so far from home. It either takes almost 2 hours to get home if the buses line up, or an Uber ride that costs almost as much as I made in 1 class. I still feel sad to give it up though.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.
The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

There’s nothing like being sick and having your upstairs neighbour decide that today is the day they’re going to be randomly hammering things, and it’s always going to be directly above whichever room you’ve moved to for a nap. 🫠
