Guess I should pin my Carrd here now that I can:

Daniel's Carrd

I'm good at talking, but bad at talking about myself! I'm a voice actor, a YouTuber, and an extremely amateur musician. Also, if you like Beastars, I write fanfiction, because I'm a nerd.

So, I haven't had any steady audiobook work (or voice work (or work) in general) for a couple of months, and I just wanna throw it out there, if anyone knows anyone who needs some voice work, I'm super free right now.

Coming home from an appt. today, and it was nice and not hot (not quite cool), and there was that lovely fallen leaves smell. Really felt like fall for the first time this year.

I ran a Tabasco bottle through the dishwasher and now it looks like an AI tried to draw it.

An empty Tabasco bottle in my hand, but the label has been mixed around torn, and stuck back down in weird patterns after going through the dishwasher, reminiscent of an AI interpretation of the label.

I only cried a little while blending this. Whoo, it's gonna be hot.

A small mason jar filled with bright yellow hot sauce blended from Ho Chi Minh cayenne peppers, onion, garlic, and salt.

Our Ho Chi Minh cayenne peppers were productive this year, so I'm about to make the yellowest hot sauce you've ever seen.

A towel with a little over a dozen bright yellow Ho Chi Minh cayenne peppers from our garden.

Some extremely kind and generous friends surprised the hell out of me by gifting me this gorgeous leather Legosi hood designed and built by @scrapyardlthr.bsky.social

He looks so cool! I can't believe he's mine :)

Me from the chest up in a selfie wearing a leather pup hood designed by Scrapyard Leather to resemble Legosi from Beastars. My shirt is white with dramatic black zig-zag stripes.

Amazing how, after ten years, I can hear that riff at the beginning of Hopes and Dreams and suddenly the memories are flooding back.

I thought Dead Domain summed it up nicely in the video she made on her YouTube channel:

It was a political assassination. Don't celebrate. Don't mourn.

(I think it's now just been changed to Don't mourn, but I like the sentiment of the original)

A slide from IBM in 1979 that says "A computer can never be held accountable therefore a computer must never make a management decision" followed by a tumblr response that says "That. Includes. Hiring. That. Includes. Scheduling. That. Includes. Firing. That. Includes. Approving. Or. Denying. Social. Benefits."

A remix of the slide that says "A computer can never find out therefore a computer must never fuck around."

lol, the account's already deleted.

Remember your 2FA, folks! I hope whoever this scammer hacked gets their account back.

Without going into exhausting detail, it's a conversation between me and a scammer who is trying to phish me, first with a "someone is impersonating you, come to discord and I'll explain it" tactic, then moving on to the "actually, I accidentally reported your account and it's going to be deleted if you don't talk to bsky admin on discord, follow this link to see a screenshot." I very politely reply as if I believe them until I get bored and tell them I'm not going to discord or following any links they send me, and they immediately block me.

Ford's buddies who own commercial real estate in downtown Toronto are afraid of losing money, so they're begging him to make people go back to the office so we're forced to protect their investment for them.

Even Ford's government knows the Therme waterpark is a white elephant, and people in Toronto are going to be staring at its bloated carcass long after Ford is gone www.thestar.com/news/gta/ins...

Inside the Ford government, there was worry the Ontario Place spa was ‘high risk.’ They signed a 95-year lease anyway

Officials questioned whether the spa could be a "white elephant," a term referencing something expensive to keep that offers little relative value.

Oh yeah, that's true! I had forgotten that. The posture of surprise was so cutely comical XD

Daniel - VA/audiobooks @thedhamel.bsky.social · Aug 17

I was surprised it came so close to me! I think it was basically unaware that I was there until it looked up at the end there and did that little lean back :) Thankfully it was a wide open space so there was no chance I could make it feel cornered.

Daniel - VA/audiobooks @thedhamel.bsky.social · Aug 17

Gotta love urban wildlife encounters! I don't think it realized I was there until it looked up at me.
