If something stinks, I'm your "man". I can smell incoming sickness1, the compost a day or two before it needs to go out, when someone has recently been in a room. Winter has a scent too2, and so does tap water, depending on how it's been...
Even though I've got a lot of zine ideas cooking1, I've been working on one about my favourite foods. It's going to be called, "foods I could eat my body weight in". Doing the illustrations for the foods has been a great for easing...

Found out today that I have TWO interviews lined up! I've never had a job in my life, just volunteer experiences (which I loved, but still -- I want money!!)
The only time I've ever "believed" was when I was a child. I would have nightmares about burning in hell, my body becoming part of a molten pit of fire. Luckily, I grew up in a really diverse area and went to a public school, so I made...
strugglesInitially, I did the detox because I felt some old tech habits creeping back in (phone in bed and turning off site blockers in particular). I ended up making good on my promises. Counting the days without siteblockers (20 day...
Days without turning off site blockers: 20 Today I spent 30 minutes doing interpretive dances to ringtones and alarms with my sister.
I unexpectedly got a new phone yesterday, a Google Pixel 10. No, I didn't install Graphene OS on it, or any OS. I can't -- it's contracted. I'm de-Googling the best I can by turning off all the slop and bloatware and using FOSS apps. The...
