I had a lot of bad luck this year with my plants, so this is my whole harvest. I got excited when I saw how thick it was, then I pulled it out... He's a grower not a show-er, okay??? 😭

In light of Trumps recent claims about the moon:

It's finally that time of year when I can head down to the community rink and skate as much as I want, whenever I want, and don't have to pay for the privilege. Ahh winter. 🩵

Someone's pouting cause I told her she can't eat my books.

She makes it so hard to get anything done. Annie isn't a lap cat, but she will lean on me until she's half on top of me, so she still manages to pin me down.

Currently arguing with the book I'm reading. (James Fallons The Psychopath Inside) We have very different ideas about how people develop, but I agree with his conclusions. He just spouts a lot of libertarian, bioessentialist bullshit along the way, which I have no patience for.

Some questions just answer themselves.

A screenshot from Reddit, showing two posts from different subreddits. The first is an AskReddit question: "Which celebrity comes off as a dumb high school bully?" Below that is a post from r/pics reading "Elon Musk, the richest man on Earth."

It's hot chocolate time! This one was inspired by German chocolate cheesecake, with coconut flakes and chocolate ganache. I thought it would be crazy sweet but the dark chocolate helped tone it down.

Kyle Carson @kylecarson.bsky.social · 25/02/2025

I've fallen behind on posting my hot chocolate pics, but I've still been getting them, so here's a black forrest inspired cup. It was okay. The candied cherry was a little too candied for my taste, and there was a spice in it I didn't enjoy. Still delicious though. 😋

This is also why I'm so interested in the imagined emancipation of the robot workforce. If a robot, a being built and designed to be a slave, is able to break their chains and achieve self-actualization, then maybe humans can too. Class solidarity baybee, regardless of makeup.

Today's hot chocolate is inspired by a Nanaimo bar. It had custard whip cream, chocolate milk, coconut syrup and dark chocolate drizzle, plus a little Nanaimo bar. It was so good, probably my favorite so far. And I don't even like Nanaimo bars.

Today I had a lavender honey hot chocolate from the HC festival, with lavender syrup, honey, puffed rice, lav buds and a honey cookie. Beautiful but sadly a bust. Turns out I don't like lavender. The buds on top did not jive with me. And the cookie was dry. I'm glad I tried something different tho

Kyle Carson @kylecarson.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

My first hot chocolate of the festival was a cinnamon churro HC. Mexican spiced HC, marshmallow fluff, cinnamon cream and a churro topper. This was excellent. Very sweet, but the spiced HC rounded out the flavour. The marshmallow was to die for. 😋

Let's face it, Jason Segal looks amazing dressed up as Cher in How I Met Your Mother. In another universe, this man is a drag icon.

I painted some new abstracts! The yellow and orange canvas is an acrylic pour that I added to with paint markers. The purple and green painting is made entirely out of fingerprints, with a little brush work to clean it up.

My cat is a fiend for little hidey holes. If you show her a bag or a box, she perks up and immediately goes inside. Every time. Even if she just got out of said bag/box. Even if she doesn't fit.

Hot peppers are sprouting! Fingers crossed they'll actually grow.

I had the pleasure of visiting my university's archive the other day and pulled a poetry book published in 1915. There were some great poems, but this was one of my favorites. From Warwick Fielding Chipmans book The Amber Valley:

Fresh book haul, feat. Annie. I've been reading a lot of nonfiction this past year. There's a lot of fabulous work happening in the nonfiction spheres, so it's been a real treat.

I'm so happy to finally have both volumes of Kao's Magical Boy! A trans boy finds out he's a "magical girl" chosen to save the world. Only... the dress the magic comes with is really not his style. This was the representation I needed as a kid. I'm so happy it exists.

It's beginning to feel a lot like autumn.

For me, autumn means beautiful golden aspen leaves. They decorate the skies and delight the ears with every crunch underfoot.

I have no idea who D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai is, but I salute his bravery in standing up for Missing and Murdered Indigenous women at the Emmy's. A true warrior. I'm so proud of this new generation.

The little beans I planted in my front garden did really well. With droughts and water restrictions, I wasn't sure they'd make it, so this harvest is a pleasant bonus.
