Yeah, I'd be up for hanging out! I'll DM you my profile so we can find each other. I really enjoyed the show! I may have turned the volume down on a couple other guests. 😅 (Guessing there was some live translation happening there though so no shade to them, just personal preference)

@lucidvirtuality.bsky.social I think we were at the same VR performance today? I should have said hi but I was catching up with a friend (and also got shy)

(No idea what the context is here) I saw a body language person talk about someone recently and they were pointing out stuff (microexpressions specifically) I hadn't consciously noticed but that dude gave me a bad, bad vibe. You might be picking up on something similar subconsciously.

This was such a phenomenal talk for anyone working in indie marketing (especially if you're doing the too-many-hats type of marketing where you gotta do EVERYTHING) - well worth the @gdocexpo.com ticket price to watch this one alone! (Lots of other great talks too!)

Specularium has been my favorite so far... had a lot of trouble deciding on one image for the first post.

I’ve been checking out some of the Venice Immersive works in @vrchat.com over the past few days. Very cool! It’s only there for a little bit longer, check it out while you can!

OK so I don't feel like I have a great shot at getting in, but I would have had zero chance if I didn't try. And it was kinda neat to look back at all the cool arts stuff I've done over the years... music festivals and concerts, plays, voice acting, creative programs and festivals.

However, I am getting close. Technically I could submit now (attachments are attached, two of three media samples submitted), but I want to get a pdf of my larger portfolio.

Application due in two hours. Still missing one attachment and two to three supporting media. OK adhd, time to LOCK IN.

Working on something less than 24 hours before it's due. I've known about it for like a month. ADHD has really failed me today.

Supposed to hike up a mountain today but kiddo has a migraine last night and I’m running on like 3.5 hours of sleep 😩

If you're in Calgary, I would highly recommend Lazy Day Raft Rentals, it is so smooth and drama-free every time I deal with them. Can't wait to go float the Bow River this weekend!

Some people's bodies just process the freezing so much faster... my husband is one of them, he needs extra long for it to kick in & higher doses. Unfortunately it looks like the kids inherited it. 😩 Hope you get through it ok!

And like I am going to have to make a number of very long road trips in August if that strike drags out and I *still* support it.

It remains absolutely bonkers to me that flight attendants in Canada don't get paid until the plane leaves the gate. You need to be there, in uniform and doing necessary tasks? You should be paid. endunpaidwork.ca/right-to-strike

WestJet’s flight attendants are fighting to bring back the airline you deserve. They need public support to stop the race to the bottom.

The thing that gets me about the $13 Billion data center coming to my province is all the politicians talking about it like it's going to be so! much! investment! here and I'm like, my dudes most of that is probably going to Nvidia.

Anyways I’m glad I went to Grassi a couple times already because who knows when we’ll be able to again.

Ok I’m starting to understand the dislike for hiking influencers. Just saw a video today for a hike with no mention that the area was closed due to ROCKSLIDES and still in imminent danger of MORE ROCKSLIDES.

Going to enjoy a blissful 24 hours of unemployment. I really hope a bunch of my friends don't get laid off like the last time I was in between jobs for a day. 😅

Finally started Flock Around from @secretplangames.bsky.social and I am HOOKED. Love that I can recognize the bird songs and calls since we've got a lot of the same birds here! My only criticism is the Canadian Geese are not NEARLY aggressive enough. Those things are scary af in real life.
