Running a very slow diy label is funny 'cause it's often just...there, until you get an email that makes your eyes go BIG

Living in small town Ontario means I often feel I have to hide or downplay my gender non-conformity, shrugging my shoulders when people misgender me constantly That being said, I have never felt enby rage like when my mother continues to mess up my pronouns

I know it means very little in the scheme of things, but I've been crushing at Magic lately and it's been very good for my brain. Feel like I'm finally locking in. TLDR: I won a Pauper tournament today and have won my last three tournaments in a row

Finding my way back to screamo has been really wonderful and healing. Some days all I'm doing is hanging with my pets and vibing too damn hard.

Trying to combat posting about my life / what I'm up to without feeling cringe about it. Small town life is peaceful but weird in it's own way I'm playing entirely too much Arena (see below) Helped release a sick new cassette demo by pals Body Nest (also below) Screamo still rules

Leaving Toronto with more good feelings than bad and sometimes that's the most you can hope for.

There are a fair few downsides to relocating to a small town. That being said, I've been sitting in my backyard at night and watching fireflies and, yeah, that's really nice.

Spoke to a Venezuelan grandmother next to me on the train who was visiting her grandchildren in Canada through Google translate and my broken childhood Spanish and oh man, do I miss my grandma so bad right now.

Took the streetcar in the least convenient route to be able to listlessly appreciate some of the city before leaving for good. Big feelings for someone with a bunch of magic cards in their bag.

Gave my notice in at work and will no longer be commuting 4+ hours to Toronto for my inflexible job. Took a job at the local cafe / bookstore and while I'm nervous, I'm excited to prioritize the health and happiness of myself and my family moving forward. Feeling truly like a small townie now.

Haven't really talked to anyone about it yet, but I'll no longer be in Toronto for much of anything beyond an odd visit soon. Excited but also scared at the prospect.
