I'm sorry, do you honestly think I'm gonna read your lil essay about how it's okay when Carney does the same things Harper did? Because the nebulous ends justify the rightwing means? That's just pathetic. You're supporting a rightwing political party, the least you can do is grow up and own it.

i decided to organizer my entire photo reel for reasons and came across a clip of me talking to one of my kids in 2020. i sounded like i was talking from a bottom of a cave or something i have never been gendered correctly for my voice by it was heartening to hear just how far I'd come

this northwestern crow hangs out on mine and my neighbours roofs and the fence between our houses pretty much every day. it waits until my asshole neighbour across the street leaves for the day and rips the shit out of her yard looking for grubs, it’s great.

it’s usually pretty hard to get pics of the birds around my house because of the density of the bushes but i managed to get one of a pair of black-capped chickadees making an absolute racket in my plum tree

QOTD: What car do you want most, but know would be an absolutely miserable experience to own? I don't have a place to put one and I live in a rain forest. I'm terrified wasps and the places I'd take this to are full of them. However, bombing down an FSR to a bush party in this would be incredible.

finished what has been the most complicated DIY build I’ve done so far, an Erica Synths Bassline. still waiting on the as3340 so i can actually turn it on and calibrate. here in all its naked, janky glory and passably clothed in front panel

A close up photo of the control board, on the left, and the main board, on the right, of the Erica synths DiY eurorack synth voice module. The boards are densely packed with ICs, resistors, capacitors, diodes, jacks, switches and potentiometers

The black front panel of my Erica synths DIY bassline euro rack synth voice module. It has an array of shiny black knobs on the top half and a spread on switches and jacks on the bottom half. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.

oh hey, it’s been almost a year since I painted minis and i built up the will power to try again. continued work on Clubber Laine from gaz minis i was going to do yellow boots and started with the requisite pink underlayer but might just stick with that and tone it down a smidge #nerdlings

The models skin is green and it’s wearing a crop style red leather jacket, purple skirt with ivory trim, turquoise tube top and shorts, and aggressive neon pink boots. The model is blowing a bubble that is painted blue and wielding a large spiked club that is primed grey and it yet to be painted.

Visited the Ucluelet aquarium where everything is caught, visits the aquarium which is pumped with water directly from the harbour, and released within nine months back to where it was caught from. They release more creatures than they catch because sea life comes in through the pipes and stays.

A good portion of the queer folks I’ve interviewed for my thesis cry in pride, excitement, or other positively affiliated emotions and I think that’s gotta be its own finding right there. Our stories and experiences matter.

the other beaks has been built. this thing has me fucking giddy. i really wish i had gotten into diy modular ages ago, this scratches every hobby and music related itch i had for years. So many gleeful self high fives were given tonight

An overhead photo of a modular synthesizer on a desk. The case is white with light wood end caps and full of modules. From left to right the modules are MiaW Gris (MI Grids clone) drum sequencer, two MiaW Beaks (MI Peaks clone) multifunction module being used here as drum synths, WGD Peach unison VCO, WGD Gelato low pass filter, MiaW A D S R envelope generator, MiaW SITH sample and hold, Cre8audio Cellz voltage generator, Cre8audio chipz dual VCO & LFO, and finally a MiaW ASMR mixer. There are a rainbow of cables connecting the modules together.

getting this together has made me so damn happy. i now have a generative drum synth where I built every piece in the signal chain myself. serious unbridle joy at this and i still have another module to add in.

wave 2 of my decent into diy modular arrived today. a bunch MI through-hole reworks and some originals from sourcery studios. put together the five channel mixer today. if i stick to DIY i’m pretty sure this will remain an affordable hobby i think maybe probably not, but i can fool myself for now

i have a relatively negative self image - mostly brain worm driven, yes - but the one thing i've always liked is having curly hair, with a minimum amount of work it could look real good i loved it and the past tense it will remain 'cuz it's started to straighten out in the last two months why
