making paper Paper pulp and water in vessels Double double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble. On a random day at the end of February this purchased a paper shredder and sat down to make homemade paper. Paper shredder purchase confirmed. Setting aside the fact that the paper shredder is INSANELY LOUD. INCREDIBLY MAKING LOUD NOISE MACHINE. The actual shredding was kind of fun.

side character Photo by Kelly Sikkema on Unsplash Dearest John, Nothing is real except you – therefore I must push past and find peace with my nonexistence. Time outside of you ceases to exist. There is you, then not, then you again. I seek what lies beyond this. John, I can’t explain this. It’s like when the TV goes off. A harsh cut scene.

Dearest John,

Nothing is real except you – therefore I must push past and find peace with my nonexistence.

the agony of the chew Photo by Towfiqu barbhuiya on Unsplash Dear John, I’m afraid that if I have to sit through another dinner listening to you smack, I might smash the wine glass over the table and shove shards into my ears. It’s the most offensive sound, a blemish on earth. John, I refuse to believe this has never been brought to your attention. Surprised your parents didn’t toss you onto the streets I suppose your chewing might have scared even the wolves.

Dear John,

I’m afraid that if I have to sit through another dinner listening to you smack, I might smash the wine glass over the table and shove shards into my ears.

a burn a day keeps the writer away I started to end February in high hopes. I got my braces removed, started my dental procedures afterwards - cleaning and fluoride and cavity finding, and on February 27th burnt the absolute bitch out of my hand.

flame in the flood and the destruction of indie games I've been running through some of my old games on my switch and replaying them while my pockets hurt for cash - feeling the absence of enjoyment after rent and utilities take all my currency for their own enjoyment. I spent a stint playing Fire Emblem Three Houses - thanks to my partner for purchasing the DLC because the Dimitri run was making make want to pull all my hair out.

There's a trend going around the internet right now regarding posting yourself in 2016. I've never been good with video posting so let's give it a wack here. In terms of dates and memories, I'm a bit shit at it. 2016 occurred mid-college and those years are a mess in my head that I…

Book review – The poppy war Happy RFKuanguary! Apparently everyone I know and people I don't are diving into R. F. Kuang's work this January. Technically I'm cheating because I started The Poppy War in December but life is fickle and I make the rules. Let's start off with stating the obvious. I have this insanely innate ability to avoid spoilers. No joke. I've went into many classic movies and shows having completely misinterpreted the plot.

Hello 2026 New Year’s posts are usually full of positivity and good wishes and lots and lots of plans. My problem is that failed plans make me want to scratch my eyeballs out and throw them at the wall. 2025 has been a strange year for me. My highs have been high and lows have been rock bottom. But the failed plans: I didn’t dedicate as much time as I’d like to my website, my writing has gone down and I didn’t complete my novel writing month goals, I can’t keep a consistent exercise regime, neither meal prepping, and I didn’t reach my reading goal amongst a plethora of other things.

Hello 2026

Recycled Journal 2024 Okanagan College | Small Press Publishing Handmade Journal Recycled Journal In my small press publishing class at OC - Kevin McPherson taught us the ins and outs of bookbinding. This journal was a result of old materials and learning how to sew a cover onto a coptic bind. There are some obvious issues. The stitching isn’t as tight as I’d want to be as this was more of a problem solving than perfection project.

Friendly reminder that there’s no such thing as “sex with underage girls”! We have a word for that! That word is “rape.”

Too bad if you were thinking it was a v3 update just in time for Black Friday.

No it’s A-fucking-I Canva merge

I just saw the announcement that Affinity is now a free 3-in-1 app, and I'm suspicious. Free software exists (GIMP, Krita, Inkscape) but none are owned by big tech companies pushing the subscription model like Canva. I feel like there's a catch or bad news coming.

I will write on pen and paper and photocopy each one individually rather than continue to feed this ai infested community that will lead to the production of machine created slop

So right now my options are adobe (ai), affinity (ai), word (ai), google docs (ai)

I will never give my work to these leeches

I was literally going to buy affinity I was literally going to buy affinity I WAS LITERALLY GOONG TO BUY AFFINITY
