Thanks, I appreciate it. I just have so much to do, and it's irritating not having any motivation to get it done, especially when I know it's gonna bite me later. I know you're going through the wringer at the moment too, so sending you big love 🫶
I keep thinking I need to get back into my routine, and start being productive again. But my god, the apathy right now is real.
If the universe can stop throwing crao at me for five minutes that'd be great, I've got stuff to do dammit.
The Disneyland Paris Sleeping Beauty Castle under a patchy, blue sky.
Saw a castle. Cried a bit at a parade. Went on some rides. Feel slightly less crap.
Worth it.
The above post is more about accountability for myself, but hey, if y'all want to join me for the journey, please do. I'd be glad for the company.
This year has been, quite frankly, awful for me on a personal level, but I am going to try and get something out of all of this. Even if it's just spiteful determination.
Goals include finally taking my Pokémon Professor exam, playing more VGC, and doing more with @squidge-eats.bsky.social.

Okay, so ya girl needs an emergency mental health trip, which means Thursday's stream is moving to Friday. We're adding Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness to the schedule though, which is neat.
We'll hit some kind of normality again soon, I promise.
I am well versed in how games can help and heal people, and I think Pokopia has come along at the perfect time for me.
I've hit credits once, but given how my life has shifted in the last week, I think it's time to restart the game. I've got lots of Pokemon friends to make now.
Planning a day trip to Disneyland Paris counts as self-care, right?
I picked up a trial pack of different plywood to test some new materials for my frame Trinkets.
Each type of wood has its own merits, but which is your favourite? I'm partial to #5, the walnut, but the engraving isn't as obvious 🤔
Finallyyyyyy 😁
I will be streaming this starting next week!
I just learned about the Pokémon Live! Musical that existed in the early 2000's, and this is a TRIP.
Someone please make a modern reproduction on YouTube or something 😂
A green and purple medal from the Salem Witch Trials themed virtual challenge by The Conqueror
A gold rimmed, rectangular medal from the Conqueror's Tokyo virtual challenge. The medal is themed around Tokyo, featuring a geisha, the rising sun and the Great Wave off Kanagawa
Okay, the magpie in me is loving these Conqueror challenges.
Two done, and the medals are SO COOL.

I enjoyed that Pokémon Presents very much. Lots to be excited for, and I'm very much looking forward to finally getting my hands on Champions.
Also. Pombon.
That is all.
Pokémon's 30th anniversary logo, featuring Nidoking in front of a stylised, blue number 30, with the text "Pokémon: Since 1996"
Happy #Pokemon30!
#Pokemon means so much for so many reasons, not least because of the friends made through our love of the franchise, be it competing, cards or just the vibes.
Here's to more events, games, streams, and many more incredible memories ❤️ and maybe, just maybe, a photo or two!
Fifteen small stacks of artwork from empty Pokemon TCG booster pack wrappers
I have finally sorted my pack trash.
Some people see a problem, I see ~potential~
Going to try and upcycle all of this!
A clean crafting desk, with a freshly scrubbed cutting mat, with stacks of fake and damaged Pokemon cards on the left side ready for upcycling.
With a buttload of crafting to do in the next few weeks, it was high time I gave my workspace a good sort out.
I honestly don't remember the last time it was this organised 😅
I've got some big Squidge Creates commitments this year, so I'm clearing out stuff in the studio to make it a better working environment, including sorting the insane amount of Pokemon TCG trash I've built up.
I need to think of some more uses, but my first idea is a Pokemon Junk Journal 🤔

Plus, the first episode of my first-ever run through a Persona game drops on YouTube later today!

I wouldn't tell people if I'd won the lottery but there would be signs.
This already fills me with joy, I can't wait for mine to download! 😄
For once, I didn't forget!
The February edition of The Squidge Hub newsletter went up yesterday and covers plenty of topics, including a bit about why I was so AWOL in January.
It's the same for a lot of us, but 2026 hasn't been particularly kind so far, but we persist.

With the opening of PokePark Kanto on the horizon AND Universal Studios looking at a new immersive Pokemon Experience, it seemed like the perfect time to talk about Pokemon foods I want to eat at a theme park!
What would you want to see?

I bought a small walking pad to have in my office, so I can walk while watching streams.
And to try and keep me motivated, I've signed up for one of The Conqueror Challenges! They have one themed around the Salem Witch Trials, so I'm looking forward to witchy learnings while getting my steps in!
Of course, I notice *after* I post this that I can't type, and no, this isn't a schedule for the entire of Feb. The dates should be 02-06 Feb 😅

We're back!
I'm not sick anymore and life things have settled a little, so this week we'll attempt the usual streaming schedule!
If any of these games sound like your kind of thing, come find me over on Twitch or YouTube as DrSquidge 🙂
I had a lot of fun writing this, and I'm looking forward to getting back to DLP at some point so I can add more of my own anecdotes and recommendations.
The whole look and vibe of this place makes my Pokemon-loving heart happy.
And those Kanto starter themed drinks look so cute!
Well. Guess I'd better work my butt off trying to get this theme park food thing off the ground, eh?
