I've been out, feet on the ground, volunteering for a mayoral candidate during their campaign. I've voted. I've done what I could. If you're in Ontario, and you haven't voted for your municipal elections yet, you have a few more hours yet! Go do it!

I've never knitted more than a scarf before. I am knitting a cardigan for the first time. Super simple one. I'm just following the pattern and trusting the process right now because I have no idea how this works.

I am getting to the part where I have to use a stitch holder so I can divide for the neck. We're getting into scary territory. Suggestions for good videos that demonstrate how this is done for absolute beginners? #knitting #knitters 🧶

Got off early today so I decided to go to the market. $39 CAD. Loblaws could never. If you are able, shop at your local markets and ma and pa shops. You'll support local small business owners as opposed to billionaires, and you'll save so much money!

Secret easter egg: In Rangers of a Broken World, if you flip the pages fast enough, you'll "scroll" across the lands of Amylte. See it in action for yourself. Instantly get the Prototype PDF (full rules, limited art but includes the page borders) when you back: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

Canadians can’t afford rent. Food bank use is at a record high. Wages are stagnant while the rich are getting richer than ever before. Of all the people who could use this kind of federal support right now, venture capitalists are at the bottom of that list. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

I love that I have friends who purposefully incur psychic damage onto me by sending me bad communications graphics. It's gotten really bad since all the marketing and comms people in games have been laid off. So much psychic damage.

A united Canada must mean more than just rejecting separation. It must mean actually standing up for all of us — building a movement across our differences to make this a country where everyone can live a life of dignity, equality and belonging.

But no amount of punching down by Danielle Smith will fix Alberta’s health care, public education or cost-of-living crises. These are the consequences of years of underfunding, not of newcomers trying to build a life in that beautiful province.

Had a dream that a big ghost cat stalked me and sat on my chest while sleeping in my dream. I remember my dream self thinking, "So this is what sleep paralysis is like," until the thing started biting me. Anyway, woke up terrified. Guess I am up now.

I just mailed the invitations out! I totally made the mistake of getting the wrong side all shiny, though. Ah well. This is for friends. Wisdom gained Now I gotta write and design this thing. 😅

Victoria 🪴@mimimerlot.northsky.social

I wrote a murder mystery for a dinner party with friends and designed postcard invitations for each of them. Each have a little character background for them so they can cobble together a costume. They'll receive more details when they arrive at the party. I haven't designed those cards yet.

@mimimerlot.northsky.social

Ok. Sketched it out. 4 Acts, clues are dropped in each. Act 1 - Cocktail Hour Act 2 - Dinner with a dollop f murder as dessert Act 3 - After Dinner Drinks and Shenanigans Act 4 - Unmasking the Killer

What a game. It blew me away the same way KOTOR blew me away back in the day. The play loop is tight, choices affect mechanics in meaningful ways, narrative is at the top of its game, and it's just neat and tidy, design-wise. I'll be playing Zero Company many times through. A new favourite.

Victoria 🪴@mimimerlot.northsky.social

Oh. Lmao. There is so much more to Zero Company. They really outdid themselves. This game is incredible. I love the cycle and influence mechanics that keep everything tight. The narrative surrounding everything is top notch. Strategic combat is fun. Just so damned good.

Ok. After a rather emotional week dealing with family members in ill health, a family member going into crisis, and other family members working themselves up into a panic and crisis themselves, I am ready to turn off for the weekend. Star Wars Galactic Racer, here I come.*

An important part of beeing a Ranger is the pilgrimage to your Deilith, and after that, traveling to a lot of diferent locations in Amylte. Enviroment is important on the setting and mechanics. So I literally make the reader travel thru all reagions as they pass the pages 💚

As I was gawking at the preview PDF, I realized that the page ornaments are a flipbook style animation of moving through a landscape. One of the most clever layout touches I've ever seen. Turn off scrolling in your PDF reader to appreciate. Amaze.

Executive dysfunction, hands down.

If you have ADHD (diagnosed or very strong suspicion) I have a question for you What ADHD symptom/quirk/characteristic has been the most detrimental to your life to date? For me, it’s my challenge w attention to detail & my terrible memory. I’ve lost more jobs than most ppl work their whole lives

Though, how perimenopause affects me with ADHD is also up there. My brain has a difficult time with hormone regulation to begin with. So when the hormone that regulates the other hormones starts going haywire? No good.
