@daveycraney @torb definitely a strong recommendation from me. And the photography aspect of it is always gonna hook me. I’m also playing Season.. which has a camera mechanic. :)

🎮 I got bored of Fortnite so I stopped playing. But then they made a new mode called Blitz and it’s a blast. Me and my kid have been playing it a lot. It’s all I need from Fortnite tbh

One day I will be fully formed and complete. And then everything will be ok. The world will fade from view, and so will I.

🎥 I just watched Forrest Gump for the first time in a very long time. So so good. Much better than I remember it being. Its sad and heart warming at the same time.

❤️‍🩹 When I have a change of social circumstances (my son just went home) I go through this kind of jarring identity shift: I don’t know who I am, and I feel lost for a little while. I have to have some quiet time in a dark room until I can collect my spoons again. It’s wild! #neurodiverse

A jar of Vegemite is sitting on a green cutting board. It has a yellow lid and is dark brown with a yellow label with an overlapping white import label on the left hand side. The label says Vegemite B Vitamins for Vitality proudly made in Australia since 1923. Behind the jar is a white keyboard.

Throw a jar on the barbie mate 😍

Album art for Oh Sailor by Mr Little Jeans

I can’t remember why, or when I added this song to my library. But it’s awesomely happy and light! Currently checking out the album too.. 🎵 #nowplaying Oh Sailor by Mr Little Jeans https://albumwhale.com/aeryn/song-blast#album_43903

Figured it out. It was in Mythic Quest 📺

🥱 Evri will simply never admit that they’ve lost a parcel smh

🎮 Omg I am loving Fortnite Blitz so much. It’s just like the good ol’ days of Fortnite. Tonight was all about the shockwave hammer, the goo gun, and no ARs. Me n my kid spent a couple of hilarious hours bouncing around the map getting super sweaty.

🎮 Currently performing surgery on my PS5. She is clogged up!


2025-08-09 15:41

🎮 PS5 now clean as a whistle. I even removed the fan which was a bit scary, but it was so dusty I couldn’t leave it like that. And I installed a new SSD. Turns out it’s a bit slower than the one I was replacing. Hopefully will not be noticeable 🤷‍♀️

@gastonrampersad Hi 👋 . I’ve used Photo Supreme by ID Imager in the past. I still have it installed but switched back to Lightroom. It can manage everything you could possibly need and you can really get into the weeds with it with EXIF and metadata editing too. It’s very good. Good luck


2025-08-10 08:26

@jedda omg I’m the other way rn. I gave my GRII to my son and I really miss it. Especially now the GRIV is showing up in YouTube videos. I’m still learning my X100VI. I wish my brain would understand it better.

Arting about. Not farting about. 💭🖍️

Album art for Screamadelica by Primal Scream

My soundtrack to a new life in a new city: making new friends, and getting blasted every night. 90s. It’s trippy perfection.

@jedda Thanks I will have a look at your post later. And thanks for the Musebox rec. Happy Monday


2025-08-12 09:36

🆒 So far today: crappy sleep, early start, meditation in the park by the pond 😮‍💨, breakfast in the village, deep, loud cuts from NIN 🎵: This isn't meant to last, this is for right now 🎵, home, more coffee, getting shit done, waiting for deliveries..


2025-08-12 23:41

Today was super intense! So tired.

🦷 Just had an urgent tooth extraction. The anaesthetic is now wearing off and the pain is kicking my ass.


2025-08-14 09:45

I’m struggling post extraction. Pain was very intense last night for a long time, with my strongest painkillers not doing much at all. This morning is a bit better tho. But I’m exhausted and I feel kinda traumatised from being in survival mode. Times like this I wish I had support


2025-08-15 14:35

🎶 I'm writing a diss track. It's not going way back. My tooth it cracked. So I cancelled that, it's ain't ever coming back. Antibiotics and codeine, my head is out of whack. Heading home for a loooong nap.


2025-08-15 14:58

🖼️ My parents are holding an open studio this weekend. I just had a preview. It looks really good. I can't believe how prolific my dad is.


2025-08-16 14:14

Thanks for the kind words on my recent posts. Still in quite a bit of pain but doing better. On strong pain meds and antibiotics now. Focusing on self care over everything else. It’s exhausting trying to be social and acknowledging replies. But thank you x

Having a pretty miserable time tbh. Pain is still very intense, exhausting and debilitating.

Dentist has agreed to see me again in urgent context. To check everything is ok. Unfortunately they will not help with pain.


2025-08-19 22:34

🎥 Just saw Princess Mononoke on IMAX with the fam. It looked really amazing on the big screen. It was really nice for the four of us hang out on one of our little adventures again.


2025-08-21 12:54

I’ve been having urgent post-tooth extraction appointments. Daily wound dressing at the dentist isn’t much fun. But it does seem to be helping. The pain is waaaay better than a couple days ago, but still pretty intense. I’m reducing my painkillers and beginning to feel a bit more human again. 😮‍💨


2025-08-22 21:28

🎥 Don't Look Up was a way better film than I was expecting. I found it quite moving too. Good film.


2025-08-25 17:00

It’s okay to move on, I tell myself. But still, it’s hard to let go, or say goodbye. I think it’s time to be brave. And move on. 💭🖍️


2025-08-25 18:12

@jsonbecker me too that would be a good idea. I do regular exports to an archive so if I really need one later I can find it. especially helpful when people change their phone numbers etc

My Mum is in hospital. It’s all happened pretty quickly and hoping to see her soon. We aren’t even sure what’s wrong at this point. But she’s very poorly.


2025-08-26 10:30

Thank you for the kind wishes for my Mum. She’s still in hospital and the doctors are still investigating. We don’t really know what’s happening at this point. I miss her like crazy and really want to visit her some time soon as I haven’t seen her yet.


2025-08-26 14:39

🦷 update: mouth is healing really well. I just saw that the extraction was 12 days ago. It was a really rough ride. But it seems to be closing up well and I am almost done with painkillers too. What a relief!


2025-08-26 19:37

I’m pretty happy with the new filters thingy in @echofeed , definitely makes crossposting a lot easier. First up, I’ve set a filter to stop posts containing a ‘…’ crossposting from my Mastodon to my Bluesky. Nice


2025-08-26 21:56

🎮 I just got the platinum for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Good game, lots of fun and easy to play.

My first photo walk in a few weeks felt really good.

It was nice to be inspired and creatively energised again today.

The first signs of approaching autumn are barely visible. But the vibrancy and growth of summer is waning. And I am all for it.

🥄 So glad I made it out to my support centre today. I couldn't really handle it tho. Lucky for me I took a bag of art gear and shut myself away in the art room. Did a weird drawing I quite like.

Just had a confrontation with my neighbour… now I’m spinning out. Not fun. I can’t handle confrontation. At all. But I really had to be brave and say a line had been crossed. Yuck yuck yuck. 🤮

@wq Thank you John. Currently experiencing crushing doubt 😩
