My piece for the Surpriseroundrpg/Stabbyness zine, Today's Special! (+Plus the characters I did for Cookouttrashbin's recipe)

Check out the full zine!

I also did the Lift and Forgotten Indigo Divider art, see it in the zine.

Everyone did so good again this year!

Nerene Virgin, 1946-2024: Many Torontonians and their kids are familiar with the popular show Today's Special which ran from 1981-1987. Among many other things, Nerene also hosted Eye on Toronto for CFTO. Unfortunately, she passed away in Burlington on January 15, 2024. Here she is pictured with co star of Today's Special, Jeff Hyslop who is now 72 years of age.

The subject of first crushes was brought up recently, and this is something I've thought about before.

Some people will tell you they knew they were gay from a very young age. If not knowing the exact word, they'll say, "Well, I knew I always liked other boys." or "I was just drawn to other girls."

I had no idea. In retrospect, the signs were there, but I was blissfully unaware. Imagine my surprise when I hit puberty.

When I was little, one of my favorite shows was Today's Special on PBS. I liked it so much, I remember recording the audio on cassette tapes and listening to them later.

And most of all I seemed to really like Jeff the mannequin, played by Jeff Hyslop. And I wouldn't say it was an obsession or hyper fixation, but I always seemed more focused on Jeff. I just thought he was cool.

It was only many years later that I looked back on this and realized, oh... I had a full on little gay boy crush on him. 😆

my favourite genre of post-race Charles Leclerc win is Charles finding Arthur at the barrier, seeing Arthur looking at him with such joy in his eyes and then Charles messing up his hair

no DNIs we just post content specifically catered to ourselves that will coincidentally alienate anyone with whom we would not want to interact

[idiosyncraticrednebula]

Hot take: I actually think men and women are meant to work together and complement each other and not like,,, dislike each other and be divisive.
