Condo towers catching golden-hour light across Grenadier Pond, framed between a willow and a bare dead tree, reflections rippling on the water. — undefined - 10 Jun, 2026 at 8:33 PM

Loose pen sketch of three gnarled trees in blue ink with green scribbled foliage and red grass accents, drawn on paper balanced on a yellow book in the sun. — undefined - 10 Jun, 2026 at 7:02 PM

Sun dipping behind the treeline across Grenadier Pond, orange sky reflected in still water, reeds and driftwood silhouetted along the shore. — undefined - 10 Jun, 2026 at 8:36 PM

Neocities Deploy from GitHub Actions

A CI workflow to lint and build, a CD workflow to deploy to Neocities, and a brief defense of why I build the site twice.

Cloudless blue sky over a leafy residential Toronto street, sky filling most of the frame. Green trees line both sides; a gabled wood-and-shingle house with a second-floor balcony anchors the right, a pale apartment block sits behind trees on the left. Utility lines cross the middle. At the curb, a red STOP sign below a yellow ENDS sign. A faint daytime moon hangs at upper left. — Blue Sky

My current jam is Bckyrd by Hot Mulligan.

A raccoon crosses a floodlit lawn at the foot of a large tree at night, the lit windows of Queen's Park behind it. A '10' is painted on the road in the foreground. — Raccoon

Love this poem I found:

They/Them
(dedicated to Nex Benedict)

If God created night & day
& dawn, of course
& dusk
& the tangerine rosepink sunset
& the deep amethyst twilight
& the infact bright of morning

the to perceive the world in binary is to forgo knowledge of the divine.

A printed poem on cream-coloured paper, photographed close up. The title reads "THEY/THEM" in small caps, with an italic dedication to Nex Benedict beneath it. The poem is set in a serif typeface, its lines built from ampersands as it moves through times of day — dawn, dusk, sunset, twilight, morning — before closing on a two-line stanza about binary perception and the divine.

Watched The Devil Wears Prada and it has not really aged well.

I am going to attending Python Toronto June Meetup.

Two painted canvases leaning against a graffiti-covered brick wall in a dim alley at night. The larger central canvas is a black ink-and-charcoal drawing on a cream ground: elongated, sketchy human profiles and faces, with one figure in a coat holding a cigarette near a tiny orange figure perched on the hand. Below the image it's titled "BIDDING WAR," dated "2 JUNE 2026," and signed "GRAF ALLEY" with a heart and an artist's signature. A smaller canvas to the left, in the same scratchy style, shows two faces and reads "SOLVE & RASOLUTE." Behind them the wall is covered in red, teal, and grey graffiti, including a snarling wolf and the word "RASCAL" in red. On the concrete in the foreground, handwriting reads "LIFE & DEATH ARE THINGS YOU JUST DO WHEN YOU'RE BORED," and beside a small sketch, "YOU CAN'T TAKE THIS ONE" with an arrow. — undefined - 2 Jun, 2026 at 11:46 PM

Just finished watching Mile End Kicks, made me very nostalgic for the early 2010s.

A hand-lettered cardboard sign staked into a grassy curb strip. The top reads "DOG LIBRARY" in colored block capitals; beneath it, smaller handwritten text says "TAKE A STICK / LEAVE A STICK (OPTIONAL)." A few sticks lie scattered in the grass below the sign. A sidewalk runs along the left, and a young staked tree sits in a mulch bed to the right. — undefined - 2 Jun, 2026 at 4:31 PM

Mechanical Pencil is a collection of illustrated tear-downs of everyday products by Bryan Macomber. The Zippo tear-down is particularly impressive.

A plastic-wrapped flyer taped to a pole, headed "Good Friends Market," reading "GARAGE SALE — May 30th, 6 Florence St, 9AM–4:20PM. Lots of high quality GOODS for sale.. that's gangster talk for vintage clothes, knick knacks, video games, collectibles etc!" A quiet street with a bike lane sits behind it. — Garage Sale - May 30th - Lots of high quality GOODS for sale... that's gangster talk for vintage clothes, knick knacks, video games, collectibles etc!

A yellow sticker wrapped around a city utility pole reading "BRAIN ON PLANT — Rework Gallery, 1450 Dundas Street West — arthouse of reworked clothes, design & culture — Made in Toronto — slow fashion, fast life — @brainonplants — brainonplants.com." A sunny Toronto street is blurred behind it. — Brain on Plant - 1 Jun, 2026 at 5:42 PM

A large lilac bush in full bloom, covered in pale purple flower clusters, growing in front of a tall maple on a sunny day. — undefined - 1 Jun, 2026 at 9:40 AM

A weathered wooden deck running alongside a red-brick farmhouse with white gingerbread trim on the porch, looking out to a lilac bush in bloom and green trees. — undefined - 30 May, 2026 at 12:33 PM

A tall black planter of trailing greenery and red flowers on a weathered deck, overlooking a green lawn, a ploughed field and a treeline under a clear blue sky. — undefined - 1 Jun, 2026 at 9:01 AM

A covered patio under a louvred pergola, furniture wrapped in mauve covers, with a curly-haired apricot dog resting on a sofa and a sunlit lawn and trees beyond. — undefined - 31 May, 2026 at 5:39 PM
