Out here with my summer buddies (that don’t do their jobs very well)

I don’t know if my muscles have ever been this sore!! I did my first sword and buckler class last night as well, which definitely added some fun new aches
Did my trial kickboxing session this morning after a 4.5 year break… I hated it, but I need it, so I joined the gym and I’m trying to push down my panic over spending on this when I have so much else going on πŸ₯² But the investment in my health is worth it so suck it up sunshine (she says to herself)

Starbucks is now a proud RNC sponsor, in case you still go there

This huge pickup had me worried for a sec

It’s World Orca Day, and I finally finished going through my trip photos! This was a surreal day watching a group of 8 Bigg’s killer whales from a few different matrilines hunt a harbour seal. They had it trapped against the side of a cove and took turns keeping it down until they grabbed it.

I love going to see my friends do cool things. I can’t believe I get to swordfight with this guy!!

Do you not understand how hard his life is?

Borrowed club equipment but!!!! I did three matches tonight after only doing one s&b beginner class two years ago and it was super fun and now I guess I have to keep doing it!!!
What if I took up sword and buckler

I was just about to fence one of the newer guys for the second time when he said β€œby the way, it was because of your tiktoks that I found out about this place” and I was like OMG Knowing I’ve gotten almost a dozen people into this sport by sharing my journey is reason enough to keep going

I signed up!!
I keep catching glimpses of my boxing gloves peeking out from under the bed and getting tempted to start kickboxing again. I was doing it twice a week right before Covid hit and haven’t done it at all since then. I have a pretty busy schedule with fencing already but πŸ‘€

You know what… yeah. Yeah ok I’ll claim this energy today

β€œI smell like beef” vine but replace β€œbeef” with β€œdeet” and it’s every time I have the audacity to step outside between April and November and not want to get entirely consumed by a biblical amount of needle-faced bastards

People generally seem opposed to garbage AI-generated art and filters until it’s a cute lil TikTok trend I guess. Stop spreading that shit!

I’m glad it turns out I don’t have to spend any money on the Overwatch x Transformers collab but come on, three Autobot skins and ONE Decepticon? Huge missed opportunity for a Pharah/Starscream (or any Seeker tbh)

This turned out to be an ill omen because when I got home last night a bird flew out of the door wreath and hit me in the face

Bro if France resists the tide of fascism and we don’t it will be so fucking embarrassing
JUST IN: Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise: β€”Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!) β€”Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well. β€”No bloc close to majority. Follow this 🧡 for results and more:
