This week I marvelled at things on the fediverse and delighted in memories.

The Yetee has another Xenoblade Chronicles 2 shirt up today. This time it’s Mythra.

Episodes of House to Astonish are released infrequently, and it was a joy to hear Al and Paul talk about comics in the episode released today. Discussion of the X-books reboot was a highlight.

I’ve been enjoying lots of maple syrup and maple butter this past week after we received our annual order. I didn’t make it out to my family’s maple woods this year, but could feel like I was there when looking at some photos from years ago when I visited with some of my rad roommates.

I was delighted to see a new EP from Menomena release this morning. I was super into the band and am hopeful for new material before long.

I was kept busy again this past week, but found time to share about a mural and a seagull, and boost some gems.

On the weekend I was able to visit one of the new flower thief murals by Anya Kazimierski. The series is a highlight of the Quinpool murals from Halifax Mural Festival.

Menomena have now re-released three albums this year with extra tracks. They’re all fantastic experiences. Moms in particular is an engrossing, weird one.

I’ve been playing through the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening ahead of the next game in the series arriving next month. The original Game Boy game was a formative gaming experience for me when I was a kid, and it’s a joy to see that world with refreshed visuals.

We’ve had a family of seagulls nesting on the roof of the building where I work. Today this young one was hanging around the car charger while their parent encouraged them to take flight.
