In celebration of the 7 year anniversary of Basically I'm Gay, I typeset the transcript and bound myself a little BIG book <3

This has been an undertaking and a half (.....most of the time was probably sewing on the sequins) but I am so happy with how it turned out! It's my second real bookbinding creation (so there are some technical things that could have gone better BUT) I'm beyond thrilled with it and so happy to have something physical to celebrate this video that's meant so much to me over the years. Happy pride everyone :]

If you want to look at the pdf, I have it here, where you can also bind your own copy!

[also I'm seeking a photocard with the basically I'm gay jacket to put in a sleeve on the inside of this book.. if anyone is willing to trade, i am offering a bound copy (plain no embroidery) of basically I'm gay in exchange!] I have a trade sorted out tysm

but ykw at least i'm not on mount everest. at least i'm not paying tens of thousands of dollars to slowly suffocate in a 300-person line at the gates of hell. never in my life will i have to be steered in a hypoxic stupor through the maze of poop and corpses atop mount everest. on this earth a lot of horrible things can happen to you without your permission but there are a few that you have to opt into. you can just say no thanks! and be guaranteed never to have to be on mount everest. much to be grateful for actually

[sashayed]

still not on mount everest this morning 😌 alhamdulillah

I tried to make an "I fought in the alberta rat wars on the side of the rats" shirt but i fucking burned the shirt. I don't even know HOW. The gods have a vendetta against alberta, and rightfully so

Did you take that photo on a 2009 flip phone?

sometimes depression is so scary because you stop being able to achieve any sense of fulfilment. a huge part of being human is looking forward to things and having treats, goals, rewards, outcomes that you strive towards. if you don’t have those things it can be really, really hard to find any sense of purpose. having depression is asking yourself what do i want to eat, what do i want to watch, what do i want to play, what do i want to listen to, what do i want to do, what am i looking forward to, what’s driving me to keep going, and having the answer be a resounding ‘nothing’

I had to share a video of this because the sheen of this foiled linen is so delicious! I’m working on finishing the closures and sewing the skirt panels for reals, then on to some ribbon embroidery!

I actually finished a cross stitch. A phross stitch, if you will.
