#tdc4930 #ds106 Embrace Your Geekness Day
Geekiness comes very naturally to me, with basically unlimited access to the internet and various creative outlets I have always been very nerdy. I love how much stuff there is in the creative space and the communities that are associated with it.
One thing I love is video games. There creativity that does into video games is endless. With handwork and dedication some of the best medias are video games with their direction and interaction. On my switch one of the fun (and free!) games is a Capcom Arcade emulator that has all the old games that anyone is free to play. The music and animation is one of my favourites as it is a bit of a homage to older arcade games in a neat aesthetic.
#tdc2400 #ds106 These Feet Were Made For Walking
Believe it or not I rarely take videos and my lovely friends came to visit from the lower mainland as such we went on a hike at the East Sooke Regional Park. It was amazing and easy as it was just a loop trail. But being the children we are we had to climb rocks and skip rocks at the beach. The views where stunning we got to walk and catch up for a while which we don’t often get as adults.
#tdc3497 #ds106 Freedom and its limits
Freedom is a living beings right. Humans unfortunately have made it far too difficult for freedom to be accessible to all. It feels like it is constantly a fight to be on the right side and more in a fashion that supports both liberation and mutual benefit.
As in ths gif I took at Miniature World, with the way the world is advertised to be a class vs class issue often we forget that its 90% of the world against 10% of stupidly rich people and as we try to fight for freedom we are limited in our own courage to break from the cycle and fight this group of overly powerful people. We have done it before we can do it again.

#tdc5267 #ds106 #dailycreate Create a Blob and Give It a Name
This daily create asks us to use the website https://www.blobmaker.app/ to ” Create a Blob and Give It a Name”.
When do this I ran into Birdenda, she had just finished pruning and got a new hat to show off. An icon truly, beautiful bird brain.
#tdc5272 #ds106 #dailycreate Heart-breakingly beautiful
In this daily create, they ask that we “Photograph something commonly considered ugly and make it heart-breakingly beautiful.” And while I don’t think bugs are inherently ugly they definitely not the most flattering creatures to exist. But isn’t is so beautiful that each bug has their own patterns and color pattern, like they care about how they look and must be beautiful in their own way.
#tdc5274 #ds106 #dailycreate Draw a black cat
Pretty self explanatory, we are taught how to draw a cat from a silly tutorial. It was very fun to try and draw black cats in all types of positions.

#tdc5065 #ds106 Going All Nostalgic On Us
For this daily create we are told “There’s not much more powerful magic of nostalgia than the music of youth. Use The Nostalgia Machine to choose a year from your childhood and then find a song that resonates with you. Share out either a screenshot of your chosen year or a link to the video that caught you attention and drew you back into the past.”
For the faithful year of 2015 we see a fantastic list of year. 2015 was truly a gem with so many amazing pieces of music that became the standards of pop and became ingrained into our digital culture.
I choose Can’t feel my face by The Weeknd, this song especially brings back memories of the transition from elementary to high school and how truly surreal ‘prom’ felt at that age. Just a much of preteen singing a song they had no business singing to the highest volume surrounded by teacher who were forced to be chaperones. This so song is still amazing many years later and it truly feels like we are in the audience watching this guy preform and being engulfed by his love.
#tdc4776 #ds106 your latest musical discovery
For this daily create we are asked to “Tell us the latest thing in music you learned. Might have been some time ago, but could be rather recent thing.”
I love all types of media, music for me is a crucial part of my routine. I feel like music makes us human and one band I have recently ‘discovered’ is CORTIS. They are a youth K pop band and unlike the general populaces of K POP; ultra manufactured and trend following this band takes part in producing, choreographing, and write their music. They are so unbelievably young from ages 17-21 it is so refreshing to see teens expressing their love of music in such a way. And as we understand from Mayer’s modality principle this music video greatly supports the music is showing the melancholy vibe and fleeting time of youth.
#tdc3606 #ds106 The Color of A Song
This daily create says “Do songs have a colour? Now they do. Share any song and what colour that song is.”
This album when it came out was such an amazing experience, the album overall follows a monochromatic theme so the colour scheme the artist wants is a big of a mystery, but to me this song is a deep green that fades in, the confidence and military march theme of this song greatly reminds of the green vests of soldiers.
And wouldn’t you know? I am correct. When I went to the concert for Tyler the Creator, this moment was truly and amazing experience and was visually so enjoyable.

#tdc5194 #ds106 #dailycreate Text Weave
In this daily create, we use this link https://thehtml.review/03/weaving-web/ to ‘weave’ words into a pattern, I choose to use a quote that I like: Everything happens at all the time, and also not at all. Time passes anyway. It was very interesting to see what it turned out be:
Honestly it looks like a bunch of whole half filled wine glasses and broken pieces all over.
#tdc5132 #ds106 Last Letter
This Daily Creates asks: “The postal service is closing down. What will you send as your final letter?” My last letter would be to my little sister.
My sister and I are many years apart, when she was born I was about to turn 17 years old. She may grow up to be my best friend but we have a lot of years to make up the time and even if she gets older we grow apart or I get too old she will always have something to look back on and have proof that I love her with my whole life.
#tdc5218 #ds106 #dailycreate Write an Alphabet story.
In this Daily Creates we are asked: “In an alphabet story, each line begins with the letters of the alphabet in order. How much of the alphabet can you cover?”
All that exists in a
Barren land, were rocks and tumbleweed whisking away in the wind.
Can no one seem to get the land to prosper.
Deciding, enough is enough.
Everyone decided in that moment,
For there to be vegetation again, they would have to care for the land together.
Gathering seeds and hope, they set out before sunrise.
Hands doing all the work of digging and pushing,
In every row of soil they tilled, routine became to add a seed and hope for a fortune.
Just when the wind tried to scatter their work, they had to keep going on and on.
Keeping faith, they watered the soil day after day.
Little by little, tiny green sprouts began to push through the dust.
Maybe as there was nothing to loose,
No one really complained about all the work they had left to do.
Over time, the cracked ground softened beneath their feet,
Probably with impatience, people hurried to see rows and rows of plants blossoming.
“Quite the turnout it seems” said one townsman,
“Really, this is a miracle! Let us harvest”
Soon, wildflowers painted the valley in colors no one remembered,
Trees took root, and vegetables started to grow in bundles, with abundance.
Under their branches, children played where tumbleweeds once rolled.
Very soon, the barren land became a place of life, and lots and lots of abundance.
“Well, teamwork really makes the dream work huh”
“Xanadu truly”
Years later, the people would tell the story of how hope grew from dry soil.
Zero parts of the land were forgotten, loved and made prosperous.
