just went and bought $300 of more stuff from the secondhand craft store (free for me, part of my grant budget 😈) then spent hours organizing all of the stuff for my collage workshops and my personal project tonight. this is 1/4 of it since I was too tired to get any more pics tonight

they'll never know that my collage solar system is secretly red vs blue fanart

really enjoying the uncle-to-a-2yrold phase of being an uncle right now. in the span of an hour we played instruments terribly, i cartoon-snore pretended to sleep in his pile of stuffed animals, played cat noises on a soundboard, got told 'surprise!' before being handed another farm animal about 6 times, he fell and hit his head on part of a chair but i rubbed his head and told him to dance it off and he tried sooo hard and danced it off and started laughing so we went and told his mom how AWESOME he danced it off, i whispered at him to go tell people they were stinky and he did so, we spelled words out of scrabble letters on the floor and i taught him how funny it was to make up new words like 'TEEBIE' and 'HOOL', pretended my hand was a talking creature who couldn't see trying to find him, had various magic spells cast at me with a colored pencil, had a giant stuffed charmander thrown at me while being told 'CHARMANDER!!!', and when he tried to jump on me we reminded him that i was still healing so i couldnt pick him up yet and his understanding is that uncle jack's boobs were broken so they fixed them but they still need to heal and they're getting better and we showed him how different the scars looked compared to a month ago and he's so genuinely curious and caring i love that i get to be an uncle who not only is privileged to be part of a person's formative experiences as a casual trans person but also GETS TO BE THE GUY WHO TEACHES HIM TO PUT 'WHAT THE FART?!' IN HIS VOCABULARY!!!!! 😈😈😈😈😈😈
