Holy Hannah. And it's still May.

Someone reminded me that way back when we were young and foolish, we would go skinny dipping en masse. Does anyone still skinny dip? Or has the phone camera ruined that too?

I love finding 7 digit phone numbers on old stuff. From my sewing kit.

OH: "King James' pre-quel to the Bible." Any guesses?

Can confirm. If you let the bowl dry, even the dishwasher is not getting that off without a pre-soak.

i know TikTok is full of bean prep/recipes, but are they doing oatmeal at all? i keep forgetting to check. Oatmeal can be gluten free, but it’s more expensive. A 42oz container of not guaranteed To be gluton free is just a bit over $4. That is about 30 servings at the recommended serving size…

I have a laundry list of issues with this with one of them being "keeping streets safe" language. It's never referring to dangerous drivers or street harassment. It's a term that's meant to emphasize vague "urban crime" when most violence happens in private homes and spaces.

🤣We make the rest of the world crazy: I measure a recipe out in grams, set the over for 350°F, then go outside where it's 18°C I measure speed in KPH but distance in time Buy a pound of butter (checking it's still 454g) & 20kg of flour I can buy 2m of fabric but have no idea how tall 1.85 is 🤔

Purple rain. 1964. open.spotify.com/track/4IU1RL...

Spending time in France and Switzerland, it’s clear that the “missing middle” in North America isn’t townhouses and duplexes. It’s mid-rises. Especially mid-rise neighbourhoods. Our denser urban fabric (Montreal, Chicago, etc.) is still mostly 2-3 storeys, not 4-8 like is so common here.

As one does.. on an average Friday afternoon.

Death by a thousand studies.

Sometimes life seems so short then you see this and one active lifetime can span from 1964 to 2026. A wild span of time.

Took me an inordinate amount of time to get this one.

LOL. Give it an indigenous name, but ask King Charles to inaugurate it.

They’re coming!!!! The lilacs are coming!!! #floweroftheday

The core principle is that Indigenous peoples should have real access to, stewardship of, and authority over land that has been central to their cultures, ceremonies, languages, and ways of life for centuries, and in many cases much longer than that. Let's take a look at one example.

Yesterday was another great day talking to food delivery riders about their rights & responsibilities on the roads! With @cycletoronto.bsky.social & Toronto Bike Brigade we're focusing on education over enforcement. Our last workshop (for now) is today, May 21 at 427 Bloor W, 230pm registration.

I used to say (before kids) that I only had a social life every June when people had BBQs and end of year parties. For the first time in 30 years I now have a social like in MAY! It's a start. I just need to make sure I make friends faster than they die off (This is no joke)

The problem with Toronto, is I need several lifetimes to experience all the cool stuff.

Oh, dear.

Toronto is the place where world cuisines mingle and have offspring beyond imagination.

Imagine going everywhere by car and never getting to stop and smell the lilacs. No, don't. It's too horrible to think about.

This is a cat checkpoint: show the most recent cat photo on your phone.

There is absolutely justified yelling. Don't have sound up.

LOL

there’s a sublime peace in figuring out how to make it around a new country on the fly, taking in new sights and geographies, and doing so in solitude, with no real cares as to how long it takes anyhow i wandered around scotland fir a day before making it back to london

My sister is so suburban, she doesn't know the difference between a semi-detached and a duplex.

The light tonight is good.

2ge+her became real though.

Yikes. I just spent $1800 of my annual $2200 car maintenance budget today..and it's only May. Good news is, I finally got the snow tires off.

My current use of AI is to correct SQL that others have created with AI. I.e. i'm not the one using AI. And as long as it is not as smart as me, i'm not gonna.

@jimbostanford.bsky.social did the same calculation for the oil sands. The job losses would be negligible against the normal seasonal ups and downs of jobs in Canada. I can't help feeling that as renewable take hold, this is a "problem" that will take care of itself.

Fun times. I remember. 😉

Recently a friend asked me if, like him, I have a constant earworm in my head at all times. I'd never thought must about it, but NOW I DO.

A different view of an American icon. Kind of a "fools rush in" guy, the way he's portrayed here.

When an obituary barely scratches the surface of how wonderful a person they were. I shall miss you forever Bridget. You showed us all the way to be. ecofuneral.ca/tribute/deta... May light perpetual shine upon you.

Love this math.

If everyone in this streetcar were driving, the line of cars would stretch well over a kilometer long. (One kilometer is the distance between College and Bloor streets.) Streetcars and buses deserve their own lanes. #topoli

Has "IKEA" become a generic word like "Kleenex" or "Tupperware"? Neighbours posted they wanted someone experienced with IKEA to help them assemble a pantry. When I offered to help if the would just send me the URL for instructions for said pantry, they said it was "custom" with no instructions. ??

OH: I had food poisoning for 3 weeks. Me ( inside voice): How does that work?

I haven't even BEGUN to share my Italy pictures, y'all.

Checking my budget to see if I can afford a Rhoomba. I over spent on skin care and parking the last 3 months, but under spent on gasoline and hair cuts. That's even with gas being 60% higher this year. www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/irobo...

It's Victoria Day. Which means the bus to the beach is gonna be full of sand.

I've been carefully curating hangers for most of my adult life. Two from my collection.
