I moved to Toronto 20 years ago as a little jazz musician and dreamed of playing at the Rex... then I learned I didn't want to be a jazz musician actually, so I never ended up playing there. but I just booked a gig at the Rex in July!!! details soon, but omg Grade 12 me is hype

spent the afternoon reading books with a baby in a park instead of watching the baseball game, which I see was the correct choice

found a sticker

I am 37 years old, and I just feel like that's way too young to have multiple friends die in this calendar year. Just a note to whoever's in charge of this bullshit to cool it please

whenever Yankee Stadium gets too hype about a routine fly ball, I think of being in the nosebleeds with @allsenseaside.bsky.social, who was yelling at people the whole time to chill out and learn to recognize a home run. King shit. Gonna miss you, dude.

I have been using last.fm since it was Audioscrobbler and I remember when they were acquired. This is wild!!! Fantastic news support.last.fm/t/last-fm-is...

the labour discourse around the new CBA is gonna kill me and it's only just started. if the players make less money YOU don't get that money! carrying water for owners is cop shit. thanks

supposedly will be 19 degrees at first pitch today... what do we think the odds of an open dome will be... I must manifest (asking for a me)

a slice of yesterday's ridiculous sunset (that's the moon up there)

Does anyone have a video or gif of that time Jim Leyland pantomimed "get me the big tall guy" when he signaled for Brad Eldred from the bullpen... All the blog links I could find are dead 🫠

look at how cute this little box of @luckylacquer.com stuff is!!! haven't painted my nails in forever but it's time 💅

Encountered a guy in my neighbourhood wearing a Calgary Flames Jonas Hiller shirsey. Incredible guy-remembering happening over here

I bought this silly little timer cube awhile ago and I'm annoyed at how much I like it. Having the number staring me in the face all the time is actually so helpful... I don't need to look at my phone or find the timer app on my computer desktop? It works. newthingslab.com/products/zon...

Me 364 days a year: abolish the monarchy Me today: the American overlords not allowing the Jays a day game on the Queen's birthday is a declaration of war against the Commonwealth

instead of paying $80 CAD a year to my favourite writers to get more writing what if I could pay $30 CAD a year to get less writing. I wanna support your writing but I cannot read more things. please send me fewer things.

Maladaptive Overachievement is the mind-killer I will face my Maladaptive Overachievement I will permit it to pass over me and through me

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

my squats are terrible due to problems from sitting all the time, so I've been doing squats less often, which of course makes sitting-all-the-time problems worse. having a body is so embarrassing. ooh you sit at desk too much and now your widdle hips don't move????

Every week living in Ontario is like - BREAKING: Doug Ford's government introduces bill that will let landlords evict you with no notice if you sneeze too loud - 10 protests about bill - Daily social media posts raising awareness - News interviews scared allergy sufferers - BREAKING: Bill passes

Il varland!

Waxahatchee + MJ Lenderman tour: good as hell

I love this EXCEPTIONALLY much

sorry

I've been thinking about this every day. It's very rare that I actually follow through on a goal that takes this long (and it took years longer than it "should have," because I didn't focus, but you know what? it happened eventually). Very satisfying, would goal again

a long time ago but not as long ago as it should have been, I realized that I had been occasionally mixing up Carl Jung with Carl Sagan, and a lot of things I was extremely confused about suddenly made a lot more sense. still think about that sometimes
