I love this liminal space-time of the year when it seems perfectly reasonable for lunch to be a Hickory Farms ham sausage+cheese+hot honey lime potato chips burrito, followed by a Lindor.

Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate. Ho! Ho! Ho!

When our younger son got married, our older son, the officiant, waited until we were all quiet, looked out over the crowd and began: "Mawwiage... is what bwings us togevah today" and we all just lost it

I've started using a ToDo list again, which never worked for me in the past but for some reason is working now. I've gone from feeling vague amorphous anxiety about the things I haven't done to feeling extremely focused anxiety about the things I haven't done. A refreshing change of pace 😐

Ah I see the BBC has decided on a policy of appeasement to fascism, like the one that worked out so well for Neville Chamberlain

I feel the need for some baking coming on, let's see if the starter survived another summer of hibernation

I feel sorry for you if you don't have a pink crab on your worktable holding your pencil for you

I fucking love memes you can understand through the language barrier, holy shit

December 6, 1989: An armed man killed 14 women and injured 13 other people at École Polytechnique. Fuelled by misogyny, he claimed he was "fighting feminism". We must never forget the horror of that day. I'm honoured to be joined by community leaders to name the victims. #CallItFemicide

OUTRAGEOUS save, how did she even 😮

I can’t promise that this is the first time a Canadian publisher of a beloved children’s book series has publicly condemned the bloodthirsty US secretary of defense’s use of its imagery to smirkingly defend heinous war crimes. I mean who can say.

Ok if you are not a Crocs fan, or if you are and don't want your Crocsvent spoilered, mute #jibbitzadvent now Day one: an owl! I love her already 😍

Nice! An easier-to-understand system of alerts: 🟡 oh shit 🟠 Oh Shit 🔴 OH SHIT

The Beaverton staff is screaming with delight #cdnpoli

Here's some apeeling pear discourse, anjou should read on to get to the core of it

Every morning PP wakes up in his taxpayer-funded mansion & while he eats his taxpayer-funded breakfast made by his taxpayer-funded chef he reads these numbers & I love that for him #cdnpoli

a lotta pumped-up coverage from the press on this vote - nobody in opposition had any desire at all to trigger an election (still relieved to have the gov't not fall, that would've been exasperating but almost worth seeing PP & the Cons punished for it)

Had a grilled sandwich for lunch & my tastebuds have not gotten over the dissonance of expecting cheese but getting peanut butter and banana I mean, it was good but... weird

trying to escape the rancidest of vibes on here for a few days

Crime: Man steals bus with passengers on board. Canadian Crime: He still makes the scheduled stops to let passengers on and off. Canadian Crime Bonus: He denies boarding to one passenger because his bus pass had expired. globalnews.ca/news/1152251...

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

This account is an Edmund Fitzgerald stan account for the next 24 hours, sorry (also this is absolutely worth a listen 💙 ⛴️)

10/10, no notes

Starting to believe that the invocation of the notwithstanding clause in any piece of legislation should automatically trigger an election #canpoli

Never before seen a Halloween in Canada end so precisely at 19:59 as when the #BlueJays are starting World Series Game 6 at 20:00 - streets empty, porch lights off

Between the rainy forecast & 8pm start for the Jays game, I have high hopes for the lil ghosts & goblins getting hustled off the streets early & me having lots of leftover Halloween loot 👻

Small town Sundae night.

Pour one out for my furry best friend: my constant companion, implacable hater of delivery folk, barker extraordinaire. You have gone, and my heart is left with a chihuahua-shaped hole.

Fat Bear Week Fat. Bear. Week. (pounds table) FAT. BEAR. WEEK. September 23-30 for the grown-up bears But you can warm up your voting finger, because Junior Final starts TODAY

A big old maple fell in a local park in Niagara a couple of weeks ago & already the ringless honey mushrooms (Desarmillaria tabescens)are flourishing #FungiFriday #FungiFriends

It's a blanket fort kind of day #chihuahua #DogsOfBluesky

Been trying to eat down the freezers so I took out 3 bananas & made 16 muffins... which is too many to eat at once, so half of them will have to go in the freezer 😐

OH MY GOD I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE

I've reached the point in life where my phone home screen is my FitBit, 2 weather apps, eBird, Merlin, and a sunset/sunrise widget.

my Law & Order fixation just turned itself off after bingeing only 103 episodes, I'm so relieved my brain released me without having to do the whole back catalogue

This year's first batch of hot sauce set up to ferment: jalapenos, Thai hots, Big Jims, and a handful of Coronation grapes

For a bit of a break from the DC news cycle, I'm headed to @animenyc.bsky.social later this week to do some reporting on the business of anime/ manga and the growth of the industry. What do folks want to know? #animenyc #animenyc2025
