How do I pressure Canada Post to give the union a fair offer because I want my damn MAIL.

realtor said I was 'picky' with regards to buying a house. yes?? of course I am??? I'm spending over half a million dollars on something I'll be spending like half my time inside of?????? (he said it from a place of concern rather than accusatory just fyi lol)

comm i did earlier this year for @samwisefosterholm.bsky.social 🌿 #dnd

accidentally saving money and the environment by forgetting to buy more disposable coffee cups at work so everyone has to use the company's mugs lmao

man the 'ask abby' advice columns out there today are... Really bad. half the time they don't even really answer the question, they just talk vaguely about what they know about the subject and leave it at that, and the other half the time they misinterpret what's being asked and don't help at all.

it was very funny that a few rows of the musicians could watch the movie when they weren't playing bc they sat on the front side of the screen. Everyone else sat and stared into the middle distance. Also how many times did the conductor have to watch this movie lmao

just found out my favourite thrifted pants I had to throw away because of an unfortunate stain was actually from a decently expensive brand and I can NOT easily replace them 😞 I think I got the pants for like $15 and the brand averages $200 for a similar pair of chinos 😭

Krobus wants to keep our becoming roommates a secret? noooo!!!! That's so sad 😭😭

man there's a couple jumping spiders living in one of my windows and I wanna catch one so bad and keep it as a pet 🥺

extremely upset that it seems my dog has become un-crate trained

big plans this week, tonight we're painting ceramics for a friend's birthday, tomorrow is my fiancee and I's anniversary dinner, and friday we get to see Fellowship of the Ring extended edition in theatres 🤩 I'm gonna be so tired lmao

the animals waking me up before 6am is absolutely unsustainable

Gonna see Fellowship of the Ring in theaters yeah boyyyy!

hey hey woah hold on why am I looking at a hardcover novel that is FIFTY FOUR CANADIAN DOLLARS?? FIFTY FOUR DOLLARS????? HELLO???

a house we looked at last weekend sold for 60k above asking I'm gonna be sick

why are all these youtubers and streamers announcing their personal streaming service ALL AT THE SAME TIME?

Our realtor was impressed with how not-picky we are and we informed him we are in fact incredibly picky we're just really good at vetoing houses before asking him to show them to us (we have seen 3 houses in one entire year) By the time we get to him we're looking for reasons not to buy.

man my not-boss is so cool, he regularly allows me to shop around for more ethical and environmentally friendly products even if they're more expensive, and unquestionably listened to me when I wanted to buy something in bulk instead of individually packaged to reduce waste.

This is Oberyn he is very sweet and odd and I get to visit him over the next couple days while his guardian is out of town 💛🐈

Shocked and pleased to see that of all the drinks people brought, only TWO were leftover in our fridge (and one is something I'll actually touch lmao).

My fiancee researched alternate sellers of my favourite brand of cake for my birthday because the only retailer we knew about we're boycotting right now 😭💛

wild seeing people claim housing in my city is affordable if you 'scrape together' a 5% down payment. Being house poor SHOULD NOT be considered being 'affordable.'

birthday soon :)

Playing some Cypher for the first time tonight! Character goal? Pay rent. #ttrpg

frantically trying to remember all the beloved NPC voices from a region the players haven't been since December.

I find it interesting how well known the 'orange cats are more likely to be male' fact is, when the same genetic logic exists for black cats but I've never heard anyone say the same about them.

resisting the urge to buy another consignment horse painting

I just need to inform the void that I don't like colour drenching

I am once again asking my colleagues to track what they do in our database instead of messing up inventory and making more work for everyone

hey loblaws maybe if you want less theft from your stores you should stop price gouging hmmm?????

I deeply desire to know the intimate details of the Family Drama™️ happening but in no reality do I want to be entrenched in it which is really the only way to truly know so I'll count my blessings and watch from the safety of over 1000km away.

I'm kinda anxious about the eclipse tomorrow mainly due to traffic concerns. I live under 100km from totality, so we're gonna drive there day of but traffic will likely be bonkers and my fiance needs to get to work on time after and what if we can't find space to stop and watch the event and aahhh

man I hate house hunting and seeing 'new carpets!!' advertised on a house I like because we super don't want carpets but the idea of pulling up new carpets makes me sick with the amount of needless waste it would make. (I actually like carpet but the upkeep with the fur in the house is Too Much)

Remembering how my ex was super insistent that pygmy hippopotamus weren't real, even when I told him I saw some in person at a zoo, then realizing he was probably mixing up pygmy hippos with the house hippo Canadian commercial from the late 90s warning people not to believe everything they see on TV

Reeeeaally fuckin hate when I struggle to get out from behind a slow driver (10 under in the PASS LANE) and when I do they suddenly smarten up and drive properly 🤦🏼‍♀️

idc if I get 10 hours straight of being alone and doing what I want, if I'm obligated to go somewhere at some point in the day it is Not Relaxing Enough

I've been trying not to hype up DS9 episodes because it skews my fiance's enjoyment of them, so for 'In the Pale Moonlight' I casually said "oh Sisko has a really good monologue in this one" and now it's one of his favourite episodes hell yeah

"but if we don't raise prices it'll cut into our profits" they whinge, failing to mention exactly how much money they make in the first place

I really want to support smaller charities with physical donations but because they have limited resources it's SO much harder to get the right time&place to do so. They're also vaaastly pickier about how items are sorted which seems a bit... Much.

Oh yay after filing like 5 claims without problem with my insurance they're suddenly having a fit over the fact I keep mentioning this claim is technically covered somewhere else. Do I send them the full denial statement that I'm fighting or the one that says private insurance has to pay out first?

I think I found an ATLA reference in Beasts of War? A 'harried-looking man selling cabbages' feels deliberate lol

Kira Deep Space Nine should be allowed to say 'fuck'

I love (/s) that the realty website has a distinction between townhouses and regular houses but people will still list the townhouses as regular houses anyway so the filter is less effective.

Man I fuckin hate amazon, I have to use it for work and pretty much every time after I make a purchase, it emails me a couple days later lying about having something in my cart to lure me back to the site. You make enough money stop being so shitty.

I don't care that we're all turning 30 this year, seeing that one of my fellow HS graduates had a second baby last year is sending me into just a tiny crisis (about the passage of time and the progression of life, not because I myself want a child lol)

how do I tell him that if he stops mucking around in the dirt he doesn't have to get his paws cleaned off

Got a little dressed up for my fiance's birthday tonight - we're just having a half dozen friends over but I wanted an excuse to wear my new thrifted star trek-esque dress 😤

aaahhhh, a nice cat account posted asking to see people's cat tattoos and when looking through them I saw a pawprint memorial tattoo and it reminded me that Figaro's pawprint got lost in the mail so that memory punched me in the gut all over again 😅😅

I think a couple of us putting holds on Beasts of War are still reading through the first 2 because I deferred my hold to the next in line and it showed up for me again the next day lol I see you

apparently canada is a leading exporter in draft horses specifically bred for their meat... TIL
