I have discovered the true reason for the recent popularity of chore coats: they offer the perfect on-the-go holding pocket for your Stephen King mass market paperback. Mystery solved. @stephenking.bsky.social

For no reason at all, thinking about how wild and wonderful it is that I loved Kids in the Hall on reruns as a 10yo, and my friend who is a gay man in his 60s enjoyed KITH while it was airing, and it's super special to both of us and made us into unlikely close friends. @kithonline.bsky.social

sorry

Today! @peterbcounter.com and I ask whether anything we write is scarier than real life and if we should just pack it in. FUN AT THE LIBRARY!

tfw ur a Tilly sister

I started reading @stephenking.bsky.social for the first time this year and somehow convinced all my friends to read his books too? I have swayed five people / former haters to read early King—and they all fell in love! I didn't know I had such power. Anyway, hot take: that King guy is a good writer

Ummmm we already have two perfect actors named Tilly thank you very much

Some big news: I have a cold.

Hey Halifax! This Sunday @daviddemchuk.com and I will be speaking with @elliottgish.bsky.social at the Central Library. Join us for a frightful time!

it's great that instagram has added a feature where if people like or share the post you're looking at then you can no longer see the whole thing. helpful stuff

Haven't seen the new PTA because of Hooptober and my life being overall extremely busy. The discourse is already making me feel like there's hardly any point. I'm sure I'll like it—long term (tho critical) PTA fan here—but the internet is ruining my opportunity to see this with an open mind.

Do you know how excited I am for these events with @daviddemchuk.com and @peterbcounter.com? REAL DAMN EXCITED IS HOW EXCITED.

Spoiler for tomorrow's episode. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT is presented by @thewalrus.ca @peterbcounter.com @houseofanansi.bsky.social thewalrus.ca/podcasts/wha...

Anti-Zionist Jews gathered in the streets of Jerusalem to support a state of Palestine. Zionists cannot stand seeing the Palestine flag on the streets of Jerusalem. The capital of the State of Palestine is Jerusalem. Judaism is NOT Zionism 🇵🇸✡️ (Credit: Jewish Voice)

Erik/Garrett on jeopardy being taken down by a contestant named Vicki(e) is just way too good. Unfortunately no yellow shirt or hat.

I AM ALSO EXCITED. Join us, Halifax!

does anyone else find it weird that when you look up record stands, like furniture for your record player and sound system, um... there are never any speakers pictured? lol

"What is Lady Marmalade?"

lmao Peter and I both saw him and went "GARRETT!!!" and then I was like WAIT I THINK IT REALLY IS

Something about Steven makes me think he is unironically called "The Legend" by his friend group. Everyone who meets him at first thinks, I don't get it, he's just some nerdy white guy. But by the end of the night they're like YO THIS GUY IS THE LEGEND!!!!

Times are tough for David Rysdahl heads 😔 #alienearth

ummmm I wonder if they will decide to call it something else? 😭

I guess you have to know her

this senior dog gets a CPP benefit... for being a crazy phuckin' pooch!

I mean: can you believe this dialogue was NOT spoken by a Nova Scotian man?

i love old movies because there is always some dizzy dame who, when you were a kid, you thought was so funny. and now you realize she was absolutely just smashed drunk 100% of the time on set. as was the style at the time.

I'm reading Salem's Lot right now and I just have one question: when is Maine going to join the Maritimes?

Canva is so crazy because it's like... it's so deeply insulting that one stupid program ruined the entire design industry, but it was so successful that I can't even muster up the energy to care anymore. Like fine, I don't want to do your design anyway. Use a template. Who cares.

ATLANTIC JEWISH COUNCIL: DO THE RIGHT THING! DO THE HONOURABLE THING! APOLOGIZE! Independent Jewish Voices - Halifax condemns hateful opportunistic smears

if you're not spending time on a university campus or around young ppl, I regretfully have to report that the low rise jeans thing is not overblown. It's real. Bare midriffs everywhere.

It's only been two weeks, so it's absurd for me to act all wise and such, but so far I highly recommend getting a full-time permanent job you are overqualified for if you want to just feel very chill and competent all the time.

Reuters, could you have found a picture that was not GTA McMansions for this? lol

wow, that's a bit messed up, don't you think? he's only 65 years old

True Detective season 5

the lineup at the campus starbucks is long but I don't know what to do with a one hour lunch so I guess I'll stand in line

I had a dream that I was dating a 90s version of Michael Showalter and he was a really bad boyfriend. He kept ditching me! He was being so mean. And then I had to respond to an emergency but he thought *I* had ditched *HIM* so he blocked my number. I was so mad. Damn you, dream Michael Showalter.

i stand by this

i’m actually fine not having malcolm “koreans can’t fly planes because they’re too polite & the chinese are better at math because of the epigenetic memory of rice” gladwell on my side. i’m sure there’s a lovely garden party where he can go burn a cross with the other harper’s letter signatories.

god you know sometimes it's just stress all the way down

I'm starting my new job tomorrow, which is at a school. So I'm kinda also back to school. Nobody has offered to take a picture of me at the front door with "grade 28" written on a whiteboard... yet

moving back to ontario right before labour day has thoroughly confused me. things are not closed???

can I just be nitpicky for a second and say that I always get irritated when there is a band with a woman's name in it that is either a solo man or a band of all women? I just think it comes across a bit objectifying, which is a weird move in 2025. Would fit better in the emo era (not a compliment)

I keep seeing that commerical where the Oreo rolls down a hill and goes into the puff factory and comes out as a Cakester and I just have to say... How DARE Nabisco use my life story in their advertising
