Once an OTA, always an OTA.

Note to self: stop working OT; every time you do the trains break.

Living my best hermit life as the team tests out remote working for the first time.

Nothing like a 2hr+ commute after working overtime. Thankful for the little things today, like a bag of chocolate covered almonds and a hot water bottle waiting for me at home.

Was reminded today why I’m passionate about libraries; and all the hope and possibility they represent.

Unprepared: Getting ready to leave for an all day conference and there are no snacks in house.

It was a magical ride with all of you. Our city, our home, our fans showed up on the grand stage...and we couldn't be prouder.

Sending love to all #BlueJays fans tonight. Probably one of the greatest #WorldSeries ever… and we’ll forever be heartbroken. 💔 Gonna sting for a while, but we can be proud of this team and the incredible run.

Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays on a magnificent season. It is a shame either team had to lose. And this was a gut punch. 💔💔 Classy players, fanbase, and truly one of the finest cities in the world. Future is bright with Yeasavage, Barger, and Vladdy. Now go re-sign Bo.

Shattered. But the #BlueJays are one hell of a team. Thanks for a hell of a ride, gentlemen. #WorldSeries #Game7 #BlueJays #Toronto

As a fan of baseball, I couldn’t have asked for a better series. The Blue Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers both left it all on the field. It came down to a game seven, in extra innings.

The @torontobluejays.bsky.social bullpen had Alex Vesia’s number on their hats. “Whatever happens tomorrow, this is bigger than baseball.”

No one deserves to starve. We have enough food to feed everyone, but we have a serious problem with wealth inequality. We must stop viewing those who are disabled and/or poor as moral failures and start recognizing the system is rigged against us. It’s rigged against everyone but the 1%

A freak play appropriate for #Halloween. Freaky Friday for the #BlueJays. The #Dodgers strike back in Game 6. The #WorldSeries is now a best-of-1. Game 7 decides who gets all the chocolates on Saturday.

This Series will now go at least 72 innings. The previous record for a modern Series (s 1947) was 1991, when Atlanta and the Twins played 69.

Love the Jays manager & players in the interviews after that tough ending. Zero negativity, page immediately turned, confident and joyous even about playing a huge Game 7 at home. “Two best words in sports. Game 7.” Get it tomorrow, boys. The whole country is behind you. #TeamCanada #GoJaysGo

The Dodger may have given us a fright on Halloween night, but we have the heart and drive to persevere. Let’s go Toronto! @torontobluejays.bsky.social #WeWantItAll

All settled in for an evening of charcuterie and September baseball. Doesn’t get much better.

Speechless after watching the #NationalTheatreLive production of #InterAlia. A powerful piece with a masterful performance by Rosamund Pike. interalia.ntlive.com/synopsis/

I saw this via "National Theatre Live" and it really is very good, an absolute tour do force from Pike for whom it's almost a monologue.

Just got home from seeing inter Alia at the cinema (national theatre live) and oh my god what a show I’m crying so much ahhh Rosamund Pike the woman you are

Channeled my inner Vera and found a defect during User Acceptance Testing. #SuperSleuth

Does hibernating count as a hobby?

It may still be August, but my season of warming up with a hot shower has officially begun.

Peanut butter feeds my body so that I can afford the arts that feed my soul.

Today I’m not cheering for a Team, I’m cheering for a Number. Let’s Go No. 95 - Jen Pawol calling Balls and Strikes today!! 🤩🤓🎉

Words cannot express the joy and awe I felt when I heard that @mlb.com will have it’s first female umpire this weekend!

The advantage to trains running every five minutes: it’s both easy and relatively convenient to get off and wait for the next one to avoid obnoxious passengers who would otherwise ruin your mood and your day.

The advantage of my new routine filled with long commutes? All the more time for audiobooks!

My body is out of practice for the whole desk job thing. Any tips?

Feels like the first day of school. Set the alarm earlier than I’m used to catch the bus across town to my new gig.

Healthy way to let the Rage escape? Dance party to some Hamilton tunes blasted through the Beats.

Started my day with a win thanks to the @ottawaredblacks.com.

I’m generally an optimist and have a lot of faith in people (can’t do public engagement work & not have this I think). But I get really concerned at where we’re at as a society when the desire for convenient parking is consistently considered more important than kids having space to play.

Spent the day doing arts and crafts; also know as program prep. Not sure I’m ready to give that up for a desk job.

Nobody wants lots of people driving on their street and Nobody wants people speeding on their street. Yet we continue to prioritize the quick movement of cars.

When your day off coincides with the first day of Summer vacation, obviously you spend it with the littles. #AuntLife

I chose the wrong day to wear grey. #Hottawa

He let in one. He batted in two. #TwoWayShohei strikes again.

Many thanks to the Dodgers and Ohtani for a very helpful escapism tonight.

Love that Shohei got the first RBI of the game for the Dodgers after giving up the first run. #TwoWayShohei

i should not still be awake lol

we only got one inning but hey it was FUN

I don’t want baseball to be automated, but they need to do better than allow calls like this.

When Ohtani’s pitching comeback lines up with the @mlb.com TV free game of the day, you obviously stay up past your bedtime to watch.

Five minutes in the backyard and I’ve got not less than three fresh mosquito bites. Apparently I’m irresistible.

Working part-time has its pros and cons. Today, I’m enjoying the pro of a quiet patio. #SilverLinings

I borrowed a book from the library and fell in love. Today, I picked up my forever copy of it from a local independent book shop.

I’m a little old lady. I’m sitting outside, trying to enjoy the beautiful weather (23C). But it’s too cold. I’m seriously contemplating a blanket or moving inside. This is absurd.

And for goodness's sake, please stop queer gatekeepers. Ace, aro, agender, intersex, bisexual, pansexual, and so forth are here to stay. Shoving people back into the closet for whatever reason is an act of oppressive cruelty. Happy Pride, my loves. Be fierce.
