Hi, hello there, I'm sorry, this is so embarrassing, but I have never called for a general strike before, and I don't know the appropriate venue. Is there a phone number to call? Or maybe an app to download where if enough people press the red button etc?

Béla Tarr visiting a store in Peru selling pirated DVDs and posing with the owner and bootlegs of his own work, one of the realest ones, RIP

Dear Bluesky, would you please help me find something? I had read an annecdote about a mute (?) man and his interpreter. The man conveys his displeasure about something to the interpreter, and the interpreter replies "do I have to be that rude?" The man responds "they'd deserve to know the truth."

I had a great time in Paris, Daniella Haim. Surely you've been? Dying to know your favourite spots.

I've seen some jaw-dropping knockers in my day, but this might take the cake

(Maybe I should expand EclairWatch to PastryWatch? Anyway.) Friends, enemies, lovers, and the rest: I urge you to visit Boris Lumé next time you're in Paris

EclairWatch 2026 (1) Le Fournil de Dany et Lio Chocolate. Not bad. I've made better and worse. I feel lucky that I was able to find one at all on Christmas day. (2) Boulangerie Artisan Speculos. Much better. Made fresh, crisp without being overcooked. Why is it so hard to find vanilla?

Those new to Bsky need to be made aware of one of the greatest skeets ever, deleted long before its time.

"Yes, father?"

Found footage romantic comedy

Popcorn, I am trying to grade these exams

My new "joke" in the classroom is to say gesundheit anytime an inanimate object makes any obviously non-human sound, like a chair squeaking against the floor or a water bottle clanging against the desk.

I found this display on a walk around Vancouver last week

Pop culture confession: For years, I assumed Wanda Vision was a Wanda Sykes vehicle.

Time for a beer

Frying tofu in lard, ama

New gourd dropped

One of my favourite times of year

Just realizing that I set the clock on the work microwave (a selfless act of herculean proportions) on the Friday *before* daylight savings 🤦‍♂️

Forgot to post cupboard ghosts on Halloween

Don't forget to go to bed an hour later than usual but wake up of your own volition at the usual time for the next week or so

Happy Halloween, everybody

Tonight's adventure: wasabi from my backyard

If you are looking for spooky stop-motion animation, may I recommend: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZbS...

A Roast Leg of lamb makes a fine dinner

I've been drinking coffee for a while now, only now occurring to be I can make both cups of coffee at the same time, and spend longer on the couch undisturbed

I love popcorn, but it makes me angry that we can't pop other grains just as easily

Can we get some dang ornamental gourds on the feed?

Someone's demanding a lot of lower back attention this morning

CAT YAWN PICS WHILE CAT-SITTING ANGELBELLE

No notes

100% whole wheat sourdough

Two helpers diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less hamburgered

"Taylor, this is Paint Drying (2016), it's going to blow your mind"

70% whole wheat, 18% rye, 12% bread flour sourdough

Still

Nap time

Another haul from Brasserie Fantome, the last one until I drink down my stock. (Any guesses how many of their bottles I have in my cellar?)

Pro-tip: if you enter "hell yeah" as your special instructions to your pick-up order, the cook will absolutely rain down toppings on your pizza.

Last bloom of the year is always the spookiest: cobweb spiderwort

Coming at you on this beautiful Monday afternoon, another loaf of homemade 100% whole wheat sourdough bread. Where are my crumb heads? I got you covered.

I drove out to my friend's modest 14 acre farm this morning, and pressed 10 gallons apple juice. Do you like a dry cider, Danielle Haim? I'd be happy to pour you a glass from previous vintages

I just need $2 000 000.00

CBC's late 90s/early 00s "The Newsroom" (*not* the Sorkin 2012 hbo series which I have never seen)

I love roasted potatoes so much

Irrefutable proof of the wasps inside your figs!

Danielle Haim, I am growing ten different varieties of blueberry bushes in my backyard. Happy to chat more about my garden over a glass of wine.
