Car too big for you to reach the roof? Get a step stool and leave it in your car. Zero excuses.

I'm still trying to figure out how to get rid of all Marjorie Taylor Greene (mtg), without getting rid of all my Magic The Gathering (mtg).

“sex scenes don’t even advance the plot!!” i dunno dude the plot said these people were gonna fuck

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

The idea of SKATING to a game is quite possibly one of the best things I've heard on a bit. Sadly, the Canal is actually closed tomorrow due to the warm weather. But putting the SKATE CHECK into my back pocket for the next game.

repost to give those 2 or 3 followers who always like your weird posts a little forehead kiss & a grilled cheese cut diagonally

can a human be gay for just one person

Ice was surprisingly good for first day open. And we weren't even out early! Good job to the NCC team! @rideaucanalskate.bsky.social

We’re starting this season with a BANG! 💥 The Rideau Canal Skateway opens tomorrow, Wednesday December 31, at 8 am! We’re in the home stretch of preparations to open a 3.4 km section between Somerset West and the Bank Street bridge. The Bank Street stairs will not be open for now.

Friends. It happened again tonight.

Me, brushing my teeth before bed: "Oh god! Why is it pink!? Where am I bleeding?" Also me: puts 4 cherries in my (triple) Manhatten for my end of night drink.

people have FOMO about parties but i have FOMO about homeownership

Me to person clearing off their windows, while they're parked on the sidewalk: "You're parked on the sidewalk." Boomer: "I know I'm just trying to clear the snow from my windows." Me, not stopping: "Should have done that before you started driving, lady." Boomer: *shocked pikachu face. *

It's SO EASY to make sides GF or Vegan if you've got anyone coming with sensitivities. Make most food work for everyone and then have a couple things for specific folks. (My MIL can't do soy, so she doesn't have the Furkey, but she makes meat for the meat eaters. All sides are vegan.)

Happy Birthday Mayfair! 93 years young.

Just realized that Sirens fans (PWHL) chant "Let's Go Sirens! Wee Oooo Wee Ooooo!" Because it's a siren. (Let me tell you about the time I realized movies are called that because they MOVE.)

This morning's walk to work was a wool base layers, wool blend button up, THICK wool sweater (lopi), wool socks, and wool toque kind of morning. I did toss my denim jacket over the top though. My ski stuff is down in storage still. So early for this cold.

In this house, we celebrate the Maulidays.

Pedestrian beg button on the Southeast side of Isabella at O'Connor was not working this morning. (Possibly frozen?) And you HAVE to press the button there to get a light. Trying to do a 311 report and there is no option for malfunctioning buttons? @shawnmenard.bsky.social @en.ottawa.ca

That number seems low… I MEAN MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

My one and ONLY note.... That actually looks more like a Gardein Turk'y Roast... not a Tofurky. (Also noting the spelling change to "tofurkey"....)

Barda says GO CHARGE GOOOOOO!!!

I don't always like bad movies, but when I do, it's usually because of MST3K. We've been to 4 live events (technically one was RiffTrax), and every single one was amazing. (Wish I had a better photo of my suit though.)

Something seen at the Ottawa Charge game last night.

Let's friggen gooooooo. #pwhl #OttawaCharge

Woody The Talking Tree has awakened from his slumber to usher in another Christmas season. While he may seem slightly unsettling, all Woody asks for is Cinnabon sacrifices. But where did he come from? This is the story of Woody The Talking Tree. 🧵1/6

Pumped up before today's commute. <20PSI on 1.75" tires was decidedly not fun, but the (proper) 65PSI was much nicer! Didn't feel like I was riding through sand nearly as much.

It is time.

First commute on the winter bike today and oof... I should have actually pumped up those tires instead of "ehn, feels fine." Also really gotta get the seat post unstuck, it's far too low. Felt like a clown bike. (I keep it lower than any of my other bikes for ease of putting a foot down.)

So I guess this is why I haven't been nearly hit damn near every day when biking or walking in front of the Sonder at O'Connor and Gladstone. It shut on Sept 29.

It's remote clicker on the Kobo while being fully covered up to the neck by blankets while reading in bed while a cat and/or a dog lay on my legs season and I couldn't be happier.

Snow. ❄️🤍

I love biking for fun and exercise. I also love biking for transportation and errands. Once I have better storage, I do want to get a nice e bike. Not owning a car can make certain things more difficult, but the cost savings are incredible.

"... Iconic destinations." Except they won't do anything to actually make it easier to get to (fix transit). Or nicer to be a human in (remove personal vehicles). Or a place for local businesses ($$$$ rent.)

Woah woah woah. Just had a thought. Does Bill 60 also mean that roads can't be closed to vehiclular traffic for *temporary* bike lanes (ie. NCC bike days, CN Ride for CHEO, etc.)

I shouldn't get a coffee advent calendar (So much waste!) but also I want a coffee advent calendar (Whimsey! New coffees without possibly hating them and wasting a bag!)

"But it's cold! They can't be outside for long without the car." DRESS WARMLY UNDER A COSTUME. Or over. It doesn't matter. Park the car. Leave the car. If you HAVE to drive, turn your lights on (yes, saw a car last night without lights), drive slowly, give lots of space.

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

There was a watermain break on Carleton Campus last Friday. There's another one right now. When I was working on campus, I dealt with two different floods in my building. They've had at least one more since I moved departments. Failing infrasctucure is everywhere and it sucks.

Spotted some friends on an after work bike ride. #SpotTheEgret

So... These "new units" will go on the market, for a higher price, and the people who are being kicked out will ALSO need housing, but will likely not be able to afford it. That's not an increase in housing supply, that's an increase of money in a Landlord's pockets and screwing the renters.

If only there was some way for this driver to have realized they had already gone the wrong way on a one way street (they went north on O'Connor at Strathcona). And then tried to continue the wrong way (north) at Pretoria. #ottbike #autowa

Of course women don’t like the Cybertruck. Women only want one thing, and it’s Baby.

I'm wearing a pair of (men's) dress pants I bought in early 2020 for my (then new) job. They didn't fit when I started going back to the office, but I kept them because they're nice. Tried them on last night, they fit again! I know why men commit crimes though. No stretch. So uncomfortable.

What is it about the tiniest bit of rain that makes drivers forget that people outside of cars exist?

My High School already dropped the name a few years ago.

CHUCK KNOWS WHAT'S UP.

How? Just how?
