Decided to take myself out for lunch. Other than not being licensed yet (I really wanted a fancy cocktail), the location doesn't disappoint. The Grand @ncc-ccn.gc.ca

I wonder if there's a connection between there being so much garbage all over the place, and there being very few garbage cans in popular pedestrian areas. 🤔 *Shoves snack garbage into knapsack*

Our trees are still weirdly green, Ottawa. I was hoping for a little more colour change over the last few days.

This seems like a problem. #Autowa

A good friend has just picked up a bike rental in Amsterdam. I simultaneously am so jealous, and so happy for him.

Nature is pretty.

It's a glorious morning. #Halisky

You guyz ever heard of this place, Peggy's Cove? It seems like a popular spot.

Today is Nonidi the 19th of Vendémiaire in the year 234. Vendémiaire is the month of vintage. Today we celebrate sunflowers.#JacobinDay More information on sunflowers

My Mom is not the type to want for anything. As long as her bills are paid, and there's food in the fridge, she's happy, and "makes do" with whatever she has. I just spent $150 on kitchen stuff to upgrade what she has or doesn't have as the case may be. I can't wait to give it to her.

Laying next to an open window with a good gust blowing, the air smells different, the trees look different, and the Beer Store is called the LC. It's good to be home for a bit.

This seems to be an even worse problem if there's construction in the area. Gee Gary, I'm sorry you didn't plan your time better and having to wait a bit extra in traffic triggered your rage. But red lights still apply.

I bought enough baklava at Prince Bakery today to share with at least 2 others, but I don't think I will. The guy gave me an Oreo and cream layered dessert for free, that his Mom made. It's delicious.

Jeezus crisp, dying is expensive. Not sure how we, as a species, managed to make it so fucking difficult on the living to deal with death, beyond the grief and loss parts. It's really just a giant racket.

It was #bike #night at #nuitblanche in #toronto last night. Starting off w/ #art featuring road tensions & the asinine Doug Ford #onpoli #topoli as well as all sorts of bikes in action across the city. #biketo #cycling

It was also #walkto night at #nuitblanche in #toronto last night. Loving this piece that gives a nod to #safestreets, ironic given what the asinine Doug Ford #onpoli #topoli is up to. And, of course, lots more #biketo #cycling fun with neon rave riders & the moving #art #music #ride.

But people on bikes go thru stop signs! #Autowa

The LRT being closed for maintenance on Panda Game weekend is such a confusing and poor decision. Ottawa consistently forgets to think of the needs of students and transit riders when making decisions.

Daily questions that apparently are being asked by more than one person.

Hey #ottawa the west bound parkway of KZM is not open this morning. I must have missed the notice from the NCC cuz riding on the parkway and having people drive straight at you going 80 is very fucking fun. We rode the parkway yesterday, so fuck me for thinking it would be open today #ottbike

Not even 9am, and Autowa is being obnoxious already. It's gonna be a really loud weekend in Centretown, folks. #VvvvVvRRrrrRRrROOooOOoOOoMMmmmMmmMMMMmmmmmMMm #LOOKITMAHCARRRRR #Autowa #Balance

Re-upped my mint chocolate Girl Guide cookie stash. Already ate eight cookies. 🍪

Hey #ottawa there is a coffee ride, this Saturday October 4th. It’s a great group of folks, lots of fun bikes and enjoyed every ride this year. 10 AM at Bayview station out to Rockcliffe Park. You should come and tell your friends. Account is step.thruu on instagram ✌️

Oh. Mah. Lord. 🤦🏼

I love how for every road project like this, they add the obligatory "safety and access will be maintained for pedestrians and cyclists" but then it looks like this in real life. Maybe since we pay cops so effing much, we could get a couple in hiviz to go direct these GD fools. #Autowa

Relative risk of long Covid symptoms in kids & adolescents after a 2nd vs. 1st infection This is really bad

I'm flying to NS for my grandmother's finalé next week, and I'm unreasonably excited to see fall colours from the air. That, and the first Thanksgiving with my family in 16 years.

It's not too late to start masking again It's not too late to start cleaning the air It's not too late to prioritize your long term health and the health of your community It's not too late to show solidarity with disabled and vulnerable people Disability... a minority group you can join anytime

I just think drivers complaining about bike riders not obeying traffic signals is way funnier than any comedians' best joke.

I wrote this a few years ago. www.thecoast.ca/news-opinion...

Today was like the boulder from Indiana Jones.

If I worked for the government, and had a paid day off on a Tuesday, I would go do something outside that I normally would only do on a weekend.

Who's kid is selling Girl Guide cookies in Centretown {}Westboro corridor?

Just did a little 10km practice route bike ride. I didn't realize the destruction of the new hospital reached that far into the Experimental Farm. The pathway I was planning to take no longer exists. 😔

Mark Grantham (artist, Nova Scotia) was a neighbour of mine in Halifax, and he's a wonderful soul. He and his partner were assaulted while out. They are both independent artists, and have suffered some pretty significant injuries. Please give if you can. 💔

This should be a snap for me. 😏

This should be a snap for me. 😏

TFW you stop at Kowloon and they don't have the snack you wanted to buy... 😭 #CentretownProblems

Rode out to Aylmer today for gelato. I was gonna have a beer and a snack at the Aylmer Marina, but the restaurant closed last year, apparently. That's okay, I had a beer and a snack in my pannier, just in case. 😏 #IBikeForIceCream

Well I'll be ordering some of these with my next mask order, that's for sure.

I was a teen in Halifax when Dr. Morgentaler opened his clinic. I saw all the vitriol he got. I didn't understand, at that young age, why people would be mad about safe health care for pregnant people. I still don't. #AbortionIsHealthcare

I was gonna go to the grocery store after work, but decided a ride home along the River, to take a picture of the sunset, was a better idea. No regerts.

I was asked twice today about my mask, and both were positive! Most of the time it's just a "are you sick!?!" but today I was actually asked where to get the one I wear! Always happy to give a recommendation. 😷👍🏼

Yanno, I didn't take time to fully appreciate how wonderful it was to not see PeePee on SM, and not even read his name, nor think about him even! For all that time! I regret forgetting all about him, and not specifically enjoying having forgotten about him.

What I sing when I walk thru the room with the litter box after Charlie has her after-supper poo.

Welcome to the neighbourhood Klimat climbing gym! And thanks for adding a new bike rack - looks like it is appreciated (and might even need more!). If you run a business on a bike lane this is the way! #BikesAreGoodForBusiness #OttBike

I'm relieved to see that the trucks have a park to park in for free while work is being done on Richmond. Too bad they commandeered one of the two picnic tables in Byron Linear park, which are used by quite a few people who work at the end of Westboro.

How do I mute all sports on SM.

"I'm a driver, a cyclist, and a pedestrian..." Oh congratulations, you Multi Modal Wunderkind, now what's your shit take on road safety?

LOL FUCK OFF AI.
