Whyyyyyyyy did I just agree to co-author a last-minute journal article on SEM between now and May 1st!?

In the past, folks have given me critique that my emails are too direct or clipped. Then I realized I literally reply to my 𝘩𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥'𝘴 emails with, like: "Submitted 2026/1/15, ref # 8675309 - pending." <send>. If it's good enough for the man I let eat my last gummy bear, it's good enough for anyone.

If I just write "paid" on bills and leave them out, the husband thinks they're paid. Tra la la. (j/k)

Thank you, *checks notes* 𝘯𝘰𝘵 Pierre Punchableface, for driving down at least one indicator of inflation. https://ow.ly/fnRt50XVSkH

Over a decade ago, I had a colleague who would say "gross" (instead of "bless you") every time someone sneezed. I still say it to myself after me or my husband sneeze. 🤧 Said it quietly to myself today and overheard a coworker laugh at it.

Pro tip: Run your business like a certain leading online retailer. Expressly ask customers when their business is open to accept deliveries, then only attempt to deliver ridiculously outside of those parameters, over and over.

Wait, the National Lacrosse League (NLL) branding allows for unique colour treatments by team? Why doesn't anyone use that feature!? news.sportslogos.net/2016/12/18/n...

Sometimes all it takes is hopping on an impromptu 60 minute video call and drawing out a flowchart together of what needs to happen next. And that's great, and that's fine. If it moves the project forward, it's time well spent.

Vancouver people when it snows, it appears...

Babygirl, if you're going to tailgate someone thru the SkyTrain pay gates, try to be less OBVIOUS about it. I will just stop and squish you in the gate.

I'm not saying my dog is stupid. I am saying she'd starve at an unmonitored, all-you-can-eat buffet.

Omg don't mind me having a tiny meltdown this morning, wondering where half my emergency savings went, finally remembering they transferred to a GIC because of the new year.

An interesting phenomenon: My house is at the end of a street, very near the airport train. My street has a beautiful view toward the mountains. Many folks stop at the end of our street to take an "end of journey" photo, luggage in tow, just before getting onto the train to head home. It's lovely. 💗

When you don't live in a city with an Ikea, you're like OMG IKEA WHAT A DREAM IKEA IKEA MARRY ME IKEA. Then when you live in a city with an Ikea, you're like 'k.'

Watching our backup-favourite lacrosse team, NLL Roughnecks DOMINATE, with our backup-favourite mascot, Howie.

OMG, I forgot I drafted this slightly sassy question for my SEM grad students. We've reached that chapter and they've started responding, and I am *living* for their equally-candid responses. 💗

It feels like every time I play any "made for you" country playlist on streaming, it always starts with Darius Rucker "Wagon Wheel." I mean, it's a bop, but not after hearing it for the 40,000th time.

Y'know, I haven't had cake all year. I think I can treat myself.

I am pleased to share I accomplished all three of my 2026 new year's resolutions.

My new year's resolutions for 2026 are to: 1. Accomplish eye-moistening. 2. Participate in breathing of the nose and mouth. 3. Do a stand and a sit.

Should I run for the leadership of the BC Conservatives? Sounds like everyone and their dog is "strongly considering" it. #bcpoli

Crossing a street at a crosswalk, checked both ways, only car coming was moving slow. I start crossing. Car lays its horn on me. So I stopped, stood directly in front of his car and made obscene gestures at him, which made him angrier. I'll now live rent-free in his head for the rest of the week. 😘

We took a bow from a Christmas gift and popped it on a plushie, and her new name is "Sia," like the musician.

Dynamic range is beautiful in classical music and all, but I don't want to feel like the piano and violins are screaming at me (and then totally inaudible) as I get ready for bed.

Merry Katy Perry's Boyfriend's Birthday to those who celebrate.

Folks keep assuming that if DJT's name appears in the Epstein files that *any* of his cult members will care at all. They don't and they won't. Have we not gotten that yet?

Erika Kirk, a grift that keeps grifting.

Realizing it's a December 23 and I've really not listened to as much Christmas music as I normally would or like to. But I did pick up this new-to-me LP.

Airline gate agent: We are now boarding zone 3, zone 3, if you're in zone 3 please line up now. 2 seconds later, angry AF: DO NOT LINE UP IF YOU ARE ZONE 3 YOU ARE SLOWING DOWN BOARDING. WE ARE ONLY BOARDING ZONES 1 & 2. Honey, make up your mind.

100% agree with his base sentiment… so let's shift money from conventional policing to social workers and community services. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The in-laws gave the millennials an assignment to clear out all the booze in their house. It's a challenge but I'm three drinks in. Cherry Mistmas!

My in-laws trust me to cook Christmas dinner, in their kitchen, and this is a whole transformative moment in my life. 😅

Airline: "If you've put a small bag in the overhead bin, please take it out and put it under your seat." Me with my long-ass legs and singular tiny carry-on: "That instruction is for Sharon and her ridiculous six carry-ons, not me."

Rainy days for Thompson Rivers University have gotten a little less grey thanks to a big donation. It's been an unenviable, ugly situation across #CdnPSE but effective fundraising helped soften it for one BC university. share.google/zXV8jI9SzBWU...

New sign appeared this morning. While I mostly trust BC's privacy laws, I don't trust that FIFA won't want access to security footage/data. I'm also un-thrilled with how much this is going to cost taxpayers to install.

After listening to this, I’m even more outraged, Mayor Sim doesn’t have a good explanation to anything. The budget is worse than what I already thought. The elections can’t come soon enough #Vancouver podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

Happy birthday, pal! #MickeyMouse

One of my friends is like "oh yeah I'm playing Carnegie Hall tonight," and I'm like "I re-potted a plant and refilled my cleaning products."

I love when you're scrolling social and get an aesthetics salon advert with a pic like this that says "Trust Dr. So-And-So for Natural Looking Beauty Results"

I got my healthy-happy jabs for Miss Corona and Auntie Influenza. 💉💉 Thank you public health system!

Nothing like a telezombie who's so engrossed in its phone, it completely misses the train pull up, open its doors, chime, and close its doors… and then look up and panic. 🤫🫣

I picked up *just* a burger from A&W last night. It was $9.65 for *just* the burger. A very mediocre burger. Racketeering at all levels is reaching insane levels.

I love my dog, but on occasion I can't stand her "I need to merge all my atoms with yours right now" clinginess as soon as I sit down. Like, you've been home with WFH Daddy all day. You have not been alone.

Schools want the revenue from international learners, but a few don't want to put in the effort once they've arrived.

In my Alternate Science Food Pyramid, red meats are now vegetables and poultry is now fruit, so now I'm a vegetarian and I'm going to lord that superiority over everyone.

Hey kids, here's your reminder to clean your dryer lint traps after each load.

Me: Hi bank, I would like to update my name. Here is the documentation. I do not need replacement cards. Bank: Ok, here are new cards with your old name on them anyway. Bank: Here is another set of new cards with your old name on them. Bank: How was our service?
