Nothing in my own garden is blooming, but the tulips at the festival are putting on a show. #bloomscrolling

Hey looks it's me

Emails. Mostly.

Every day is a good day to look up with an expression of intense epiphany from a piece of art and say "Ah! I am not the target audience for this!" Repeat as necessary! Not everything is for you!

Oh god is it leaf blower season already?

teaaaa

Crying this morning over the fact that, having moved away, I am no longer my brother's go-to dog-sitter. (Having a real normal one over here)

Ottawa folks, does anyone have any recommendations for second hand furniture stores?

I hope the seedlings sprouting in my kitchen know how vital their growth has become to my mental wellbeing

I washed and put away my heavy winter coat over the weekend, so really I have no one to blame but myself.

I love this cover!

It's snowing again. My kingdom for a holiday to somewhere that's experiencing spring.

this is what actual literature discourse is like now

I was excited about the snow melting and getting to see my yard for the first time until I realized how many monstrous dog turds have been left for me by the previous occupants 🙄

If you're thinking or dreaming of the moon, let me take a minute to recommend Shoeshine Boy & Cigarette Girl. Tonight was really the perfect night for this library hold to come through.

Devastated to report that I did in fact sleep better last night after exercising after work.

It's 9:30am and I have patched the grout in the shower, fixed the back of my bookshelf and replaced my doorbell. Rest? I don't know her. BUT, I am nearly done with my "do these things immediately" list, and then I can do something fun*, like grocery shopping.

we’re sooooo back

"Move-in ready" is a lie.

So I don't have any furniture yet but I do have this!

I've picked probably the worst day this week to drive up to Ottawa.

CANADIANS!!! Please fill this out and share it widely because HOLY SHIT. I struggle to drive on the freeway at night now because of the headlights.

One of the first things I'm going to do once I've moved is get a new library card. Maybe even before the furniture arrives.

Oh wait, it’s Friday the 13th, I can legitimately repost this! 🗡️

Anyone playing at Ironic-But-Not-Ironic Literary Snobbery in a world of book bans and right-wing censorship of history is a dabbler at best, and at worst destined to become part of the problem. They’ve already got one foot in the misogyny bucket, and will surely trip on it.

frankly romantasy is currently footing the bill for the rest of us by keeping a crumbling publishing industry afloat a while longer and you don't have to read the stuff to appreciate that it's bringing in readers who will eventually want to read more things, perhaps even in different points of view

I love* realizing I made a mistake on my 2024 taxes while trying to do my 2025 taxes. *I don't love it.

I have packed all but 10 of my books, but naturally I don't want to read any of those 10 books right now.

Finding the word game on the Tim Hortons app might be the worst thing that's ever happened to my productivity

My life for the next few weekends is just going to be packing boxes and uhhh It's possible I have too many books.

I was so happy to find my old iPod classic while packing. Charged it up and.. there is nothing on it anymore?! rip to my 2009 playlists, I was so looking forward to the evidence that my musical tastes haven't changed much.

I told myself I wouldn't do anything related to my upcoming move today, yet here I am 8 hours later, surrounded by boxes and a mess that's entirely of my own making.

A lot of people on this site are very bad at boundaries and have not quite achieved sufficient theory of mind to recognize that other people are not just content dispensers and rage sinks, and it is very fucking tedious

The tea bag at the bottom of the mug explains why my coffee tasted off this morning. Perhaps I should have stayed in bed a while longer.

It's not a coincidence that I've been back to work for 5 weeks and have not touched any of my paintings in that time.

I have somehow only just realized that the Olympics are a) this year, and b) this weekend.

So many of the things I want to do can't be done until I sort my housing out, so they're on hold. For now, at least I can get new books.

I saw the 5 classes thing going round and considered doing my own '5 classes I failed,' but I spend enough time wishing I could have a do over of that part of my life, I don't need to get specific about it. Logging off instead.

40 cm of snow in the last 24 hours. Why did my parents choose this place to immigrate? I was built for cold and rainy not cold and putting my back out shoveling goddamn snow.

Today has just been shoveling, shoveling again, coming inside to wait until I need to shovel, then more shoveling. At least the physical activity shuts the brain up for a while.

Hi we're abstaining because it sucks ass, hope that helps

I'm very jealous of the neighbourhood kids today. I, too, would like a snow day.

So I've learned some things about resin (and my house, omg the dust), but overall I'm pretty happy with these. I might use them as coasters, or maybe still a magnet on the back and put them on the fridge.

If I'm going to keep experimenting with resin I'm going to need to find somewhere else to store the curing projects because urghhh, the same room as my desk is NOT the answer.

my eternal thanks to whoever first made sticky toffee cheddar
