Zionist propaganda falls apart if you just tell TRRRRROOOOOLLLLLLLL at them (Pls don't follow me for more anti-fascist tips)

Promised Ross is knit him a cardi So now starts the "what about this pattern? Or this pattern? Or this one? This?" (It's gonna be a Labrador road trip knit)

40th anniversary of Irene's Block party going on (until 9pm) and I'm low key uncomfortable with how many people I know here (Because I have to make small talk)

It's not that I don't want to talk to you It's that I'm autistic and I don't know what's going on

I don't usually have a dealer table set up in my living room but you want suggestions, I got suggestions. October is Black Speculative Fiction Month. I'm a little early. These are just a few of the books from my shelves you might want to add to yours. Embiggen, then search engine.

Marry/Mary/Merry merger except you're from the Ottawa Valley and "merry" is "murry" which sounds like "Murray" I mumbled as I eat a strawbury

This knitting project is cursed but I am a victim of sunk cost fallacy - a knitter's biography

Social services, and that includes Canada Post, are not businesses Lots of remote communities rely on Canada Post. Also not shocked that our PM is more concerned with money over social services

Making friends at this super busy Costco by being in the way (but politely)

Buying expensive dinnerware because adult (This isn't like the expensive heirloom family china I inherited) ((Although I really should use it more because my cousin tried to start a family fight over it being left to me and eff you Beth!))

I remember when the loonie was introduced, my mom would give me lunch money and say "oh wait that's just coins, here's a bit more" and it would be like $26

My niece was just in CBC as part of a feature on skateboard parks There was even a part where she taught the journalist a trick 😭

I need to get through my stash but I also need to treat myself to new yarn A story Ross has heard a million times

I just frogged 90% of a project because I didn't like the fit Knitting is 50% frogging (It's called frogging because you rip it, rip it)

I don't want this space to become all "me talking about my work" but....I did a really good job at something that is so far outside my wheelhouse. People are impressed, I'M impressed I deserve a cookie

Oh I guess we're going to Milan

Free pie at the pub It's a story (server, pie employee biking with pie) but the end result is free pie Key lime, tasty

Ross is still suffering from jetlag, so he's up early in the mornings... encroaching on my sacred alone time

When you say someone’s existence is up for debate, you are saying that your hobby is hurting them.

Received my Prosper with Dragons card set and it is so pretty Going to post on my Being Neighbourly group to find a few folks to play it with

It's September so I can now say Anyone invited to take the Canadian federal government second language exams will receive emails that I helped create Minimally for the reading and writing, but I was the person in charge of creating the emails for the oral test

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

Just in case other Canadians haven't seen this - if you bought bread between 2001 and 2021, you are owed $25 canadianbreadsettlement.ca If you're able to, it would make a nice donation to your local food bank

One of our cats is....terrified of people. Except me and Ross, and weirdly his group of friends that come over every few months to play boardgames

I just really like looking out airplane windows. No idea where this is but I just thought it was a pretty view

Made it back home 🎉 it was dicey, our flight from Zurich arrives late and we had to run through YUL to our Ottawa flight

Starting the journey home but OF COURSE it is us so first we go to Zurich

"is it your first time here?" Me (in my Ottawa Valley twang): yes, food was delicious! "So you'll be back?" I mean sure, but I'm not likely to be back to Newcastle

The end of the trip, and the end of the wall I've been following for the past week Walking along Hadrian's Wall has been a bucket list item for 20 years. So glad I finally got to do it!! (Not gonna let MS get in the way of my dreams 😁)

Me too sheep, me too

Guide pointing to a map "So the Roman ruins are up here, the barracks, hospital, famous toilets....and then down here is the murder house" Excuse me?!???

Surprise alpacas!

Launching mâci-nêhiyawêtân - tell your friends and family to start learning nêhiyawêwin/Cree! apihtawikosisan.com/2025/09/maci...

One of the best parts of today's hike - rainbow after the rain There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing

In hindsight this should have told me I was in the wrong trail

(in a pub we've never been to before) Me: where are the washrooms? Ross: upstairs Me: I don't wanna go upstairs, it's always weird upstairs It was weird upstairs.

An old guy in the pub gave us pizza last night, and I gotta say Carlisle has some nice pizza. Sauce in the crust makes way more sense than cheese

Our hike across England has begun

Locals are feeding us

Hiking across England for the next week I know I take a lot of vacations, but this work project is destroying me and I honestly need this (And the trip to Iceland that I'm trying to convince P2 to take for our birthdays)

I remember the underground trains being bigger

"ai isn't going away" ok but neither is death and you don't see me here drinking poison and hitting myself with a hammer

I think we bounced a little on landing

Kinda wondering why Doug Ford is so anti-Ontario Like sure, fed public servants back to the office 5x a week! Help the economy! Uh, some of us work in Quebec you absolute rutabaga

I've become THE person on my team to go to on this project and it's weird because the other people are higher up the ladder (management) I'm like 99% sure it's because people think I'm younger than I am

I feel like this happened to @nathanburgoine.bsky.social when he, correctly!, placed Thanksgiving in October

Aaaand that's a wrap until I get more funding. I will publish a thorough intro to the work I've done on the Cree course so far, and I'll do a more official launch next week - but you can check out the first few lessons now! courses.apihtawikosisan.com

So we let our neighbours use our driveway occasionally, and they always leave a gift (we've said it isn't needed) Anyway they've started leaving these Polish chocolate covered plums and I need to know where they got them

I have MS, am overweight, menopausal and there's probably some arthritis happening and I'm going to hike across England because I want to Just y'know do the things you want, in a way you can safely and healthily

It's probably the autism talking, but bread with sauce* is the best *Jam, hummus, PB, butter, pasta, gravy etc etc etc
