Just realized that I was supposed to refrigerate my fancy zero-proof Campari substitute and it’s gone all weird. It wasn’t cheap!

If your heart is not aflutter looking at this, you might need CPR

Today in cleaning up my jewelry box, happened upon these cute earrings. Findings were black with tarnish and the glass beads were dirty. Polished and cleaned and voila! I think these were a gift from years back m. Son says they look very space age

Behold the power of the Sunshine polishing cloth!

Rehearsal glam

The fabulous queerdos of The Improv Centre competed for the Improv Pride Race crown last night. What a hilarious night, in the divine company of @marshallmallow.bsky.social Two more Pride events coming up—join us! theimprovcentre.ca

Whenever there is more great news about the HPV vaccine, I note that my husband was very fortunate that his throat cancer last year was stage 2 and successfully treated. But he has lost most of his ability to taste Get the vaccine! HPV is no joke. I am so glad my kids had access to it

Reasons to follow @peculiarityshop.bsky.social. 1) i'm a fucking delight 2) i sell delightful things 3) the community that we have built is incredible and supportive and wonderful 4) while i'm offering sterling right now, I have ten LGBTQIA+ artists who have handmade stuff for sale 5) BECKY.

So the Granville Island Watch Party is packed but elsewhere on the island are empty parking spots and no lines. Remind me how this is supposed to be bringing tourism and spending to businesses in Vancouver?

Note to self, stop wasting time on national arts survey webinar. All they ever say is: --self-identified arts lovers will say the arts are important to them --offer more free events to attract engagement (but no advice how to pay for them) --whatever question you have, they didn't survey that

Had to lie down to recover in the middle of installing a sheet of self-sticking wallpaper

Ok friends, today I got to unbox a very special item from @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social It’s long but it’s from the heart ♥️ (I bought it for my birthday which isn’t for another two weeks but seriously, do you think I was going to wait to open it?)

The Colombia fans are out tonight on Granville Island! Quite a fabulous party underway!

If the package slip I got today is what I think it is, tomorrow is going to be the unboxing video to end all unboxing videos.

Tonight Cat TV has Smellovision

Bathroom in progress! This is the one I use to get ready for burlesque shows so of course it needs some vintage charm

Living as I do between two high schools, I get to observe the latest in teen styles. Apparently this is the summer of short denim shorts worn with ankle-high crew socks and Birkenstocks

Yup, it's a two iced white tea-lemonades day

Just mailed a gift to the US for the first time in ages and wow, they’ve really turned that into quite an ordeal, complete with app download, photo access, and AI crap

This is a really fun thread to read with earbuds in so I can just bounce from song to song to song

Burlesque Hall of Fame Tournament of Tease

Happy Pride from my bisexual nails

Vancouver, we know what must be done

I don’t care about basketball particularly but I love New York and New Yorkers

Well the teenagers in my basement kids started screaming and I hear Sinatra playing so I take it the Knicks won?

I met my husband in 1993. We have been living together for going on 28 years. I only learned this week that he is a lifelong soccer fan And now he’s sending me updates from the PNE Amphitheatre watch parties where he is part of the tech crew KEEPING THE RELATIONSHIP FRESH!

Fellow @peculiarityshop.bsky.social goblins, check out the rings in the 4th picture here. Is @beckymew.bsky.social their supplier?

Good lord, 26 years ago today

Statement from The Art Directors Guild, IATSE Local 800 on Martin Scorsese’s recent promotion of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) The Art Directors Guild represents storyboard and concept artists in live-action film, series, and commercials

$45 to park at the PNE for the fan festival! You know, the free family-friendly event meant to provide affordable access to the World Cup for locals Encouraging transit and biking is awesome but not everyone has those options

Simone’s fixation on Cat TV pits me in mind of my mom trying to get us away from the Saturday morning cartoons back in the day

Oh wow, do read this post by Aji meditating on rain and storms and rainbows and weather and taking in the medicine when it comes to you, with a remarkable photo by Wings

This just made me massively homesick

This hits the nail on the head regarding how small businesses work, and the kind of patience and understanding customers must cultivate when you work with them. My business (theatre) doesn't ship, but we have similar pressures and limitations around staffing, purchasing, lines, etc. (1/2)

This is not the first time I have placed some very good salami and cheese in the refrigerator and had it disappear while not one resident of the house will cop to having eaten it

I have become a huge fan of Boiled Owl and their Canadian-made leather goods. Check out this incredible rainbow wallet!

Day 2 of improv was more challenging because we had to start putting things together but so fulfilling. And what a great way to meet new people in a city where it’s hard to get to know people. I really recommend trying it if you’re looking for that kind of experience

Discovered today that my friendly local crystal shop has tons and tons of well-priced sterling silver jewelry with gorgeous stones. So I managed to come home with a lovely pair of amethyst earrings for everyday wear and a heart-shaped tumbled moss agate on a cord

I just took a four-hour improv class and had the best time! Good thing it turns out I like improv, considering my career choice!

One of the great literary moments of all time

You know, I really need to schedule a vacation day for exactly this

Yeah was wondering when the VARA suit was coming. A travesty

Ah burlesque act creation. Where the song is both too long and too short, depending on the moment

Why oh why did I eat all of the strawberries last night?

Wonder of wonders! Miracle of miracles! I have just witnessed the power of the Sunshine Polishing Cloth with my very own hands

Yeah so this happened

uh oh, I might have just bought myself a Herkimer diamond wrapped in gold wire for my birthday

Pile a bunch of strawberries into a pyramid and they will come. --Notes from a career spent working on Granville Island

Loving my jewelry today—hamsa, coordinating beaded earrings from @beadworkbykay.bsky.social and delicious London blue topaz ring from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social
