Canada’s jerseys look like they went through the wash with a wad of Kleenex.

Nice of my kid’s school to give us less than a weeks notice about a talent show that takes place mid-morning. Do they think no parents have jobs or other commitments?

Finally made contact with a human at a roofing company yesterday and they said someone would call me within 24 hours to schedule a visit (and he would mark it as urgent). That was 23.5 hours ago. Not feeling optimistic.

Nobody??

I’m in love with this yarn from Rosehaven Yarn Shop but I really don’t need anymore socks so who wants the next pair? Reply to this post and I’ll randomly pick someone tomorrow evening.

Can any local friends recommend good roofing repair businesses? Our roof started leaking in the rainstorm this morning and no one is returning our calls 😭

There’s no way you can predict the next word in this sentence.

I hate people. My kid forgot her owala water bottle at the playground after school yesterday. I just went to look for it and someone had taken the metal container that she had lovingly decorated and smashed the plastic top.

I'm excited to announce that today we have filed to take Magic Beans, Inc. public. This is an important milestone for our team, our investors, and our customers. We expect to list in the coming weeks, hopefully before the general public discovers the Terrible True Cost of our beans.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

One of our dogs is a volunteer therapy dog who has been assessed as safe to work with kids and does so regularly. The assessor stressed to us that ALL dogs -- even those with the most placid temperaments -- are capable of aggression. Off-leash dogs are a danger in the community.

lol at this guy literally posting on Bluesky about the real problem with bsky being people wanting to be in a bubble and limiting replies. Complete lack of self awareness.

Imagine being a back-up singer or dancer for a trio of chipmunks.

Omg listening to Why Won’t You Date Me and realized I know the author of the Heated Rivalry books. Many years ago we worked together at a coffee shop. So awesome to see her having such success!

This is your periodic reminder that people assigned female at birth don't suffer the 'typical' symptoms of a heart attack. I had pain behind my sternum & both arms went tingly (not numb). Both symptoms went away within ~15 seconds and I asked myself 'did I have a heart attack?' but dismissed it. 💔
