I know what it looks like but I swear police officer, I swear! I was just making blackberry jelly!
Hey east coast people. A seasoned west coast forest fire smoke asthma sufferer here to tell you of all the super fancy professional grade air purifiers on the market, the box fan + merv 13 filter works INSANELY well. it moves a huge amount of air through it, measured improvement with aq monitor
There must be a millennial aged dad is in charge of marketing at return it. Kudos Dad, i snortled. (to get it you must know what they call the style of carton milk comes in, this is very niche humour)
We’ve had this mini fridge for 5 years. Just defrosting it, like I do every summer. Took a second to read the label. Well that’s an odd thing to put on the fridge it should go on top of the plastic so you know you’ve removed it. Oh.
Recycling the last instalment of our “school cellphone ban survival pack” of printouts of fan fiction. I don’t know if I’m parenting this generation correctly or just teaching them how to skirt rules.
Today is our 21st wedding anniversary. I can also inform you that today is FREE SLURPEE DAY. And we were broke-a$$ poor having just finished university when we got married. No alcohol because my family has addicts. No honeymoon. We have always celebrated with free slurpees. Our kids do too.
Hey kiddo what was in this bag I found under your bed? 15yo: crack Me flips package over Ok yeah that tracks.
@bsky.app FEATURE REQUEST: can you automatically include a source attribution when an image is saved on your platform… like Reddit does? That way we don’t lose the source when saving art/photos are posted that are unsigned in the image
If you have a friend grieving a profound loss (child, sibling, close and unexpected) this is what you do. Everyone around me was struggling in the Covid era (in other words getting divorced), I did not have this and I really could have used it. From: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/a...
I have to stop reading news1130. Before twitter, back when Facebook was brand new, I moved to NZ and this was the best really local Vancouver news I could find. It’s been in my daily rounds ever since. But this headline feels like it was written by AI. CBC, that’s all I’ve got left!
If you are restocking your earthquake kit, my uncle has volunteered in many countries, the # 1 forgotten thing and in demand during earthquake recovery: pads & tampons Often left off kit lists. Very versatile for as first aid products. Even if no menstruating ppl are in your life. Pls pack ‘em
Kone is here in a wheelchair, the first of many standing ovations for him #CANMNT
We made this happen :) For Kone #canmnt @thevoyageurs.bsky.social
FOR KONE #CANMNT My teen got up at 7am just to come sign this with @thevoyageurs.bsky.social …on summer vacation
You better believe women next time you play a world in Vancouver, you are getting this grass #CANWNT
That was AMAZING! Definitely (and annoyingly) worth a couple hundred for a seat at that match. And everyone helping families get photos despite being in opposite jerseys 🥰 And BC Place, you shine. There is not a bad seat in this place. 🇹🇷 ⚽️ 🇦🇺
Not gonna lie. Still a bit salty the WOMENS World Cup in Vancouver asked for and DID NOT get grass
THIS is a turkey home game (apparently) BC Place you are GORGEOUS
Back when we had a balcony, this was my pride and joy :) I used to fill the bin with my kids bath water. Moths tho, they are our broccoli. Would gladly trade the moths to the slugs and squirrels that eat everything of mine now.
I really like the mosaic maple leaf, can that icon belong to Canada and not FIFA?
What does your dining table look like at this point in the school year? Can you guess what final exam was today?
Let’s show some love for @fubo-tv.bsky.social for making this really easy to find.
