I went to Firenze (Florence) and managed to track down 3 of 4 Ninja Turtles. (Mikey partially hidden by construction)
Bravo Outlook! You replaced the Calendar app button (literally the only thing I use other than Mail) with Copilot (the most useless thing imaginable)
I love how conservatives are always like “let’s remove ideology by implementing some ideology” What problem do they think they’re solving here?
I finally got around to making salt cod fish cakes. Not much to look at, but they were delicious!
Found this salt cod at Save On. My mom says she buys this one back home, which seems so weird to me. I mean, Gaspe was a cod-fishing town famous for its salt cod (“Gaspe Cure”). Our neighbour was a fisher, and I can remember the flakes in our yard some years.
We’re off to a holiday party this evening, and I’m bringing a sampler of my baked goods
Hey Krista (@kristadb1.bsky.social), I made some jam-jams from the recipe you sent! (Unfortunately ran out of jam after the first dozen 😊)
I first saw George Elliot Clarke speak at Laurentian U in 2002, where he said something that’s always stuck with me: “you can’t just read poetry in a boring monotone; you have sing it, preach it!” Seeing him at the Parkland Conference this weekend, I’m glad to see that his fire hasn’t diminished.
If you see this, quote skeet with a screenshot from a video game that released the year you were born
Oh shoot, I almost forgot -- today is Bilbo's and Frodo's birthdays! Happy Hobbit Day everyone!
@ivacheung.com I'm finally taking a Plain Language course and I came across a familiar name...
I wonder if this is what the old D&D rust monsters were based on (the look, I mean; not the creature itself) forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Rust_mo...
Okay, hear me out: a Lord of the Rings remake, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor
At long last, all of the Brother Cadfael books are mine! I suppose I should read them now… (I will also try not to think about the two of them from Mysterious Press, and so have the wrong covers…)
Picked some Saskatoon berries over the weekend (2kg just from what’s hanging over the fence!) Now waiting for it to cool…
We had “Pogo” as kids a few times — I did not know these were “corn dogs” until much later (pretty sure we just called them pogos)
About once per year, a pileated woodpecker tries to break into our bird feeder. About 6 feet behind it is a peanut feeder *specifically for woodpeckers* that it has yet to notice.
@mark-carney.bsky.social Just who tf do you think is causing that “instability” in the Middle East??
I was recently in Grenoble, France, and saw a bunch of interesting pro-Palestine graffiti, including on the side of the Bastille!
