the birders had to share one pair of binoculars so unfortunately not everyone got a tern

I'll take any notifications really, even the implied nonlikes from the negative space community

people just don’t ride at dawn like they used to

You know that pain when you accidentally crush your little toe into a table leg? Excruciating, even debilitating, right?.. but usually short-lived. Now expand that pain area to at least a third of your body, and at best, short-lived is weeks. Stabbing pain? I don't know, but I live here.

Being asked if our pain is cutting, scalding, tearing, drilling, burning, crushing, shocking, stabbing, etc... Like we all experience these types of injuries regularly enough to know how they feel.😬

Feeling energetic enough to consider going out and doing some things today. Not enough to actually do anything.. but consider it? Sure.

Ew, I think there's still some Monday on your shoe.

we can’t all be empaths some of us have to wield the blade

I keep forgetting how exhausting being awake is

I’m at an age where I can recognize when I’ve done something stupid, not before I actually do it, but no one’s perfect.

Circus music should play every time I try to do something gracefully.

Lisa: How did you decide on my name, Dad? Me: It’s an homage to The Simpsons Bort: I hate you Dad

Men would mock women's purses until they need ibuprofen, a pen, tissues, water, lip balm, sunscreen, Oreos, a hat, or that tiny shirt receipt from last month (you told them it wouldn’t fit btw).

Welcome to Bluesky, this is all you do now.

If at first you don’t succeed, pin all your hopes on the second kid.

I'll take one Dopamine please

Are we still calling music bangers, or did those pesky kids change it again?

On my birthday, I will count my blessings not the candles. No one wants to stand around all day waiting for a piece of cake.

I don't believe everything that I read on my phone these days, but according to this popup reminder, today is my birthday. Huh. 🤔

I drive in the sweet spot where I’m not really speeding, but if you pass me you sure as hell are

If you tell me you're getting into the shower... Do you want me to: 1- think about you sudsy, hot, and nude 2- know that you were smelly

Jesus take the wheel was not the right answer to any of those questions at the DMV

If you notice longer than usual periods when there are no posts from me, keep in mind that I am live posting the highlights of my life.

Arriving home, I see the cat through window, laying on the sofa, knowing it isn't allowed. Opening the door for the gotcha moment, I see her on the stairs, nowhere near the sofa.. Seemingly just now hearing me, she yawns and stetches, as if waking up from a great sleep. 🤔

"I'm into improv." You mean living? Ya, me too.

Who, exactly, are these immigrants that have made Danielle so angry? Filipino nurses who provide our healthcare? American computer scientists who make Edmonton an AI centre of excellence? Ukrainian refugees who've opened new restaurants? West Africans who have revitalized our francophone community?

"We're flirting with 37°C this week." Settle down people. That's way too hot for flirting. 🫠

If there’s a silver lining here…

Depressed and eating croutons in bed. I call it existential bread.

🤦🏻‍♀️

"This is the fun part! I'm flying!!" Bike Bus is the best way to get to school. Let's normalize this! #yycbike #bikebus @yycplan.bsky.social

"Why did you turn here? You said that we're going to the thrift store. "I meant a different one." I should have realized.

It’s fine Got plenty of ice We’re fine Air conditioning Relax *POWER OUTAGES* Burst into flames We’re fine

I love funny sarcasm and dry humor. I also love people who watch out for other people. That is most of this community and it's pretty special. Makes my heart happy in these heavy times.

You can't take it with you when you go, so leave no love left unspoken and no ice cream in the fridge.

You don't have to be an American to feel NOT OK As an empath, I struggle with the horror of what I see happening on the streets of your country by ICE It weighs heavily on my soul, & I hope beyond hope you can survive until your mid-terms. #AmericanPolitics #humanity 🫂 #ACanadianWhoCares

What a lot of people don’t realize about the revolutionary war is that if one side shot the other side’s drummer and flute player they were just completely fucked. Couldn’t dance, couldn’t sing along, couldn’t do shit. Totally joyless battlefield experience

Why do the characters in JAWS not simply defeat the shark in the marketplace of ideas?

my lazy eye has expanded to my entire being

It’s not until someone is cleaning around you that you know true guilt.

Good heat pumps can approach 400% efficiency these days and that's not a typo. They actually deliver more heating and cooling than energy input. That seems like it should violate laws of physics, but it doesn't because heat pumps *move* heat energy instead of creating it.

there will be blood — me, flossing

Her: "Would you like.. " Me: Yes Her ".. icecream?" Not exactly spidey sense,  but I had a feeling. 😋

Tylenol, Toradol and Hydromorphone. It may not be the breakfast of champions, but it's mine this morning.
