Me: did you know that there is no one else like you in the whole world? there is only one you! 2yo: (wailing, gnashing teeth) I BE AWONE?

The summer of 2017, I went to Seattle for a conference. My colleagues were highly educated, civically engaged, and (except for me), American. It was smoky in Seattle, because forest fires do not respect borders, and the forests of BC were burning.

My library hold on "The River Has Roots" by Amal El-Mohtar came through yesterday afternoon, and I finished it today on my lunch break. The literary equivalent of a single delicious bite of pastry.

My youtube history is like: - yoga with adriene hips and lower back - yoga with adriene digestion - yoga with adriene joy - yoga with adriene existential crisis

We let this happen and now look at how the Americans are disrespecting us

some people do drugs, I occasionally find the perfect use for one of the million scraps of ribbon I have saved.

In the most recent episode of "If Books Could Kill," one of the hosts described it as "a shit-talkin podcast" and I realized that that is my favourite genre of podcast.

A page from "Clifford Goes to Hollywood" (1980, Norman Bridwell). Featuring the moment when Emily Elizabeth's parents experience the relief of no longer having to feed and care for a dog the size of their house.

Because I work in higher ed, I often think about future studies I could do. My least feasible idea is getting an English degree and writing a paper titled: "Do a thorough job: sweeping and mopping in the lyrics of the Mountain Goats"

All I saw was sandwich for at least 15 seconds

Love to be reminded that a word I think is normal is a quaint Manitoba thing (see also chesterfield)

@acarnall.bsky.social

scientists know more about the surface of the moon than the ocean floor. not me though, i know the same about both

I watch videos of the "curly girl" method, because I think the before pictures kind of look like my hair, but then the after pictures are always like "now I use a simple 16-step routine and my hair looks like THIS "and it's a woman who looks like she's wearing a judge's wig that has been dyed auburn

The Man with the Yellow Hat walked into an ice cream store, ordered a cone, and went off to "run some errands" - LEAVING HIS PET MONKEY IN THE ICE CREAM STORE. The man is clearly a menace to society.

Sometimes I shut down my computer, as a treat.

The concept of hotels and the concept of vacation rentals have been having a fight in my youtube ads for months and they really need to know I am not going anywhere and can all calm down.

spent several minutes wondering if the tub was taking longer to fill than usual, then realized I had left the drain open. Sorry, the environment.

making a grocery list with my heart (there are four types of bread on there so far).

Tonight we watched True Grit (1969), and the biggest surprises were 1. I laughed at quite a few of the jokes and 2. Mattie's fits were 🔥 🔥 🔥

Gosh, at this rate it'll take weeks to polish the whole planet.

Mario Party was released in 1998, which is incredible because it is an ostensibly fun experience with friends which enrages you and causes you to have more enemies, and Facebook and Twitter didn't start until way later.

The insolvency of Ricki's and Cleo has hit hard in the 35-40-year-old academic staff demographic.

Almost 5 years ago, I set myself a goal to write down all the songs I have memorized, in the hopes of getting to 100. Yesterday I wrote down my 100th song!

I don't care what you do to poutine. Go wild, experiment. But I just saw a video of a chef putting meringue on a butter tart and I feel this is some kind of national insult.

Tired: Ploughman's Lunch Wired: stealing food from Bilbo Baggins

can't wait to interact with my new follower, a random string of numbers with no avatar and no posts!

happy charcuterie week everyone

"Pippen the Christmas Pig" got me so effed up I got teary-eyed imagining describing the plot to my Mom.

Surprising news about the nature of the Berenstain Bears

one of my favorite Christmas traditions is making up the baking trays and discovering multiple types of goodies I had totally forgotten we'd made

Honestly,the moon is most gibbous thing there is.

Me: I’ll mark this message as unread so I don’t forget to reply later Me literally five minutes later: Oh I have a new message!

I see someone I know!

Listening to a conversation about the way people panic about terms like "pregnant person" or "birthing person." My experience (just 2.5 years ago) was that most often, the (many) medical professionals I dealt with defaulted to "Mom" when referring to me.
