Your good new story for the day. I just received a message from a landlord in Florida. He has lost over $30,000 in rentals since Canadians began the boycott. Canadians are doing their part. LET'S TAKE THE BOYCOTT INTERNATIONAL. We invite allied nations to boycott all things American.

I know everyone’s blood is up on this side of the border so in honour of our home on native land 🇨🇦, let us celebrate a very fine Canadian in a puffy shirt (and yes, not super puffy but I’m giving it a pass). #Longlivethepuffyshirt

A reminder that puffy shirts are for everyone, so kudos to Kiera Knightly for rocking this most puffy of shirts. #Longlivethepuffyshirt

Thanks to @beentsy.bsky.social ntsy.bsky.social for alerting me to this little number, which is Oscar Isaac blessing us not only with a puffy shirt but extra points for the rolled sleeves combo. This almost makes up for the fact it's not Friday yet. #Longlifethepuffyshirt #puffyshirt

I have my newsletter ready to go, and after a crappy day I have settled on tea instead of a sherry (because we were out but still, there is gin in the house), so I’m congratulating myself on my good choices with Bridgerton puffy post. #Longlivethepuffyshirt

I'm reading this series now and they are like chocolate chip cookies, if not better - warm, oozy feel good stuff that are compulsively good...and yet calorie free. #historicalromance

So bluesky, I've been doing cocktail hour with my best friend since April 2020 (known as #covidcocktailhour). It's still going, but this is my first time posting here. This is an earl grey martini, made with gin from Alberta and a Nova Scotia tea blend, and a little aquafaba #cocktailhour
