Between biking to work and back and then going to core & flow at hot yoga, I feel like I sweat out an entire second person today and now me and my sweat spawn are ready to kick everyone’s ass

Our neighbour is doing No Mow May, but I’m on my third mow this May and with each mow I encroach a little deeper into his lawn with my mower. I am The Lawn Bitch.

Here I am once again, watching Roland Garros and simply unable to stop myself from rooting for notorious anti-vaxxer and pal of RFK Jr., Novak Djokovic.

I love the Milkshake Man 😭😭😭
I’m 100% voting for Australia from Canada!

This is a true Canadian Classic

So many people went from never ever biking straight to e-bikes and haven’t bothered to learn a lick of bike lane etiquette. It sure does test my patience! Of which I have lots! But I grow weary…

I went on it 6 years ago and I’m STILL telling people facts I learned on that tour all the time 😅

Goose v Eagle, both fine feathered specimens

Both of these birds are majestic in their own right, and both far superior than any nation state. To assign either one as a symbol of a failing human construct is an affront to nature at large. Birds should rule over us!!!

A pancake-making machine!

Oh it’s pancake day - I don’t usually eat pancakes, but if I stay at a hotel and the breakfast buffet has one of these pancake machines, I will eat dozens upon dozens of them.

I did not grow up a Chris Benoit fan, but I think about the whole wiki-update-before-anyone-else-knew thing ALL THE TIME

I’m also 44 but have played enough minesweeper to count for several lifetimes, so don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

Very, very discouraging to see my employer give himself and his direct reports generous 21-29% raises while we little guys get our annual 0% raise. People in the office were already talking about ‘quiet quitting’ before this news came out - I’m sure a lot more will be considering it now.

The ice!! I made it to yoga this morning, but to get down my sloped, ice-covered street, I had to get into a deep squat, rest my mat on my lap, and push myself down with my hands. Here’s me:

I’ve been going to my chiropractor a minimum of once per month for the last four years 🫠

I’ve got a beautiful 2025 calendar at my desk called “Textiles of the Islamic World”. It’s from an Islamic publication, so it doesn’t list a single western holiday, but it does include dates of global importance like Shakira’s birthday and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s last game with the Lakers.

That was my second thought too! 😂

Vince Neil has done a lot of bad things and possibly even worse things that we don’t know about - but the way I googled so hard this morn to make sure he wasn’t on his crashed plane is a testament to how deeply Mötley Crüe is etched upon my soul

Annual Super Bowl text from mom. I’m assuming she means Eagles but there was really no context provided.

It’s funny to me when I get on the elevator at work, still wearing my bike helmet, and someone will ask me if I rode my bike to work

Finally, some positive news!

Between physiotherapy, shovelling the driveway, and power yoga, my injured shoulder has had a long, hard day and I wish I could just remove my arm and put it back on later. Like Astar, a robot.

Exactly!!

The tone is an insult to everyone’s intelligence. My household discussed the tone more than the actual content when we read it. Infuriating!

Thank you for following up on this and I hope you do hear from her! Please let her know lots of us support what she did.

Well, I guess I’ll root for the alleged doper over the alleged domestic abuser in this year’s Aussie Open men’s final and then just hope that someday I can root for someone non-problematic before I’m dead maybe

It’s not a suggestion, we can all plainly see it with our own two eyes. Doy.

Ah yes, Chalmers Doane, top left! He came up in conversation a weird amount over the course of my life - mom took ukelele lessons from him when she was young) - I’ve heard his name so much that I now call my cat “Chompers Doane” when she gets too bitey

A elderly customer put one of the teens in a headlock, but staff made him release him. It was pretty impressive for an old guy tbh

Just witnessed four masked teens rob the liquor store, which livened up my otherwise low-key Saturday. They got away with a bunch of bottles of Disaronno, so I imagine they’ll be enjoying some fine cocktails tonite.

That movie is an absolute treasure!
