Whatever sound those knife sharpening trucks play might be viewed as less creepy tho? Or maybe not on second thought

@pjpartington.bsky.social feel like this might be up your alley, but maybe not. This is how I discovered Canadian staple The Weakerthans decades before making the move to this wonderful country

Ordering package of 50 plastic whistles cause everyone has kids in the 3 to 8 range now and they can’t go home empty handed

Not owning a vehicle is the main thing that allowed me to save enough to own my own home in Toronto

Arrest the vehicle
