Life is a bike path, and I want to ride it all day long. It's kind of what I do already. https://youtube.com/@kevinsbikingadventures278?si=OCjfxi6zls-JRIa4

One problem I see here is not only the infrastructure but the culture. Since the 1950s, the car culture has been about ample parking, drive-ins, and drive-thrus. Then add in that some people can't fathom going a few blocks without being tied to their big metal cage.

I, too, choose to use my car as a last resort. Normally, walking is my first choice, but I usually have to travel large distances, so I use my ebike. It helps that I don't have much of a life outside work and home and don't have kids, though.

A few weeks ago, I was in my hometown for a friend's funeral. This song came on my drive back home, and I broke out crying for the following reasons: my friend loved musical theatre, she was obsessed with social justice, and I realized that life must go on. πŸ₯Ί

I was feeling nostalgic today, so I watched old episodes of Iron Chef. I've always been amazed at what they can accomplish in 1 hour with a surprise ingredient.

I know that I'd only have like 40 mins because I'd be Googling what to do and trying to find the right podcast for the first 20 mins. πŸ˜…

...so I had to reveal him to everyone since I didn't want to keep that relationship a secret anymore. So, I had to come out a second time, which caused me a lot of anxiety. But after a few turbulent years, everyone is now super cool and chill and probably loves my husband more than me. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

When I was 16, my parents found private messages about my feelings, and they sent me to church for some of that "pray the gay away." Then five years later after being a self-loathing evangelical, after a pitcher of beer I said "fuck it" and made out with a random man. Then I met my now husband...

As someone with an interest in renewable energy, I'm quite intrigued! 😍

Me in my office looking out the window at the parking lot: "who does that old rusty car with a bunch of junk in it belong to?" The answer is me. I'm the one who has the rusty old car full of junk. πŸ˜…πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Post you from a different era.

May I present to you, my school locker in grade 12. I curse whoever took this photo and didn't know how to properly focus!

Sometimes I wish I can mute my own husband when he's telling me the latest about what's going on there. πŸ₯΄

Last winter, I started a hockey training program with the queer league in Ottawa. Unfortunately, after 1 session, I fell off a bike and broke my shoulder.

I'm going to try it out again tomorrow! I made sure that I had all of my equipment. But holy hell, it was hot in this unusual fall heatwave!

I guess the opposite of that is to find peaceful means to feel powerful. For me, it's my ability to retain a lot of knowledge, being able to zoom through the city on a bike (I also don't need a fancy car), or be the master of any kitchen. Video games help too! πŸ˜€

When I was in grade 12, I had a Sony Cybershot. I had a lot of fun taking random photos all the time.

It's actually a nice collection of photos I have from those days, especially when a friend passes away.

I took my bike out at my favourite local beach today, and I actually tried out the time-lapse function on my GoPro while stationary, using my bike as a stand. I love how it turned out! πŸ˜€

Honestly, I didn't know there was one. I found out about it through someone who doesn't care either way, which is exactly how I feel. πŸ˜†

And it makes me feel as if I'm not as terminally online as I thought I was.

But seriously people, get a fucking life!

People who aren't political have the privilege to not be affected by policy until it affects them. Then they'll blame the scapegoat being conveniently pointed at them.

I tend to overshare too much about myself, which is probably why I avoid any social interaction at work. πŸ€”

This reminds me of those memes about how two men hating Trump somehow makes them gay, as if it's a bad thing. My favourite is seeing them sipping sparkling wine in a hot tub, again, as if it's a bad thing.

So yes, I do enjoy the company of a man, who likes nice things, and gossip with! πŸ˜€

The worst I've done asleep with my phone was growl at my husband while clutching it in my hands, while he was trying to put it aside after falling asleep watching porn. πŸ˜…

Good for you! I did grades 7 to 12 at Catholic school, but I couldn't be bothered to retain any of the catechism there. I also went to Catholic and Baptist churches for most of my childhood and couldn't even retain sermons or Sunday school. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Here is a nice "then and now" that popped up. The old photo of me dancing was taken by a friend who passed on recently. She especially loved the style red shoes I was wearing.

The other photo was taken last Sunday after her celebration of life. I wore the style of shoes she loved. ❀️

I used to snack on salami when I was making dinner. But it was keeping me awake, and then there's the while saturated fats and cancer that come with it.

I almost never eat it anymore and I miss it! 😭
