Happy Valentines Day! 💘

This is for people who need honesty:

Do you want to help but don't know how? Have you not volunteered since community service was required in high school but want to? Do you desperately want to do something but the idea of giving up your only free time is a big hurdle?

I got you.

To be clear that made it even more wtf.

Right?

And then I learned about background stuff on Tumblr.

Knowing that rural communities tend to be more conservative, I’m surprised and humbled by the responses from Tumbler Ridge residents.

There is so much grace, and no one has publicly blamed anything but mental health and lack of resources.

Oh they call it that in metric country broadcasts too.

While I don't have ME, my endometriosis currently has me going into an inflammation spiral if I do anything that aggravates my core muscles too much, and I can tell you that generally we are already trying to do as much as we possibly can because daytime lying and bed rest are fucking boring.

(I'm not even that extremely Canadian! I wear three sweaters normally! I wear leggings under my skirt in -5! I hate being cold!! And yet I will NOT wear a winter jacket to shovel snow because it will be a SAUNA under that.)

Any Canadian who has shovelled snow knows that you get HOT doing that, like at 0C I'm not even gonna bother wearing a coat. I'll probably get down to one sweater, or maybe even my tshirt after 10 minutes.

Why is homeboy wearing A PARKA??

Marge stops to chat with a guy shovelling his driveway, it's like mostly shovelled, and you can also see liquid water in the frame, so it's clearly above freezing.

The guy is wearing a giant parka.

Chopping ice off my sidewalk and thinking about that one scene in Fargo (1996) that drives me nuts.

yea i work out. im trying to work out how i can own a home in this economy.

😂

Yes.

hear me out:

Autumn Olympics (centered on sedate indoor sports: darts, bowling, chess, pool/snooker/billiards)

Spring Olympics (centered on children's playground sports: hopscotch, tag, dodgeball, four square, jumprope)

Generally on books it goes on the back cover (or the inside dustjacket for hardback).

Me. (I was homeschooled.)

Hey fellow MCAS peeps, does iron deficiency give us any symptoms that are different to the usual iron deficiency symptoms in non-chronically ill people? (Y'know, the symptoms in all the listicles on iron deficiency.)

Saw 3 Northern Flickers and one Downy Woodpecker in two neighbouring trees and I think that's the highest concentration of woodpecker per cubic metre I've ever seen in my life.

One of my costume professors was a designer for the Calgary Stampede shows and had wacky and WILD stories about the kind of costumes they had to make, I NEED DETAILS ABOUT THE SUPERBOWL GRASS COSTUMES PLEAAAASSEEE.

So many news stories about what it was like being a Bush Person for the SuperBowl, NO INTERVIEWS WITH THE COSTUMERS. I want to hear from the people who made the things!!!!

(If you've seen anything send it to me please!!)

But y'know. "Everything Wrong with Bridgerton's Costumes" makes great YouTube headlines so now we get yet another round of this. 🙄

Being a costumer trained for film but hanging out in historical costume spaces means getting perpetually doomed to listen to people complain about historical accuracy when the actual filmmakers DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT because they're trying to do something else.

Pet peeve: People who are still complaining that Bridgerton isn't historically accurate.

We've had four seasons of this. How have you not figured out that this is Regency AU FANTASY at this point.

Same.

YIKES

You Must Leave This Party Engaged says 10, for a one-shot.

As an Aussie, 100% yes.

I watched this last week and did not expect to be utterly absorbed by a 1 hour infodump on solar panels but I was. Extremely worth it.

Ooof.
