Blair Fornwald (they/she)

I would donate to a fund that provides nice blazers, haircuts and a decent photographer to NDP candidates for their campaign headshots.

I guess the Edwardians were less prudish about tiddies than we are in this current era, what a time to be alive

I bet they have a secret acronym for DOGE that’s like dudes obliterate government entirely or some shit

Time really flies when you’re not having fun too sometimes

Ewww yucky metric

It is small tho - both short and slim! I could see how the XL/rollerball might be more comfortable if you were doing a ton of writing.

Very nicely! I don’t need to apply much pressure to produce a smooth, solid line. Maybe a bit more pressure than i would with a gel or felt tip, but it writes nicer than those. I like the hexagonal barrel (it also doesn’t roll away on you!) and it has a satisfying weight and balance.

They’re so pretty!!

A very bright neon pink pen on a light wooden surface. It’s metal, not disposable. Nice pen.

Do you miss banality? Wanna hear about boring life goals? I decided to try being a reasonable pen guy. Got a nice Caran d’Ache pen, which seems like a good starter pen - it’s a nice bright colour so harder to lose, and $25 not $100 or more. It writes nice and no plastic. Wish me luck!

Petty! Good.

Awww happy birthday to a real one 🩷

The greatest recession, huge recession, biggest recession of all time. HUGE

I know Severance is dystopian sci-fi but imagine a lunchroom where nobody asked you how your weekend was, or if you had big plans for the weekend…kind of ideal, honestly.

Not telling Instagram I’m on a nice vacation only telling Bluesky is microdosing not telling anyone I’m on a nice vacation at all.

No way, that’s incredible ❤️

If I die with some money (?), let it be known that I’d like that money to support the research and production of funny art and exhibitions.

Dead Kennedys I think. Some Billy Bragg. I’d be remiss as a current Winnipegger if I didn’t say The Guess Who’s “American Woman”

I feel like if the playlist was meaningfully responding to current events I might like it more. (Or less plausibly, a great deal less)

I think it’s designed to be very welcoming to Canadians of a certain age…so maybe? Imagine a dancier cover of Copacabana, and then maybe some Santana…etc etc.

Blair and Kristin cuddling on beach loungers like cuties

Kristin Nelson looking like a smoke show on the beach - she’s wearing yellow sunnies and a teal one piece, laying on a red and white striped beach towel and giving a look that is very “you can’t sit with us.” Her silver hair is extra beachy wavy.

Blair at a tropical pool, wearing a colourful silk scarf over her hair, big mirrored sunglasses, and a pink and blue patchwork print dress. Behind her is very blue water and palm trees

Kristin Nelson really embodying “resort life” in a floppy blue sun hat, sunglasses, blue and white striped cotton robe, white beach shoes, and bathing suit. She’s eating an ice cream cone, and over one arm is slung a cotton blanket, and she carries an ecru beach bag with wooden handles. Very cute.

Celebrating day one of the trade war in Puerto Vallarta. It’s lovely, but why does nobody seem to mind that the resort playlist is five (5) songs long? People who can tune stuff out: what is that like???

What if it’s actually awesome that Bluesky is kinda boring?

Oooh close DMs is a wonderful feature. Handy! But I also wanna chat with weirdos of my choosing, sometimes more than one at a time…it would also be handy no?

The biggest pyramidal salt crystal I’ve ever seen, photographed on a wooden table with a fork behind it for scale. It’s probably a half a centimetre across, which is huge for a piece of salt. It’s like…the size of a chocolate chip.

blessing and purifying your feed with this enormous Maldon salt crystal 🙏

And deregulating food and drug administration isn’t gonna make them cheaper either.

@bsky.app can be my main social media squeeze once it can handle my group chats. I’d also love to edit posts, I never do anything right the first time.

‘Contempt is a dangerous way to lead a country’: here is the sermon that enraged Donald Trump | Mariann Edgar Budde This week, the bishop of Washington delivered a sermon in front of President Trump urging him to show mercy towards LGBTQ+ and migrant communities. The president condemned it as ‘nasty’. We reproduce it in full O God, you made us in your own image and…

‘Contempt is a dangerous way to lead a country’: here is the sermon that enraged Donald Trump | Mariann Edgar Budde

Oh noo! Sorry to hear that, buddy. We should yap on the phone this weekend maybe!

Like…what if we just cancelled all of our subscriptions and left all the platforms and bought albums and went to the cinema and read books and kept an address book and day planner? What if we just texted people and wrote them letters? What if we listened to the radio and got bored?

Spotify Hosts Trump Inauguration Brunch and Makes $150,000 Donation to Ceremony The company, which hosted Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, and others, called the event “business as usual”

Oh fuck off already. I just want to listen to my little playlists and watch my stories and yap and share memes with my pals without lining the worst people’s greasy pockets. What’s a guy to do? Scurry off to platforms owned by less egregious billionaires? Or just go without? Records and letters?

Ben and Jerry’s The Tonight Dough ice cream, rescued from the street.

Look what I found in the street! Still sealed! Nobody around to claim it. And it’s my low-key shameful favourite flavour - Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Dough - which I first bought as a bit of a lark but now get semi-regularly. Lucky meeeee
