The recent cool factor and aesthetic appeal associated with sardines and hot dogs is a recession indicator. I’ve heard the idea that it’s the current counterpart to 2010’s moustache and bacon obsession, but it’s so clearly emblematic of struggle meals in a way that 🥸🥓 imagery wasn’t.

I unfortunately lived through the entirety of the 90’s

Ottawa-Carleton : Please go out and vote because this headline alone added 10 years to my life.

There is not one mention of LGBTQ2S+ in the Conservative Platform not one. Do a search, I did.

Diversity is not mentioned.

Inclusion is not mentioned.

Equality is not mentioned.

No funding for women's initiatives.

They lobotomized the wrong Kennedy, but it’s not too late. They can still do RFK

I once had the pleasure of throwing a copy of Donald Trump’s board game in the trash.

I’ve been riding that high since 2014.

(Who donates Trump the Game to a queer community center?!)

Although it was borderline traumatizing, I’m glad that I had the experience of being detained and bullied by US Customs and Border Protection back in 2013.

I’m sure it was merely a taste of what is happening now, but it’s a sour enough taste that I have no desire to try to visit the USA.

Be safe

Speakeasies but for democracy

This Best Western is selling single pizza pops out of the retail 4-pack like they’re loosies

Yes!! I got a beautiful bouquet on the 12th. We’ll go out for dinner next week.

As a winter hater, I do not like it. As someone with climate anxiety, the sense of normalcy this winter has been welcome.

I would pay actual money for a version of Reddit that allowed me to quietly edit people’s spelling mistakes

Niche Ottawa skeet here. Is Stephen Blais on this app? Can someone tell him that now that the 174 is once again a provincial highway, he has some illegal election signs up?

K thanks ✌️

Charli’s grammy performance was a high production value replica of an annual party I threw in Ottawa called the no pants dance party.

NPDP primarily took place during the indie sleaze era.

I’m feeling very nostalgic 😭 🩲 🎉

The White House is saying Canada misunderstood the tariffs as a trade war & it feels eerily similar to when men hit on women relentlessly- then act like they didn't mean it when women do not reciprocate. Huge "It was just a joke, it's not that serious" vibes. Canada did not misunderstand anything.

He is. He gets razzed for being a drama teacher like that wasn’t a huge asset to someone who has to give speeches

I need to know who wrote that speech. It’s one of the best ones to come out of Trudeau’s office

YouTube video by CBC News Trudeau: Canada will retaliate with 25% tariffs on $155B of U.S. goods

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

I’m really gonna miss orange juice.

I recently developed a minor obsession with the already expensive, fresh-squeezed OJ from Farm Boy. I can barely justify the cost now. With 25% tariffs on oranges, we’ll be drinking water around here.

Don't for one second believe that age brings wisdom. If you're not learning, self-assessing, thinking, questioning, examining your choices & their consequences, & changing as a result, then all age brings is more of the same. I've met some 25-yr-olds who are wiser than some 50-yr-olds. DO THE WORK.

This missing cat poster I saw on Reddit is a masterclass in effective visual communication. It’s simple, to the point, clear, emphatic in the right places, and the cat is adorable.

Noteworthy that they didn’t include non-Essential info.

I hope Zontar is found! #PEI

I refuse to give appliances the wifi password. Did I lose my roomba for 3 days when it got caught up in some floor laundry and I couldn’t find it? Yes. Will it ever have the opportunity to take me out? No.

It’s just not wise to empower self-propelling robots with access to the whole damn internet

Trees hate me but I love them so much!

The twig is comical after what happened at my old place 😅

A close up shot of a large twig impaling pale yellow house siding. The damage to the siding is visible from the angle, however the size of the twig is downplayed by this angle

Nature really said « fuck your siding »

A house with pale yellow siding that has large twig sticking out of it at a perpendicular angle. The twig impaled the siding in a wind storm

A massive tree limb is seen having broken through the roof and eaves of a house with white siding and charcoal shingles. The photo is taken from the perspective of the 3rd floor (top floor) patio

Damage to new house in wind storm 2025 vs damage to old triplex in wind storm 2022.

I hate that undocumented people are reduced to the service they provide for the economic ascension of white financial hegemony

Anyway… it’s very windy and I’m scared. Sorry if you’re expecting an email from me today, IT’S PROBABLY NOT COMING

Living with c-PTSD, I’m basically an open wound, vulnerable to being retraumatized by new scary situations or experiences of harm that I really should be able to cope with.

And I just think it’s absurd that I’m talking myself out of panicking because it’s windy, albeit extremely windy, outside
