I'm coveting this gin and tonic calendar - 12 tiny gin varieties and 12 tiny tonic varieties! Sadly I don't think I can get it in Canada. www.johnlewis.com/fever-tree-t...

I was admiring that one as well!

Yesssssss

Going to my first holiday craft market of the season. Yes, it's only early November. Yes, when I saw this one advertised I did say ack that's way too soon. Yes, I'm going anyway.

Let's keep it up

I tried to fill out the AI survey from the government and all the questions were written in such a way that it was kind of impossible to say no I don't want it.

I'm so disturbed by how much AI was pushed in this budget.

Boy this budget is pretty depressing.

Little things become symbols. And symbols are what stick with people.

This budget is full of very very dumb symbols.

That looks like a cat demanding pets. I should know. 😂

We had to spread them out because it turns out our tastes run in pairs, so some of the lists were quite similar 😂

We did that at my library - each of our selectors (and me, I got to sneak in there as the department head) created a list of personal picks and we spread them out over a few months. We called them "Meet the Team".

Fully half my Instagram feed is visiting Japan right now. I keep expecting to see them in the background of each other's photos by coincidence.

Interesting! I'm out of the Halloween loop 😂

I blame my mom, she used to tell me any vegetables that were left would be sad without their friends who were already in my belly. (It worked.)

I'm seeing a large amount of costumes and talk of trick-or-treating on here. Did I lose a week somewhere?

I was Kiefer Sutherland all the way. The rest of the cast could have just not existed. 😂

Forget the leaves changing colour, today a regular bus rider is wearing a hoodie over his T-shirt for the first time this year, so fall has arrived.

It's bonkers to me that, after having not driven for 10 years but with a valid license, I could just..get in a car and drive away?? Regular testing makes perfect sense.

Faked an answer about baseball today to be polite to a work vendor and it turned into about half our meeting. Did not realize how badly that would backfire. Had no idea it was a time when people had so many baseball feelings. I am full of regrets.

When I was in England in the spring i got a piece of carrot cake in a coffee shop and they asked if I wanted custard with it! Not something I'd encountered before. I said yes, because why not, and it came with a tiny pot of warm custard to pour on the cake.

Looked away from my computer for 2 minutes and then legit had to trace back my thought process 6 steps as to why I had a specific page open.

Oh no, I've tipped over into "too tired to get up and brush my teeth etc so I can properly go to bed" but also "too tired to focus my eyes on my book or my phone" so I sit here in a lump, staring at nothing.

there should be dessert trucks that just prowl the neighborhoods in the evening hours, playing light jazz and offering an array of pies and tiramisus for a reasonable price

Ooh, name. 99% of the time it ends up too close to another display name and then I think they're the same person and my world view is thrown.

My goal in life is to avoid using OneDrive for as long as I possibly can. Every once in a while it comes up at work as this thing we're going to move to and I mentally run screaming.

Thinking of adding a new category to my email. "To review", "waiting for answer", and "to do" will be joined by "to do someday. maybe"

A black-and-white photograph depicting a rural village with a row of modest houses on a hillside. In the foreground, there is a dirt road bordered by rocks and sparse vegetation. A tall utility pole stands on the left side, with power lines stretching across the scene. The houses appear weathered, and the landscape is dotted with small sheds and overgrown grass, suggesting a remote or older settlement.

For 150 years, Africville, sitting right next to Halifax, was a thriving Black Canadian community.
Halifax refused to provide city services, and eventually forced residents to move as they bulldozed their homes.
This is the story of that community.
