You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:

GO needs to decide if the 88 is a regional line to connect the area between Peterborough and Oshawa, or a really shitty local bus for Bowmanville. (Hint: "really shitty local bus for Bowmanville" is the wrong choice, but also the choice they seem to be making)

tfw you get excited because the GO transit website says there's a new 88 bus schedule starting Dec 20, but then you check the new schedule and what's different is there's no longer express runs on Friday

For the time being I’m going to see how I can get by without a streaming service… but I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m back in the market for one pretty soon lol

It's pretty rad that you have to click four different "cancel" buttons to actually cancel a spotify subscription

"schedule send" is great because I get to go from someone who sends work emails in the evening (dingdong who has poor boundaries and expects the same of others) to someone who sends work emails first thing in the morning (competent administrator who respects others' ability to manage their own time)

I hear that saying it with confidence and personal conviction doesn’t make it true.

I’ve been confused for a while as to why you can’t buy digital-only music on the iOS Bandcamp app - that’s gotta be some Apple anticompetitive BS, right?

I looked at the photo before the rest of the post and immediately thought β€œI gotta make a Manhunter reference”… so I guess my work here is done.

When You Asked Me If I Still Think Of You

Here is the herringbone of loss. The exoskeleton of a love fossilised by grief. I still say your name even if it crumbles in my mouth like the wreckage of a ship left alone to the elements. What do I do with this sea of language you have left within me. Who can I tell about it when all the vowels are you. In the panic of this forgetting is a memory fading into shadow and light. How do I forget the shape of your heart now that I know its vocabulary. The truth then: we turn our hearts into museums of the people that we love to keep them alive inside us.

my favourite part of the budget is learning anew the extent to which a majority of our council does not inhabit the same reality as me

this is a friendly reminder that everyone who (for some reason) hasn't already done so needs to nuke their Twitter account, right fucking now.

The YouTube algo offered me up a video about how flashy colours are one of the ways devices suck you in, arguing we should set our phones and computers to grayscale mode - and let the real world be the colourful one.

Not sure I buy the argument but I am trying it on my phone and tbh it kinda rules.
