I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Also am mildly irritated that I cannot find exactly the pattern I want and I am not in the mood to Frankenstein it and I’m going to have to Frankenstein it aren’t I.

Thing I have learned about myself this week: I loath knitting cables in sock yarn. Well, that’s good to know. Time to start over for the third effing time.

Watching the Doctor Who episode “The Fires of Pompeii” in anticipation of visiting Pompeii in a couple weeks.

This is research right?

Creative expression is the essence of the human experience. Try making a new dish, or stabbing an ai slopper with a wooden stake.

DoorDash in my 20s would have been really bad for me, she says sitting in bed at 10:30pm scarfing back nuggies.

Dan was teasing me and made me laugh uncontrollably while I have a cold which then made me cough uncontrollably which hurt a LOT and now everything hurts and long story short my spouse is mean.

Funny, but mean.

This is actually good, it’s rare that a plague lasts more than a week for me, so I’ll be in tip top shape by next Friday!

Good news, no spitting required, I’m sick. Ugh.

Spouse has a full on man cold.

I have a flight to Barcelona in 9 days.

Do I try to avoid him so I don’t get sick or do I get him to just spit in my eye so I can get his cold and get over it Right Fucking Now?

Related to my last post: I’m going vacation in a week and a half and I haven’t started planning my travel knitting projects. Who even am I? And will I finally finish my cruise shawl?

A person riding a bicycle holding a stick. They jam the stick labelled "0% Property Tax Increase" in the front wheel, then are lying on the ground in pain saying "Our aging public pools are falling apart and we don't have budget to replace them"

I will also note that the mayor is also putting out incorrect information over his own motion.

We’ll see what the proposed budget looks like in a month or two, what the discussion is like, and when the actual vote is scheduled.

BC residents: If you still have your booking link from last year, try and book your flu and COVID shots now. (Last year they didn’t send me a link until October 28!)

I kept getting an ‘error – time no longer available' message, but reopening the booking site did the trick.

Hmm, wonder if my employer would be annoyed if I brought a humidifier to work? I’d love to see one battle it out with the industrial hvac system.

Leaving work late after talking with some coworkers who talk as fast as I do, so conveniently we were able to fit an hours conversation into half an hour.

Remember, 5.3 people are killed every day by motor vehicles in Canada. There aren’t widespread movements to put speed limiters on motor vehicles.

Just some context that any #ebike news story should have when advocates against ebikes are interviewed.
