Kind of a trail runner, mostly a dork - the great outdoors, cats, hockey, motorcycles, punk rock, aquariums, and smashing the patriarchy, fascism, and intolerance

Got absolutely wrecked - rainy morning, lost all 4 games, blew out my back and got mercied out of the last one in the 2nd half - but had such fun at the first Sticks & Steins ball hockey tournament at KW Oktoberfest with our Canadian Beer League family! 🏒

Wanted to give this little baby a tickle SO MUCH, but settled for just gently tipping the recycling bin so it could scamper off ❤️

In this case, yes - pepper balls are to be fired at hard surfaces, it's the contents of them that causes problems for anyone nearby. Shooting them at people (let alone pastors) is not their intended purpose and can cause serious injury

..so also my dumb ass may have ended up in an all-out 100 yard sprint against a bloody OHL hockey player after the game this evening. He just edged me out by the end, but I do have a couple of decades on him and had just played an 80min game so I'm not gonna beat myself up about losing 😅

Sometimes you've just gotta bop out at 6pm to drive an hour and a quarter to a rink so that the first session of your favourite hockey org's shinny in a new city gets to start off with two goalies - even managed to get leg day and a run in first, and made it home by 11pm! 🏒 Thanks London BLHP!

Had been in such a slump in net for months - was honestly starting to think about hanging up the pads. Played an open pickup game last night, though, and FINALLY had a decent showing! Kind of messed up my shoulder in the process, but still felt good to get to frustrate some shooters 🏒

I had seen a couple of berried females, but I thought they dropped their eggs...until I spotted this little shrimplet! It's impossibly small - like a tiny white eyelash - but my shrimp are finally starting to breed! 🦐

I don't know why Tillie likes to dig, but fortunately the neighbour (whose lawn it is) thinks it's as adorable as we do

We sure it wasn't actually Spring Energy that made these?

24c in late September? Don't mind if I do get my paddle wet..

A paddleboards's nose is drenched in golden sunlight the perfectly glass-like water of a river bordered by trees, with a rail trestle in the distance

The sun struggles to peek over a tree lined left shore of a mirror like river, the right shore bathed in sunshine

A woman in a blue bikini top and shorts stands on her paddleboard, looking back over her shoulder at the camera. She wears a peaked hat with an embroidered image of Mazinaw Rock and red-lensed sunglasses, the sun casting her shadow on the board floating on perfectly calm water

Not a ripple or cloud intrudes on a sunny downriver view of the Grand

You're just thinking of the table, darth - it's really very noble of you

Another cracker of a day at Monster of Mazinaw in stunning Bon Echo Provincial Park this past weekend. Yeah, I was DFL but I got some lovely photos and came in well under the cut-off #trailrunning #fallcolours #monsterofmazinaw #bonecho

Thin, wispy clouds in a blue sky are reflected by the calm, tree-lined water of Bon Echo Lake

Good morning from the first ray of sunshine over Mazinaw Rock

The sun peeks over a saddle of tree-covered rock on the far side of a windblown lake

But there are so many cats I don't follow so how am I supposed to see all the adorable floofs?

My husband and I are Canadian - he had never heard of Kirk before his death, when Canadian news radio basically said that a man who traveled around speaking about his faith had been killed speaking at a university. Made him sound like a religious leader, not a right wing youtuber spreading hate

It's the little tail hug that really makes it ❤️

Did @darthbluesky.bsky.social send this kitty?

Just look at her
