It is covered, it is not spacious or fancy, but is very much a case of “location, location, location” cuz it’s *right* on the river. The building is an old grain elevator for loading barges.

As far as I’m concerned, City House has the best patio seating in the city.

Just get a BMX bike and do sick tricks on the way home.

(My knees disagree with this idea.)

Maybe it’s like the plague of frog in Exodus?

Moving is one of my least favorite things in the whole world, but that’s a tempting offer right there!

As others have pointed out, many, if not most, current phones are waterproof. One caveat is that if your phone has been serviced (new screen, battery, etc) then the waterproofing may be compromised.

And here I'd always heard it as "media men".

Can y’all please be on the lookout for my bike? Last seen in Elliot Park. It is a black Biria bike with red pedals and stickers of local news orgs on the bottom tube. It also has a Brooks saddle and adapters for Wolf Tooth pogies on the handlebars.

Biria bike with a sign that says “300 Campground”

Sussie Bird Necklace
Soft satin cord if chains are too much of an over-stimulation ♥

Photo of a polymer clay charm on a black satin necklace cord curled up partially. The charm is that of Sussie bird from K Pop Demon Hunters.

Pulled up at a stoplight behind a car that had my birthday on the license plate.

a picture of a double rainbow with the caption " sobbing what does this mean "

Alt: Double rainbow meme. Caption says, “[sobbing] What does this mean?”

Asparagus is the greenest-tasting vegetable.

Acorn squash tastes better, but butternut squash has a better texture.

Follow me for more scorching hot takes.

In the town where I grew up there is an establishment called Bub’s Brewery. Visitors/newcomers will say “Bubb’s”. But locals know it is pronounced “Boob’s”. You can tell how long someone has lived in the area by how much of a straight face they are able to keep.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Suddenly, I noticed a faint smell of tuna. I looked over at my office partner, Dr. Hunt. She was grinning by the machine she'd built.

"It works!"

"Nice," I said. "What is it?"

"What you smell is the ghost of tuna!"

I felt something brush against my leg. The office filled with ghostly purring.

I didn't know that outlaw country was a thing, but it sounds like a thing and now if "Cowboy" ever comes up, I'm just gonna be like, "Yeah, I think that's outlaw country."

On account of being a weird nerd, I can really only place music in context (genre or otherwise) when it comes to classical and, to a lesser extent, jazz and some kinds of trad/folk. Otherwise, I'm just like, "I dunno, it's pretty poppy, I guess?" so whatever you tell me, I'll just believe you.
