This is a good way to instantly regret telling me I was being too quiet

introverts aren't supposed to share this little secret, but the best way to get us to open up is to aggressively point out how quiet we're being in public

LFG Monday.

Oh it’s definitely tongue-in-cheek. The only part of me that insists I’m old as dirt is my back (on occasion).

I don’t really do “meant to be”s tbh, but it was nice that they were still there. I definitely am not afraid to use them!

If you see this, QRT with a game that released the year you were born

I’m old as shit

Halloween is near! It's time to post this marvellous articulated Roman skeleton, presumably meant to be a reminder to enjoy life to the fullest, since pleasure ends irrevocably with death.
In Petronius’ Satyricon, the host of a dinner party brings out a small skeleton with moveable...🧵1/2

It won’t confuse them for long, but it definitely changes the way things look. A colourful parade of animal costumes is not threatening to look at on the news. Makes it hard to sell a narrative.

Might be my last year taking the kiddo around for candy, unless her and her friends all decided to go by themselves, together.

I’d hesitate to call it a profession, but:

“Nothing but Christmas Trees”

ProbablyGeeky @probablygeeky.bsky.social · 1d

And we’re a bit more low-key about it in Canada. We see family, cook a Turkey etc but I think Christmas is the bigger holiday

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

It's Happy Thanksgiving here in Canada! Here's a collection of photos of Wild Turkeys taken in my backyard. #Thanksgiving #Ancaster #HamOnt #turkey

I’ve never dropped an entire jug of milk before. The contrast between it and the floor was interesting. 😂

Exactly my reasoning. In addition to incorrect quotes, they’re not even very good copies of Tenniel-style art, but I was still drawn in by them and finally when they hit 50% off I was like “If they’re still there when I come back next, I’ll get them.” They make very good breakfast plates.
