I washed my pumpkins with vinegar and then powdered them with cayenne. So I've either prevented rot and deterred squirrels, or made a pretty delicious curry.

@joeldryden.bsky.social In my experience pre-clearance is good if you have a US layover. But for a direct flight, it's better *not* to have pre-clearance (ie. YTZ > YYZ for direct flights), because you don't know if the wait to clear will make you late.

It's a bit funny that "conservative voices" has just become synonymous with "losers lying". Like when a threatening letter arrives at Google saying "reinstate every law-breaking moron you banned for saying that masks cause autism" Google responded "we're sorry for censoring Conservative Thought"

Suddenly Alberta Conservatives can't figure out why books filled with explicit sex are banned ("not Atwood, waaaah" — when the theme of Handmaids Tale is rape). They won't say it out loud but it's clear they only intended to ban LGBTQ books. Cowards. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
