A coworker said,”I mean this as a compliment but you have one of the most intimidating faces I’ve ever seen.” I dined on that compliment for months. Hell it’s been years.

half-aspirational @ohtazer.goblinmo.de · Nov 8

bringing over a question i asked twitter years ago that felt like such a healthy and affirming exercise, and netted me some great friends:

what's your favorite compliment you have ever received?

same answer then and now: that i carry myself with genuine integrity 😭 i felt so seen!!

I didn’t even know this website existed, but I will definitely be checking this on the regular!! I didn’t even realize there was an issue in the city. I remember being shocked about Tres Carnales but never really looked into it

What in the bloody hell is with all the cockroach infestations? TWO YEARS between visits w/multiple visits where there are roaches & no notice posted/not closed down? No public notice. This is beyond wild. Edmonton has (or maybe now it is HAD) a great restaurant scene. I never want to eat out again

Edmonton Journal @edmontonjournal.com · 10h

According to the data obtained and analyzed during this investigation, more than 250 food establishments across Edmonton went at least two years without seeing an inspector.

I do love big Papi and how much he loves gloating when Yankees lose - rivalries never die! lol

Yankees using AI to try and glean an advantage on tipping pitches etc is such a thing for the Evil Empire. If you're tipping and you catch it in the moment or from video with your own eyes (all staff), good for that player. But using AI? Fuck that shit. Lock it down, Blue Jays.

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 23h

Why am I more nervous to watch on tv than be there in person? Of course it's a possible clinching night but you don't want to get this team's offence going much more. Lock it down #BLUEJAYS #WANTITALL

I don't see that broadcast very often and they all seem awkward. lol

Yeah I never did the underage thing. Only like once or twice.

And I hated milk products in my drinks so never got into White Russians or paralyzers etc.

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 1d

I was wondering why I felt really on edge. Oh it's game day plus so I need a good #BlueJays victory please.

1000% about Yanks/Sox. It's almost all they can talk about.

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 1d

Ah makes sense. I've only been watching for about hour an hour. Lots of time to 'kill'

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 1d

Why are they so bad? I thought it was just me since I dont' watch this broadcast much. Eek!

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 1d

I found some old turkey bones in the freezer so am making turkey soup before thanksgiving and more turkey bones! lol

They did worse than just vote for it. They stumped for him. They platformed for him and smugly, and apparently thoughtlessly, assumed that the campaign of "MASS DEPORTATION NOW" signs would somehow be all talk and ignored the sneering ethnic cleansing rhetoric.

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

Oh he's not horrible but he raged about the run differential a lot earlier in season. Fair game. Plus, just having a bit of fun!

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 2d

And yes my work was good to offer to reimburse the fee BUT in addition to providing the receipt, I also had to get a prescription from my doctor and submit that. So wasting my doc's time, paying up front, and then making the HR team refund me with more unnecessary admin work. Bureaucracy baby!

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 2d

Absolutely. Just the worst of the worst in government!

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 2d

All of #MLB is doing this shit. My refunded wild card games for Blue Jays will take up to 30 days to refund. What is this crapola?

Woo @wooooothereds.bsky.social · 2d

Check out this anti-consumer bullshit. @reds.com and @mlb.com need to do better. I have to jump through hoops to get MY money back because I dared to hope they could host a playoff game.

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 2d

For some reason, Ontario cancelled my covid shot so I rebooked for Manitoba and got it for free today along with flu shot (FU Alberta - my work was covering cost so was lucky if I had to get it there. But couldn't get it until end of month. Why?). A little moderna to get me through the winter!

Only two years? Ugh: Well, this is a ‘win me a cup or I’m gone’ type of contract. Pressure on management to surround him with good prices. Get a f’in goalie asap!

I got back to hotel just in time to watch our movie and yes it was silly and charming and stupid and fun!

MacGruboooooo @loxy.bsky.social · 2d

Just finished the 1993 movie My Boyfriend's Back with our Sunday movie club. And you know what? In spite of its 13% RT score, it was fun. It was dumb and weird and kind of charming.
