I know he’s (Patrick) dead and I’m going to spend the rest of the night off social media because I don’t want to process it tonight.

It’s been weird at this stage of life to find out which members of my friend group are *really* into the Hellraiser universe.

Decided to go as The Dude from The Big Lebowski for Halloween and now I’m scrolling through pages of men’s bathrobes muttering “it really ties the costume together.”

They opened a restaurant in Montreal called Dorsia, and now I can’t stop making American Psycho jokes. Are you an aspiring Paul Allen? Get us a reservation!

Patrick Bateman American Psycho

Alt: Patrick Bateman (played by Christian Bale), wears a disposable rain coat and wields an axe. He uses the axe to hack something off-screen and is sprayed with blood once the axe lands. This is a scene from American Psycho.

Happy weekend everyone! Be sure to bend down if you still see flowers this time of year 🌸

I generally don’t listen to punk released after the 90s (a serious blindspot, I know), but I’ve been really intrigued by some of the stuff coming out of Britain and Australia lately.

"AI is the only ethical porn." Um, just how do you think the AI was trained? It's all theft. That's not 'guilt-free'... that's WORSE. And it's not 'real' sex, so it's allowed on social. In app stores. Sex workers get fucked while tech bros make cash. Anything to avoid paying women, I guess?

1) Story time: When I was a pastry cook, I worked with a guy who used host a show at a popular Calgary indie radio station before working kitchens. I had a classic ipod back then, full of whatever I could download and rips of my entire CD collection. As a young punk, I really wanted to impress him.

Chers Montréalais, In your opinion, what are the most overrated Montreal tourist stops? I’ll go first: Schwartz’s and Le Banquise.

Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

Being GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.

Turns out I can’t watch YouTube play-throughs of the new Hell Raiser game on account of them getting immediately banned for gore. Do I know any passionate gamer providers in Montreal who will let me watch them play it? 🥺

Sometimes you come up with an amazing costume idea, but lack the time or skills to make it a reality for the coming Halloween!

first time seeing sneakers at a senate debate

One time I was on a date with an American guy who said that the Tragically Hip would have been a better band without Gord Downie’s singing and I nearly stabbed him with a fork.

a cool thing you can do when you see something online is be like ah ok then go and do something else

Did anyone watch Practical Magic 2? I was really annoyed that they made it all, but I haven’t bothered to verify if it was bad…

One of my favourite contemporary artists is having a solo show and I again find myself annoyed that I don’t have an extra $7k laying around to buy art.

we fucked up bigtime when the internet slipped from the utopian promise of being able to connect with ANYone into the hellscape of being connected to EVERYone

There’s this stretch of Blvd Saint Joseph Ouest that I love driving by at night. The windows and French doors on the buildings are glorious.

Holy cow you guys! I forgot how good Poe’s album “Hello” is! 😭 I might be back on another 90’s kick

Hope you all have a nice day ❣️

I’m so heartbroken to see that people are posting reels on instagram explaining the health-consequences of their EDs to dissuade others from beginning one. The fat-phobia that I grew up with was so damaging. It’s hard to see it come back.

I've probably put in 100 library requests over the past year, and they're almost always approved. It's an easy way to help authors (and also an easy way to support your library)

Also worth noting that like, three people requesting something at a library will get a library to buy it. And it doesn't take many holds to make it "we should buy more copies."
