The recent cool factor and aesthetic appeal associated with sardines and hot dogs is a recession indicator. I’ve heard the idea that it’s the current counterpart to 2010’s moustache and bacon obsession, but it’s so clearly emblematic of struggle meals in a way that 🥸🥓 imagery wasn’t.

Although it was borderline traumatizing, I’m glad that I had the experience of being detained and bullied by US Customs and Border Protection back in 2013. I’m sure it was merely a taste of what is happening now, but it’s a sour enough taste that I have no desire to try to visit the USA. Be safe

Charli’s grammy performance was a high production value replica of an annual party I threw in Ottawa called the no pants dance party. NPDP primarily took place during the indie sleaze era. I’m feeling very nostalgic 😭 🩲 🎉

The White House is saying Canada misunderstood the tariffs as a trade war & it feels eerily similar to when men hit on women relentlessly- then act like they didn't mean it when women do not reciprocate. Huge "It was just a joke, it's not that serious" vibes. Canada did not misunderstand anything.

I’m really gonna miss orange juice. I recently developed a minor obsession with the already expensive, fresh-squeezed OJ from Farm Boy. I can barely justify the cost now. With 25% tariffs on oranges, we’ll be drinking water around here.

This missing cat poster I saw on Reddit is a masterclass in effective visual communication. It’s simple, to the point, clear, emphatic in the right places, and the cat is adorable. Noteworthy that they didn’t include non-Essential info. I hope Zontar is found! #PEI

A few years ago in a freak wind storm/derecho a giant tree limb fell on my triplex while I was in it. It was a lot less devastating of a situation than you might think, but still I have developed a significant level of anxiety in wind storms. I find myself completely unable to focus this afternoon

People who keep saying "brace yourself for the next four years..." have zero understanding that this isn't a temporary situation...there will never be a free and fair election again. You are fooling yourself if you think this is just for 4 years.

Where are we buying physical media these days? I haven’t bought a DVD in easily a decade and there are a few I’d like to add to my collection. Don’t say Amazon. I’m not buying on Amazon if I can find things elsewhere.
