It has been my experience that if you have never had bangs you aren’t allowed to have bangs. Anytime I go to the salon and ask about bangs they’re like “have you ever had bangs?” And I’m all,“not since I was a kid” Then they’ll be like, “we’ll give you something you can still tuck behind your ear”

Reminds me of the time I was a passenger in my friend’s car. He honked at some pedestrians and yelled “don’t walk on the road!” And I’m like “dude, look! There is no sidewalk.” He calmed down. He had a long day. I told him, “wanna get mad? get mad at whoever designed this place with nowhere to walk”

My favorite thing is when drivers yell at me to "get in the bike lane" on a road that has no bike lane

This is one of the best things I've read in a while about the psychology of car supremacy, and how those of us who even *question* it are viewed as heretics. Thanks to @pflax1.bsky.social for sending this my way.

Well designed bike lanes mitigate both. Really sick of people trying to withhold life saving infrastructure as some sort of punishment.

Drivers complaining about cyclists breaking laws on Hopkins without considering how many drivers break the law on that street everyday. 🤔

One of the worst times to accidentally eat a hot chili pepper you thought was a just baby bell pepper is when your place is under a boil water advisory 👀 Good thing I noticed *just* in time to not do that …again😅

I don’t even normally like that top-down shooty genre of games but that one was so beautifully done, the sets, the characters, the soundtrack!🤩 I loved it, I beat it, and then I played it all over again to unlock all the make-the-game-harder modifiers 😁 So much fun

On this day 15 years ago, we launched our first game, Bastion. To everyone who helped the Kid survive the Calamity, thank you!!🙏 You're the reason we've been able to carry on as an independent studio ever since.

Ugh, you know all this rain is just getting the mosquitoes all hot and bothered again right now 🌧️

A little brown water got me concerned, so I called the city’s customer service line this afternoon and found I’m under a boil water advisory since *yesterday* and NOBODY TOLD ME! 😤

Woah! Took me a while to notice it’s a stilt costume 🤩

This person compiled a good list of resources for disability supports and benefits for people in Saskatchewan. Figured it’s worth sharing around #yxe

Forrester's vehicular cycling is straight-up bad. Using it as an excuse to not provide safe infrastructure is worse. It isn't and should never be a zero sum equation either way.

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

I always forget how much I enjoy crafting. It’s like I only ever craft stuff when I need something made. Tonight I spent about 3 little hours sewing 3 little felt hats for 3 little pigs. They need some cute hats cuz they’re in my Fringe Show: Storytelling Alive! At the Saskatoon Fringe Festival.

I’m finding the main thing that sucks is rent / mortgage would be so much easier if it were split in half.

'being single sucks because youll be lonely' lame and untrue. 'being single sucks because a lot of groceries are portioned to make food for more than one person and you cant really take advantage of buying in bulk because it'll go bad before you use it all' this i cannot deny.

My doctor still starts any checkup with “and how many kids do you have again?” And I’m like, “still zero”🤷‍♀️

When my cat goes to the vet, the vet immediately remembers her name, age, health problems and every medication she's ever been on, but when I go to the doctor, the doctor always looks at me like I'm the first person they've seen since recovering from amnesia and goes "Uhhh...do you exercise?"

You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.

That’s so awesome! I’d use catnip oil over deet any day if given the chance :) It’s in the mint family, it has to smell better than normal bug spray. And cats would love it too😊

Catnip lotion as effective as Deet at repelling mosquitoes, study finds

Researchers testing a cheap, homegrown oil in Uganda found what cats knew all along – it worked as well as the artificial chemical used globally

This is how my friend took a pic of me slack lining on my new slack line.

Just biked home from work during a Tornado Warning, nbd😅 It’s better than staying at work, where I’m pretty sure their tornado plan is: start hiring new staff 😅

Went to the fireworks with my friend who’s a wheelchair athlete & sat in my little camping chair with him so we were both seeing from about the same height. And boy o boy I gained a little perspective on how being in a crowd of standing ppl when you’re in a chair trying to see the fireworks suuucks

Unpopular opinion but I think it’s fine to call spiders “bugs”. “Bug” isn’t a scientific term, so it can apply to any creepy crawly, which could include spiders, right?
