Not a team player. She/her. Fredericton, NB, Canada.
Parents of 14 year old boys in Fredericton: I have a good view of the top of the convention centre/Chancery Place parking garage, which seems to be prime real estate for biking and scootering. I will provide you with pics of your children (for a fee) should you wish to avail yourself of my services.
Got my syllabus for my fall course. Group work (boo, but I knew that going into it), BUT - no discussion forums! You win some, you lose some. We're in the home stretch here, folks. Three classes left, then you will mercifully never have to hear from my academic pursuits (my midlife crisis) again.
Sometimes I can’t believe that I, recently just a teenager myself, have a kid starting high school this fall. Then I look down at my bedlunch bowl of Raisin Bran and yeah maybe I can believe it.
There are two sunflowers growing through the concrete on the west side in the middle of the Princess Margaret bridge and it’s bringing me so much joy
The PSL is back and your kids are going back to school and might as well put up your Christmas tree and circle back after the holidays
Damnit. The middle aged white lady algorithm has found me. Every second ad I get is for Quince. And every Quince ad I see I’m like “wow I could really build a capsule wardrobe with this cardigan”
Watching Good Will Hunting and yearning for the return of track suits
First “Bienvenue à l’année scolaire 2026-27” email as I’m enjoying an Aperol Spritz on the dock in the sun is not the vibe.
“Hey text me that list of items you said you needed” *cell phone rings* The universal Boomer parent experience.
My university semester starts before Labour Day and I feel that this is a grave injustice
It was a glorious time to be 19 year old Vero living in Ottawa. I had a summer job with the feds and we were all deemed "non-essential" so we got the week off (PAID!). Also Gatineau still had power so we just went there for poutine (Pataterie Hulloise, pour ceux qui connaissent).
Canadian History Ehx@cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social · 2w agoOn this day in 2003, a blackout hit Ontario, and several US states. The blackout left 10 million in Ontario without power for up to four days. While American politicians blamed Canada initially, it was discovered the blackout was caused by a software bug in Ohio. 📸Global News
Might have just done my last summer camp drop off ever? These are the real parenting milestones.
It’s that time of the year where I think everything is Giant Hogweed 🙅♀️
Why do charitable organizations insist on cold calling people's cell phones for donations in this, the year of our lord 2026? You could be from the stop-stabbing-puppies foundation and I still wouldn't donate because DUDE, DON'T CALL ME.
NB Legislature: deer Mato Grosso Legislature: CAPYBARAS! apnews.com/article/braz...
Capybaras keep their chill while crashing Brazilian legislature
Capybaras have been making surprise visits to a Brazilian state legislature. These chill rodents strolled into the legislative building in Cuiaba, Mato Grosso, last week, catching lawmakers off guard.

There are only two genders: - People who fill up their gas tanks as soon as it dips below 1/4 tank - People who fill up when the needle is below the E line
Crucial first few weeks at new job/in new office building. It was all going well. Then someone drank my can of pop from the fridge today.

Do you live in Hammonds Plains? We just drove by a townhouse on Gary Martin Dr. that had a super long lineup at 08:00. What are they waiting for? I NEED TO KNOW. My guess is someone selling homemade pork buns out of their house.
20 seconds today. Tomorrow I might break the sound barrier.

Double crunch fried chicken from STMR.36 and a DQ chocolate chip cookie dough Blizzard cake at 10 pm to celebrate this most blessed of days, the day of @xoffsetx.bsky.social's birth. It's not Deluxe fish and chips, but it'll do.
