For a while, after I deleted my Twitter account and before I started using my Bluesky account instead, I was keeping my bits and pieces on my Tumblr, which I also no longer use. These are those bits and pieces.
03 - I just watched the second Dune film. Meh.
03 - Sometimes I want to fry a whole package of bacon and eat the whole thing.
03 - I got the packet for my FIT test. The thing I find most odd about this, is that I can mail it. I can mail that thing. A mail person will have to pick it up and deliver it, and they won't have a clue what's inside it. I'm not sure how poetic I should find that, but I feel like there should be something to it.
05 - Dear anyone: it's "all of A sudden" not "all of THE sudden", and "BY accident" not "ON accident". Kthnxbye.
05 - Is it just me, or does/did anyone else ever feel unreasonably guilty for breaking up bunches of bananas at the store to get just the amount you wanted? For some reason, when I was a kid, I always thought I'd get in trouble if I was caught doing it.
05 - You can tell how people are meant to live by the number of stories you hear like "I used to be an office manager, now I'm a dog groomer." "I used to work in IT, but now I make jewellery." "I used to be in marketing, now I run a hobby farm."
05 - I just found out how honey is made. I'd never thought about it. I figured it had to be either bee poop or bee vomit. I'm not sure how I should feel about bee vomit being so tasty.
05 - My favourite thing to say to people crapping on the disabled for not being productive enough, is "you're welcome to my inoperable birth defect."
05 - "No one can do everything. But everyone can do something." - Unknown
05 - One time I said something out loud to myself and wondered if the neighbours heard me and thought I was crazy for talking to myself. Then I realised there's no way for them to know I live alone, and just talking to me.
05 - Houses on Escape to the Country sure do have a towel warmer kink.
10 - I just realised how weird the word "soggy" is.
10 - Bigotry is a choice.
10 - I wish I could remember who it was that first said that landlords are to housing what scalpers are to concert tickets.
10 - I had to get a new glucometer, as the old seemed to be getting problematic. But the updated Contour Next I got is more difficult to read. I hate when things get updated that didn't need to be updated.
10 - Ugh. My dental hygienist gave me gross dental floss. I can't even begin to describe that flavour, but it sure isn't minty.
10 - Renting a home is no sign you're not an adult any more than owning means you are. it's no real measure of valuation.
10 - I gave up Lent for Lent.
10 - The only jujubee or jelly bean flavours I don't like are the red ones. Raspberry is the eugh.
10 - I hope they finish that road work soon, because that clank-clank clank-clank of vehicles going over the metal plate in the road is really starting to work a nerve.
10 - Social things that I've heard about that give me a big happy:
- The increasing number of governments providing free contraception.
- Care farms, where elderly adults (particularly those with dementia, etc) participate in day programs where they get therapy from working in the gardens.
- A garden attached to a homeless shelter that gives people a place to stay and work experience from working in the gardens.
05 - All odd numbers have the letter E in their names.
13 - "Never be deceived that the rich will allow you to vote away their wealth." - Lucy Parsons
13 - I would dearly love to see the eradication of the term middle class. Not because people of certain tax brackets don't exist, but because it fosters yet another layer of othering and dissatisfaction between groups of people that should be working together.
13 - There is still goodness in people. I just watched a Satanist on TikTok wonder if it would be possible for her to crochet prayer mats for Muslims, particularly those in need.
13 - I just realised why GenX is the way it is. we're still shellshocked from reading Flowers in the Attic as early teens.
13 - Ahh. The road under my window is paved. Hopefully the worst of the road work is now behind us. it's been blissful all afternoon/evening without the constant clunk, clunk, clunk of vehicles going over those metal plates they cover roads with when working on them.
14 - Happy Pi Day!
14 - I hate the smell of sugary sweet things on my hands.
14 - Things I never need to hear about again: anything related to celebrity culture.
14 - Capitalism is racist, ableist, selfish, classist, misogynist, self-involved, arrogant, greedy, cancerous, divisive, othering, sociopathic, eroding, and completely void of empathy. It builds nothing, cheapens quality, thieves, suffocates, exploits, depletes, pulps, and rolls over the dead to get more.
14 - Living wage calculations never take debt into account.
14 - I'm going to be sad when bagged milk disappears.
14 - Hot damn! Someone put all four seasons of Night Heat up on YouTube!
14 - I hate when I'm full but I want to keep eating something because it's so delicious, but I can't, because I'm full.
14 - Comment to a friend about donating to Body Worlds: Nothing like spending eternity grossing people out when you're no longer able to offend them directly.
16 - Gary Numan - Toronto:
16 - Things that annoy the shit out of me: People who pronounce realtor as RE-A-LA-TOR. On the list of the many reasons why I'm comfortable renting and not owning a home: They just had to replace the entire hot water heater system in my building, and I didn't have to worry about it except for the hot water being off for a few hours.
16 - I miss rollerskating.
16 - A petard is a small explosive device.
16 - Things that annoy the shit out of me: Addressing where the apartment number is first before the street number. It makes no sense, and so many of my deliveries go to the wrong place because of it. Stop that shit. it's fucking obnoxious.
16 - I'm not sure what's stupider. A modelling session, or watching people fake one on a TV show.
18 - Ministry is, without a doubt, the loudest band I've ever seen live.
18 - I saw someone use a dry squeegee on their floor instead of sweeping. Holy crap, does that ever get stuff better than a broom.
18 - I still have dreams of seeing Lawrence of Arabia in an IMAX. One day.
18 - Sometimes I send things to people accidentally because I fall asleep with my phone in my hands and drop it on my face.
18 - I'm going to start referring to any blue moods I have as “low tide”.
18 - I don't think it's possible for me to adequately adjectively describe to you the level of loathing I feel for the government of my country right now, and the level of embarrassment and shame I feel along with that.
18 - I wonder if they still make things like that for delivery cars. At any rate, I want that thing for wall decor:
