Printing photos of our trips for a photo album. For the Louvre, I made sure to get the closed Galerie D’Apollon interior shot AND the exterior shot and I’m going to put them side by side

I love how territorial we are over area codes, even though they are incredibly low stakes now. Alberta has had full provincial area codes for almost 20 years now, and we still have 780 and 403 snobs (though ngl, 780 FOR LIFE BABYYYYY!)

It would be super cool if the Edmonton Oilers paid some FUCKING ATTENTION to the outrage over the Cornell 7 and that kind of sexual assault and DID SOMETHING, rather than continuing to play Alex Formenton and pay him $850K this year. Every woman Oilers fan I’ve talked to isn’t watching this season

Hockey season feels really dead this year. I was talking to a fellow Calgarian Oilers fan last night, and both of us are just like “nope, absolutely not this year” It feels like the media is entirely focused on Babcock now, while sweeping Formenton under the rug. He’s what broke the camel’s back.

I imagine how incredible it would be for my grandparents to watch me function in the world without cash, just my phone. Then I imagine how pathetic they would think I am as I sit here with 6 different iPhones, 4 hard drives, and a computer because I’ve lost all my photos somewhere

I have a literal stack of iPhones to hunt down old photos. I managed to lose everything from the first 3 months of dating my partner, but good news! Somehow all fhe pictures and memes from COVID survived. Why would I want pictures of us falling in love rather than of the Rideau Cottage Podium

I’m taking my iPhone 7 somewhere to get fixed because I need photos from it, and it’s SO tiny! Even inside a bulky lifeproof case, it’s smaller than my iPhone 15 Pro. I can reach the entire screen one handed! Why did we ever leave this behind? I wish it was still functional

I was warming the butter for baking, when this happened. I would never waste perfectly butter, so I guess I’ll have to take one for the team and eat these “contaminated” cheesecake bars myself.

Now that more stores are offering hemming as a service and most clothing is moving towards more androgynous cuts, it’s time to eliminate pants with a length under 35”. There is absolutely no reason Uniqlo men’s pants should have only a 31” inseam when they OFFER HEMMING

I love 22 Minutes and CBC normally, but this REALLY missed the mark. It’s been less than 8 months since Tumbler Ridge, a month since they had to demolish the school. More people died that day than at any American school shooting this year. Has the rest of Canada really forgotten so fast?

Listening to an audiobook about Jonestown, and wow. Growing up after it, we know how it ends and that’s already unbelievable. But considering the logistics and how they even got to that point? Mindblowing. Like your local fringe group in 2026 probably couldn’t build a commune in South America

Word of advice: do not get married in the first week of November in an American election year. Our anniversary falls on the election date in 2028, and I was fine with that. But I did not consider that even in a midterm year, the countdowns to that week are inescapable.
