If you get a chance, stop by the trans folx-owned Understory café on Church St in Toronno. (post source: www.threads.com/share/_nEK7_...)
Threads post by @rowanjetteknox: 

A man opened the coffee shop door a couple of days ago and yelled: “IMPORTANT SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!”

He paused. The packed room stopped talking and looked at him.

“MENTAL HEALTH” he began “IS HEALTH!” 

“You bet it is” I replied.

“That’s right!” Another person shouted.

The whole place nodded and clapped. He picked up his bags and ran down the street.

Dear brain, Gentle reminder that the game you like is “number go up”, not “number go down”. Best, Nik

Time shenanigans, you say? (Post placement order in my feed entirely coincidental.) 😄
Two Bluesky posts coincidentally related to time travel. 

Top post by spacevalkyries: “my discovery draft melted into chaos so I head hopped from character to character and realized I want to add in some time fuckery maybe, oops!! but I do love time shenanigans and timeloops so here we are. I can always simplify in revisions and later drafts if that’s overcomplicating—but for now [eyes emoji]”

Bottom post by urbanbohemian: “Got predestination paradox on the brain. Does it still apply if going back in time DOES change events after all? Was the person still meant to go back? Can someone else going back in time purposely or inadvertently change things back to their previous sequence of events, and was THAT predestined?”

I drink so much more water when it has bubbles.
Report from Waterllama app says: My thirsty Saturday. Joy tiny sips between meals. This text is followed by the large silhouette of a bear, filled with colour representing what I’ve drunk today: blue for water and red for soda. Beneath that there’s a small full-colour version of the bear, a breakdown of what I’ve drunk in representational containers—a red can for soda, a bottle for sparkling water, a large tumbler for still water—followed by the total in ounces (207).

post a photo you took to add some goodness and chill to the timeline.
A foggy vista. The scene comprises a mountain in the background, partially obscured by fog. Another hillier peak is in the foreground, covered in trees, atop which is a temple. The rest of the ‘scape is a bunch of foggy treetops.

Google’s “Catch Pokémon” card that pops up when you search for a Pokémon and then tap the floating Pokéball. It says, “Catch the remaining 150 Pokémon by searching their names”, followed by a button that says, “Start with a hint”. Then there’s a widget that shows how many Pokémon have been caught, either milestones at 5, 20, 50, and 100. Finally, there are squares, four per row, each containing the silhouette of a Pokémon.

What’s a game that only you remember? Tooth Invaders (1981) for Commodore VIC-20. I had only two games, that and some jungle one in which an alligator kept eating me. I’m guessing we got this tooth one because it was the least expensive at Toys”R”Us, but ugh. 🤢

Brain interrupted a comfortable and deep snooze, not only so I could wonder what year-month-day it is and where I am, but so I could share with you that I forgot the one game I’ve played more times than any other over the past 32 years. Replacing Jazz Jackrabbit with this one!

Meet your Spring tea soulmate!

You're a romantic of the "stormy weather is the dreamiest" school. You prefer cool grey days with a threat of something unpredictable just beneath the surface. Your tea soulmate is Yonder Fog, a blend designed to smell like rain and mystery, to taste like ancient trees and mist rolling down the mountain. You could disappear here, just the way you like.

Thank you, weather app. Very useful to receive this alert nearly 12 hours after the fact.
A severe weather alert, warning of hail that may pose a significant threat to life or property. The onset of the weather event was 3a; the alert was sent at around 2.30p.

New unskippable thing in Duolingo. One step closer to deleting it.
Duolingo now forces users to commit to an amount of time for the friend streak: 7 days (good friends), 14 days (great friends), 30 days (best friends), or 50 days (lifelong friends).

The best thing about moving is finding all the things I had no idea I had. How perfect is this noodles bowl?

When I read the inventory for my tabla shipment, I was really curious about the “tuning spanner” they included. I know that what I know as a wrench is called a spanner in other parts of the world, but still I wasn’t expecting a literal little wrench/spanner. 😂

I don’t have a beautiful cup or mug because I forget about my tea within moments, so all my vessels are boring, insulated types that keep my tea hot for hours. I do have a favourite bowl, though. It was a gift from a friend and delights me every time I use it.
A bowl with a “yummy” expression painted on it. The bowl is white and stands on two feet. It’s filled with a peanut butter and chocolate, Cocoa Puffs-type cereal.

I don’t remember the last time Diwali and Halloween were on the same day. A few years ago I played Raavan in a Diwali skit. Seems appropriate to share today. I wish it were a great photo like the kind @kp11studios.bsky.social takes, but still at least it makes me laugh every time I see it. 😂
In this photo, I’m wearing a paper crown and have 10 heads (9 of them printed on paper and glued to the crown). I’m wearing a skin-coloured top that makes it look like I’m not wearing a top and have a hairy chest and stomach. I’m holding prop mace in my left hand, and standing with my right hand fisted at my waist. All 10 heads are moustachioed and I’m wearing a royal blue dhoti and black socks, along with a menacing expression.

I was gonna do silent Sunday but I wanted to share a story. Last weekend, I showed a friend the new place and we went for a walk. We found a secret beach! It was really cool. I miss living near the ocean; while it’s not the same to live near a river, it’s still pretty great. 😊 […]
