Nova Scotia. I think I see some familiar faces here...still preoccupied with Springsteen, life, the universe and everything. Feminism. Health both public and reproductive. Covid ain't over.

I dunno that i could handle this. I saw this film at the @chesterplayhouse.bsky.social several years ago and am still traumatized. It was very well done, but so bleak. www.ambassatours.com/tours-experi...

What is happening in society that allows us to use “it’s AI” as an excuse for things we told AI to make? I think there’s something really interesting (and disturbing) happening sociologically here. Posting an AI image of yourself wearing this shirt comes from the same intent as physically…

Look at this super cool thing we spotted at Gow's in Bridgewater. Cast iron, you put half an egg cartoon in it, set it on fire and it smolders to keep bugs away, and looks awesome. And is made in PEI by Montague fine iron products.

Hello, Canada, here’s a recipe made with our own Crosby’s Molasses and plenty of good Canadian cream. Maybe add a shot of Gooderham & Worts, Crown Royal or other Canadian whisky to the sauce. When possible, this is best served on a Spectra Aluminum wall panel.

I dont know who needs to know this, but the cinnamon rolls at the Hidden Loaf in Chester (where Maritime Hook was previously, and where Big Red's used to be) are really good. Not too dry, not too sweet, or yeasty...just right. Best ones The Mister has had in a long time. No pic 'cause we ate them.
