How do I pressure Canada Post to give the union a fair offer because I want my damn MAIL.

man the 'ask abby' advice columns out there today are... Really bad. half the time they don't even really answer the question, they just talk vaguely about what they know about the subject and leave it at that, and the other half the time they misinterpret what's being asked and don't help at all.

it was very funny that a few rows of the musicians could watch the movie when they weren't playing bc they sat on the front side of the screen. Everyone else sat and stared into the middle distance. Also how many times did the conductor have to watch this movie lmao

just found out my favourite thrifted pants I had to throw away because of an unfortunate stain was actually from a decently expensive brand and I can NOT easily replace them 😞 I think I got the pants for like $15 and the brand averages $200 for a similar pair of chinos 😭

Our realtor was impressed with how not-picky we are and we informed him we are in fact incredibly picky we're just really good at vetoing houses before asking him to show them to us (we have seen 3 houses in one entire year) By the time we get to him we're looking for reasons not to buy.

Samwise Fosterholm @samwisefosterholm.bsky.social · 14/05/2024

man my not-boss is so cool, he regularly allows me to shop around for more ethical and environmentally friendly products even if they're more expensive, and unquestionably listened to me when I wanted to buy something in bulk instead of individually packaged to reduce waste.

This is Oberyn he is very sweet and odd and I get to visit him over the next couple days while his guardian is out of town 💛🐈

A sandy orange tabby lays regally on a parquet floor, observing the photo taker with greenish eyes. His tail is making a 90 degree angle because he was wagging it as the photo was taken (this is apparently a good thing with him specifically).

I find it interesting how well known the 'orange cats are more likely to be male' fact is, when the same genetic logic exists for black cats but I've never heard anyone say the same about them.

I deeply desire to know the intimate details of the Family Drama™️ happening but in no reality do I want to be entrenched in it which is really the only way to truly know so I'll count my blessings and watch from the safety of over 1000km away.

I'm kinda anxious about the eclipse tomorrow mainly due to traffic concerns. I live under 100km from totality, so we're gonna drive there day of but traffic will likely be bonkers and my fiance needs to get to work on time after and what if we can't find space to stop and watch the event and aahhh

man I hate house hunting and seeing 'new carpets!!' advertised on a house I like because we super don't want carpets but the idea of pulling up new carpets makes me sick with the amount of needless waste it would make. (I actually like carpet but the upkeep with the fur in the house is Too Much)

Remembering how my ex was super insistent that pygmy hippopotamus weren't real, even when I told him I saw some in person at a zoo, then realizing he was probably mixing up pygmy hippos with the house hippo Canadian commercial from the late 90s warning people not to believe everything they see on TV

I've been trying not to hype up DS9 episodes because it skews my fiance's enjoyment of them, so for 'In the Pale Moonlight' I casually said "oh Sisko has a really good monologue in this one" and now it's one of his favourite episodes hell yeah

"but if we don't raise prices it'll cut into our profits" they whinge, failing to mention exactly how much money they make in the first place

I really want to support smaller charities with physical donations but because they have limited resources it's SO much harder to get the right time&place to do so. They're also vaaastly pickier about how items are sorted which seems a bit... Much.

Samwise Fosterholm @samwisefosterholm.bsky.social · 20/03/2024

Oh yay after filing like 5 claims without problem with my insurance they're suddenly having a fit over the fact I keep mentioning this claim is technically covered somewhere else. Do I send them the full denial statement that I'm fighting or the one that says private insurance has to pay out first?

I love (/s) that the realty website has a distinction between townhouses and regular houses but people will still list the townhouses as regular houses anyway so the filter is less effective.

Man I fuckin hate amazon, I have to use it for work and pretty much every time after I make a purchase, it emails me a couple days later lying about having something in my cart to lure me back to the site. You make enough money stop being so shitty.

I don't care that we're all turning 30 this year, seeing that one of my fellow HS graduates had a second baby last year is sending me into just a tiny crisis (about the passage of time and the progression of life, not because I myself want a child lol)

how do I tell him that if he stops mucking around in the dirt he doesn't have to get his paws cleaned off

A fluffy black and white border collie is sitting down, and looks just past the camera. His brown eyes are reflective with cataracts. His paws are not muddy because I wiped them off.

Got a little dressed up for my fiance's birthday tonight - we're just having a half dozen friends over but I wanted an excuse to wear my new thrifted star trek-esque dress 😤

Caucasian person takes a knees-up mirror selfie of themself wearing a mostly black fitted dress, across the chest is a thick band of dark yellow, and an inch above that is a thin band of white. Their short hair is dark blonde with a grown-out bleach job, slightly wavy. A black blurry shape by their legs is a cat begging for dinner.
