We are donating all of our Little Critter, Curious George, Dr. Seuss, and a whole host of other family favourite books because our kids are now too old for them, and I am not ok.

Hi Bluesky people, I have been largely inactive here for a little bit, and for that I would like to say I’m sorry. Sorry in particular to those of you who pulled the plug on the bad place for good, something I want to do in a lot of ways, but have not yet been able to bring myself to do.

Is there a way to know what starter packs you are a part of? I keep getting followed by huge groups of people at a time and I’m assuming that’s why? 🤷‍♂️

At the risk of horribly jinxing it the Canucks are looking pretty good so far!

Love these ding dongs. ❤️

Me today. I (mostly) kid, as although there are some major frustrations I don’t hate my job, and love my coworkers, but this is nonetheless how I feel about returning to work (which also means my kids are back to school, which means making lunches, which, fuck).

Not to brag or anything but I’ve eaten over a pound of licorice allsorts today.

I’m sure Canucks fans won’t be too hard on Juulsen about this…😬

Not looking good people, not even 2:30 and I’m already pissed off at my very right wing brother-in-law and his (similarly very right wing) partner…

As a non football dad this is pretty much my Super Bowl.

A mighty pile of boxes piled outside the front door for me to break down and recycle.

Feeling sappy as I wait for the Christmas mayhem to start at our house in 15 minutes. To all my peeps on here I want to say merry Christmas/happy holiday(s) of your choice, and that you all mean a lot to me. If I know you from the bad place, I’m glad to have again found you here. ❤️

I wonder if listening to Tetris music would help me pack my wife’s stocking (sadly not a euphemism) despite having bought way too much to put in it?

Last Elf…shelving of the year. In the immortal words of fake SNL Sean Connery, “suck it long, and suck it hard” Elf!

I’ve been waiting so long for a classic Petey snipe like that!

I’ve been so busy I almost forgot to post this, as I do every year!

The captions read: “A gingerbread man sits inside a gingerbread house. Is the house made of flesh? Or is he made of house? He screams, for he does not know.”

I’ve lost track of the number of passes the Canucks have failed to take cleanly tonight, it seems like just about everyone other than Hughes is just a bit off.

(Some) faith in humanity restored: a 🧵 My wife wanted to get me the Hughes black skate jersey she knew I wanted for my birthday or Christmas, but they were sold out everywhere. I had been looking myself previously, and had also been unable to find one in my size. 1/7

Picture of me in my living room in my new black skate Hughes jersey that my wife bought me for my birthday.

My 43rd birthday seems like a good day for Hughes to do Hughes things, I’m sure he is acutely aware of the magnitude of this day. I may not be wiser, but I am…older.

I was going to lose my mind if that wasn’t a penalty…

That was just an excellent period.

Last night my son randomly said “was today the day baby Jesus died?” I replied “yes, he fell off his skateboard,” which my son seemed to readily accept. I can’t wait to hear about what I’m sure is going to be an interesting discussion between him and my semi-religious mother-in-law.

At least the Canucks can’t take this from me. 😂😢

I got a 12 hour suspension in the stupid place for replying “I hope the door hits him squarely and firmly on the ass on his way out” in response to a tweet about Jordan Peterson leaving Canada. 😂

I just saw a Cybertruck in the wild with my kids, and I wish I could have recorded their ensuing conversation about how stupid looking it was. 😂

Sean Bowie @seanbowie.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

I’m at the park with my kids, and there is a kid here with hands down the most glorious mullet I’ve ever seen. I won’t take a picture for obvious reasons, but I desperately want to. 😂

For those that don’t know about London Drugs’ Stocking Stuffers for Seniors program, it is a really lovely way to make Christmas a little more special for a senior in your community. We only just learned about it last year, and it is now an annual tradition of ours.

Bit rude Peppermint, bit rude.

It is beyond tragic how many things my kids say that are PERFECT setups for “that’s what she said” that I have to just let sail on by.

Sean Bowie @seanbowie.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

That was an insane overtime, complete bullshit on the non call.

My sick daughter just asked me if I want the remaining half of her bagel because she isn’t really hungry, and I said “no I do not want the rest of your plaguel!” She didn’t get it, but I’m nonetheless pretty pleased with myself.

Pumpkin’s between the eyes tuft of white fur is looking extra tuftacular today! 😂

Close up of our tuxedo (black and white) cat’s face. Her head is predominantly black, but between her eyes and around her mouth and nose she is white, and today in particular above her nose where the white fur meets black the white fur is sticking up.

Harness the good energy, block out the bad.

Close up of two ornaments on our Christmas tree, a gnome in Canucks gear and a snowman with an Oilers hat and the word “Oilers” underneath. The gnome is placed in such a way that it largely blocks the Oilers ornament, very much intentionally on my part. I am a Canucks fan from Vancouver, while my wife and in-laws are from Edmonton.

That the Canucks game is at noon on a Friday is stupid, but that the Canucks game is at noon on a Friday that happens to be my biweekly Friday off is a little bit of alright!

Every night without fail while I make my kids their lunches for school the next day Pumpkin sits there like this waiting for her evening Churu.
