The Pirate module project page has a logo! And it’s visible in the Project Browser. Much gratitude to Bay Area Drupal Camp, aka BADCamp for permission to use a past logo of theirs as the logo for this module. #Drupal #yarr
A fierce, pixelated Drupal logo with an eye patch, and the truncated version of the description of the Pirate module, which reads "On International Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19th), this filter changes all appropriate English phrases and words into pirate-speak. Based on Dougal Campbell's Pirate filter, part of his…" (it really does trail off at that point).

Me, I’m camera shy, so I didn’t march in the main parade, but I did march when the audience joined in at the end. I didn’t know that was a thing until today. And it was my first time walking across the “iconic” 5th Street Bridge in the middle!

I did as Ariana Grande instructed.
A screenshot of my Record Club activity, indicating that I listened to Robyn’s Sexistential twice in a row, the joke being in reference to the Ariana Grande "listen twice" tweet in response to a fan complaining about her (AG’s) track lengths being too short.

#Toronto
A poster advertising a Toronto blackout anniversary party, the pertinent information being that it starts at Christie Pits Park on Thursday, August 14th at 6 PM with a picnic, then a bike rave at 8:30 PM or a 9 PM parade. Some more information, using OCR:

Come on a magical journey, celebrate Toronto the Good with:

Moskitto Bar 
Shout! Brass Attack
Samba Elegua
Flamenco Alumbrao
Maracatu Mar Aberto
New Model Circus Army
and more…

An afterparty is mentioned, with no details on the poster. The illustration looks to be a collage of people, one on a bike playing a horned instrument, and another banging a drum. The background is solid red.

The poster for @torontogamesweek is amazing. #Toronto #TorontoGames #TorontoGamesWeek
A poster for Toronto Games Week 2025, to be held June 12-18. At the top, the Ts in Toronto are stylized as gaming controllers, and so is the W. Prominently in the middle is a whimsical illustration of the city Toronto as seen from above, which includes The ExPlace Wind Turbine,  two Flexity streetcars, the Royal Ontario Museum (with Daniel Libeskind's iconic addition), the Christie Pits tiger, and is that Gaasyendietha, the Lake Ontario monster, in the bottom righthand corner? There are a number of other features of the city, like the lighthouse on Toronto Islands, a rainbow sidewalk, the inflatable movie screen at Fort York, the CN Tower, the Don River, Casa Loma, Princes' Gates (the triumphal arch and a monumental gateway at Exhibition Place), the smokestack at the Don Valley Brick Works, the Don River, the list goes on. There are some subtle references to video games, like coins one could conceivably pick up (such as the coins in Nintendo's Mario franchise, and also like in Subway Surfers). In the corners are, clockwise from the top left: playing cards, a gaming controller, a pentagonal trapezohedron (OK, a 10-sided dice with numbers on it) and a joystick. There are sponsors' logos at the bottom, and a QR code in the bottom right of the poster.
