YVR folks: limited spots for new patients at the primary care medical clinic our family goes to. North Burnaby, Hastings & Gilmore area. Message me for link. Act fast!

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

Wallace still one of my favourites of his roles and from that show.

The book "The True Cost of Wool" by Anna Hunter, in a person's lap, sitting outside with feet propped up on a chair.

Spring break reading @kpwerker.bsky.social

You're doing the important work. 🙌

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. (I haven't seen him act in anything but I don't watch much overall ... but I've loved every interview with him I've watched or heard.)

Amazing! I don't know anyone with a working rotary phone anymore. (We have several inherited specimens in our house, but no land line.)

Wonderful news about Yarnspirations customer service! Yay for Canadian manufacturers.

Retches in "1980s childhood"

My immediate thought: "Coombs?"

I, also a librarian without superpowers, second this viewpoint. 🙌

I commend your restraint in refraining from making the cat's butthole the opening where the yarn comes out.

Provincial park users/campers in BC, a thread worth reading.

oh no what did he do now

I follow you here and I like reading your books, so it would be great if you could tell us about new books here, yes. 😀

Me here picturing a physical folder to hold sheet music that is called a "Penguin folder" and has additional (penguin-related?) features that allow it to perform mysterious additional functions. (Then I read the rest of the thread.)

Which immediately makes me think of the clip near the beginning of "Groove is in the Heart".
