Sorry, I have reached my quota of stupids by 8AM. Not sure if it was the telezombie blocking stairs at train; the derp blocking the sidewalk because it was triggered by a car engine; or the telezombie blocking the sidewalk while on a FaceTime.

No more stupids today. Thank you for your compliance.

I'll be damned if I can remember all my coworkers names or even some of my friends, but holy fuck I can remember every lyric from a 19 year old Kylie Minogue album.

Does anyone else find it wild that the Canada Revenue Agency openly asks you for your full SIN as an identity verifier? Not, like, the first or last 3 digits. The full thing.

(And yes, I am really for real on the real CRA site.)

The only country that tries to make high school transcripts FUN and COOL is the U.S. With fun, brightly coloured logos, stamps, fonts, picture of the school, etc.

Every other country understands it's a bland, formal document for bland formality. Every. Other. Country.

Today's going to be a tough day at schools and PSIs around British Columbia. Sometimes I just need a little hit of dopamine to get things moving. youtu.be/rvR58UJetOg?...

God bless the fake indie girlies, all bundled up with everything blazing a huge outlet mall designer logo while also trying to be like "ooh i'm serious and unique."

An April Fool's drag show where the first three queens intentionally perform the same number.

Coz I've been to ones where it wasn't and it wasn't but it did.

365 days since we became Vancouverites. A big move, but 100% worth it. We've found an amazing community, queer queers, and a great sense of belonging. Thanks to everyone who's made us feel at home. Cheers to the next 1, 5, 10+ years.

All good things must come to an end. "Dinosaur" an opening day attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom (and one of my favourites) zaps its final guests back in time today. Here's us, waving goodbye to our carnotaurus friend for the final time.

As Dr. Marsh said, the future is truly in the past.

I don't think I trust Excel's random number generator. After trying to use it multiple ways so I can randomize the order I'm evaluating a number of submissions in, for fairness, it keeps suspiciously grouping the people back together.

They're on the ground and his seat is reclined. Isn't that against federal regulations during taxi, takeoff, and landing?
