*Gestures expansively* you know...science, and shit

All gung ho to go to work like I'm some kind of Protestant

...follow me for more dispatches from the gilded bosom of Catholicism

Though sometimes the sun sets just so and you understand why the ceilings of Renaissance churches look Like That

Getting a lot of side-eye from a lot of nuns this morning

My USB cord pentagram "Tech Witch" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

...that's on me for living in a neighborhood with eighty six thousand assorted shrines, basilicas, and pilgrimage sites

We all must make sacrifices for our careers I say as I board a train for the Tuscan seaside

Oh no, it's nothing but picturesque hilltop castles and scenic olive groves

[continued suffering]

Reject modernity, embrace tradition!

I just think the exoskeleton would really come in handy on the job market, you know?

I moved to Rome two weeks ago. Now I have a lemon guy.

This is nice

Italy is a place where you need to Know A Guy. Nice Scotia is a place where you need to Know A Guy. All that's standing between me and a cadre of Guys I Know is language and understanding, culturally, what the legion is over here

Nothing connects you to the past like scraping copper leaf out of your fingerprints The ghost of Brother Stanislav, probably: mmmm. Rough cloth. Classic choice.

I have not been in Nova Scotia in August since 2021. Here is a list of things I had forgotten:

Capture the magic of summer in Halifax with our new 'Busker Fest' signature candle. Hand-poured in a small North End studio, this candle delights the senses with a clear note of kerosene, an earthy base of half-decomposed kelp, and a sweet finish of waffle cones.

The absolute joy of the outdoor music fest. Can I sit around on a rainy Saturday night with other Joel Plaskett fans elsewhere in the world? Most assuredly. Will we be as cheery, rowdy, and in-tune? Most assuredly not.

Canadian culture is announcing how we're better than the US before devolving into regional insults, then a loud, unified FUCK YOU to an American engaging in those same Canadian regional insults. Canadians: fuck Alberta America: yeah fuck Alberta Canadians: SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH HOW DARE YOU

Hard reset to factory default (screaming myself hoarse in a damp field to Joel Plaskett)

Really, I must proTEST

Fucken disrespectful levels of humidity here. I didn't listen to any of my fanatical colleagues about sous-vide, and I CERTAINLY didn't agree to be sous-vided inside my own home.

I have not been in Nova Scotia in August since 2021. Here is a list of things I had forgotten:

The alluring fragrance of salt water, low tide, and fresh waffle cones

If the candle makers of Halifax had the wherewithal, THIS would be the scent of the summer. None of this 'warm bergamot and fresh linen' nonsense

I have not been in Nova Scotia in August since 2021. Here is a list of things I had forgotten:

Sweet and gentle Christ, the humidity. I lived in a Vancouver, AN ACTUAL RAIN FOREST, for four years. It was nowhere near this humid.

Thinking a lot about Grandad these days. A man who would answer the question 'so what have you been up to lately?' with 'what are you, the goddamn cops?'

Sarah Faber@sciencebanshee.bsky.social

Grandad had already shuffled off the the great tavern in the sky when BlueSky started up, so here's one of my favourite memories. His absolutely perfect retirement plan.
