I turn 40 on Sunday. Currently drinking cheap 🇨🇦 wine, playing a detective game on Steam while juggling Pokemon Go, snuggled in a Starwars sweater with my official YouTube partner lamp lol. I'm an adult? Someone somewhere thinks this is cute right? 😂😘

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

One month ago I was comfortably swimming in the ocean. Without a wetsuit. Still getting sunburned.
Today, it's the first snow flurries. It snows before my bday almost every year. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Well made tv feels like such a treat. Welcome to Derry is just a really satisfying watch. Like Severance, Foundation, Mind Hunter, Hannibal etc shows (many more) that put in the effort

The hardest part of being a mom isn't my kid. He's truly the easiest part. The hardest part is the collective expectations on us to do everything for everyone without appreciation or help. We are groomed to be like this and everyone around us groomed to feed into it.

I'm pretty sure Florence + the Machine's new Album is specifically for her fellow 39 year old ladies. Damn.

I feel so lucky to have my GP. As a person who leans a bit into the anxious side of healthcare thanks to many bad experiences, reassurance and validation goes a LONG way. He never makes me feel bad for asking things and I feel safe bringing up concerns. It's a gift! Should be the norm.

I got sponsored a glowy mermaid tail and yes I crammed myself into a tub to test it because I am an adult and do what I want.

I'm kinda in withdrawal now and wondering if I should just start over at the beginning
It took 72 hours broken out over the year but I've finished every Sherlock Holmes story (with added commentary by Stephen Fry). I've read individual stories over the years but tackled everything start to finish. Not bad for an exhausted working mom. When my kiddo is older I'll read them to him. ❤️

first half of Shelby Oaks was so good, but I wish they'd stuck with the documentary/found footage format. Second half was...same old same old, campy and redundant. That being said, Director has room to grow and a lot of potential I think. 6/10 for me but I'll check out his next thing.

My latest video in my Mermaid 101 series is up!
This is a series of lectures I gave introducing people to the mermaid industry and hobby. It's great for newbies and people who are interested in the business or hobby side of things.

A common thread I am seeing across SAR in NS is terrible or no cell coverage limiting people's ability to call for help, and limiting helps ability to mobilize. I remember making a 911 call in Truro and couldn't keep a signal. Wasn't this an election promise at some point? To address it?

I know multiple folks who either had to work the attempted rescue, or were related to the victims, of the terrible tragedy this passed weekend for those two kids. It's such a horrible horrible case, pit in my stomach all weekend. My mama heart breaks for them.

This is in no way shading EHS but my dad been waiting hours for an ambulance. He was told it could be a 4 hour wait. Years ago I called for a man at a restaurant having anaphylaxis and it still took an hour. I sent another patron to a nearby pharmacy for help while we waited. We need to do better
