Moleman in the Morning, but for night owls. Just Say No to AI art.

Commuter cyclist, polisci PhD, and public transit enjoyer who also makes clothes sometimes in Ottawa, 🇨🇦
For the first half of the parade it was good! The pun was lost (the concept was “The Big Freezie” but I learned that Americans call them “Freeze Pops” so no rhyming with “Big Easy.” Dumb move to use white wine instead of red but you can still see the liquid line around my hip level #whoneedsAI

Some firsthand observations from a friend in NYC on early turnout for the mayoral election, lol #mamdani

Happy Hallowe’en! Some wool yarn and an Etsy Wizard hat is all it took to transform my fashion sewing project into a costume project this year. 🧙‍♂️ 🎃

Not going to last through more of these extra innings, but just want to say that both the Jays and the Dodgers have players sporting the actual Don Mattingly in The Simpsons “I thought I told you to trim those sideburns, hippie!” haircut and I don’t know why I never noticed it before #worldseries

Sold-out talk this evening with Cory Doctorow for his Enshittification book at the Ottawa Writer’s Festival!

Brilliant talk, worth missing the first half of the Jays game even (though I’m catching the rest of it now :D)

Just saw a cool multimedia piece at the Ottawa Art Gallery by Annie Bérubé, called Sous la Jupe de Ma Mère (Mer).

It “reimagines the decommissioning of an oil rig” with “the sea as both a maternal presence and a threshold: a site where grief, memory and regeneration converge.” #art #ottawa

I read an article about how “only” 2.5 million of the 5 million people newly covered under the public dental care plan have accessed it since last year and just want to say 1. That’s pretty great, actually! and 2. I just started seeing signs like this in the last month or two so yeah #dentalcare

Here it is! The jacket I’ve been working on since March — perfect timing weather-wise. The gold embroidery took forever but it adds an indispensable touch of ferengi to the hobbit vibe. @mommadart.bsky.social you wanted me to tag you when I finished it! #sewing #patchwork #hobbitcore #ottawasews

When I went to visit family via the Calgary airport last month, my daughter ran into the flight attendants’ union office. They gave her a snack and this CUPE swag and chit chatted about the bargaining issues with Air Canada. Thinking of them in solidarity now. Unpaid work won’t fly! ❤️

TIL about thimbleberries (left pic). Not raspberries, more tart and with a slightly flatter shape. Chomped a few of these up as well as huckleberries (right pic) on my hike outside Kimberly, B.C. #berrysky #hiking #plantsky

Shred alert 🚨 @greenday.bsky.social tonight. “Not part of the MAGA agenda” went especially hard during American Idiot 🤘

Now I’ve seen both Weird Al’s parody Canadian Idiot and the original American Idiot live 💚 😄 #OttawaBluesfest

Saw a lot of TNG episodes when I was a kid but the first time I got back into it as an adult was when a friend’s cued up The Way of the Warrior Part 1 from DS9.

The *drama* of it all sucked me right in and I never looked back. Klingons are so extra lmao

Ag science is pretty! Went for a quick walk at the Central Experimental Farm (which is both a working farm and scientific research venue for improvement in agricultural methods and crops) #OttawaWalks

This godforsaken garden of mine finally produced a strawberry 🍓 🥹 Some great things can be done with minimal effort, it seems

May I have the kind of summer that this karaoke instrumental break image at Club Minotaure in Gatineau is having
