Last night's view from the Regional as I waited for the last bus of the night to deliver me home.

That shelter is on the wrong side of the street—that's the second-to-last stop (the last is UNBSJ) and no one gets picked up there, only dropped off.

I was not expecting to see this when I looked out my window this morning. ❄️

Some lighthearted reading for November. ⚰️💀 #BookSky

Seasonal affective disorder on top of Asperger's Syndrome (yes, I know, it's problematic to call it that—I typically call myself an aspie and that seems less likely to get me the side eye than using the full name) is not fun. I made myself shower and dress and got out of this house for a bit.

A month of melancholy has arrived. November is when I slow down, become more introverted (if such a thing is possible), and generally avoid the rest of humanity. I would hibernate if it was financially feasible.

Fall colours are fading in #RockwoodPark.

Prince William Street is unusually busy for a Monday afternoon even if it is a holiday. The music is courtesy of a duo entertaining patrons of the Pub Down Under.

A beauty of a day in #uptownSaintJohn with three cruise ships in port. (Sorry, American friends, but much of the uptown is closed for Thanksgiving.)

I'm happier for others than for myself this Thanksgiving but I am thankful for being outside in weather that finally resembles autumn in the Maritimes.

And I'm thankful for municipal parks within walking distance of my place.

I posted this on Threads and surprise surprise, no one is seeing it.

This rag was on a table at the Hickey Road (Saint John) Tim's. It's chock-full of COVID-denying, Freedumb Convoy-loving crap.

Stephen's big Saturday night plans: Tim's coffee and scrolling Bluesky.

I went for a walk along this foggy, dimly lit street (I love the overhanging leaves and branches—there are several Saint John streets that have overhanging branches and it adds so much character to the neighbourhood). This is typical Saint John weather—fog, clouds, mist... It's like film noir.

It's been two hours since I published that post and I'm still at home, caffeinated and stoned.

I do not want to waste this high by doomscrolling on my social media platforms so it's time to go for a walk—late at night is perfect because it's NOT HOT AND HUMID. 🥵

Huh, summer might have arrived after all.

Happy 29th birthday to the reigning, defending, undisputed Most Valuable Player of the National Football League, Joshua Patrick Allen.

Proof of (some) life, I guess. I did haul my ass out for some fresh air.
