Come for the intermittent #BikeTooter and urbanism toots, suffer through my obsessions with music, food, and making things with my hands. Pogievangelist. From Vancouver, living in Ottawa. Twitter refugee from #OttBike and #OttPoli

Unless I say so in my post, I am almost certainly not asking for your unsolicited advice or for you to explain things to me, especially if we've literally never interacted before.

"The House could then sit until 12:30 a.m. on Monday, May 27, 2024."

So they're really going for a whole two months of extended sitting instead of two weeks heh. Maybe I should have waited until September for my assignment 💀

@stephanie What do you do when they're not sitting? Do you get leave?

@stephanie Ah, okay. That's not so bad! This is definitely the worst time of year as well as just before Christmas where they try to punish each other by making everyone sit foreverrrrrrrrr because they are smart special little boys and girls.

One of my least favourite things about Ottawa is that everyone expects you to have a car and be able to just drive to wherever to do whatever. Not my friends, but the general population. It's just so gross.

Like a weaving instructor I took a course from at Fabrications - already kind of a shit place to get to without a car - sent an email saying that there was a spot opened in a course she's teaching at a yarn studio.

But you go to the website for this whole-ass shop - a private studio, but with a physical studio somewhere - and there's no mention of where the hell the place IS. If it's a private home, fine, but can you tell me where abouts in the 2000+ km2 of Ottawa you're located? Sheesh.

Though I barely even need that information because there is a 90% chance the studio is in Farrhaven.

Though on the subject of Fabrications, it's a great shop, great people, but it annoys me to no end that they moved from Hintonburg to non-neighbourhood Carling/Churchill-ish for ❤parking❤ but of course they only meant car parking and there is no bike rack.

This makes me so fucking mad because my local small grocery store, the only place nearby to get fruit and vegetables, closed in December over a liquor license dispute - their square footage wasn't large enough to be considered a grocery store!!!! - and now the government is rolling out liquor sales to corner stores. Come the fuck on. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/alcohol-sales-convenience-stores-ontario-1.7213546

And the additional irony to this is that now we almost certainly also won't have anywhere nearby to buy beer, wine, and ready to drink cocktails because there are no real stores.
