I couldn’t come up with anything but you nailed it!

I said this to my boss. We’re in BC and work in the marine industry. She’s really worried about, well everything, and doesn’t know how she can help. I told her we work on boats, we all have boats, there will be a new Underground Railroad, and where we are will mean boats. I’m not letting people die down there if I can help get them out.

It’s because they are washed in a different way than the rest of the world.

That’s interesting as PL-259 is the standard for marine use. I wish we had something better

I really love that you did that. I hope some kid (or an adult that’s a kid at heart) found it! Imagine how stoked they were!

Oooh! Thanks for the hot tip!

Absolutely agree! I very much hope for the same with the democrats down south, but I am not getting my hopes up at all on that count. Up here I see a batter path for that.

I’m ok with this. I’ve voted NDP every election except for one, to remove Harper and get proportional representation. I’ve been very worried about vote splitting letting PP win so this feels to me like his way of broadcasting that it’s ok to vote liberal if that’s what we need to do. I’m lucky that I’m in a fairly secure NDP riding, but I will be voting strategically if needed. I think Carney will do a good job, and the NDP can be the push from the left to influence him, and honestly that’s not a bad place to be in. These are weird and uncertain times, we need a major trouncing of the cons, however that looks. Very much like when I voted liberal the last time, only way more extreme! He sees the writing on the wall and I just hope they retain enough seats to make a difference.

Yessss, you’re spot on about refusing to be cold to look good. I used to always say as I saw the people downtown in the winter going out to the bars with barely anything on, style knows no temperature. If that’s the case then I’m the most unstylish person ever!

Goth-lite (no makeup or dresses), hippy, grown up grunge (with a bit of cyberpunk). My wardrobe is a palette of greys, black, and dark jewel tones, with bright pops of colour, usually the accessory. Like mustard yellow wool scarf or cherry red gum boots. I definitely like a utilitarian look, but with a twist. For example, my steel toed boots look like leather converse high tops. Prioritize comfortable over fashionable always lol. Lots of natural fibers, I don’t like the feel of synthetic fibers on my skin but do have fleeces and outerwear that are synthetic.

It’s taken me a long time to be comfortable in what I wear, really enjoying it now.

Edit: I keep thinking of different words haha

I like to be prepared!! The fountain pen gets used mostly for writing in my planner, or little sketches. TBH, I don’t use it as much as the bic though. It’s ridiculous, but I don’t want to mess it up and I’m hard on things.

Bags with pockets haha. Seriously though, just having a bunch of small bags that are specific to what’s inside them. Then I can just grab the bags I need and off I go.

I like being able to help someone if they need something, I don’t even use tampons or pads, but other people do.

A bit late.... (sh.itjust.works)
 

But Merry Christmas from Diesel!

They didn’t care about the tree until presents went under it. Then that was the place to be.
