someone mentioned that the loss of twitter would be a huge blow to government and emergency communications, and all of a sudden all i could was that this is the platform the RCMP considered adequate comms during Portapique. christ i hope they’ve figured out emergency alert by now

me: "maybe we should buy a lotto ticket"

engaging in my time-honoured pre-storm tradition of flicking thru Nova Scotia Webcams and playing eye-spy for all the stuff (picnic tables etc) that ain't gonna be where it's been left right now by the time this all blows over

Fireworks a few times a year: meh
Fireworks randomly dozens of times a year: cut this shit out

[oopsabird for abolition and LAND BACK @oopsabird]

[oopsabird for abolition and LAND BACK @oopsabird]

@LilOldAl it seemed to be down that way, there were people standing around the street (which points right down to the pier) looking down there by the time I got out but of course that was exactly when they all stopped lol

maybe somebody in my neighbourhood was just really excited about the Mariners walk-off win

[oopsabird for abolition and LAND BACK @oopsabird]

@dawnie_pre few seconds after it started I could hear all the dogs in the area going off. never had fireworks that I could *feel* from my apartment before, usually they’re much further off

[oopsabird for abolition and LAND BACK @oopsabird]

[oopsabird for abolition and LAND BACK @oopsabird]
