i'm talking that toy block, developing sense of agency shit.
i challenge you to roll three sixes for no reason.
In 2019, a large chandelier was installed underneath Granville Street
Bridge, to aesthetically enhance the area. It was controversial
at the time - a symbol of what's wrong with luxury condo development.1
I used to work near Granville Island, so when I visited Vancouver in
early 2025, I wanted to walk around my old stomping grounds and pay the
chandelier a visit.
I walked to where I remembered it being installed, and discovered it had
been removed, presumably for maintenance reasons. Disappointed, I went
home and lamented to my sister.
smerching is when you're looking for an emoji.
usually we smerch because we can't remember which drawer the emoji we're
looking for is stored in (is 💦 nature or human?), but sometimes also
because we're not quite sure which pictogram best conveys the tone of what
we're trying to express, and even less frequently because the emoji picker
we're using isn't on the latest unicode version and isn't showing 🫨 even
though we swear we've looked everywhere.
