Heading out at the crack of dawn to work outside all day. This is a good omen, right?

@gnomon Boo.

@nev I spent most of the first X-Men movie going, "Oh, yeah, it's supposed to be New York."

This "little free art gallery" sat empty for a while, even the children's drawings were gone, so I spruced it up with a few photos. When I came back a few days later, the top one was gone, but there was a brand new paper wasp nest inside, complete with wasps!

People can't tell me that it's not possible to make the world accessible for disabled people, after the whole world has been made accessible to cars.

@gnomon @k8eb I've always* been of the opinion that it should be legal to key cars doing moving violations. So I whole-heartedly endorse the box of rocks proposal.

*Since walking up Bayview to the office since, like, 1997, where there are supposedly no right turns coming out of north Leaside at rush hour and hearing of more than one blind coworker getting hit.

W and I went to the "Owen Sound" ComiCon (part of a circuit around Ontario run by the same group). It was just merch tables, mostly collectibles. I was hoping for some indie comix but there was none of that. And so many fucking Funko Pops, ugh. At least there were a few artists selling art they actually made, plus one author selling his novels.

W got some stone skulls, so it wasn't a total waste of 10 bucks.

That's the face of a man who wouldn't turn a turtle over if it was on its back.
