My mom just destroyed me.

A text chat. Allison sends her mom a selfie at a Fall Out Boy concert.

Allison: In the tent for Fall Out Boy. It wasn’t a phase mom!
Mom: Your boy band
Allison: They are a serious pop punk band mom. They helped define the genre.
Mom: What ever

Tired: all blue and white plates
Wired: red numbers
Inspired: bear shaped licence plate

British Columbia licence plate. Very blue.

Nova Scotia licence plate. All blue, with a ship on it.

The only correct answer for the licence plate redesign is #2 (red letters)
Picture plates are hard to read (esp. with snow), and blue writing+blue numbers are currently used by at least 4 other provinces.

Alberta’s options for the licence plate redesign: 6 are on picture backgrounds with blue numbers, one is white with blue numbers and writing, and one is red numbers with blue writing on a white background.

My main pic on tinder was me dressed as Mr. Bean, and tbh I got WAY more super likes than when I was using my normal pictures.

This would get you an excessive speed ticket on Stoney trail in Calgary, which has a speed limit of 100. There is absolutely no reason that personal motor vehicles should be able to go above 150 km/hr.

It’s the worst for Google. Google AI always has to assume I meant something else or will literally take the worst spelling error of my life at face value, there’s no in between.

I hand make my Halloween costume every year, and I am NOT ready for it to be this close!

Isn’t everything really boring to play as a bassist? 😜

Jk. Ghostbusters is boring, but you then get the chance to yell “Busting makes me feel good!” So it’s worth it.

I have stricter conflict of interest and gift acceptance policies at my job than the premier of our province. I have zero decision making or managerial responsibilities, I am literally at the bottom of a chain. And people who want “smaller government” don’t see an issue.

There’s definitely not a legally binding piece of paper that presumably outlines exactly where he wants all his possessions of value to end up. Surely all of his closer next of kin will understand this justification.

That’s my birthday according to my dentist’s office! They input the month and date backwards.

There are like..so many. But I did once get locked into the Observatory during a shelter in place. So we “sheltered” in the domes, doing the observing that we were going to do anyways.

Well, the two did try really hard to make it a comedy then.

Omg quoted 🤩

The communal experience was a huge part of it. Groundling tickets were less than £15, and I think it’s the better option if you are physically able to stand. The energy between the cast and the crowd was incredible, and the experience was a highlight of our time in London.

Allison, a ginger woman in a Navy Arsenal hoodie, is standing and smiling in the reconstructed Globe theatre in front of the iconic stage and surrounded by others in the crowd.

We were watching the news at my parents house, and apparently 73% of Gen Z Canadians want to start their own business.

Which uh… isn’t really sustainable if pursued. Unless everyone is actually just an independent contractor.

Our Juliet was fully aware of being a petulant teenager, and it was glorious.

We saw Romeo and Juliet at Shakespeare’s Globe, and it’s crazy how much more sense it made with a live audience and the Shakespearean actors. I don’t remember laughing ever while reading the play, but we laughed a lot and had a lot of fun even though it was a tragedy

Don’t spoil the end of Love is Blind, but I want Edmond to react to all future seasons.

Allison🇨🇦 & The Blowfish @allistronomy.bsky.social · 2d

I feel like the number one rule of Love is Blind is to only go for someone who is immediately connected with just you. Like has it ever worked out when someone has numerous choices, other than Barnett? It only worked because Amber was #1 and would not have settled for being a second choice.

Cyclist boyfriend took the batteries out of his Garmin pedals to put them in the cat’s laser pointer. He says that it’s because it’s indoor bike season, but I think he’s playing cool about the fact he might love the cat as much as he loves his bike.

Getting in the habit of just buying myself stuff and then giving it to my fiancé to give to me as a Christmas gift. He can sign various family members to give it to me if he wants, but I need to order the Oilers lululemon half zip ASAP because it sold out last year

Visiting family and I know there’s this idea that little dogs are yappy brats, but they have a Pomeranian and he’s the greatest little dog. He’s being carried upside down by his owner’s granddaughter, just totally chill and happy to be held.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But when I became grown, I put away childish things. Then when I became a bit more grown, I rebought those same childish things from a vintage reseller and kinda don’t know how to feel about it
