The new Canadian passport design is incredible, and even more so under UV light.

The scenes are Canadian landscapes. One has wind turbines. My work is done. I am proud.

I knew you was good people ...

Henhouse Five Plus Too (with In The Mood) are the basis for my ADHD chicken chorus.

Very muppety. I'm surprised that Orriel didn't contribute to that show.

My head-chickens originally came from "In The Mood" by the Henhouse Five Plus Too, circa 1978

Completely unrelated to chickens, or cats: you probably haven't heard Brute Force's "King Of Fuh", which is neither big nor clever: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3ZV...

Orriel - a hugely talented soprano - did produce her own version of "Memory", but since it was from Cats, it sounded, uh, like this: Orriel Smith "CatOratura" meows "Memory" from Cats — www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxpY...

The ADHD Chicken Chorus in my head woke me up belting out their version of "Memory" from the stage show "Cats". But if you must hear one chicken-related tune today, make it Orriel Smith's Lakme's "Flower Duet". No-one has ever performed it quite like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAiU...

No, I haven't for years. My assistive tech role dried up in 2021.

I presented at A11yTO Gaming once, tho

said little kid, said shark costume. Everyone was smiling as they came off the arrivals ramp

a family group with one adult and two children. The smaller child, in the centre, is wearing an inflatable shark costume and has their arms (well, fins) raised as if dancing about.

There are two older adults in the background, unrelated, looking in a different direction

tbh, I didn't think this much sugar and butter could fit in a baking pan and leave room for apples, but here we are anyway...

I saw so many letters like that when I worked for a dictionary publisher. The oddest ones were the few that sent us lists of "words of the devil" that we must remove, but left out explanations why.

(The only word I remember was "bridge". And yes, the letter was hand-written in green ink)

Somewhere between the third and seventh beep. Depends how quickly I can find the battery stash.

Put it this way: my partner was tutoring over Teams and the student had a beeping smoke alarm in their residence. I changed all of our batteries and wondered why it wouldn't stop
