It says something different that there are so many bent trampolines
hurricane, waspy
It says something about the place I live that whenever there's a news story about severe weather, people are warned very specifically to put away their trampolines. Not to stock up on emergency goods or secure loose items or board windows or anything, just the trampolines.

This one of those rare things, an online quiz actually worth doing. It’s a test to see if you can identify which social media accounts are real, and which were set up by disinformation organisations.

Hey internets! Any idea what this plant is? It was growing among my "I dug these up beside the house" alliums and I'm pretty sure it's something I planted on purpose, probably an herb, but I can't remember what it is. Doesn't taste or smell familiar.
Something I weirdly miss about my hometown is that the busiest road in the city is named Wonderland, from the name of an amusement park that closed 50 years ago

Re: cost; supporting indie developers also good
Masto self-isolation friends! Looking for fun things to do with fellow isolated friends, like online versions of board games, or just fun online games appealing to a wide audience, ideally at not too much cost. Things like Ticket To Ride, Carcassonne, Catan, or maybe just games that are playable over Skype that we haven't thought of.
What are your faves?

Hey everyone! Post more pics of your sprouting plants and flowering things!
My garden is still under a quarantine's worth of snow and probably will be for a few more weeks. Your baby plants are a lovely breath of spring!
CBC Radio has an "emoji expert" on the air, who just described 😂 as "sweat smile" and I can't unsee it
crows, animal abuse, corvids not covid
Last weekend a group of high school students marched in Charlottetown in defense of the local crow population, after several birds were brought to the local veterinary college with gunshot wounds.
The kids are alright.
