#Caninetrovert. Misfit #Asian. #AvGeek. Clean diet saboteur. #Childfree. Pro-#DEI #TorontoBlueJays.
All dog accounts are welcome. RW red pill bigots are not. Fedizens who boost are COOL. If you must send noods, send #IndomieMiGoreng or #tonkotsuramen. #croissants over baguettes.
Profile pic is a #goldenretriever giving side-eye.

Hurricane M :mstdn:Dear followers,
Since this instance has been down, I've decided to open a new #Sharkey account bc of the limiting features here.
You can find me at melcl@sharkey.world
Edit: This will be a back-up account in the event of server disruption on this instance. I may use it for travel posts, but I haven't yet decided bc I've also opened a pxlfd.ca account.
I've been wanting to try out Sharkey for awhile.

Hurricane M :mstdn:๐งต /2 I boost what I like or find interesting, so thanks for the follow & or boosts. More than likely to sprinkle your timeline with dog retoots.
The fediverse is like a big ol' thrift shop. You never know what you're gonna come across.
I tend to curate my feed so that it's an assortment of #news, #dog bots, #food, #aviation, #travel, #weather, #science, #politicalcartoons, #art, #photography, and other random miscellany.

Hurricane M :mstdn:Is anyone like me & enjoys certain #cuisines depending on the #season?
I prefer warming #Indianfood & #comfortfood during the fall/winter months & only really crave burgers during the summer, it must be the association with outdoor grilling.
I'm not a salad person (unless it's pasta of course) but crave them more in the summer, otherwise I'll choose soup everytime you have to wear a jacket for outside.
I love #poke all the time, but it's a winner in the warmer months.

Hurricane M :mstdn:I love sitting outside on my balcony watching the monsoon-like downpour & seeing peeks of blue sky through the clouds. I can already feel the humidity lifting. We needed these summer rainshowers.
#Torontowx
Hurricane M :mstdn:The folding chairs & cot I leave covered with plastic on my apt. balcony shows so much disintegration from just being outside year round (when not in use in the summer like now), that it was a given that the #Oceangate #Titan submersible would similarly fail after being left out over winter, directly next to the sea, in St. John's Newfoundland.
Peoples' winter tires are stored better than that thing was.
Hurricane M :mstdn:Being told to "pick your battles" I read as my flag to disengage.
Suddenly the close friend who took stress leave from work has the right idea.
Hurricane M :mstdn:I love Emily & Connor nerding out together over English afternoon tea on their 1st date.
They are proof that 1st impressions deserve a 2nd chance.
#loveonthespectrumus #s2e6
Hurricane M :mstdn:The beauty of #Loveonthespectrum is the underlying message of #keepitsimple, keep it in the moment.
Hurricane M :mstdn:I started watching #loveonthespectrumus with my friend who recently got diagnosed with #autism. We love watching reality shows like Queer Eye, so even though she's already seen it, when I said I was curious & hadn't yet, we dove right in.
It's endearing to watch everyone's journey & experiences.
We both recognized that the showrunner's choices infantalize many of the participants.
I appreciate the coach Jennifer Cook's support & approach with the families & participants.
The actual date settings & experiences everyone got to go on were impressive backdrops - hello Kenya!
You can't help but see a little of yourself in all the participants.
Hurricane M :mstdn:Putting a request out there for a #goldenretriever #bot that just posts random pics of golden retrievers. I already follow ones for capybaras & Shiba inus.
Goldens are the sunshine breed & in these trying times, having a smiling or derpy golden in your timeline can be healing.
Let's make it happen!

Hurricane M :mstdn:2025 #Corgi Races
My friend sent me this as she's in #Seattle.
I think the #corgis need their own starting jingle starting horn like the Triple Crown. ๐บ

Love it! I would TOTALLY attend this if it was held locally.
I didn't realize #ESPN 8 #TheOcho was a real thing, lol

Hurricane M :mstdn:#Canadians can support #PBS too!
My dad & I enjoy watching #FindingYourRoots with #HenryLouisGatesJr so I'm going to look into getting the BTPM Passport so we can watch all the episodes. I'm in #Toronto so the closest local PBS station is #Buffalo.
You may want to check if the PBS stn closest to you offers Passport access to Cdns.
