To the young man at Vegfest with the half manbun: You thought you were the first in line to get the coffee from Just Us!—but you weren’t. You actually cut right in front of me. I was in the line much longer than you. When the barista asked who was next, I went ahead and […]

Tire hero to the rescue
I was scrunched up, wrestling with the tire gauge and valve stem at the gas station. A young woman walked by and asked “All OK?” She saw from my face I was struggling. She plopped right down and joined in wrestling. I figured she worked there. After some minutes filling the tires and getting weird […]

Anti-“fascists’
Antifa really isn’t against fascists, at least no more so than the vast majority of people in western countries whose ancestors fought against them three-quarters of a century ago. Rather they have convinced themselves (and many others) that everyone even remotely similar to the individuals who bullied them or their friends and family members when […]

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
Attention voters: Ask yourselves this, as you try to figure out which political party deserves your support on October 21: Will your party really, truly attempt to address child poverty in this country? Health care? Climate change? Public safety? Veterans’ mental health? Electoral reform? Will it matter if the Conservatives form the next government, or […]

Coffee in Dartmouth
Can some Dartmouth coffee shop please sell coffee in bulk so I don’t have to get it in a plastic, non-recyclable bag every time?? I’m sure the downtown Darkside crowd would show up with their Tupperware. —Jeff N

To the guy whose heel got stepped on
Sorry for stepping on your heel! I was obnoxiously distracted by my phone, not paying attention to my surroundings, and didn’t even see you in front of me. I wanted to apologize, but you kept on walking and had headphones in. Hope your heel is healthy and your shoes are not scuffed up. —Distracted Student

Can’t even hear my own music!
I wanted to take a moment out of my busy schedule to lambast the food truck that has been acoustically assaulting me these past few weeks. All the food trucks I have encountered around the HRM are for the most part nice and quiet, yet you folks feel the need to drag around a small […]

Ready to drop your pitchforks yet?
Toxic callout culture mob mentality “warriors”—are you ready to drop your pitchforks yet? Callout culture is ending, and everyone now notices how every time your group disagrees with people or has conflict, they’re cancelled. YOU are scarier to people in the community than the people you cancel, but people are too afraid of your social […]

The shitty lover!
Responsible polyamory is NOT: Agreeing to be “open” and then not seeing or speaking to your partner for weeks, only to show up at her birthday party while she’s trying to run things and casually mention, “hey love you lots I’m feeling frisky again I’m available for that now” and in the same breath, “oh […]

The power of laughter
Just another Tuesday evening, laughing with a friend on the #1. We probably looked like fools. But still, some of you accepted the memes we airdropped, and the laughter grew from just us two, to a community of passengers on transit as a whole. Some of you even airdropped memes back. We were all strangers, […]

To the carpenter/artist with the moves
Thanks again for being the right kind of weirdo! I’ve had the most emotionally draining week, and you made everything seem a little less bitter. If I weren’t happily coupled I would have gladly let you hit on me. Perhaps in another dimension my doppleganger gave you a ride home and her number. In this […]

Share the sidewalk!
Here in Nova Scotia our populace is still small enough that we extend courtesy to those around us, especially on the sidewalks. I understand if you come from a place where this is not the case, but if you are a guest here, please leave your disregard for others at the door. —Neighbourhood Watcher
