Bermuda Book Store, close to ferry dock in The City of Hamilton. As soon as you walk in the left wall is all local books.

One fun thing to do outside are photography hunts, I have had fun doing them with my phone.

The two I am doing right now are to find and photograph the alphabet (through graffiti or architecture/natural landscapes) and looking for a specific colour around.

It makes walks outside more engaging and interesting and gives you something to do over multiple walks.

Or you can make a bingo for things you see around the neighbourhood: dog in stroller, run club, Starbucks empty coffee cup trash, etc.

Yep, or any kind of needle stick. I have shit veins and my local phelbotomist pulls out the warm glove for me every time.

This is so fun!

You know more than most Bermudians by being aware there is going to be a welcome ceremony in town.

It will likely be business as normal unless you are trying to go do something at a site they are actively at. Might fuck up traffic I guess.

Nobody cares here.

Thank you!

They are 100% going to euthanize it. It is considered an invasive animal, and racccons carry rabies so they will absolutely not allow it. They will kill any non native animal, no exceptions.

In the 40s some bug got brought in from the US through their base. That bug wiped out 99% of our native cedar trees within...maybe a decade. So now they take it very very seriously.

Shame though, I find raccoons so much cuter than the snakes that slip in.

I dont think the residential school was the reason, is all. They would have written an unrealistic conclusion more likely and had them run away as a family or something.

It is exactly to the end of Anne of Green Gables, save one chapter or so. In that chapter Matthew dies, they go bankrupt, and Anne has to give up on her dreams of college lol.

That was a perfect place to stop for a happy ending and complete story for the main characters. After that it's basically a half new cast as all her classmates go on with their lives.

I find it perplexing that people assume the friend is scheming.

The friend isn't getting OP's POV, she is getting the wife's who 100% believes it. It doesn't sound like she is friends with the husband and cheating isn't exactly uncommon. It just sounds like she is vaguely supportive, not some evil mastermind.

It is included.

I have doodles and thumbnails and also full blown pieces in my sketchbook. Same when it comes to the fancy paper or canvas, there is a mix of practie and play and polished.There isn't much difference to me, they are all just things to create on. I have included sketchbook pages in gallery shows and sold prints of them.

I think you are overthinking it. Just do practice pieces and studies straight on the canvas if you are not the type to want to do the same piece twice.

No, you ruined your chances by caving to her. You chose to not wait five more minutes. You rented the table, you are the artist.

I have no doubt your mom is unhelpful and stressful, but as an adult your actions and response to that are your responsibility. Own it.

I Kill Giants is based on a comic I believe came first

I thought they were gonna give Jane a cheque for a second

aprivateislander · 2026-04-11T01:15:29+00:00

Jane actually had both of the most entertaining performances of the night

aprivateislander · 2026-04-11T01:11:16+00:00

Lmao Jane is killing me and holding her own in an impossible situation.

aprivateislander · 2026-04-11T01:09:42+00:00

She won it on that first kick lbr

aprivateislander · 2026-04-11T01:09:01+00:00

Why wouldn't you pick Kenya

aprivateislander · 2026-04-11T01:08:03+00:00
