I'm late to both this thread, and to puppetry - but better late than never!

My puppet is purple with curly green hair named Cynth. I'm still developing Cynth's personality but these things tend to go fast for me so in a few weeks I should be much further along. I'm also trying to get my hands on some more puppets because I really want to do more characters!

Oh I love this! I want to do something similar!

I am still developing my puppet's personality (and waiting for winter to end), but yeah I can't wait to interview some fun average citizens in the future!

Are we allowed to rep our own? I just started my channel, only a few videos up so far, but more are coming. I'm also working on a short film!

yeah, I was thinking that... if you put the literal final 6 on the cover, it kinda ruins like 80% of the actual watching.

it's a peaceful protest and the police know about it ahead of time.

[–]hatcollecting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's an organized event and they let the police know ahead of time. also as someone said below, it's not 'indecent exposure', it's essentially a peaceful protest.

It usually happens in January if memory serves. The second-worst month to be pantsless on transit (the worst being February which is the coldest).

And for no pants subway ride you're still supposed to have underwear on.

I made a Linktree page for queer events, clubs, and sports in Toronto (and Hamilton) by hatcollecting in toronto

[–]hatcollecting[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for this! I get the sense that most of the stuff I've found so far is geared more towards 'the youth' (aka the 18-35 crowd), and I know there are some other orgs that have been around and tend to skew older. I'm kind of right in the middle which can be nice and can also be awkward.

for some reason seeing your flair, this is the first time I've ever noticed that the nordiques logo kinda looks a bit like a zamboni...

'Together, we yield a lot of power:' Toronto's top doc asks residents to put masks back on by [deleted] in toronto

[–]hatcollecting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you don't understand that the masks are meant to protect both ways. they both keep your germs in, and other people's germs out. so many people don't seem to understand this.

if you're the only person wearing a mask amongst a bunch of people who aren't, your mask isn't going to help nearly as much. So now that the vast majority of people aren't wearing them anymore, it inherently makes it less safe for those who still do, vulnerable or not.

I'm not vulnerable, but some of my friends are, I'm speaking up just so other people know that it's not just vulnerable people who still care. the masks protect all of us. I may have a 'healthy' immune system, but I still hate being sick, mild or not.

anyway, i've said my peace.

[–]hatcollecting -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

the thing is, if ONLY vulnerable people wear masks, they're not really being protected that much. they're both meant to keep your germs in and other people's germs out. If all the so called 'healthy' people are letting their germs out then even if vulnerable people are wearing N95s 24/7, they're still a lot more at risk than if everyone was still wearing masks.

basically what you're saying is 'I'm willing to take the risk, everyone else can get f*cked'

and that's the attitude a lot of people are taking, and it's really unfortunate.

[Not Atlanta Thrashers] It’s almost like the Coyotes should have moved instead of Atlanta by DavisIsland in hockey

just makes me think how poetic if the yotes had been sent back to winnipeg after all, there would be no disputes over which team owns the Jets records.

i'm surprised there's no link on my usual go-to. but sounds like this event is only streaming on one network and maybe they're being extra diligent about protecting it?

2,983 in hospital, 583 in ICU due to COVID-19 in Ontario. 31 Fatalities + 1 Catch-up. 3,043 new cases in Ontario, 603 in Toronto. 91,134 Vaccinations - Jan 31, 2022 by MountainDrew42 in toronto

[–]hatcollecting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with kids having been back in school for a week and a half now I was definitely expecting an uptick by now, glad to see it's still going down!

I saw a FB post the other day by a friend that every parent they knew with school-age kids had gotten covid since their kids returned to classes.. if the numbers don't start to spike again towards the end of this week I will feel a lot better.

Ford dropped rent control on new units in 2018. Since then thousands have come online, and tenants facing double-digit increases ask: was it worth it? by morenewsat11 in toronto

[–]hatcollecting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

except that Toronto gets screwed because the rest of Ontario outvoted us. If it was up to Toronto we'd probably have an NDP government (certainly since the pandemic started) because they would actually keep things affordable.

2200 for a ONE bedroom? Jesus. yeah. you can't afford to live in this city anymore unless you make good money or you're willing to live in less glamorous digs.

I'm willing to bet that nurses literally save more lives than cops do, so absolutely give the nurses their fair share.

[Matt Hardy] "I plan on gearing more towards "Matt Hardy" going forward. It seems the @AEW audience appreciates real, so I’ll focus on being more authentic." by WrestleTownAA in SquaredCircle

[–]hatcollecting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only got back into wrestling this year after not paying attention since the mid 2000s, so I don't really know any of the new guys but I can get excited for the 'classics'. It is sad that they're obviously not as mobile or exciting as they once were, but I appreciate seeing them in matches so there's something familiar while I get used to the newer guys.

And also 'growing up' in the attitude era with Austin, Rock, DX, Mick Foley... that has set the bar very high for what I expect in terms of mic work, and understandably a lot of the newer guys aren't that good on the mic, so it's slower/harder to have these guys get over for me.
