Today is Geek Pride Day. In honour of that, I am going to be playing video games all day, proudly put on my glasses, and wear my Lt. Uhura uniform. Always remember, jocks get fat, geeks get rich.

Just saw a fabulous movie and it gave me an interesting idea for a First Nations version- THE WENDIGO WEARS DORTHY GRANT?!?!?!

@TinaConlon That's what it said.

@TheDHTaylor Home made??

I’m at a farmer’s market and this coffee place offering Mexican chocolate is offering a Jaguar hot chocolate made with “home made jaguar milk”. Okay….

My partner has a rule, a philosophy, a mantra: Coffee first. Life second.

@ReelNatives Sauna.

There’s an exercise club on my Rez that advertises itself as Pow wow cardio. I guess you start with traditional dance and sweat your way up to Fancy/Shawl. And I guess you work your way down into smaller hoops for the hoop dancing.

It seems "mohawk" is trending on X. Upon investigation, its all about hundreds of Mohawk haircuts, different colours and accessories. I myself wear an Anishnaabe hair style, its cool, flat and smells vaguely of otters.

@HRHLou A dreamcatcher.

@TheDHTaylor What do YOU wear as work out duds for Pow Wow Cardio?

@DavidSc67360929 I'm more worried about the moose nose in the smoothie.

@TheDHTaylor Gonna be hard to get the pickerel into the protein smoothie.

Moose nose is harder.

Today in 1535, French explorer Jacques Cartier leaves France on his second voyage of discovery to Newfoundland with three ships. A die-hard Habs fan from his first trip, he did not want to miss the playoffs.

Renowned Cree cellist Cris Dirksen passed away on the weekend. I’ve had the opportunity to meet and work with her a few times. She was amazing.

@MarFi43845848 It was custom ordered.

@TheDHTaylor They paint it ??

Thinking of writing a novel along the lines of THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GREY. In it, the older and more depraved I get, the worse the picture on my Indian Status Card looks.

So many settlers seem unwilling to hear our side of history, focused on believing we were unlearned savages. I once spent 20 minutes explaining how our ancestors traded extensively in crypto-fur.

@ReelNatives @TheDHTaylor Curve Lake is too far away (and possibly in the Caribbean, based on Drew's photos and their descriptions) for me to saunter up there over a grammar issue. Besides, even though I love Star Trek TNG, I'm a Star Wars guy at heart. Pew pew! Zwing! Beep boop beep! (asthma noises)

Waiting in line for corn soup at the Hiawatha Pow Wow. If it was a Star Trek convention, it would be called Gorn Soup. Sorry, this is how my mind works.

@ReelNatives @ShanePennells Shane knows where I live…

@TheDHTaylor @ShanePennells But this is Shane’s expertise!😉

@ReelNatives @ShanePennells Quit oppressing me with western concepts of proper grammar.

@TheDHTaylor “If it WERE a Star Trek convention” uses subjunctive. Here it refers to the mood used to describe things you wish were true or had hoped would happen. Use WERE instead of was, even though was is the simple past-tense form for singular subjects. cc: @ShanePennells the expert!

Today in 1775, the America's Continental Congress bans trade with Canada. Deja Trump?
