  • Monday we went to the last day of the Halifax Busker Festival. We saw parts of many performances, but the highlight was The Farmer's Daughter, a one woman show featuring lasso, hoola hoops, milk jug walking, and comedy. She even had a trading card.

  • Saturday we walked around Quinpool to take in some of the new murals. The street is getting a bit brighter each year.

  • Today I took Celestine on Bridgewalk, a closing of the bridge beside our home to traffic. She was thrilled to get a balloon dog, a bridge passport, freezies, and snacks. Events like these are hopeful little glimpses of what would be possible if we exorcised automobiles from our city.

  • Celestine is taking part in a library reading program this summer and reached the midpoint with 50/100 books read or learning experiences done. She was happy to receive this sloth keychain as her reward from the library.

  • We were a bit early to the library this morning so Celestine wanted to stop at Vandal for donuts. I got the vegan blue Marge and she got the pink Homer.

  • I collected my Princess with a Cursed Sword story together on my blog, @apollo@apollolemmon.com. Playing through the game was a fun experience for the past two weeks.

  • Today's new episode of Podcastle is a reading of "Godzilla as a Young Man Named Mike" by E. M. Faulds. It's the closing story if their Disability Pride & Magic Month series and is a defiant and heartbreaking story pushing back on ableist policies stripping away supports and rights.

  • @jvw I loved this story when I listened last week. Definitely a highlight of my speculative fiction intake this year.
