Kevin SmithPeople who live in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VictoriaBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VictoriaBC</a> or <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Saanich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Saanich</a>, how do you pronounce "Boleskine Road"?People from elsewhere (especially Scotland) feel free to reply but please don't vote. This is about the road connecting Harriet Road to Saanich Road near the border between Victoria and Saanich. It is not about the area along the shore of Loch Ness even if that's what the road is named after.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/yyj" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yyj</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pronounciation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pronounciation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a>

Derò 🇨🇦<a href="https://sunny.garden/@SuffolkBadger" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@SuffolkBadger</a> Last year, no flys. Some previous years had made the carrots unusable. I’ve a light cloth I can put over them, but either I forget or too lazy…. Early warm/wet spring for me in <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/VictoriaBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VictoriaBC</a> this year, lots of seedlings up already.

Ellipsis... 🇨🇦The trillums are blooming, which is nice in and of itself, but is also an indictor that the spring fungi should be arriving soon. If I'm lucky, there'll be some morels and verpas where I found them last year around this time.Also, I learned recently that there’s not two morphs of Trillium: white and purple. But rather that the flowers start out white and change to purple over their lifecycle.<a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/mosstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mosstodon</a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/fungi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fungi</a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/mushtodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mushtodon</a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/victoriabc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#victoriabc</a>

Ms. Que BanhPhoto reference: <a href="https://beige.party/@PhoenixSerenity/114248835825926132" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://beige.party/@PhoenixSerenity/114248835825926132</a>In 2010, I agreed to do both cast & crew roles for my fellow filmmaker friend at the time, Darryl. I was production manager, assistant art director, locations manager & craft services organizer for crew. As cast, played a scarface Asian gang boss lady. It was for a horror thriller indie with zombies.We shot most of it at my friend's old kung-fu club in Chinatown, downtown <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VictoriaBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VictoriaBC</a>. In between takes me, Gloria & a few others were playing with the weighted punching bag & the speedboxing bag. I did real well on the speedboxing. I absolutely sucked at the weighted punching bag. Could barely get it to move. Gloria taught me a few fast techniques. I tried them out & was super giddy that my punches were landing where I aimed & they moved the weighted bag! Then, I got cocky & tried a harder punch move. Didn't get out of the way fast enough. The weighted bag came swinging back at me faster than expected & I was KOed. Flat on my back with 10 people looking down at me & waving hands in front of my face & trying to give me water.
