Ya'll just sitting around pissing on stuff? and you wonder why we won't let you be our 51st state. smh
Given our lack of interest in being the 51st state, I don't think this is much of a problem.😁 If pissing is enough to avoid that fate, I will piss away. I am on a drug that causes frequent urination so am well-prepared. 🤪

There won't be much work going on here during the match.
LOL. I have some footie fans on my team and we just happen to have a TV screen in our room for monitoring the network. Somehow, though, football matches keep showing up on it😁. Canada's next match is on Saturday against Morocco so no work impact there.
It's Canada Day up Canada way on the first day of July...
Yep, it's that time of year again. Canada turns 169 years today (well, using the common measure of passage of the British North America Act, there's arguments to be made for some other dates). Where I am, it's sweltering (headed for 34C) and humid. So my Canada Day celebrations will likely involve being indoors and watching something on TV or computer.
In honour of Canada Day, we'll fill up Bertha with Kicking Horse Grizzly Claw dark roast. Teas are Canadian Breakfast and Vinyl Cafe (which honours a famous Canadian radio show). And for munchies? Bear claws and butter tarts, of course.
For music, we got lots to choose from. Here's some classic Canadian rock.
And one of our leading current bands, Vancouver's Spiritbox, three time Grammy nominees and a bunch of Juno noms, too.
Gotta love the USA and the second amendment crowd. I love visiting the country but the gun fetishism alternates between f-ing scary and just plain weird. Give me our fairly strict gun registration and licensing regime any day (in fact, give me the gun registry that got shut down a couple decades ago). It irritates me that we have American style gun fetishists up here who keep trying to nerf it. If they want second amendment rights, they can move to the US and leave those of us who like guns locked up in a cabinet alone.
I think most of humanity would be happy if HE fell off the Earth at this point. I almost dread the news some days. I hear the Supremes ruled in favour of mail-in ballots that arrive after the election date so that's a small kick in the slats for him and GOP.

Unfortunately we’ve built a society that’s overdependent on driving
Yeah, having been to societies that are less so (a lot of Europe and Asia), I kind of hate this aspect of ours. I would love to take transit to work but it would literally take me three buses with associated lags for transfers. Probably an hour at least while I can do it in 20-25 minutes driving. Even my son's old high school, which I can drive to in probably 10 minutes, took him like half an hour and a transfer to get home by bus. I drove him to school during those years since I pass it on my way to work. If I lost my license or car for some reason, I'd probably be making Uber quite rich.
We don't even have formal separation of church and state in our Constitution, just freedom of religion, and I don't think it would fly here in 2026. That said, we do have publicly funded Catholic schools here in Ontario who do have religion classes but that's a special case (there's a story, it's a legacy of our founding). Public schools are now religion-free, at least in formal curriculum (but in the 19th century, that system was basically the Protestant counterpart to the Catholic system and we were still saying the Lord's Prayer in opening exercises up until after I graduated). Christian and sometimes Muslim students do have associations in some schools and boards, but that's extracurricular.
Now, that said, non-doctrinal teaching about (not "of" but "about") the Bible would have a place if you're studying Western and Middle Eastern history. It's been an extremely influential set of documents. But that's a whole different kettle of fish from what Texas is proposing.
My mother (died at 58) never learned. She was a housewife while we were little and when she went back to working outside the home, it was reachable by transit. But she was also of another generation where women were generally less likely to drive. My aunt (Dad's little sister) didn't, either. I imagine there's more pressure on women to learn nowadays. My daughter-in-law was late learning (after she married my son at 22) but she did eventually learn.
But really, if you can get everywhere you need to go by Uber or transit or something, I don't see it as a necessity. I will probably drop one of our two cars when I retire and don't need to commute anymore. If my wife needs the car, I have other ways to get around.

What you can do that won't be in violation are:
adding the story in your Favourites by clicking the favourite button on the story just below Like. As you said, there are very few that you want to keep. That will ease your navigation should you want to go back to a particular story.
Bookmark the story. You can even create a Bookmarks folder for those stories for ease of access.
Good ideas both. Doesn't help if, as often seems to happen, the author deletes the story or themselves but definitely the recommended method of retaining a story for future reading/re-reading.
I like this a lot. It's a place I have gone with stories before but not in a while so I hope to be able to put something together.
For inspiration, here is one of my favourite songs about art and creativity. Well, one of my favourite songs, period. This performance also introduced to me the wonderful musical artist who has been my favourite singer for the past five years or so.
From the lyrics (by Tuomas Holopainen):
It was the night before
When all through the world
No words, no dreams, then one day
A writer by a fire
Imagined all of Gaia
Took a journey into a child-man's heart
A painter on the shore
Imagined all the world
Within the snowflake on his palm
A dream of poetry
A canvas of awe
Planet Earth falling back into the stars

Who knows? Maybe someday. I might be vers, so maybe you could pump me and tickle my prostate, making me squirt into Hasabrain. Fun to think about.
This is starting to sound like some kind of story that miscreant website LushStories would publish, eh. 😜
Another cherry to be popped here, but I also suspect I'm a top so maybe I could take both of yours. We three should meet up sometime for an MMM, perhaps. 😎
FYI, Pride doesn't necessarily end on June 30. The city where I live has its festival in July for logistical reasons (many members are also involved with the massive Pride festival in Toronto, which climaxes (heh heh) this weekend). And the local Pride committee does events year round, even if the summer festival is the main focus.
I started on a sequel to my two-parter "Paris Bares All". Getting Paris back with her ex-fiance (she dumped him in an incident described in part one) and seeing where it goes. He's got a new girl now, too, or at least that's how far I have gotten; him having sex with a friend that he's dating.
Welcome to my profile! I have been around on Lush for about a decade, though this account and profile are new. I do not write erotica as much as I use...
