Canada Post reaches Indigenous communities and makes it possible to ship where it is cost prohibitive for other couriers. Do not fall for the propaganda. #cdnpoli #canlab

I was so excited when the 1931 Canadian census came out. I was hoping to find out where my deadbeat great grandfather had gotten to (he was not listed with his family and my great aunt had written about how he disappeared somewhere and left them to fend for themselves during that time). 1/2

A day late and a dollar short to the whole Rapture thing, but as I was driving today I saw a dapper older gentleman in a top hat and suit riding his bicycle on the sidewalk. A little while later I was driving behind an SUV with a vanity license plate that read: REPENT.

Guess I’m trapped.

Coworker: You’re left-handed, right? Me: Sooort of. Coworker: What? Are you left-curious? Me: I dabble in left-handedness.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Had my first cello lesson since mid-July and cried when my instructor asked how my summer has been. So there was that!

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

In bed before midnight because that’s what Pandora would have wanted.

Watch Out!

Thought I felt Pandora hop up on the bed this morning. I could sense her little footfalls padding halfway up the bed towards me and then she was gone. This must be like what a phantom limb feels like.

She was my little kitty familiar and shadow for 13 years minus a day. I never want to forget a thing about her. 🖤

Stupid grief thought of the day: Don’t lock the ghost kitty in the closet! I mean, how do you even check? Can’t they just breeze through walls and doors? I am still so sad.

Lord, what fools these tech bros be!

time for my new favorite tumblr post

a quick comic to dispel the demon of having not made a comic

I have finally abandoned satire and begun writing genuine travel advice in the Beaverton

Finally changing over my wardrobe from fall/winter to spring/summer. Using essential oils and casting warding spells to try and keep out the creepy crawlies and wee flippy flappies.

Apparently #tongueouttuesday is a thing and I guess I should show this very recent video of my kitty after she came home from the vet.

Recent work.

"use AI to summarize this email" no thank you, I'm trying to hold on to my ability to read long-form text without feeling my brain overheat like a cheap laptop booting up twelve Sims expansion packs

If I stand outside of my house long enough, I get cool free stuff from my neighbours. So far, I’ve received: - Onion bulbs - A mint plant - An air conditioner - Fancy picture frames And today, I got a giant brownie by proxy! Sister was standing outside and ended up with it, but she’s gluten averse.

someday when the village children gather around to ask me what it was like to live through 2025 I am simply going to start a large and uncontrollable forest fire that rapidly consumes everything they hold dear while they are powerless to do anything but watch

Now this is the sort of thing that a government should be doing. I am lucky enough to have benefits, but everyone should have access to affordable dental care. It’s giving kindness instead of cruelty.

This election is anxiety-inducing, but at least I have something to knit while the results start rolling in.

Friend: That’s nice! Where is it from? Me: It’s from Bluesky. I’ll re… blue… squeet it.

In Slovakia, they have strange Easter traditions: - Burning an effigy of Morena and then throwing her into water - Young men throwing cold water on female relatives and gently beating them with willow switches — y’know, for beauty, health, and fertility reasons… 1/2

Played “Mommy and Daddy” with my friend’s 4yo. We had a baby that was a toy car and her name was “Caboose.” I worked as a builder and 4yo worked at the place where you “get stuff done.” What a fever dream!

Good morning Bluesky !

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Happy #autismacceptancemonth ! Here's an old (like 10 years now lol) comic that explains the Autism Spectrum- still much needed, as I continue to see people- and most recently a book read out on bbc radio 4- think you're either 'mildly' or 'severely' autistic. Please give it a read 💖

Do not putte a tariff on the penguins thei neede those tuxedos

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

I made this as a goof a few weeks ago, and thought I may as well release it into the world. Fare thee well, Lowly Yaldabaoth!

Beautiful new music!

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently. I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

Ah, the urge to scream into a pillow when your coworker balks at doing a job assigned to them (even though they just proved it’s possible) and won’t stop trying to convince you of the futility of the endeavour when they could have easily started the process in the time they were naysaying.

And today the spray-tanned monkfish said “the Conservative leader is stupidly no friend of mine” in a childish effort to use reverse psychology on Canadian voters (lately the Conservatives have been using a lot of the Republican’s tactics and rhetoric and Musk even straight-up endorsed Poilievre).

Not Friday now, but — BEE BOTTOM!

What a great idea! Now I want to draw my own loot dump zine!

Time to change out the ‘ol Ghost Dispenser!

hey Canadian authors! If you haven't already, you should sign up to the Public Lending Right program, which pays you when folks borrow your books from libraries!! Big win-win. Registration is open until May 1st. publiclendingright.ca

Last year, I had a dream about a library barcode number: 137138 The next day I checked my work’s library catalogue and that barcode had not been created yet, so I wrote it down on a sticky note and waited. Well, today was the day! To celebrate, my coworker and I bought a wodge of lotto tix.

What fresh hell is this? Put the T back in LGBTQ, you cowards! (It’s very easy to voice your displeasure, just scroll to the bottom of the page and click “No”)

Me: So a stupid thought popped into my head while I was sewing — is the name Jennifer just a modernized version of Guinevere? Sis: *Checks internet* It is! … So all this time the millennial Jens we knew had a cooler version of their name?… It’s like the gif/jif of names.
