White men make art about anything other than white men doing white man power fantasies challenge. Level: impossible.

people don’t have paintings with eye holes through which they might watch their unassuming guests anymore

While I’m salty about literary stuff, sure is noticeable that all these places doing “here’s how we’re meeting The Moment with Words” bits sure don’t seem to want to involve trans people anymore despite the moment constantly claiming us

Frank Grillo’s quiff can compete with Anson Mount’s quiff

I don't know where the thing is so I won't hunt down to quote but my most millennial complaint is probably that I just want to see the fucking menu on the website--I don't care the place is closed, I am aware some stuff might be out of stock later, I'm not here to order. JUST LET ME SEE THE MENU.

"In some places, French postal workers now pick up prescriptions, return library books, and deliver flowers. Last year, only twenty eight per cent of La Poste’s revenue came from sending mail." Services can evolve in positive ways to meet new and growing needs.

y'all, my regular Friday meeting is now exceeding 90 minutes and oh my god

Hey Canadians, I know we've been sharing that financial censorship petition on the commons website but this one is important too. It's about C2, that dogshit surveillance and immigration bill www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

love hearing about the immigration process from people who have never had to emigrate in their lives

Please remember when visiting Salem, Massachusetts this October that it's a SMALL town where people actually live and work, and not a theme park.

Matt bought me a recently released compilation called Goths for Palestine. Giving it a whirl tonight. He listened to it and said if you were on the more dreamy postpunk side of Goth music, you'll like it, but if you were looking for something with a more industrial beat, pass.

Seems like a good time to remind people that Canada Post will deliver any piece of mail to federal elected officials for FREE. No stamp necessary! Just a reminder in case you, oh I dunno, wanna send your elected officials a sternly worded letter a day for a year or something.

I agree so much. People in my city want local services and goods, but when they have to pay the price for that, they balk and head on to Amazon where it's cheaper. You can't have it both ways.

not me encouraging my bestie to adopt a third cat because their owner can't afford to keep them anymore give that beautiful sleek silver baby a home

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada. "Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

My best friend calls him Timothy Onlyinmypants and that name has stuck and I call him that too Anyway, he's a fucken delight and the best thing about Alien:Earth imho

I think I saw porn clip like this once when I 18

I honestly never thought I'd see the end of home mail delivery.

This raccoon is yeeing his haw

They've nearly finished a new apartment building downtown. I am all for urban density over sprawl but who the fuck can afford a $5k/month two bedroom apartment in this town????

Re LRP: Thrill Kill Kult doesn't get as much nostalgic love as they should. In our house, the lyrics "Christian zombie vampires" are often sung out of the blue.

there are many, many versions of The Nineties out there. for example, have you ever considered the possibility that My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult's whole dirtbag Deee-lite phase might be every bit as definitive of a dominant subcultural aesthetic as grunge was?

my genuine answer to “speed cameras are a cash grab” is “so?” cities need money to operate, and everyone flips their fucking shit anytime we even look in the direction of taxes, where do you want the money to come from instead if not rulebreakers? “just budget better” can’t budget no funding my guy

I might set up the “Ask me about my IBS” sign at this weekend’s event.

As someone who works in medical admin, it will never not drive me up the wall when our doctors don't honour the appointment times they give our patients despite asking to book them at said time. I mean, please respect people's time, y'know?

Come for the proof that age verification doesn't work, stay for the second photo that shows Phoebe the pug hard at work at her desk

maybe they meant Canadian Rapture, which happens in October

Alien: TERF, where xenomorphs just shred the living shit out of JKR and a shed load of inhuman anti-science morons every week

Normies, both in the US and abroad, really do not understand how broken American journalism is. America doesn't know to be embarrassed, because 2/3rds of the country never hear about the daily barrage of embarrassing things he does.

Legitimately there are people on TikTok advising that believers should stand outside today so they don't get trapped against their ceilings when they start to rise up, which, frankly, if your divine master of all creation is flummoxed by the concept of a roof, I think that's the bigger problem.

Happy Rapture Day to all who celebrate 💋

Just a side note. If your company promotes Harry Potter merch in the year 2025, I understand your choice. But I’ll also never shop from your store again. It shows you value money over human lives 💁

If we can cancel Disney+, we can stop giving a TERF our money. It’s that easy. cherish those memories but understand that your love for a series is being used to fuel hate and harm towards a minority.

Don't you dare put that baby in pelican mouth.

Powerful letter from Aaron Ginsberg @moreneighboursto.bsky.social discussing the huge inequity wrought by current planning and zoning in Toronto. secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

From the blog of Cait Kiernan, an author who has been an influence for me for over 30 years: "Do not out of fear of what is now happening in America allow yourself to be waylaid or demoralized or frightened to the point that you can no longer enjoy and love the things you love

Re LRP: It really does feel as long as a famous white man can get back on the air, people were inconvenienced for all of a few days, while Black writers and other minorities who have been fired and do not have the same high profile don't count. It's pretty gross, tbh.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

One of the top books I've read so this year and you should really read it too

Something we all have to grapple with sooner or later is that if we're looking around for the adult in the room when it comes to the current madness, and you don't see them? Yeah, it's us. We're the adult in the room. Ugh, I hate putting on the grownup pants, they chafe.

That reminded me of a favorite quote from Lester Pearson, a former Canadian Prime Minister and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
