It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

"The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves" Rest easy Jane 🫶🏽

Finally pulled out the matcha whisk I bought at Oomomo a couple of months ago. I made my first attempt at an iced matcha latte this morning.

Frankly, it should be illegal to have five day work weeks in the fleeting weeks of autumn, when we hit the Goldilocks zone of perfect weather that our summers increasingly lack. You're telling me we should be indoors closing loops and circling back when we should be outside with family and friends?

Eric Adams has resigned to pursue his true passion: bribery.

Finished this book late last night. It was absolutely lovely.

Truly impressive number of birds migrating tonight. More than 800 MILLION birds up in the air right now❗ #BirdMigration

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Toad went back to bed. He pulled the covers over his head and fell asleep.

Weekend fun: using a lead testing kit (methyl ammonium bromide and a UV light) on our kitchenware. This was the first item we tested! Thankfully we have never drank from this cup

Bonjour mes amis! A colleague is opening a new Grade 4/5 French immersion classroom next week and isn’t sure where to find books to build her classroom library. Suggestions for places to shop are most welcome.

Must be nice to live in a country where people are held accountable for plotting a coup.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Might be embarrassing to say but I didn't realize exponent and power weren't the same thing until around 5 years ago.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I watched this monarch in front of my mother's house this morning for 5 minutes. I planted a number of native plants I bought from Evergreen Brickworks about 15 years ago. She's sold her house in Scarborough so I'll also be saying goodbye to these flowers at the end of September.

Dropped into Sarang, the new Korean cafe at Fairview Mall in Kitchener, yesterday An oat matcha drink should not be $11 and half ice! I have a matcha whisk and need to learn to make my own 😓

Yesterday, I went out to the Blair Flats, Cambridge, as a volunteer to help with butterfly monitoring for @raresites.bsky.social. We walked through lots of tall grasses and measured using Pollard walk (transact method used traditionally for butterflies).

Took my mother to a family doctor's visit, helped her go to the Chinese grocery store, had really delicious lunch at a Thai restaurant and paid for our meal. It was a nice day. Drove home to KW and then she texts A Thing which just reminds me that I am still a Millenial Parenting a Boomer. Sigh.

Nearly finished Jo's book #Mathish. Decided to look up prime number circles and my mind was blown! #mtbos #WRDSmath #OntEd #ITeachMath m.youtube.com/watch?v=74Bx...

ICEblock, which allows users to alert others to the geographical location of ICE officers, is the top social networking app in the App Store right now after Karoline Leavitt condemned it from the podium yesterday.

Happy Survival Day to my fellow First Nations people and to my Inuit and Métis friends. We’re still here.

Today is a great day to wear this shirt #EveryChildMatters (Actually every day is a great day this shirt)

Well. Canada's food supply just took a hit. Less fresh foods in the market isn't good for anyone. For availability or pricing. Alternatives will get more expensive.

Currently on vacation mode from teaching high school. Our last day was last Friday By the end of Monday, I had dropped +4 hours on their cozy Steam game, #SmallSpaces 😅 store.steampowered.com/app/3151380/...

Unpopular opinion: I miss wintertime sleeping 🥲 cold outside and dark and warm under the covers

i would just like to thank all of you, on behalf of every journalist on here, for actually clicking the links

13 women risked their safety and livelihoods to reveal how Andrew Cuomo treated them. It’s easy to forget just how bad it was—so let their words remind you. And share them with any voter you know who’s still on the fence. (and, help us run this as a final ad: actblue.com/donate/dream...)

Has anyone found a replacement for Google Jamboard? I need a free, simple online whiteboard collaboration tool.

What hurts me most is that everyone has become accustomed to Gaza’s suffering. Painful news has become the norm. If there is a normal, non-painful day, it is the unusual thing. We are human beings. I swear that we are human beings. We feel everything, just like you.

Lead my first paid nature walk today. Took a small group in the morning to #HuronNaturalArea, #Kitchener before the heat ramped up #Birds: We saw great blue herons, pileated woodpeckers, American goldfinches, northern house wrens, cardinals and even an indigo bunting. Everyone had fun!
