Northwestern Ontario is lucky to have @jonthompson.bsky.social, and this is sadly not surprising BS from our local police service.

Not so friendly reminder that complaining about “straight passing relationships” during Pride is harmful to both the B and the T and Pride is for more than JUST same sex attraction. Our Pride is not only who we love, but our ability to also love and be loved as ourselves.

Reposting for the evening Ontario crowd!

‘It’s about our right to fundamentally exist’: Local bodybuilder takes his fight to BC Human Rights Tribunal thediscourse.ca/cowichan-val...

Anyone have good video, audio, or photos of the "Safer Ontario" ads the Ontario government has been running? I'd like to use them in class as an example of propaganda but am having trouble finding them online.

Yo, my Buffy (now Angel) rewatch podcast started a new season last week!

My new mission as an editor is to kill the rule of three. Kill it stone dead. Not just because AI appropriated it (I will never give up the beloved em dash) but because it’s *so boring* when people overuse it. DOWN WITH THE RULE OF THREE!!!!

MAKE ME BETTER is cult shit, but make it slightly sci-fi. Yet another fascinating story from Sarah Gailey! kara.reviews/make-me-bett... 📚💙 #bookreview

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

Love it when I get to guest on someone else’s podcast (it is so much less work, lol!). And yes, I had never watched Stranger Things, so I needed to do *some* homework in this instance. Sarah and Lea are such fun hosts, and of course Steph and I bring our own great dynamic to this discussion.

LOL I put a library book on hold only to discover I actually have it as a NetGalley eARC (which I am a little behind on, shame on me).

Playing Assassin’s Creed Origins right now over at twitch.tv/tachyondecay and we MIGHT even play more of the main story missions tonight!

happy pride

Y’all climate change really is cooking the Gulf Stream

Happy Aromantic Visibility Day!! This happily single aroace gal is playing Assassin’s Creed Origins over at twitch.tv/tachyondecay Come hang!

I keep getting AI scam emails addressed to me as if I'm the author of books I've *reviewed* (and the author and I don't even share a first name this time). Like … scam better. Take some pride in your work.

APA has been a leading voice in inclusive language for a long, long time, and that has really endeared them to me! #StetChat

Hello, I'm a copyeditor from Canada. I'm aroace and trans, so this #StetChat topic is dear to me. In my day job, I teach both math and English. I sometimes have impostor syndrome about editing because it's a side hustle, and I only do a few projects a year and don't connect much with other editors!

My toxic trait Is I am far more gutted about the Stargate revival being cancelled than I am about the Buffy revival

Regular reminder that I am available to copyedit indie novels & academic manuscripts! I don’t use AI but instead use my very human eyeballs and click-clacky typing claws to diligently edit your precious work word by word, line by line, with care and consideration. Please share!

I have made the mistake of logging into my pension website and spotting a minor discrepancy that is probably nothing and, even if it is something, I *literally* have 20+ years to correct. But of course my brain won’t shut up about it on this Friday night.

It is THE WORST when you’re trying to shop and the website isn’t working and you’re like “I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU MY MONEY”

Just backed this! 💙📚🌈

*frantically scrolling back through my skyline to check if I said anything supportive of Carney*

Carney to replace Steven Guilbeault’s seat with burning tailings pond

TODAY IS THE DAY! Our Common Bonds 3 campaign is officially launched, alongside the Summer Book Bazaar! Lovers of queer SFFH, come help us make this anthology a reality (and check out the other cool projects) ! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

So I am OBSESSED with the new aroace love story SHAPES OF LOVE by L.V. Peñalba, and I truly hope my review does justice to how it made me feel kara.reviews/shapes-of-lo... 🌈📚💙 #bookreview Seriously, do NOT sleep on it

Make a Some Desperate Glory movie you cowards

Carney apologists: To appease the separatists so they don't make Alberta leave us, we need to give Alberta climate concessions— Alberta separatists: —and all your lunch money— Carney apologists: —and all our lunch money. So we're good now, right? Separatists: *counting bills* Hehe, yeah kid, sure

Sitting here at my desk, lesson planning. Sipping tea. Reader, I haven’t made a cup of tea yet this morning. I have been sipping the last bit of *last night’s* tea for the past hour and JUST noticed.

Good thing I haven't put on makeup yet because I am CRYING 😭

Live at twitch.tv/tachyondecay with Assassin’s Creed Origins. Come hang?

The feminine urge to open and close the fridge half a dozen times, eat a pickle straight from the jar, all before finally realizing what you needed all along was just a glass of water.

I have booked my first-ever hair colouring appointment!!! Purple balayage here I come.

Only 5 more weeks of lesson planning! Really 4 because the last week doesn't count. I can do this.

Live now playing Assassin's Creed Origins! Come hang twitch.tv/tachyondecay

Oh no, the 30–50 feral hogs have levelled up!

With the possibility that I may pull my YA novel from submission, I am beginning to research freelance copy editors and cover designers. Must be Canadian. Preference to trans and gender diverse people. Know anyone who fits the bill? This isnt for sure. I need to discuss more with my agent

So do the Kents just have a standing order with the Smallville truck dealership? They seem to go through a new pickup every few weeks.

It’s a long weekend, and that means a cozy afternoon stream over at twitch.tv/tachyondecay Starting with Tiny Bookshop, then maybe we’ll switch to Assassin’s Creed Origins later

The first two seasons of Smallville had me thinking I remembered it wrong. Maybe it was a really good show! Now starting season 3: Helen suddenly turning into a gold digger … Lana just casually killing a guy in self defense and then NO ONE mentions it … ahhhhhh, here we go

Just watched The Fall Guy, which I've slept on until now, and oh my, what a delightful movie!

Pulled into the coin-op car wash bay to discover someone had left 3:30 on the metre 👍It is a good day.

The federal government giving in on carbon pricing to appease separatists is the same as the Democrats in the US giving in on … well, everything … to appease the MAGA Republicans. It's craven and self-sabotaging.
