Debating whether or not the transit budget can be decreased immediately after passing the police budget feels deranged. Police has a PLANE, and City Council is asking if buses can reduce routes, hours, or increase their rates???

Donnelly: Most criminal activity starts w/ young people who have nothing to do, nowhere to go. We need to invest in organizations that help them find ways to express themselves, give them something to do.

Every Christmas, I like to watch and read a series that feels like a project: LOTR Extended Editions, Star Wars, Anne of Green Gables, The Magicians, Chronicles of Narnia, etc. Anyone else?

Injured myself at the gym this week in a new and exciting way. It's been a while since I've had to deal with an injury like this and I feel like I've gotten worse at it.

My favourite Sephora liquid eyeliner has been changed from felt tip to brush tip and I HATE it. Taking recommendations for the best liquid liner that goes on smooth and doesn’t get grayish partway through application.

Got completely wiped out by two fillings today. Had to get two rounds of freezing and I was really shaky and cold afterwards. Now I’m barely staying awake on the couch. My nervous system said absolutely not to that.

Another year of no poetry category in the Goodreads Choice Awards. It's a shame, because people still read poetry and it deserves recognition just like any other genre.

It blows my mind that Jacob Elordi could go from playing the most hateful, dead eyed man in Euphoria to the most precious baby angel Creature who I would die for in Frankenstein. Nominate that man for an Oscar, damn

Idk what it is but I’ve had Pap smears done by women twice, and they’ve been the worst experiences. Granted, my family doctor for years was the most gentle man on earth, so I’m like, is this just normal?? They’re just this horrible all the time???

Sometimes I look back on the time I spent in Australia on a student exchange program and think about how lucky I was to take classes in Australian Literature, Irish Lit (from an Irish prof who moved to Oz), Creative Writing (where I made my own anthology of Australian love poems), and Screenwriting.

One of the funniest things about figuring out I’m autistic has been reading all my favourite books again and realizing that all the authors are autistic.

I’m going to lose my mind. Every time I go to watch something on Crave lately, it’s in fucking French. In this case, it even says it’s in English but it’s fucking NOT. What am I even paying for on this app?? To watch a commercial every time I pause or rewind jesus christ😡 🤬👿🔥

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

PSA: If you're an author & you get a chatty email from a marketer, or book club that praises your book & bashes Amazon's algo before offering to 'help', usually with 500 to 10,000 reviewers, it's just a ChatGPT automated marketing scam. It's the new Nigerian prince email, brought to you by 'AI' 🙄.

It’s never not going to be funny to me that my queer awakening was Holtzmann from Ghostbusters, who is so autistic coded, and then I came out and got myself an autistic girlfriend.

A super fun thing is that my estranged brother will randomly remove himself from Facebook group chats from several years ago every three months and I get the notifications and then I get to relive the trauma of being abandoned by my family all over again.

It’s super cool when your own family traumatizes you and then you can never trust anyone again.
