Saw this quote from Jacob Tierney and I thought about the episodes of Degrassi that were never allowed to air in the US. The show would not have been the same! #HeatedRivalry

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Need to finish (write 10pgs 😭) of my dreaded historiography essay today bc its due tonight. I will be so happy to be rid of this class, its been the biggest disappointment of going back to school for my MA. it could have been a great class, but alas!

All of this!! And.. we're getting a season 2? Like what?! Are good things happening fr? I'm still having yuri on ice flashbacks about S2, but i can't help but believe HR is in extremely good hands that 'get it' and won't let us down. (Also when TLH comes out next year- its just so much winning)

Some of the lessons I have been reminded of from the success of Heated Rivalry as a creative person include: -care deeply about your craft -no detail is too small -work hard but also have fun -find people who understand your vision -it's important to make work filled with joy -swing for the fences

#HeatedRivalry OFFICIALLY RENEWED 🚨‼️🚨‼️🚨‼️

Super fascinating! My grandmother told me when she used to mix in the dye packet bc margarine couldn't be sold yellow, ah the power of Big Canadian Dairy.

everyone going "haha ao3 wrapped" but tbh my ao3 history is between me and god

it’s so cold out that it almost feels like the year is 1994. the iron curtain has come down, the oligarchs have begun their rise to power, and kyril ren, a powerful member of the infamous crime syndicate solntsevskaya bratva, has been given a job: hunt down an estranged uncle who has been snitchi

I have doomscrolled enough and you probably have too.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

I’ve been looking for Ben Solo everywhere! If I find him once I’m sure we can find him again! #thehuntforbensolo

Gonna keep banging on the UBI drum foreverrrrr. Being poor doesn't mean you're lazy or stupid- you could be in school, starting a business, a caregiver, a community helper, ill, escaping a bad situation, etc etc. All these folks deserve dignity. 1/2

It’s here!!! 🦋 My Save the Hunt for Ben Solo Collection. I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited and sad and happy and motivated as i am with any other drop. Let’s save our good boy! >> fridayapparel.com/collections/...

My love for this woman continues unabated 💖

Listening to the blue jays game on the radio tonight- reminds of my grandpa doing the same when I was a little kid, 30+ yrs ago. Spotify's fine ig, but I am, at heart, an AM radio kid.

I'm crying at the fact that this meme is true now! 💙🦋😭 #TheHuntForBenSolo

Let’s continue to help others while raising awareness - the kids need our help! Mythically speaking this is the biggest thing you can do to heal yourself, help others especially the future (kids).

i have to write a grant proposal tonight but its sad ben solo hours again 🥲🦋🦋🦋

As a person who works at historic sites & designating heritage homes in my town, this is BONKERS. This is what sketchy developers do at night in secret & then go 'oops our bad, we'll pay the fine ig'

FUCK BOB IGER FOR A MILLION YEARS

:laughing:crying:throwing up: but seriously the way disney refuses to make zillions off ben solo is hilarious. They just can't fathom his appeal- they would've made so much money off two space wizards smooching & roaming the galaxy. Alas.

monsters and ghouls. And govts just shrug.

One of the most important things we can do to combat this kind of thing is to explain to people as simply as possible what a generative model actually does: it produces statistically probable sequences. It doesn't know anything, it makes things that looks similar to things it's seen before.

fanfiction (esp on ao3) is great actually, & is only dismissed bc it's mostly written by women & queer authors for no money- plus they put kissing in it, ew.

My cat is a meme, but he's the best. He had to survive small loud children this thanksgiving wknd- he hid the the basement- "this is fine"

💜 Gil.. My favourite chp in the Anne books, is 'Book of Revelations' when Anne finally realizes, with Gil at death's door, that she had been so blind to her love for him. "she could no more cast him out of her life without agony than she could have cut off her right hand and cast it from her"

Ahhhh!! Omgomgomg!!! M/m secret enemies to lovers hockey romance ON TV 🥲😍 The books were so good, I can't believe this is happening! In my country! Makes my little yuri on ice heart happy..

So proud of our girls 🫶 #kpopdemonhunters

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read books in a cottage during a pouring rain in front of a crackling fire whilst enjoying a plate of emotional support cinnamon rolls?

Pauline Johnson was one of Canada's most beloved poets. Her poems focused on her duel English-Mohawk heritage, which were reflected in her stage shows. Celebrated for her work, she remains an important literary figure in our history. This is her story. 🧵 1/12

My daughter is on a junket to New York with her online peeps. She sent me this poster from the Ripped Bodice:

venting: my masters historiography class is infuriating. We're not supposed to critique the papers of the old dead white dudes we read for discussion. Just reiterate and accept. So we show we understand their theory/approach but no more. It makes me want to poke myself in the eye.

we’re back here again ❤️ haha

Small 🍁 biz here: tariffs + no deminimus has been a disaster. 1)ship thru canada post, you must use the zonos app as a broker, nothing falls under CUSMA, the biz gets charged the 35% tariff plus processing etc (we just got crushed by this) but the US buyer gets no bill at the door. 1/2

As others, including Ireland, rush to help their citizens involved with the flotilla, here’s what Canada’s government told me of the six Canadians on board: “The Government of Canada is not able to guarantee the safety of Canadian travelers, or to provide them with security and protection abroad.”
