Cecil is not kidding. Once she asked me what my favourite version of Superman was and I said I didn’t have one, and she was downright angry with me for at least a minute. Cecil should be writing Superman. And then my fav will be Cecil’s Superman. Happy Superman Day.

You can tell the economy is not good because all the spring fashion features are like “GET THE LOOK: Jeans and a tee!”

Fun to see Game Poems covered in this month's Edge! Did I mention we've got an ongoing open call for Issue 2? Make a game poem today! www.gamepoems.com/submit

Welcome to the revolution, whoever this is.

Montreal, if you haven't been outside yet today, you need to go outside. It's so pleasant out. You've earned this.

The catfruit is ripe after a morning in the sun.

The sad dad protag is sad because the world has not prepared him for parental responsibility, so he must rise to the task (often overshooting). The sad mom is sad because the world wanted nothing BUT to prepare her for this, so she faces the paradox of destruction in body and soul vs. nurturing.

Creepy! I added security to my website, and now I know someone attempted to gain access 144 times, using the name of a character from one of my novels as a user name.

This is so flaky today. Anyone else have a backup Mastodon? mstdn.ca/@JillMurray

I'm reading a motivational book of fairly unhinged advice For Research, and it's giving me dopamine hits rivaled only by watching reality tv as it goes more and more off the rails. It's not good; it feels GREAT. Would anyone want to start an Iffy Advice book club with me?

This morning I was listening to Caroline Braun claim on a podcast that Montreal's rents are high because we spent too much money, so now we need to cut spending. (?huh?) Meanwhile in NY...

Everything continues to be the emperor has no clothes

For our next spotlight on Canadian game devs doing cool things locally, I had a great chat with @indigodoyle.bsky.social. From representing small-town Ontario in @rollergirlgame.bsky.social to connecting local Toronto devs at @bonusstageto.bsky.social, I love how Indigo's work fosters community.

Knitting! At the city council meeting.

I’m going to start walking around telling everybody I know that they’re weak on crime

Me: I should sew some dressier clothes that fit really well. Also me: thrifted this ninja turtle bedsheet to use as fabric

CW sexual assault. And pay attention, Quebec game studios: Quebec’s workplace health and safety tribunal has judged that a game worker who was sexually assaulted after a team-building event sustained a workplace injury and is entitled to compensation. lp.ca/lloFmJ?shari...

I had to ride in a car this weekend, and I think that the people who are most attached to their cars might actually hate driving the most. For example, I am way more chill about traffic when I'm borrowing a car share. Probably because most days I don't drive and don't experience traffic.

Feels like there's a lot of stuff in here my fellow game dev ppl will relate to.

It seems like every other week you're seeing stories similar to this coming out. I'm glad people are speaking up, but good lord these are not positions anyone should be in.

The Public Lending Right is an awesome program that pays Canadians or Permanent Residents with books in the Canadian Library System. Registration is open now until May 1st. It’s well worth signing up for! publiclendingright.ca

"why would tracy morgan's character have an opinion on this" is a bit that gets me every single time

This blows, hire Elisabeth damn it

I know everyone is fantasizing about war crimes tribunals and international courts and things as the ultimate Consequence for All This, but: there is VERY little power in that system and effectively *none* for the United States. We either stop/punish this ourselves, or it will never happen.

Pls, America. At least make some calls.

I missed Tartan Day yesterday! Oops! For this week's #TartanTuesday, 12 new tartans have been registered, including this one "designed to celebrate the the moon and was inspired by space and the night sky." www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDetail...

This cat doesn’t need to be doing anything, for me to find her hilarious.

6-year-old: I really like Unpacking!! Me: Oh good! It's very charming, right 6-year-old, reaching level 4: I have a feeling... that I do not like... the apartment of this B-OYYY!! Me: Ah, you picked up on that didja 6-year-old: [darkly glowers while moving underwear around]

Do you have a thing that’s supposed to be healing, productive or feel good but it works in reverse for you? Mine is journalling. It makes me feel hopeless and bad about myself and then I feel bad about feeling bad about journaling.

Ugh, what a nightmare! Fuck AI

I'm in the incredibly frustrating position of being owed $ for my last gig & having lost all full + part time work due to studio closures. No new work has panned out yet. I need at least $80 to get through today. Any help is appreciated 🙏🏿 ko-fi.com/thatjayjusti... , www.venmo.com/ThatJayJustice

Personally, I am taking a break from writing my Nova Scotia book since it’s now certain I have to find a way to make the story and themes more broad and less Nova Scotian to sell it at all. Before, it felt regional and now it feels impossible the way it is.

I DID IT. I handed it my final school assignment of the year. #survived #tired #done

Biggest April Fool's joke has to be the big scholarship announcing a week in advance that results would be posted today, and then everyone in the country checking their results at once, causing the portal to crash, and then my results not being there yet 😅.

I assume most people arguing that the mail is a "drain" are instigator bots, but also if you are a real person who thinks this: may you always step in water right after putting on your socks.
