I live in ward 1 now but spiritually, Cameron is still my city councilor

Riding the high of finding three books I need for sale secondhand in decent condition on thriftbooks and getting them all for $66 total after shipping. One was not available in my campus or city's library system so I've solved a problem and got a nice bonus.

I not only want socialized healthcare, I want socialized veterinary care. Every living thing should have access to healthcare. It is unethical for a society to have laws against animal cruelty yet not provide assistance with getting animals veterinary care.

The shift from "sir this is a Wendy's" to "just put the fries in the bag" indicates a cultural rightward shift; whereas the former is making fun of someone by implying they're a customer doing too much, the latter is making fun of someone by implying they're a *worker* & should know their place

The people's princess on the Lakeshore West GO train

When you feel yourself becoming complacent or surrendering to hopelessness or apathy, remember that everything that exists today exists because someone(s) dreamt it up and decided to put in the work to make it a reality. We can create new ways of doing things, new ways of being, new worlds.

I hope that I have been queer in every lifetime. I hope I was getting with all the other nuns at the convent in 1174.

I do kinda think it's important to know, like, anything about the thing you're critiquing. In this particular case "AI" just means "mathematical model". ChatGPT is not diagnosing fucking cancer

Cat update: she has started sitting on the top level of her cat tree for direct heat vent access during the winter.

Yeah, I got ADHD Ahhhhhh Dis Head Dontwork

My lifehack for undergrads is that if you're using ChatGPT to do all your schoolwork you can save tens of thousands of dollars by simply not going to university since you don't seem to actually give a shit about learning the material at all.

this is why actually doing your jury duty is so important lol

hey guys. I just wanted to put a call out and ask folks to please let me know if they know of any marketing/communications or graphic design jobs open right now. I think I do great work and could really use some leads ❤️

"You're doing community-engaged research just partner with one of the corps you're researching and you can get some grants!" Great idea let me just get in my time machine to 2004 [AMERICAN IDIOT BY GREEN DAY STARTS PLAYING]

dark woke begins NOW

WHAT DID I SAY

I impulse booked a massage hoping it will fix my life but afterwards the masseuse recommended I book with someone else next time because she isn't strong enough to get the knots I have. This is what years of dedication to marching tuba into my 30s gets me.

We live in Hell

I think Dick Cheney learned that a Muslim was going to be mayor of New York and his skin exploded

Dick Cheney dying the morning of NYC's mayoral election has to be some kind of auspicious omen

I'm surprised by the Mandarins going on hiatus. Being a responsible org, it looks like they called it early to give their people time to find a new home this season. Many corps are not responsible. I wouldn't be surprised if Mandarins aren't the only corps on hiatus, just the first to announce it.

mom, right wingers are romanticizing the life of a coal miner in west virginia during 1930 saying “this is what they took for you”

Having a medium or longhaired cat is all fun and games until they get a poop stuck to their ass fluff

I need chocolate oranges now IDC that Halloween isn't over yet

In addition to money donations to food banks & food aid for people, please also consider donating money or food & litter to pet food pantries. Many people who rely on SNAP to feed themselves will now need to redirect $ to buy groceries that they would have spent on pet food before.

High rent isn't just a housing issue. It's destroyed community groups of all kinds, because nobody can get any space for meetings or events anymore

Moving is a pain. Finding a new place. Changing your address on all your docs. Rearranging your whole life. All sorts of unexpected costs. Doug Ford's government wants an entire third of the Province to live that way - in constant anxiety - all to satisfy their wealthy donors. #onpoli

In the wake of the Portland anti-ICE frogs I think the time is ripe for the left to reclaim Pepe

I really love that the person who was the captain of the quidditch team at my university during undergrad is a trans woman now. I hope she is living her best life every day and JKR shits her pants in public.

food banks have already been under pressure over the past several years, and with SNAP benefits expiring they're going to be the only safety net for a lot of people please donate what you can. $100 can feed several families for a month because of the discounts and purchasing power they have

I hate how dating culture treats not going to therapy as a red flag. It is super weird to ask a stranger if they go to therapy and that doesn't actually tell you anything about them. If you're trying to sus someone out it's better to casually mention that you go and see how they react.

I thought the tiktoks about Curtis Sliwa were exaggerating but then I saw some clips of him talking and actually I don't think the people parodying him went hard enough

✨Her✨

We are at my parents house now. She was so brave on the GO train!!!!

On the way to Toronto for Thanksgiving weekend

Just to be clear, someone in the comments said he was arrested but has not gone to trial yet. This is still playing out but obviously very important. AI is surveillance tech! Don't use it!

It has come to my attention that there are now 19 IHOPs in Canada from BC to New Brunswick. It is possible to go on a coast-to-coast road trip to hit every Canadian IHOP.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL LESBIAN DAY TO LESBIANS!!! I LOVE YOU, LESBIANS!!!! I WILL CRAWL ON MY HANDS AND KNEES THROUGH THE DESERT FOR YOU, LESBIANS!!! I WILL DEVOTE MY LIFE TO YOU!!!

MAASIN had our annual reflection & visioning meeting tonight now all our motions are being voted on by membership over the next 3 days so even people who could not attend get a say in the direction of the org. Some interesting stuff is on the table, I look forward to updating the general community!

Just one microblogging site not run by a group of unfunny pissant conservatives please. I’m not asking much

Genuinely, yes. With AI search messing everything up now Wikipedia feels peer reviewed by comparison.

Starting a nonprofit organization based on educating lesbians that long distance relationships are not mandatory and it is fully legal to date a woman who lives in your city

Hi yall Full transparency, I talk about how I don’t tour internationally cause of all the cost of touring Even when most of our cost are covered, unexpected shit like our plane detouring 12 hours to SFO makes us have to rebook trains and lodging We threw shirts up, help if you can

Please pour one out for all 4 of my Twitter accounts which were finally deleted today. RIP.

My feed is populated and I've updated my photos. Giving my Twitter following one last chance to DM me with other contact info to stay in touch before I finally delete my account tomorrow. I should also screenshot some of my more informative threads on drum corps stuff to share here too.

The song that gets stuck in my head after band the most is The Maple Leaf Forever but not even the melody. Just my tuba part on loop.

I'm sad my high school best friend lives so far away from me and I haven't been able to give her baby early exposure to queer communism

Just submitted my SSHRC application. Everyone manifest that the government gives me $40k for gender studies drum corps research.
