I'm sorta bummed that Toronto's upcoming municipal election is being earmarked as a two candidates race this early. Our incumbent mayor and what I can best describe as a weiner. The guy flip flops so hard it's painful watching him act like he wasn't responsible. We need to want more in a mayor.

I'm at least 90% sure they're doing this shit up here too. If they're doing it with all gig-workers, then that's a problem. Ask a friend who works grocery how frequently they see different batches of DoorDashers rotate out.

Oh yeah, went to see Supergirl twice somehow. Not amazing, but still fun enough I enjoyed how after a slightly questionable cameo. They follow up with an exploration over WHY she was like that, while setting her up to play differently from Clark. Also Mamoa gets to have fun doing Lobo. Twas great.

So I've been slowly reading through the Dungeon Crawler Carl books. I'm currently working my way through book seven/floor nine. While not the most high-brow, it's damn fun. Just when you think you've got a nice, quiet moment of introspection, the damn cat gets up to something. #goddamnitdonut

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

Went to go see the Digital Circus: The Final Act screening last night. It was a very wholesome and nice finale for things. There will be some really good discourse going on when the episode gets uploaded to YouTube later this month.

There is an official petition to oppose the building of AI Data Centers in Alberta, and add laws and restrictions around AI Data Centers in Canada. We need more signatures on this so we can try and stop the ecological and economical disaster these would cause. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

The thing about AI that is simple enough to understand is that it's peak Silicon Valley. Make a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. The special add-on for this one is the extra problems that it leaves people with. Like the idea that their bot is an actual person, or ravaging the job market.

Anime North is over yet again for the year 😔 Had a decent amount of fun with some quite insightful panels. Both as an attendee and panelist. Bit of a bummer about some missed contacts, events and merch. That's to be expected sadly. Didn't get to wear my ita bag. So I thought I'd share anyways.

I found the Costco booth at Anime North! They're really doing their research into who might want a membership.

Ended up checking out the back half of the neurodivergence in anime panel after finishing up with the One Piece panel. I got a good number of things to look up along with some very reassuring stories and experiences. AN26

Gonna be at Anime North this weekend. Say hi if you see me!

A first for me today. Glad to have this piece in The Guardian. Figured it was time more of our international friends heard some hard truths about how things are going here in 🇨🇦: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As a part of Sfe's art-in-the-mail tier on Patreon. I can vouch that it's very nice to receive in my mailbox. I highly recommend them if you're looking for more artists to support.

What I'm finding a little scary is the lack of media coverage of the proposed AI data centers planned in Ontario. If any of the horror stories I've heard from rural places in the States are half true. It should be something we're all aware of. Watch politicians act like we're NIMBYs over it...

Sorta like a kyle

On certain politicians overstepping their circles of responsibility. Particularly where I live: Toronto needs no Kings

Oh that's some neat news for my fellow Toronto transit users. Fare capping comes into effect in September. www.ttc.ca/riding-the-t...

Alan Moore is a real treat and we quite possibly don't deserve him. He didn't deserve the way he got swindled by Big Comics.

The round world has its own equivalents to dwarf bread. In this brief post I suggest that "Wizard Fingers" might be one of them...

Been re-reading Monstrous Regiment (by Terry Pratchett) lately. It is still a hoot! While not as sobering a reminder of ongoing events like Night Watch was a good few months back. It still sorta fit's lingering moods about the world today. The willingness to say that nothing's going wrong, maybe?

Oh sweet! There was finally a real North American Blu-ray release for Shin Ultraman. Imma gonna go get me a copy.

The guys acting like socialist policies are just the worst. Like the healthcare system he's trying to privatize or the education system he's scrimping funding on...

Damn near everything they want us to use AI for was able to be done by a simpler, less resource demanding program. Everything new they introduced could also likely be done with the same scale of program. Say NO to the downgrade in experience AI brings.

I just backed Runaway to the Stars on Kickstarter The story from what's been published online so far has been just fantastic. A must read for fans of sci-fi. We got the story of Talita and her friends as they try and make a breakaway from their mundane lives. www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

Who likes sci-fi horror? Cause word's out that Kariss Jones' comic Orbit: Encounter is starting up again. For those new to it: It's about a space otter who's been sent to a derelict research ship to retrieve a data cache. Thing is that weird shit went on Oscar is having a bad time. Orbitcomic.com

I really want folks to know that even if you can't go to a convention or a social gathering you can still call yourself a furry. It's a stupidly large catch all term. Like you can even say "The Fandom" and a lot of folks will get the connection. All you need is something to love.

Some days back we needed to call something an apartheid. Now it's essentially a place where genocide happens. If you know, you know. It's just being the right type of angry about it.

The federal NDP in Canada is currently nearing the end of their leadership voting period. Five people with different ideas on how they want to steer the party. All to try and scrape together a better tomorrow. The winner should look into what the others said. Build up to fight together, be strong.

I just love this, thanks Crow!

A nice little recap of the years charity efforts with some further details about the three clashing factions next year.

My fursuit and custom made @homemadehorrors.bsky.social art doll were stolen from the loading dock at #FurnalEquinox2026 , Picture of the bag, suit, and art doll. It has a blue Disability tag on the front +pink keychains. PLEASE SHARE THIS POST I am devastated beyond words 💔

It really has such a quick few days. With the Dead Dog Dances going on it seems to be this year's Furnal Equinox coming to a close. Next year's theme is gonna be Critter Clash. Gonna be very exciting to see how they pull off the theme of three fighting factions.

Good evening from Furnal Equinox folks! #furnal2026 #yinglet Thanks @zigzagzazz.iheartpocket.monster

Ya know, with Project Hail Mary, Mattel could do something dumb-fun. At least if someone hadn't already licensed it out. I mean, they made a few good bucks off of the Barbie movie and Gosling likely had a tie-in Ken. I really hope folks can get what I'm going at here. And his best friend, Rocky

A casual reminder of the awesome stuff Outlaw Star had going on. Don't just say I'm done with space cowboys after Cowboy Bebop if you've missed this one.

Trickle down economics just doesn't work If you leave folks to their own devices, some won't leave heed for their fellow man The sooner those on the left can run with this as a basis for ideology, the faster we can be met with forward social policies Barring our politicians can be measurably sincere

Ontario Politics Time: Doug Ford has announced plans to retroactively remove the ability to file a freedom of information request over his personal phone usage. It's being wrapped on top of other ministerial records. If only to make it seem like it's on the level. It's just a little too fishy...

Yinglets are great if i haven't said so before. *holds every doubt of bias*

just cuz #felisdoodles #lineart #base #outofplacers #yinglet #f2u 1. 1drv.ms/i/c/d36acd95... 2. 1drv.ms/i/c/d36acd95...

Getting a little excited for Furnal Equinox next week. Went digging out through my pins for this nice crow ita bag I picked up last year. Also been trying to get some dumb commission prompts together to save my butt.

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life. I'm serious, read it all please

Saw an ad comparing "the upcoming AI revolution" to making the world like The Jetsons. The fool they quoted does know there's a reason why they all live up in the sky, right?

Oh yeah, I finished up a rewatch of that Station 11 mini series they put out a few years ago. Totally worth splurging on the Blu-ray of it. An absolute rollercoaster of emotions as these survivors of a catastrophic pandemic navigate their changed world 20 years on.

The federal NDP up here did their final leaders' debate last night. From a quick summary, there's agreement that they need to build up their base and try to fix the economy. If they push to ban AI until strong regulations can be put into place. That could help both the environment and job market.

The city of Toronto has two types of push to cross buttons at its intersections The blue labelled ones are at lights that automatically change and make sound when pressed The black and unlabeled ones will make you wait an annoyingly long time if you miss the general light cycling by 1 sec They suck

Oh yeah, I went to go see that new animated feature from Sony, GOAT It was fun and carries a damn wholesome message. Despite our various quirks, we can all play Uno. Also something about trusting each others skills when we've already demonstrated them before. Saw in 2D, but would likely pop in 3D

Snowball is just fantastic. He did those Animal Crossing style card badges that folks might have seen all around Furnal last year.
