I'm really enjoying @tjalexandernyc.bsky.social's A Lady For All Seasons and am very intrigued about the use of a bathing machine. I love historical details that are very particular to the time and place.

Current eating a bowl of berries and skyr or Greek yogurt daily because it's Bear Season.

CAG AI Data Centre Response Committee: We have until this Friday (June 12) to tell the City of Vancouver how we feel about the Mt Pleasant AI Data Centre! Comment period on the Planner Report for the 111 E 5th Ave rezoning app about to close!

The local berry stand is current supporting my mental health by providing a nice little treat and way to leave my house.

Entering month 6 of Mamdani's NYC & Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, & Murder is down 21%—all without "Adding 5000 new cops." Instead, he's invested in public safety free childcare, food, and better funded schools. Safer cities come from investing in people—not punishments.

What if the government invested in people instead of business?

When Coco doesn't like something he sits nearby and faces away. Right now he's doing that because he's already finished his serving of chicken and yet I am eating more chicken and not sharing and the Council Of Dogs is gonna hear about it.

My partner made me brunch. I have an excellent selection of Library books to choose from. I can use a sick day if I need to this week. @jewellerytears.bsky.social is proactive in getting me to cancel plans before the last minute.

Trying to recovery from a fatigue cycle but it's giving me time to sit with my body before a big change. How often do we get to do that? Feeling gratitude and readiness.

I'm having a bad day BUT: -my partner mailed a dear friend some Very Niche romance novels for me -menopause means my toes warm up on their own -Coco has been a dear companion dog -I've read about 100 pgs of a modern fairy tale anthology

I have a cis ex gf who regularly waits until a more femme-presenting person is willing to go to the bathroom with her because of this. It's never about protecting women.

The fun part about Chronic Fatigue is it'll have you cancelling massage appointments. Truly the one chronic illness that rules them all.

we could shut this entire Canada down starting Monday, everything

There is so much to be annoyed by regarding living in a Fifa host city but the fact that 6 days of farmers markets and 3 days of the local produce stands in the "game zones" are cancelled is ridiculous given it was billed as a "boost to local economy".

There are days I survive out of spite. That I'm filling paperwork and sending emails and making appointments and taking my meds and doing nice things with my friends mostly because there are groups of people who wish I didn't exist and I won't let them win.

Then again, if Mark Carney had been honest with Canadians about his plans for dealing with the United States, he never would have been elected.

Akwaeke Emezi's Son of Morning is not just deliciously spicy but layered with so much emotional levels as you'd expect from Christian mythology.

For anyone who is filled with longing and envy every Pride, this is my unsolicited advice: get gayer. No seriously. It helps SO much.

Happy Pride Month from your neighbourhood mostly Sapphic Enby disabled weirdo. Remember that Silvia and Marsha want more freedom and rights for ALL, especially trans women and SW.

happy "all queer infighting and lateral punching completely stops and we focus our collective ire on cops, corpos, and politicians" month

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

Why did you transition, right answers only? After a long time of trying to expand the boundaries of my assigned gender at birth, I finally realized it always felt incongruent because I was the secret third thing (non-binary). It was such a relief to let go and settle into myself.

Why did you transition, right answers only? It was the only logical step. Once I'd figured out why I felt *wrong* for the first 25 years of my life, I couldn't wait to make the necessary changes. It was a very good call. Haven't felt wrong in my body since. It's been 20+ years now.

Good news for people who like kimchi: www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

Remember, if someone asserts that your weekend plans of reading a good book, drinking multiple cups of tea, and indulging in a scandalous amount of emotional support cinnamon rolls “doesn’t sound exciting”, then they simply may not be the friend you thought they were.

It’s a shame we don’t talk about billionaires as having dragon-sickness. Tolkien knew.

I had a good therapy appointment and a great shopping day (craft supplies! Fancy chocolate! Ramen bowls!) and now I am so tired but some asshat put an empty suitcase on my bed and now I gotta deal with it. (Past me is the asshat.)

Reentry from vacation has been exhausting and very frustrating. Work has been easy but my brain and body yelling about how disabled I am is not welcome. I hate how managing the logistics of vacations depletes my spoons and enforces more recovery time.

The boom in data centre construction also comes while BC Hydro expects the province will need up to an additional 9,700 gigawatt hours of additional electricity each year by 2035 — nearly double the current output of the #SiteC dam. @isaacphannay.bsky.social reports. #bcpoli #AI

insane to me that @patagonia.com is suing incredibly impactful drag queen and climate activist Pattie Gonia for “harming their brand” is Patagonia not a brand for the LGBTQ+ community or for climate activists? because you’ve spent a lot of time pretending to be both.

Just a friendly reminder that your desire to read books and eat pastries in a seaside cottage during a raging thunderstorm is valid. Don’t allow anyone to disrespect you by telling you otherwise.

Canadian COVID Forecast: May 23 - Jun 5, 2026 SEVERE: none VERY HIGH: none HIGH: NL MODERATE: CAN, AB, BC, MB, North, NS, ON, PEI, QC, SK About 1 in 314 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected.

Current attempt to make myself Do Paperwork: if I complete it, I get to buy foam clay so I can construct mushrooms to make a crown with.

If you see this and you wanna, quote with a pic of you wearing sunglasses.

With surgery coming up I'm trying to figure out how much I can cram into the next 7 weeks. Clean out the freezer? Tidy up a doom pile? Maybe my bedroom? Buy a new mattress?

I'm back from vacation and of course my brain is tapioca pudding but I'm promoting the queer fat clothing swap in my building if you're local and I haven't spammed you about it yet.

Current dilemma: I'm gonna be off work for 8 weeks, recovering from surgery. Of course I'm going to work on UFOs. But do I also teach myself linocut printing? Or just learn crochet? This post brought to you by sheer hubris.

FINAL WEEK of the Save My Teeth Sale. I'm raising money to get my teeth fixed. All my games are 75%-off, or get 'em all for just $20! Please spread the word! Thanks so much! itch.io/s/185305/sav...

I wrote about the politics of "gender euphoria" and whether or not it's still a relevant concept in 2026 for @script.health www.script.health/article/gend...

I also made myself a pillow for top surgery recovery! I made another one several years ago, but it's out there hopefully still being used.

Creative retreat! I did a bunch of stuff! I'm also sillier when my spoons aren't eaten up by work. I love @maydela.bsky.social for making a vacation for us.

I just finished my oldest #UnFinishedObject. My first cross-stitch for @maydela.bsky.social's wedding, 20 years ago. I'm gonna take the pattern home, write a letter about what I've learned about getting stuck and unstuck and plant it in my garden.

caution ⚠️ while jellicle cats are indeed of moderate size, they do NOT have a flared base

Hard not to be paranoid when you remember all the times your paranoia was justified.

How are we doing on studying the effects of wealth on the holder's health? What are the early warning signs? How quickly do symptoms progress? Is there a point where the damage becomes permanent? Can it be reversed? How does it change with age and geography? How much money does it take?

I'm a part of it. Not separate from it. I walk on the ground and the ground's walked on by me, I breathe the air and change it, I am entirely interconnected with the world.

Just finished a much-needed re-read of @bethanycmorrow.com's Mem. Such a beautiful, hopeful piece of work.
