I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

i must not create #vent . #vent is the community killer. #vent is the little-discourse that brings total obliteration. where the #vent has been created there is nothing; only dead discords remain.

It's time for my annual ritual where I'm all agog at the speaker list for Roguelike Celebration, my favorite conference in games, now in its TENTH (!!?) year www.roguelike.club/event2025.html

its my same motto abt queer orgs. if theres no trans women involved its a major red flag and a sign that you should stsy tf away

born too late to run a doujin games and/or comics circle out of my apartment and chainsmoke as i lie on the floor with a bunch of my evil perverted peers

re-reading after hours by yuhta nishion and i wish more people talked about it and just how good its art and styling is

they're tearing down cumberland terrace??? D:

rest in peace to the world’s most beloved loser

developing a parasocial friendship with the guy at the shoe repair store in the dead mall

has anyone gotten a framework 12 and if so how is it? i keep being tempted

CITY showcases modern life in a walkable city. for example if you are a gay woman living in a walkable city then this happens to you

it takes a lot of audacity from the TTC chair to tell a transit advocacy group to muzzle basic asks we hear from riders. these councillors failed to advance new revenue tools we ask for, cry that there isn't money *every* budget cycle, then call basic transit upgrades "unrealistic". rinse+repeat.

"the National (tm) Birth Rate (tm) is dropping!!!!! this is an existential crisis of the state that the left must find a way to fix!!!!!!"

i think fandom would do well to bring back the concept of "a reading" which is different from "a headcanon". a headcanon can be anything and is total fun. a reading works with the text to come up with particular interpretations of the work, its characters, etc.

They're all talking about Tekaridake's Troupe's seventh production "Throat"

i love discord. get suddenly logged out. try to log back in. "reset your password!". try to do it by email. no email received. try by phone number. "use the link in your email". try email button again, several times. finally reset password. log back in. account locked for suspicious activity :)

Yo come over! We got some of the master's tools and we're gonna wreck his shitty house hahaa

this is what its really like to me

for several years when i heard people talk about "the eagles' hotel california" i assumed they meant the philadelphia eagles. i was very confused as to why they would commission that song but just accepted it

former blaseball people: she’s one of ours (and a friend of mine); you know what to do

does anyone have recs for dandruff treatments for a shorthair cat? the amount of options is v intimidating >:

Yeah, my discord has a vent channel. Every day one member is randomly assigned to be Gordon and the rest of us @ them with pictures of headcrabs in there. If they don't respond with :crowbar: within 20 seconds we ban them.

a lack of empathy for children is baked into the American culture and psyche and it is incredibly horrifying.

this is true. lisp stands for LesbIanS Processing

Reminder that the best conference for understanding generative systems, and how people play them, is full of kind people, online and you can go to it.

lyrical girl nanoha. good shit

Trains with hundreds of riders shouldn't get stuck waiting at red lights for a few left-turning drivers. Transit Signal Priority is just common sense! Send a message to City Council: transit riders on the $2 billion-dollar Finch West LRT should get priority over drivers! ttcriders.ca/greenlight

you don't stay ignorant, sure, but we don't survive by plugging into news networks and reels feeds that exist to perpetually remind you how fucked we are. we survive by being patient with each other, forgiving of each other, building communities based on joy and care and not absolute terror.

only real postable takeaway from the past week of Terminal Discourse on here is that if you're in any way marginalised you *have* to have community outside of being in perpetual online outrage, man. You have to find community that isn't centered what's broken today.

has anyone read some good josei lately and if so what 👀

I'm preaching to the choir here but if you do this I just don't respect you, honestly. It feels like the latest in America's 200-year series of indignities against Latin America; to be thought about only as you try to exoticize your own homegrown fascism.

Americans using terms like ‘banana republic’ to talk about trump is so telling. Your only frame of reference for bad governance is dictatorships your government installed.

CITY!!

polycule moodle instance

just got a survey email from the hospital that did my GRS buddy i sure hope so

every episode, city the animation makes me doubt everything i've ever believed about visual media, as a bit

drew a poster for a small art market happening at Tapestry in Kensington Market on Aug 10, for anyone in toronto looking for something to do that weekend :-)

people in the replies being angry at itch over this is just, like, you have no politics, you have no capacity for solidarity, you have not even a frame of reference that approximates the real world, all you know is how to lash out at someone who's in reach of your anger

we have so many reasons to be angry and ultimately we are fucked if we keep directing that at the easiest and closest targets rather than the most powerful and impactful ones

every person yelling at itch in the replies makes me want to go feral man. you are pushing the small guy around because it's the easier target. get mad at the right person for a fucking change.

To connect the recent Steam and Itch situation to another ongoing bit of news: Visa and Mastercard (and other US companies like PayPal, Stripe, and Meta) clearly believe they are entitled to dictate how people spend money not just through their services, but anywhere at all archive.ph/jigm3

I’ve been really just barely scraping by with rent and I’m about to go into overdraft reloading my transit card 🥲 if you have a few bucks to help me get through this week, put a little sketch prompt on your kofi submission and I’ll draw you a sketch later ❤️ ko-fi.com/loosemoose
