This feels like a very Vancouver Island sorta view, this reunion is going so well

Bilingualism is fun because I get to get the level of bread pain on this toaster

and any answer leading with "but he's not transgender" is wrong

I never thought I'd get to the point in my geosciences career where a sample I'm looking at has visible gold and I'm more interested in everything else going on

The one benefit of AI art is that its use stands out as a flag that loudly proclaims "I don't really care" I'd found a shop online that had cool dice and I was very close to ordering them, but I noticed the store's logo was AI and after going back over the dice, they were all clearly dropshipped

Begun, the family reunion has... (It's my mom's 70th in a few days so the famjam is coming from across the world to celebrate, and thankfully since two of us kiddos are trans, my mom opted to celebrate it here in BC)

So tragic to have such an amazing season come to an end with such a wet fart of a series I'd say well done Vegas, but I'm not going to do that, they can rot, go Habs/Canes

This was the sort of discussion that got my mom on board with trans kids playing sports. When you reframe sports from being something that kids need to do as a form of dominance to something that is a social activity that fosters comradery, it shows exactly why the bigots actually want them banned.

One of the things I like about this is the understanding that athletics isn't about winning. It's about the bonds we create playing together. Virtually no athletes are making a living out of it, but countless athletes are creating friendships that make life wonderful.

I would vote for a Logan’s Run law in Seattle, even if the age cutoff took me along with these weirdos.

I've been having the worst tinnitus of the past decade for the past few days now 😭

not to call anyone out specifically: many cises responding they didn't know and imo that speaks to how most ppl have done no work interrogating the transphobia they've spent their lives absorbing. would you say that i am a whitewoman or a jewishwoman? i bet you wouldn't, even by accident!

Aw this is so sweet ☺️ If he’s willing to put in the effort to learn Chess for her then he must really like her. Most guys don’t put in that much effort if any lol

I need to geek out for a moment My special interest is the Rocky Flats site near Denver. I grew up in the hills south of the site and spent numerous drives between Golden and Boulder looking out east and wondering what went on there.

NEW: The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

I GOT MY WORK VISA EXTENTION APPROVAL I get three more years to figure this whole thing out, maybe the world will be a slightly kinder place by then

Happy long weekend everyone, here is the line of people waiting for the 257 at 10:10am at Granville. It is about to round the corner at Seymour making it about 35m long. It will arrive at this stop with many seats filled, and still has to make stops after this. We need more buses.

I'm having the drop of all drops right now, I think the week finally caught up to me

By some miracle, my grandfather clock is working again and the beat is back to a normal-paced tick-tock-tick-tock rather than the tick-tock-pause-tick-tock-pause it had for the past year I was ready to find a repairman, though I wasn't nearly as ready for the cost, and yet, it came back to life

Four days off 🥰

0-8-0, consolidation, mikado, mountain, berkshire, northern

I feel a pretty decent amount of shame this evening, I had a work deliverable that I pushed to get done I was confident in what I presented and I got torn down over it, and it super doesn't help that I made it using my own macro set and my coworker who has to fix it tomorrow hasn't used them ever

As much as I still feel a bit spicy about losing the Olympic Gold, MacKinnon seems inspired to make up for his flaws in that game

Occasionally I'll get the impulse to play mahjong and I'll remember that I have a set of tiles in storage Since getting to storage sucks, I'll think about just buying a new set And like clockwork, I'll be stunned by how much tile sets go for these days, so I guess it's time I went to my storage...

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, THE VICTOIRE ARE HEADED TO THE WALTER CUP FINALS‼️

Saw my first whale while walking along the beach this evening, Kyogre has blessed me

feels sort of beyond parody that the planned datacenter is in the ICE-collaborator offices lmao.

Mothers Day dinner for the cat mom of my favorite baby, all from scratch

"I learned about eating a women's ass at the super bowl. This was a first time for me.”

As I get closer and closer to the end of my work permit, it feels like the challenges to maintain a normal life are piling up I was almost denied a renewal on my temporary drivers license today, I had to find some documents online that needed even more to back them up I hate this purgatory I'm in

I've been putting off catching the final few Pokémon I needed to complete my living dex in Pokémon Home, but as of last night, I finally got through Violet and caught Iron Crown and Iron Boulder

The Seed Song

Science World is going into its soccer ball coccoon, what will come out on the other end will be unknown and certainly terrifying to behold

Okay, so after not getting more than three hours of sleep a night since Friday night, I finally got 10ish hours last night and I woke up feeling like I could cry it felt so fucking good

what's good for goodyear tires is good for the country

A study of Ramona in two parts

On one hand, I want to get back into chess, on the other hand, learning is hard 😭

May the 4th be with you 🌌

Which way, promoted pawn?

Dustin May wearing #3 and pitching on May 3rd is incredible.

All this Dawkins talk lining up with some Rowling discourse has reminded me just how glad I was to get over my deep fandom of Dawkins as soon as he outed himself as a horrendous bigot

New laptop showed up which means I can finally play Stellaris again
