i have put more effort into trying to get a pullup than i put into some of my university classes & i'm, like, a nerd

I wanted to see if I could get a pre-41st bday chinup or pullup and the universe said “happy birthday here is some humble pie” (i am wearing a bathing suit because it was a pre-swim attempt this morning.)

“Oh—uh, i don’t really *want* that to be full of water,” I say to my home sick child as one colleague is phoning unexpectedly and another awaits an edit

Neither the province nor LNG Canada has been forthcoming about this information. Much of it is buried in a document that is not publicly available.

Accidentally took home someone‘s prescription sunglasses from the lake & was very very confused just now when I put them on my face

new "may every escalator you step on come to a sudden halt" curse just dropped

All the rapture talk reminds me that i periodically return to articles describing the seventh day adventist church, re-read, think "hmmm" again, and go on with my business

so irritated the fascistic slide has forced me to side with jimmy kimmel and pharmaceutical companies

yesterday two people suggested eating more fibre to deal with my slightly elevated cholesterol and to me that did seem like an invitation to tell them that I tracked for a week and regularly exceeded 35 grams of fibre per day. I get an A+ in fibre. Would u like fibre tips

There's a handful of topics I get pitched on semi-regularly with the framing "TK little-reported, little-covered story" & over time it becomes somewhat ironic (i can point to at least 10 articles & often a few books)

Only 6 days left from what may be my final competition (unless I place top 3) as they may be banning trans men from fair competition next year. I could really use your support. This is a bitter sweet time for me. Donate here to help offset the huge costs of competing julesnotes.com/help-this-tr...

I am excited to announce the answer to autism! The answer is YES!

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Trump trying to send a DM to Pam Bondi but actually posting it on TruthSocial instead raises new questions about Joe Biden's mental acuity.

She just reminded *us* it was teethy time instead of starting a very localized WWIII. Frankly I’ll print a rotating weekly menu

Upped the child’s medication; peace has been brought back to the house, but I am now a short order cook because the (only?) side effect is appetite related.

i love brassicas* and i don’t think I have a clear favourite between cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower & Brussels sprouts because they are all just so good * kale is fine

Today I made my protein gruel with frozen strawberries, milk, cocoa powder & maple syrup and you know it’s not half bad

i finally looked at a protein calculator & based on my activity level, the optimal amount of protein i'm supposed to consume daily is 159 GRAMS. i have been aiming for 100. dear god.

I've now written quite a lot while too depressed to really write & I cannot recommend it.

It’s lasagna season. i will now dream about lasagna for about three weeks before gathering the wherewithal to make one

in the days leading up to making a new kind of cake I will study the recipe like I am studying for a test

North American culture really prizes pushing past one’s limits & I’m really not sure how smart that is. Like at the very least it should be coupled with some kinda wisdom about how to know when to chill out instead

If you’re in the ocean and you stay still for too long, you get a barnacle. If you’re on land and you stay still too long, you get a cat

At the boujie coffee shop, asking for a whole milk cappuccino but not, like, in the ”vitamin k shots have a black box warning!” way

I have so many competing injuries right now that I am taking the next week off from everything other than, like, walks

more than one time now a person with hypermobility has noticed me standing & been like “omg you’re hypermobile too??” and I have to explain that I am most definitely not, my knee joints are just congenitally weird

My child would rather open another front in the household war than move the blueberries aside to find the strawberries in the freezer

Canadian far-right Catholic website LifeSite News included a comparison of homosexuality to bestiality in their newsletter today as they discussed Pope Leo's comments on LGBTQ+ Catholics & church doctrine. (cruxnow.com/vatican/2025...)

i've been training to do a pull-up very consistently for 6.5 months. still can't do one. and the instagram algorithm thinks i want to see tips on how to improve my muscle-up?!? sir. sir!!!!!!

one of the town facebook trolls misunderstood the term "progressive experience" in a city job posting & is now telling everyone they need to read Peter Boghossian and Thomas Sowell

A PR person sent me a list of places on the mediterranean that are cheap to fly to right now; they included the air temp & sea temp, offering one final summer swim for the year. & folks it's the closest I've come in years to writing a pitch based on a PR email.

My child keeps singing “a demon with no feelings don‘t deserve to live, it’s so obvious,” and it really reminds me of how you cannot help but root for the devil when you read Milton

I go to the B.C. liquor store about once a year to buy some weird stuff I need for baking purposes & get ID’d, which is just such a full-circle moment to actually being underage (at that time I *was* just drinking the amaretto)

idk i read in the free press that the real risk to free speech is three oberlin undergraduates who say geometry is ableist. this is pretty confusing to me.

Anyway not that there were really any doubt, but "I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next" just weeks ago

i'm currently wearing loop earbuds inside of my noise-cancelling headphones & i may have finally found peace

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Rep. Ronny Jackson calls to forcefully mass institutionalize trans people and calls them a cancer. www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/r...

i put frozen strawberries in my unflavoured whey protein shake today, which raised its tolerability to about 6/10

There’s a lot of anti-Indigenous racism where I live and one of the current things people are frothing mad about is that the welcome to Tla’amin territory sign is newer & nicer than the welcome to Powell River sign.

“Debate Me” culture is not organic, endemic, or apolitical. This mode of high jacking discourse is and has been central to a 30-year conservative training program that has produced untold numbers of people to do this for every reason but “civil discourse”

for followers of the NXIVM saga… 👀 CBC has a podcast series from actor allison mack’s perspective dropping november 10. 👀

wellness culture appears to be repositioning itself to thin/pilates > "strong is the new skinny," and though i support whatever one wants to do with one's sack 'o flesh, i do this it is prudent in the current political climate to stay beefy! stay beefy

I'm currently at that stage of depression where one wants to rail against the way the mental health care system seems to be set up in support of reaching capitalistic goals instead of people, like, actually enjoying their lives

My child asked me what I was like when I was her age and I started thinking about what life was like for me then and let’s just say I’m glad I have an ocean swim planned for after dinner

one of my most born in 1984 opinions is that desktop computers are actually quite a bit better than laptops for about 87 reasons, not least of which is that i did not previously have to buy extra nonsense to plug into this thing to get it to read a godforsaken sd card, etc.
