today i found out that someone i went to elementary school with is now an NHL player

New piece by Ellen Gabriel and I on the need to resist Canada’s “elbows up” colonialism.

Reminds me of "Magda Goebbels made good strudel":

Proud enough to not even need hoods any more!

hey are you upset about this? maybe it’s time for us to get organized

Incredible solidarity right now between racist transphobes and guys who don’t listen to lyrics.

left side of brain hurt for three days and right side got sad so now I get a right side migraine too. we are on day 4 of migraine (technically day 1 of migraine: the sequel)

The councillor representing this highway is Evan Duncan

Now confirmed: a driver killed two cyclists with his truck this weekend on Kenaston, right after the bike path runs out south of Sterling Lyon.

I rly thought I was doing great bc I didn’t have too terrible of a migraine for the last two and a half weeks, but now back again in brain hurt city and it‘s feeling like i’m living in my own snakes and ladders hell

This makes me think of @nolore.bsky.social's exhortation to get involved in your community somehow, regardless of whether what you do is overtly political. People need connection, purpose, and meaning. If that's community soccer or choir or gardening club or whatever, cool.

The West did this to Russian artists for invading Ukraine but to do this to Israel for doing genocide is too much?

i love migraine sweats haha it’s gonna be a bad one folks

"At first, they came for..."

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

If it wasn’t super obvious, I’ve been off of my ADHD medication for like two months now because I ran out of them and I didn’t want to refill my prescription until talking to my doc but now I’m back on concerta baby

reading a YA fantasy novel for funsies and like lmao is this just assassin’s creed fanfic? it’s abt assassins and half the characters are named after ac characters. and a similar weapon.

went up 9kg the past year hahahhahahaha. the price of serotonin

Correction: the system is working very effectively as designed by the "free speech" 💰💵💰💵 billionaires pour into our political system.

Remember, we’ll never get a good sense of what people will do under safe conditions, by watching what some are willing to do under unsafe conditions. Building smart mobility is about supporting the choices we need more people to make, by providing smart, safe, enjoyable infrastructure for them.

"Have you listened to the podcast where-" NO! I HAVE NO TIME! THERE ARE 8,000 BOOKS TO READ, I''M STILL NOT FINISHED WITH BREAKING BAD, AND I HAVE A JOB! DO YOU PEOPLE NEVER SLEEP! ARE YOU ON COCAINE?! IF I WANTED TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE TALKING I'D HAVE MORE FRIENDS!

Not only is this coming for you, it is here and we are collectively behind in preparing.

feminist analysis requires that you understand power relations and harms to marginalized communities, and fight to destroy those forces. to use AI is one of the most anti-feminist things you can do on many levels, and that’s why tech bros and AI boosters love it.

Headache

went back to the lantern fest solely to take my mom on a date and rated all the fishballs (and deep-fried quail egg and cheese sticks) from the filipino street food stalls and all she has to say is that the name Fishball King was EARNED.

Winnipeg I am begging you please space out your summer festivals, why are there like 100 things always happening the first weekend of september

“why would i pay one dollar more for a mediocre facsimile of a montreal-style bagel when i can follow this DIY wood fired oven tutorial and make my own oven and bagels for $3000” is my Dad Thought of the Day™️

sometimes i wish to move out of the city so i can raise chickens for eggs and then i’ll eat eggs

> woke up before 7 > cleaned out my fridge (almost) > did dishes > logged onto computer for work/school/organizing > made and ate a proper lunch today has been a good day relative to many of the days I have had in the last year. thank you caffeine.

Thinking about Tammy Bateman today

read the hunger games

cries in waking up and it’s still dark out

matcha is soooo disgusting but honestly it is like the perfect amount of caffeine to stave off migraine w/o destroying my cardiovascular system

can my brain not feel like it’s getting crushed an hour before my first meeting at new job

I know that seeing cyclists in traffic makes you feel uncomfortable, but that's a good thing. You could very easily kill them accidentally, and when you are uncomfortable and aware, you're less likely to do so. We'd love to have a safe, separate space for bicyclists. Let your councilmember know!

I called this part a while back: “But many clients don’t appreciate the work that goes into revamping a poorly written AI article, she said, noting that companies often offer less pay for these gigs based on the assumption that they’re less demanding.”

These people are absolutely obsessed with children's genitals.

Hey, why are bagels in Winnipeg a dollar more a piece than bagels in Montreal

I have two questions for centrists/moderates/liberals: What are the right wing policies you agree with, that you feel we must compromise with the fascists on? What are the left wing policies that you are afraid would be enacted if progressive candidates are elected?

Youth liberation now.

okay i have eaten like half a dozen bagels in the last 24h and here is my verdict: i like st viateur because it is less sweet and more dense—still far less dense than a ny-style bagel—whereas fairmount is very sweet and almost as soft as a bread roll, which to its credit is quintessential mtl-style

once again loving porter airlines for boarding the back of the plane first and also not as many people use it so there’s actually space overhead and also it’s always on time or early.

goodbye montreal, you stink of gravlax

Bagel in my pocket through security

I will kill @booking.com like what the absolutely hell, why did you book me twice for the same nights at the same hotel. Anyway i have spent the entire morning trying not to get charges for cancelling one of them and im going to destroy someone

first 4 days of montreal i barely ate and now i am eating like 5000 calories bc I’m running out of time. and so i am extending this vacation for until sunday instead of taking the train to toronto. what is money i guess

extending mtl stay instead of taking the train to tdot bc I love throwing away money

Montréal has made it clear that it is my training for Japan and I am severely failing (halfway up the mountain and I’m done for)

mtl bus? sucks balls

electric car almost crashed into the bus im on trying to turn right from the middle lane. how do you miss a bus
