If I had left in May, I wouldn’t have lived with my roommates. We wouldn’t have had a spontaneous poetry-reading + charcuterie board night. We wouldn’t have laughed about our love lives while watching the dog and cat play hide and seek. Staying made this possible 💜

BREAKING: This dog is named Susan From Accounting

Charging autistic time again - this time each 15min = 1 hour. Each time I work in a new environment, I realize how much time people waste in an 8h work day. A task I could do in 10 minutes easily with monotropic focus sometimes takes a team 4 hours.

Racism isn’t just slurs or insults. It’s systems and decisions that consistently deny marginalized communities access to power, opportunity, stability, and dignity — often while pretending to be “neutral.” That’s what we’re actually talking about. Naming it isn't divisive. Ignoring it is.

A nice thing about getting a cat when you have 4 roommates is that you feel extra special that this creature knows you are their “person”. She likes to follow me around, but when I’m not there she picks a new victim 😸

Day 2 of this mental health workshop: I’m pushing back. They’re talking about “non-compliant patients”, I’m saying, “I don’t agree, I think they’ve already reached their max.” They’re saying “the person is lonely”, I’m saying, “the person clearly doesn’t want to conform to societal norms.” 😝

Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash. Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.

There are fates much worse than death, and I think being a smug, unteachable, compassion-less, suspicious, fearful human is one of them!

"I don't do politics" is just a cheat-code for supporting fascism without having to say that you support fascism.

I came here to post about good lunches, share cat pics, and vent about autism. I didn't imagine we'd be here trying to mend a violent, idiotic world.

“You meet saints everywhere. They can be anywhere. They are people behaving decently in an indecent society.” ― Kurt Vonnegut

I swear from these webinars most MH practitioners within the public system have no experience with mental illness (except maybe “I have a cousin…”) - many don’t even have experience with marginalization, queerness, or neurodivergence. What a shame it’s run by normies.

It is your midweek check-up 🐾 How are you doing? I am here to lend a paw if you need help getting through the rest of the week. Life is hard, but it is always better with a dog around. I hope you have a good day. Remember, I believe in you ❤️ #corgi #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

China uses its wealth developing shit like this, meanwhile we spend ours recruiting an army of wheezing racist chuds to murder moms and tear gas schoolchildren

“Literature says best practice is to stop doom-scrolling.” Okay but when there’s actual doom, I’m quite sure literature says those who are willingly oblivious are just as guilty as those committing the crimes, so….

Autism group: “hey fellow WOC Americans, how are y’all dealing with this anxiety? How can we keep living when yt folks just don’t care and are going out as if nothing is happening?” Yt woman: “Hey, I’m struggling too. The pizza place no longer has my fav topping. Can’t we all just get along?” 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Check your freezer, Canadians. No Name brand Beef Burgers recalled due to E. coli O157:H7. This is a national recall.

You deserve a life that doesn't conflict with your nervous system. You deserve a life where you don't have to wake up questioning your decisions. You deserve a life where you don't have to overwork and underdo for yourself. You deserve a life where you can be in peace without friction.

Today I told my roommate about my fertility plans and her response was, “alone, or with a female partner?” It is SO nice to talk about this with people and not be met with lectures about “finding the right guy” or “doing things the right way” 🥰

Friendly reminder that we call eggplant eggplant because the "normal" eggplant used to look like this

Some kid just told me about how he owns his own business, is developing software and is using AI to code it because he doesn’t know how to do that part but once it’s done he’ll be able to get investors. I had to do everything I could not to laugh. Oooh bud. Oooh buddy.

There’s a Toronto lady on Instagram who posts videos of her childfree, partnerless, friendless life, and I would love it except that all she does is drink Starbucks and shop at brand name stores. I admire her living out of the ordinary, but then why would you settle for boring after that 😅

I love this photo.

cannot stress enough that they are abducting legal observers left and right and people are hearing about this happening to other people and still immediately going “alright where can i go to help now”

As an ECE, it is always clear to me which kids never hear “no” at home. Amazingly in Canada, it’s a debatable topic whether kids should even hear “no” or not 🙄 It is also very clear to me which adults have never heard “no” in their entire lives.

If you are unwilling to have a disabled, gay, trans, etc. child, then don’t have children. If you’re not prepared to love them unconditionally, then don’t have children.

Partly why I went back to school was to make friends. Last night I told these friends I’m aroace, which was my first time actually saying it to people. And they didn’t laugh. And they didn’t question it. It was like it was the most normal thing to say. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

WE ARE GETTING A CAT DOOR!!!! 😸

There really isn’t such a thing as “having fun on the violin” if you don’t know basics. It’s not like piano or guitar where you’re guaranteed a good sound even if you just poke around with no technique! I wish parents understood this.

We need to stop saying “AI is coming for our jobs” AI doesn’t have a vendetta against the middle class. It’s not sentient, it can’t choose to harm us. It’s a tool for those who can. We need to identify the right party at fault. “Billionaires are coming for our jobs”

want to feel old? christmas was two fucking weeks ago

Slavery was legal. Colonialism was Legal. Segregation was legal. Apartheid was Legal. Never use legality as a guide to morality.

What will it take to change the hearts of those so misguided in their worship of unchecked power and their hatred towards “the other”? What does it take for a person to gain their humanity back? Or is it too late?

Vancouverites - sharing this widely! It's about time. If other dentists want more business, it's time to adapt to meet the reality we're living in 🦷

This statement from the orchestra reminds me of the quote that got me through music school… the one how we weren’t doctors saving physical lives, but we still needed to practice with as much intensity in case a day came where we might be needed to tend to broken hearts.

They can't beat the arts and the artists. We are like mushrooms, we just pop up again - through cracks in the cement if necessary

I took Mila into the vet thinking she had a big blister on her foot. She wasn’t letting me touch it. GUYS. SHE HAS ONE PINK TOE BEAN.

Today is one of those days where I’m struck anew by how *bad* the internet has gotten. It’s almost unusable. Clouds, apps, advertising — nothing is where it should be and it’s nigh impossible sometimes to do basic tasks online.

Bullies won’t win. They seem to in the short term, but worse will come back to them from their own doing. Just wait and see.

We don't have the disability education infrastructure to support a growing number of kids who are going to be disabled because their parents didn't get them vaccines against illnesses that can lead to the development of disabilities.

Taking Mila into the vet Wednesday. Calling multiple vets to get her the earliest time I could make reminded me of Leah’s last days 😢 I went in thinking Leah had grass up her nose; it turned out her only option was euthanasia. With Mila, I hope it’s only a scab and a blister!!

When you’re looking up why there were 15 police cars, a SWAT team, and the fire department outside your house last night, but don’t find anything except THROUGH THE NEWS that your manager has been suspended for nei-Nazi activities. Welcome to 2026.

working to make a better tomorrow for my cats

Behaviores Report: 100% Goode!

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

I’m not a fan of the pacifists who said we had to be oh-so-kind and not say mean things about people who support crimes against humanity incase we hurt their feelings, but who am I to judge? I didn’t enact violence against criminals today either, I did a puzzle.

I believe @gandersocial.bsky.social is currently building a Canadian social media platform.

I absolutely love when mental health workers dunk on CBT, and I promise I'll be one to do the same! Also, I absolutely HATE setting SMART goals and I have to set 7 this week ☹️

Call your leaders. Email them if like me, you woke up to a voiceless day. Send them snail mail (no postage required in Canada!). Take to the streets. Don’t buy the American thing. Be angry. And then, as an ultimate act of resistance: find joy. Be human in a world trying to destroy humanity.
