Canadians – If you have some time this long weekend, fill out this godawful government survey on AI, which itself seems to have been written by AI trained exclusively on buzzword-laden LinkedIn posts.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

I keep thinking about a mid-S3 twin peaks watch conversation. Friend: He did say the pie in Twin Peaks will kill ya. Me: And the pie in Vegas will save your life.

An abridged version of my letter appears in the Provincial paper today, the Chronicle Herald. www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

Blueksy help me find some good books on ancient and imperial Chinese history. I could use some reference material covering the gamut from Xia to Qing, and perhaps readers on the classics, Confucius, etc. It's becoming difficult for me to find thorough references online without worries about AI

I think we are going to need help here. From fellow Nova Scotians. From people who want to protect a natural environment provincial park from development. I welcome your help and your voice. This an update to the thread. We are only a small community. These are international billionaires.

I guess it's world lesbian day and nobody told me. I've been gay my whole life and I don't have a single sword. I think on lesbian day you should get your lesbians a sword

a reminder that the luddites weren’t anti technology per se but that the new tech ONLY benefited the bourgeoisie class

I have letter to the editor this week in our local paper. Our community is, once again, facing a developer who wants to turn public, protected coastal land into a golf course. We've been here before. This time, it's shadier. And God knows it was shady last time. www.invernessoran.ca/top-story/co...

Getting to show you all this cover and announce that VILLAIN is officially coming out in May of next year is such a joy and a relief i don't even know how to express it. www.harpercollins.com/products/vil...

I'm asking for help so that I can avoid eviction. Please reblog. gofund.me/2757ad335

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Quick idea I had for a shirt to wear when the National Guard rolls into town.

There's a weird frustration/pleasure in working on litRPGs where the formatting of every little thing is myriad and time-consuming but getting them all in perfect order and uniformity makes my brain buzz just right. #amproofreading

You’re never too old to start drawing.

When this blows it is going to reshape the entire course of history and our job is to be the tide that sweeps away fascism and replaces it with socialism Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The rescue I volunteer for finally has an Amazon wishlist. Here are some pictures of Pinatubo and Annapurna trying to steal my bike to hopefully inspire generosity. Most rescues would euthanize this pair for their FeLV diagnoses, but I get to foster these sweet goofballs instead.

Sinclair restoring Kimmel to its networks, and this whole situation in general, needs to be a lesson that we imprint in our minds and add to our arsenal of fighting back against fascism. If we are forced to live under capitalism then we can wield capitalism as a weapon and win.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

For 150 years, Africville, sitting right next to Halifax, was a thriving Black Canadian community. Halifax refused to provide city services, and eventually forced residents to move as they bulldozed their homes. This is the story of that community. 🧵1/12

I guess Secondhand September was a success because I went to my sleepy thrift shop of choice and everything was crap. I even told myself I wouldn't buy any books, and I only bought one because there was nothing good. 😔

Spooky month

This is real btw

I’m genuinely asking, if you read a single review of mine this year, make it this one

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Used my work-from-home availability to go chauffeur this little bean to the Bide Awhile. I never get to see them this small...

Get used to this:

A friend recognized the entertainment potential of the big AUTISM ANNOUNCEMENT graphic but replaced Kennedy’s face with a much better alternative:

There's hope in Canada. ALL CANADIANS, PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION FOR A UBI IN PEI. (Unconditional Basic Income in Prince Edward Island.) #UBI #PEI Guaranteed Basic Income #GBI #Canada #Canadians www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

After four years of demolition and construction, Halifax's Cogswell Interchange redevelopment officially opened today. 🎉 I dug out the camera that I used to photograph the highway nearly 10 years ago and took an "after" pic from the same spot. It's satisfying to flip between the two photos.

There are so many battles I want to fight but I think I've already chosen cat rescue. It may not be the most political nor change the world in a big way, but I can reduce suffering in the world using love and gentleness and maybe that's the only tool I want.

That we continue to persist at all is a testament to our faith in one another.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

On my way home saw a dude with a MAGA hat. Hesitated instead of heckling because I've mistaken red hats with white text before, but by the time I remembered the Charlie Kirk rally it was too late

look you can allow art that grosses you out to exist or you can be a fascist. "But surely there can be an exception for--" nope. exceptions mean you're a fascist. "But--" NOPE. fascist.
