For anyone who needs to hear it: If you trusted someone who ended up hurting you, that's not your fault for trusting them. It's their fault for doing harm. This world is hard enough without us adding to it. Go easy on yourselves, friends.

Let's take it a step further: RTO policies have never made sense for the workers

Because it apparently still needs to be said: I don't care who you are or how well you write, if you put that writing on substack I'm not reading it and I'm damn sure not giving you money. #LeaveSubstack

Google docs is shoving more GenAI features in automatically to prompt you to have Gemini write for you. So a reminder that @ellipsus.com exists and has no GenAI features, and is proudly anti-GenAI. It's the author's online writing tool. www.theverge.com/tech/930108/...

Absolutely the frickety fuck it's not.

can fireworks be fucking illegal already?

North of North, so I'm in Nunavut. Honestly, I'll take that over the weather we're gonna have in the next couple days. 😅

anyone remember when i used to write sometimes? that was fun. i miss that.

Slightly increase a band U3 The Tragically Hips Blurs Temple of the Dogs Hearts Okay I'll stop, I don't know why it's all older acts coming to mind lol

a friend of mine and a neighbour have both recently gotten puppies, and let me tell you, the overlap between people who want puppies and people who should have puppies is oh so tiny

my dad before i go for driving lessons: have fun, be safe! my friends: don't kill anyone!

Substack discourse again so I am moved to reiterate: getting off Substack is one of THE most straightforward and effective ways to get fascist stink off your work. If you choose not to do it because it seems too hard, then I do not trust you to do literally anything in the face of fascism.

I love hockey. No really

don’t

"I can't leave substack because the money is too good" If you can't even change the platform that generates your income, even if it means a pay cut, why the hell am I supposed to believe you'll push for any other meaningful change?

Oh my gosh y'all! $470 needed now! Y'all are freaking incredible, thank you so much! We're so close now to having April rent covered! Please keep sharing, it makes such a difference! Thank you all so much for helping! Paypal: affirmationgin at gmail Cashapp/Venmo: showupforthis gofund.me/74bb276c7

Once again shouting from the rooftops to STOP REMAKING THINGS THAT DON'T NEED REMAKING AND PAY PEOPLE TO MAKE NEW ART

today has been an absolute shit stomp of a day, and my solution is bed. even if tomorrow isn't better, i'll at least end the day with a fresh haircut and dye job.

but "nobody watches women's hockey" sure seems like some people do, chadley!

I have been forced to use Adobe as my ONLY software for PDFs, which I open just about every damn day of my work life. I swear at its shittiness compared to what I used to use before work tightened their belts and limited us to one software only. I swear at it EVERY DAMN DAY.

yes fine weed is legal but why do my neighbours still use the stinkiest form of it AND why do i have to smell it edibles have no odour and you can stay in your house to use them instead of giving me a headache!

PSA: nice weather doesn't mean you can put your dog in the yard and ignore them all day

if anyone needs some good news, my senior hound started meds this week for his arfritis (as the kidlet calls it) now he's feeling too spry to go the heck to bed already so i'm sitting on the couch while he deals with himself 😂

whoever had the referees see/hear/speak no evil signs at the charge game, can we be friends? #pwhl

my uterus is kicking my ass and we're just not gonna talk about the number of so-called two bite brownies i've eaten about it, okay? okay.

the freaking carousel has gotten me so if i miss your photos, blame bluesky

advice my dad should give: don't ignore your taxes just cause you owe money, cause your kid might have to help you figure it out after you've had a stroke and that makes it waaaay more complicated 🫠

Oh thank you!! $880 to go now! We're so close to having April covered! Please keep sharing, it really helps! Paypal: affirmationgin at gmail Cashapp/Venmo: showupforthis gofund.me/74bb276c7

excellent. my team made the playoffs, my kid's team made the playoffs, now my team just needs to not repeat last year's mistake and choose to face hers in the playoffs lolol #pwhl

have abandoned men's hockey so thoroughly that i got very confused by a post about "game 3 of the playoffs" when those haven't started yet... and then i remembered the sens exist. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #pwhl

pet insurance is a good thing and i'm glad i have it so i don't pay thousands for things like tooth extractions, but nearly doubling the monthly cost because i moved a whopping 30 km is OBSCENE

leaving my bedside lamp on after boyface has gone to sleep when we went to bed at the same time: fine, tolerable the idea of turning my lamp on if i come to bed after he did and he's already sleep: FORBIDDEN, WE MUSTN'T DO IT make sense? we don't do that here. 😂

.. gimme ACOTAR. i can make it better. (and uh, kind of am, if i ever finish my WIP and do something about putting it in people's eyeballs)

me doing a kind thing to my friends: YES GOOD I'M DOIN YOU A HECKIN KINDNESS, DEAL WITH IT :) :) :) me when people say or do kind things involving me: HECK STOPPIT

Anyway ALSO everyone should read American Hippo by @sarahgailey.bsky.social because nothing says 'yes fun' like both riding hippos and man eating hippos and queer people. torpublishinggroup.com/american-hip...

Also, people are being fooooooled by oligarchs if they think Canada Post is what's tanking Canada's economy. Truly, congrats on getting scammed by propaganda, my guys.

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Still all out of wit. We're $1135 short with May almost here. I need to increase the goal to cover May but I'm holding off hoping we can clear April first. Not just for the goal but so we don't end up stacking months' of overdue. Who can help get us closer today? Even sharing can make a difference!

did you know: that a bunch of chucklefucks with leaf blowers running around outside at 8am will shockingly *not* improve your mood after a shit night's sleep?
