you mean Snooki has her own PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION TV SHOW?! She’s listening to a spirit box (something that allegedly scans radio waves and spirits can talk through) and she screams and says she heard Lady Gaga. She is a lady of art and science, give me 103947 episodes.
I was looking for resources about how people plan out writing their novels/what does research for a novel look like and the first results were Claude, Grammarly (derogatory), and another AI based tool. I just wanted to,I dunno, learn from a human today.
paid rent and joined the tenants union all in the same 10 minutes. l o l
I hold stories for my kokum about her time in residential school, many she told me in her last few years of life. Sometimes I feel like I don’t know how to be a good steward of these stories now that she’s passed on, because all I feel is a deep boiling pit of rage inside me.
Sometimes I think about how my parents had their first kid at like 19 and 21 and had the both of us by their mid-20s and I PHYSICALLY cannot imagine and I’m 34. They had a teenager by now. And a 9 year old me and all I did was yap, was perpetually bored, and never stopped moving.
I want to scream until my lungs turn inside out but I’m scared if I start I will never be able to stop.
one of my most toxic work traits is that I think everyone should take all their vacation and sick days except me, who assumes everyone is mad when she does (no one is actually mad).
Huge news! Charges against Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum, founders of the Drug User Liberation Front, have been stayed. Judge found parts of Canada's drug laws are unconstitutional and that the compassion club reduced the harms associated with the toxic drug crisis. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

watching paranormal investigator YouTube and writing a short story. fiction gives me anxiety.
You should not be doing three rounds of interviews for a campus club, you should be sitting on a porch listening to music with your friends. Early careerism is poison.
while I was up north this weekend for my grandpa's birthday myles cleaned the clutter off my desk and my bedside and bought me fresh flowers 😭
how do white hairs grow so damn fast. I went to bed last night and swear to god I didn't notice any long white hair in my bangs. This morning, like five have popped up in a little cluster. Why can't the other hair on my head grow with such determination?
Canada's National AI Strategy received strategic insight from the 28-member expert AI Strategy Task Forced which had 0 representation from environmental conservation organizations or Indigenous governance representation (such as a representatives from the AFN, MNC, or ITK).
Reading Canada's National AI Strategy after reading the UN's 2019 Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services has me like
many things horrify me about the rapid decline of our environment and the destruction of nature, but one of the things that horrifies me the most is the loss of biodiversity in nature due to human intervention in selective crop and animal husbandry.
I always thought my dad was the most forgetful guy because he was constantly leaving his lunch bag and Tupperware at work... now I get it. I have left nearly every single Tupperware at work. and all our spoons. and most our forks. turns out I'M the most forgetful guy. sorry dad.
why are baby boomers and Gen X getting AI to generate a photo of them in the 80s? babes you WERE THERE.
I'm not worried about AI taking my job because this is Word's suggested edit to my question: "What are the structural gaps of trauma informed practice neglect?"
“we didn’t pie you mama!” is my new email sign off. thank you love island.
if God was real he’d let me be a fly on the wall when some staffer explains to Trump what This Hour Has 22 Minutes is.
today would have been my kokum's 89th birthday. saturday will be two years since she passed. her death marked a fundamental change in my life that I'm still figuring out what's on the other side. grief is such a force.
I haven’t heard the actual crackle of lightening since I lived at home. This storm is wild. Myles and I got drenched walking half a block. A particularly loud boom of thunder set off someone’s car alarm.
funniest pro-AI argument I've seen is someone being like "if you're so anti-AI if ChatGPT, Claude, etc. disappeared suddenly what would you do?" like babes, literally nothing. the biggest change in my life would be an immense relief.
what level of life crisis am I at where I'm now investing in making... miniatures?
I’m fully knee deep in Halloween crafts. I’m embracing my delusions. I’m over summer. August is my flyover month.

If you’ve ever wanted a T-shirt repping a racist Canadian group pushing for mass deportations, your purchase is just a few clicks away — all thanks to Shopify. When I reached out to them, they said "we don’t remove merchants over objections to their worldview.” Wow. My latest for @thetyee.ca:
