Just here to follow & read what others are saying. From New Westminster, BC. I love cats, Christmas, and - oddly considering I'm mostly homebound - public transit. Social anxiety sometimes mutes me, but I'm still here trying to be part of the fun.

Catober Day 2: Ron #cats #catober
A banner at the top reads, "Friday, October 2." Below, there's brief poem: "He's usually alert/This Ragdoll named Ron/But one time he forgot/His camera was on." The illustration shows a conference room with two professional-looking cats sitting at a table. They're having a meeting and looking at a big screen on the wall. Ron is on the screen and he's in the middle of licking his rear end, his leg stuck up in the air. He is staring out at them, looking surprised. A banner at the bottom reads, "Catober: 31 days. 31 cats."

In response to David Eby lowering the province-wide gas tax by 10¢, TransLink should, in response, raise their separate fuel levy by 10¢ to make up the difference 😌 Purely by coincidence, the TL board is meeting right now.

My daily cat calendar that I frequently forget to check has provided me with a very useful piece of notepaper this month!
A daily calendar sheet with a fact:
“The Canadian Parliamentary Cats were a clowder of stray cats living in a cat sanctuary on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada, between 1924 and 2013. The famous felines received up to 300 visitors a day.”

Below this is a note written by me:
“Political canvassers
Please do not knock on my door
Very high social anxiety!

Leave pamphlets and I will review them
Thanks! :)”

Just when I think I can’t hate OpenAI and Sam Altman any more, new details come out about how ChatGPT helped a shooter plan one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history in Tumbler Ridge, BC. OpenAI made an explicit decision not to report the user to authorities.

I am finding it very difficult to absorb wordy things this week. If anyone asked me to go beyond a surface-level description of any issue right now I'm pretty sure my brain would leak out through my nose and leave a letter of resignation atop my vacant husk.

Cleaning up my room, decided to remind myself what was on a box that’s just been sat there for years. Found my childhood jewellery box filled with random trinkets that I had deemed Special while growing up including, of course, one obligatory millennial saved sticker to be used only upon my demise
Peeking inside a jewellery box we see in the forefront a pin that says, “FIRST NIGHT Vancouver 2000 New Year’s Eve”, and a red singer with oversized shoes attached to a man holding a microphone and holding out his hand in what I imagine was a cool gesture from my youth, the sticker is shiny and changes colours on the character’s jacket and backpack. Behind these we can see the mirror in the jewellery box scribbled with “I love you mom”

Poppy the cat is in her cat carrier letting out pleading meows. She is being taken to the vet for a followup where they will proceed to pet her gently and briefly look in her mouth to confirm if she can play with chewy toys again. She would like you to know that I am the WORST 😾

It has been sixteen years since a fire occurred at my apartment building. Anything that smells smoky still sets me off, running around checking doorknobs fearing my building is on fire, standing in the hallway looking odd to a neighbour that wasn't here and doesn't understand.

Customers across B.C. may be experiencing flickering lights, power interruptions, and fluctuations in power due to wildfire activity near Kelly Lake affecting transmission lines. The wildfire has caused an increase in transmission trips, resulting in momentary power disturbances. Active wildfire conditions prevent safe access to the area at this time. We continue to monitor the situation. Thank you for your patience.

Do we know what’s causing the flickering and I missed an article somewhere? Or are we all just deciding to run on theories and spooky panic vibes?

One of the best ways to deal with a gaslighter is to refuse to engage. That includes engaging with and sharing media content that's showcasing their gaslighting. Engaging also perpetuates the action - media clings to stories and draws them out until enough people stop engaging. So don't engage.

Today is my birthday and the day Poppy came home, so naturally my gifts were double-wrapped in tissue paper and placed inside boxes lined with tissue paper. Poppy is in tissue heaven, and I now have a new object to display alongside my other bathroom flamingo decor 😜
A smiling avocado - apparently ignorant to the flesh wound exposing its innards and refusing to question where its other half has gone - is wearing a white floral lei and clutching a drink with its right hand, its left hand is holding the neck of the flamingo pool floatie that it is sitting inside with its little avocado legs dangling off the edge.

We finally got the opportunity to bring some donations up to New To You thrift store. We didn't know they weren't taking donations right now but they kindly accepted them anyway - I'm pretty sure mum walked out with at least the same number of books we dropped off 😄 I miss having them in Sapperton!
