i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Sitting on a bench on the seawall and the dude on the next bench over is playing on a recorder. An actual recorder. The thing we all tortured our parents with in grade 3. What is going on. (He’s as good as I was when I was 8 too.)

Two years of being consistently overheated. Always. Forever. Losing my shit on my spouse when it gets above 20. Except this week, apparently. This week I’m back to being cold, even when it’s 22-23 inside. What. The. Fuck. Perimenopause, could you just make a decision and stick with it?

Look I appreciate Truth & Reconciliation Day as an important thing that means a lot but ALSO there’s now a stat holiday the day after my birthday which means I can take two days off work and turn my birthday into a five day weekend. So anyway, see you next Thursday, coworkers.

Has a certain recent movie trailer (ahem, "Wicker") sparked an urge in you to dive into the thick rods and slender weavers of basket weaving (either because of or in spite of what they’re called 😉)?

Have a strong desire (that will almost certainly peter out in like, 3 days) to come up with a “Spinster” persona for the purposes of ren faire performances, subverting the “old maid” stereotype back to its historical roots, a woman who can financially support herself without a man via spinning.

“Butcher and Blackbird” by Brynne Weaver has no business being this good for a book with a content warning list longer than my forearm that includes “accidental cannibalism” and “questionable use of a mummified corpse”. Considering how much I enjoyed “Lights Out” I guess I’m into dark romance now.

I agreed to do a fibre arts presentation to my building community. I’m actually kinda excited about it. My plan is to just … bring a bunch of tools and machines out and see what people wanna talk about/learn about/see demonstrated. Spinning wheels, knitting machines, carders, etc. I’ve got it all.

I was reminded of a song I have not heard in at LEAST 25 years, but listened to an absolute shit ton when I was 18… and somehow I still know all the words. And I feel 18 again when I listen to it. (“First Day of Spring” by the Gandharvas, for those playing at home.)

I worked for Telus on web portals. My cubicle was next to the department that had an AP feed. We were glued to the tv and the AP feed all day, but also technically “on alert” (blinds drawn don’t stand near windows) because telecommunications is a potential target. Most surreal day of my life.

Update: Endless Dungeon was hysterical. I was fully anticipating and looking forward to a 2 hour anti-capitalist rant from Brennan Lee Mulligan and TO MY ABSOLUTE PLEASURE got an anti-AI rant thrown in for free. Worth every penny. Also I wanna play a muscle wizard.

Dan and I are at the QE for Brennan Lee Mulligan’s Endless Dungeon, and the Playhouse next door has a show with the Queer Film Festival, so it’s just multicolored hair people EVERYWHERE.

Left the house at 8:33. Went down to the bike room, got bike, biked kid to school (about 2km.) Arrived at 8:45. Stood there a few minutes marveling at how big my kid is getting (and how puberty is starting to make him a real pill at times). Biked home. Walked in the door at 8:58. Bikes are great.

In (slightly) less political news (because everything is political, even wool) my newest sheep fleece arrived from Manitoba today. Courtesy of Diana, my SponsorSheep at @longwayhomestead.bsky.social, I am now the proud owner of a stunning Shetland fleece with an amazing color range. Mmm, stinky!

Thoroughly disappointed at the news from OneCity today but also begrudgingly accepting because the threat of ABC is far too high to risk splitting the vote. I hate everything about that statement but our shitty first past the post political system means that we have to play these stupid games.

As a charitable advocacy organization, HUB Cycling and all its local committees (including the VULC) must remain apolitical, particularly during election seasons. But if your platform includes ripping out existing bike lanes, we're probably not going to like it.

I have a tradition of going to the local cafe on the first day of school. This will be the last time I do this, because Babysaur will be in high school next year. omg.

If you truly believe that "AI is here and not going away", you should be pushing for either hard regulation of this thing or for UBI or something that can guarantee that everyone affected by it will still be able to survive.

I started playing I Was A Teenage Exocolonist again and was reminded that if there’s a better “coming of age” game that captures puberty, growing up, teen drama, and oh, all while living on a hostile planet with a bunch of fuckwit military shitheels, I’ve not played it. Damn this is good.

Introduced Babysaur to the Dish of the Day in HHGTTG (from the 1981 tv series). Asked him how he’d react if he went to a restaurant and a genetically modified animal offered up a part of its rump for dinner. “Zero stars, the pig was freaky.”
