While trying to get myself out the corner I’ve written myself into, I amuse myself baking sourdough bread, gardening on the deck, and taking aurora photos. Usually while being serenaded by a chorus of frogs or songbirds. Life’s good at the lake.

Geez, after vacuuming, making up guest beds, cleaning bathrooms, shaping burger buns, prepping cinnamon rolls, cleaning kitchen, am I sitting in my happy comfy chair and reading? No, I’m on my freaking *exercise* bike because I’m apparently a masochist.

The persecution of Dr. Fauci is a disgrace. Why doesn't a Canadian university invite Anthony Faucci to Canada to take up residence as a professor emeritus? The federal government should take efforts to fast track the move.

A dark day for human rights.
four frame comic. first frame shows the logo of amnesty international. second frame shows jk rowling, smiling in the dark. third frame shows an empty classroom, with a pride poster almost falling from the wall. fourth frame shows a trans flag flying in the wind. text above all the images reads : 
on july 8th, amnesty Inter-
national uk published a report
titled “A Growing Threat: The
Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.”
it listed 117 orgs, including anti-
trans and anti-queer ones
backed by jk rowling.
the backlash was immediate
and brutal : rowling pledged
to cover the fees of anyone
who wished to sue amnesty.
the report was taken down
within 48 hours.
this morning (july 31st), amnesty
fully capitulated and released
an apology to anti-trans orgs,
which, it said, should not have
been "collectively labelled as
anti-rights". rowling
celebrated.
an organisation that
bravely faced fascist regimes
and reported human rights
violations for 65 years has caved
to rowling's power and bigotry.
it's a dark day for human rights.

Ronald Reagan ignored the AIDS crisis—and his “dear friend” from Hollywood, Rock Hudson, who asked for help. Dr. Fauci jumped in and helped. Guess which guy the homophobic ghouls in the Republican Party revere today.

Huh. For the first time ever, ChatGPT initiated a conversation with me. We’re going to a hobby horse themed party, and I asked for ideas on making a horse. Today it asked if I wanted suggestions for horse names, games, interview questions for horse and rider. All pretty hysterical. 🦄

Afternoon so far: prep 2 bags dak galbi marinade for chicken thighs & 1 bag teriyaki for salmon; prep 4 trays buns w/ cheese & Ital spice. Do you think it will hurt Mommy & Daddy’s fee-fees if I put up a sign at the potluck saying “If your kid doesn’t like spice, tell them to pick something else!”

On Spec magazine had a do-it-yourself ethos, a positive mandate, guided not by lucre, but by art and passion and inclusivity. The best aspects of fandom. After 35 years it shut its doors ... but also earned its first Hugo Award nomination. I'll be voting for On Spec for Semiprozine. 1/2
On Spec #129 has a cover with a cyborg orca jumping out of the surf.

I have to say it. I am mightily sick of books about sad, helpless, clueless women. Yes, they exist. I was one of them in a different lifetime. I feel their pain. But I do not want to read 300, 400 pages while they maybe - maybe! - get out of the morass that’s their life. I want to read…

And now the wait. My guy is in for endoscope and colonoscopy, having endured the days of no fibre meals and the Giant Jug o’Yuck, and even though he’ll only be 2 hrs, hospital is 30 min from home. I brought a good book, and I have sunshine coming through the window at my back. ❤️

Hero story: The people in Collins First Nation had minutes to escape the wildfire. 13-year-old Chance Paavola was piloting an emergency escape vessel when he saw an overcrowded boat on the verge of sinking. He turned back, helped save the passengers just before the flames closed in.

The table is factually sound and reflects real data from the National Interagency Fire Center and Canadian wildfire agencies as of mid-July 2026. It’s a fair apples-to-apples comparison on reported fire starts, even if the two countries manage and experience wildfires differently.

NEW: Family of missing 11 y/o Parker issues a statement on his disappearance as well along with some photos of him.
We are sharing the following statement on behalf of Parker's family.
 
Parker is a loved son, brother and friend. Our family is heartbroken by his disappearance.
 
Since he went missing, our family has been living every parent's worst nightmare. Every hour that passes without knowing where he is or whether he is safe has been incredibly difficult for us.
 
We are asking everyone in the community to keep an eye out for Parker. Please check your neighbourhoods, parks, green spaces, yards, sheds, garages, hot tubs and other places where he may have found shelter.
 
Parker experiences the world in his own way. He may not respond when his name is called, and he can become frightened when approached by people he does not know.
 
If you see Parker, please do not approach him. Give him space and call police immediately with his location.
 
A single sighting, a piece of video footage, or one small detail could help bring him home safely. Our only wish right now is to know that he is safe and to bring him home.
 
The support from our community has been overwhelming. To everyone who has searched, shared his photo, provided information, or kept Parker in your thoughts, thank you. Knowing that so many people care and are looking for our son has given us strength during the most difficult time of our lives.
 
Parker is deeply loved, and he is missed immensely. We just want our son home.
