It's legitimate for the EU, the UK, Canada and others to support their Ukrainian ally. If Musk is going to (in effect) assist Putin's invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine's allies should sanction Starlink, X and Tesla. At the very least, governments (and people) should stop using his fucking site already.

If this isn't the biggest fecking wake up call to Europe that you can't trust the US & that we really need to develop oor own Satellite Systems faster then perhaps you're a bot or a traitor. Helping to kill children for Putin. Countries need to bin Starlink. 🙄 www.reuters.com/world/europe...

It's been many years since I first understood this: The concept of linear time makes so much more sense when you actually get enough sleep. Asking coworkers how THEY handle the constant jolting awake and not knowing what year it is, or how they time-travelled to there, is a sign you need a union.

Speaking out about this is the BARE MINIMUM If defending #MarkCarney is more important than defending trans kids in #Alberta, than you are not an ally. You are what conservatives call you - virtue signalling frauds. Trans kids are literally unaliving themselves in Alberta.

Thank you, friend. The job market is extra bleak when one's ten+ years of experience come from an adjacent field. Time for another expensive piece of paper. There is, of course, a danger of becoming perfect. I'm willing to take that chance, though.

No one's been hiring me, so I enrolled in a certification programme for copyediting and proofreading. Access to the student portal opened up this morning, and I've already reported a broken hyperlink to the university, but apparently I still have to complete the course.

I love that! However, since one of my final shows was an adaptation of The Metamorphosis, I have named him Gregor. When I find new exoskeletons and bring them inside, I'll make sure one is named Cordelia.

I have only a couple of maquettes left in my possession, from my previous career as a production designer, and I recently gave this little one a new spot on some new shelving. Related: I finally found the perfect place to put the cicada exoskeleton I had been saving since the summer.

A half-inch scale model of a set design for a play that was produced almost twenty years ago in Toronto. It is hand-built and hand-painted. The design elements include: a weathered hardwood floor with an irregular jagged edge, as if it has been smashed away. Under the floor boards, we can see pages from diaries, books, and magazines, as if they have been hidden away and then discovered like a time capsule. The back wall is partial, and suggests the small bay window of a terrace house on one side, and a cramped stairwell on the other side, as if the house has been broken into even smaller units. There are large packing boxes, a half-moon table, a stained mid-century settee, and at downstage centre, there is a cicada exoskeleton sitting backwards on a wooden kitchen chair, like a youth pastor.

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

Ten years later, this was the second-to-last invasive plant that came with the property that I had yet to remove. Tomorrow morning, my favourite local arborist is coming over to take a look at the enormous Wintercreeper that envelops the NE side of the house. This week feels momentous.

Pulled out the last of the (invasive) Vinca tonight. I'll put down good soil and get roots in the ground tomorrow. In the month it took me to get through this sidewalk-adjacent patch, I endured smarmy canvassers, weird randos, and tonight: a neighbour's adult kid crashing ALL the way out.

An area of about 8m² that used to be Vinca (Periwinkle) and is now bare soil. Not pictured is a fifty-year-old woman with a hernia who is very aware that she didn't plant the Vinca in the first place, and who needs to lie down and have a cocktail.

It's ok to have voted for Carney, I get it. What isn't acceptable is refusing to hold him and his government accountable for their actions. Democracy requires far more from us than just voting.
