Thanks. It's good to meet you and I hope you have the best day possible.

having worked in healthcare, sometimes it seems so random or entirely luck based. Billy sustains a miniscule cut while gardening, ends up with necrotizing fasciitis requiring multiple surgeries and an ICU stay, while Steve falls through the skylight at the broken glass factory and sprains his ankle.

I've got MS and anemia and I've been through periods of being bed ridden and it's ass. I'm sorry you're dealing with that. Bodies seem very poorly engineered.

that is true, I did sell my soul so that this portrait I have will get old and deal with the effects of my hedonistic lifestyle instead of me unfortunately I don't really like drinking or drugs and go to bed by 9 so we look pretty much the same. Should've asked for teleportation instead.

So why is the firefighter's union in #yyj endorsing someone who makes transphobic tweets? They're talking a lot about public safety, but I guess the safety of trans people doesn't count.
Screenshot of tweet from Toronto Sun with picture of Alberta premier Danielle Smith at a podium. Caption is "Alberta seeks to block trans athletes from female competition but can't say how many will be impacted". Response from Wendy Bowkett, Victoria council hopeful who is being aggressively endorsed by the Victoria Fire Fighters' Union, reads: "Great to see government stepping up to protect woman's and girl's rights and safeguarding children. Wish we could see more of this across the country and around the world". Screenshot of tweet with pictures from a protest for trans rights from Randy Boissonnault. Randy's tweet reads "trans rights are human rights. It's long past time for Premier Smith to stop attacking the most vulnerable in Alberta. We must protect and support trans youth."
Response from Victoria council hopeful Wendy Bowkett who is being aggressively endorsed by the Victoria Firefighter's Union: "Men's rights are men's rights. Always have been, always will be. Now stand up for women's and girl's rights. We haven't had them for long, so stop trying to give them away. We say NO. No means no."

One of their picks is... definitely something.

One of their picks is Wendy Bowkett, who believes we should ban trans women from competing in women's sports.

can we have an eject button for both Boogaloo boys and uteruses? Something entirely nonviolent: a teleportation thing. We find or create a habitable but uninhabited Earth-like planet and teleport all unwanted uteruses and Boogaloo boys there

Well, shit. I wish I was a billionaire so I could fund everyone who wants to leave the US. Which is why if I was a billionaire I wouldn't be a billionaire because I'd spend my money on fixing shit and helping people.

Perimenopause? No. I don't want to parry menopause. I want to stop parrying menopause. Will they won't they is fine for Jane Austen novels but not for vast hormonal and physical changes in my body. I want menopause to just give'r. I want accelerator menopause. I want all gas no brakes menopause.

If you've got any kind of healthcare background, BC is actively recruiting. It's expensive here but the weather in the southwestern part is generally MS-compatible.

So many drivers here act homicidal, and their behaviour is consistently blamed on bike lanes I was getting punish passed, coal rolled + dealing with attempted doorings before bike lanes were a thing. No enforcement + vulnerable road user safety decried as "ideology" brings out the worst in drivers

I worry about kids sometimes because AI is only getting better at fakes. And the evidence of cognitive decline in chronic users is concerning. I just don't understand what this is all in aid of - doesn't seem like it's helping regular folks much. Is it just seeing how far we can take it?

Lyndsey @lyndseybee.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
yeah it's not great. Some teachers are against it but a shocking number seem to be leaning into it, encouraging kids to use AI to do assignments. I don't even know what to do. I feel like a weirdo sometimes.

One of the most important things you learn in school is how to learn. Things like where to look for answers, how to find sources of accurate information. How to suss out fakery. You can't learn those things from relying on AI summaries as your source of truth.

My kid's teachers are leaning heavily on AI in the classroom and it makes me feel so defeated What is the point of going to school to learn if your instructor is giving you an AI overview of the info in place of an actual lesson? What is the point of a teaching degree?

Tbf I only half read it because it started like "do you think we are handwaving shitty behaviour from dudes a bit too much and that's a problem?" and then went on to "actually it's kind of a thing where dudes are just shitty once they reach a certain age" and my eyes rolled out of my head

More than 38,000 residential school survivors testified to the abuse they experienced as children. Next September, Canada plans to destroy their records.

Canada plans to destroy thousands of residential school testimonies. These women are trying to save them
The 38,000 testimonies are the largest body of evidence about children’s experiences in these institutions. Journalist Connie Walker and lawyer Kimberly Murray say losing it would mean losing history — both painful and illuminating

no one is deflecting from anything. I have done no wrong and have nothing to apologize for. I am pointing out the realities of my disability and you are dismissing them because you feel that since you also have a disability and you can do things, I should be able to as well. this is called ableism.

It's ok. I honestly was worried about posting that because the amount of shit I get from vegans when I say stuff like that is unreal, and I've had worse: borderline eugenics shit. I thought we'd maybe moved past that as a society. Guess not.

yeah. ever since that became more of a thing I've been eating more chicken and fish because there's coconut and/or palm oil in nearly everything that is vegan, and if there isn't, there's boatloads of sugar.

dunno man, can't eat palm or coconut oil and when I asked whether or not they use it the owner didn't respond so I support Pure Lovin downtown and Kid Sister in Esquimalt because they've been open with me about ingredients I'm sure Bunny's is lovely but I can't afford to take chances

Sure, we could lean into pedestrianizaton and bus lanes by making pop up shops around transit hubs and bike thru coffee/pastry stores but nope, these absolute morons think making people buy and maintain cars and pay for parking will magically make them have more money to spend on fun things.

Also she was saying that cyclists should always dismount in crosswalks even those marked with elephant feet. She believed this was the law and despite being informed otherwise held to her opinion. Not sure if she's changed

Lyndsey @lyndseybee.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
I only remember her from an Esquimalt community page where she was saying that drivers shouldn't automatically stop and check for pedestrians and cyclists at the e&n crossing on Wilson because cyclists and pedestrians would get a false sense of security.
