Man, Depp v. Heard continues to be an excellent litmus test for ppl whose opinions can be safely discarded. Person is vocally anti-Heard? They're an easily led dumbass, an easily led misogynist, or both.

There are many reasons to help people. One that I think gets overlooked sometimes is: helping others often helps you. So if you feel like shit, don’t flagellate yourself in the dark. Leave your head a little. Extend some kindness. You can’t do everything, but you can do some things.

A black and white comic page. A person sits at the bottom of a whole, endlessly anxiety rambling to themself. A speech bubble yelling “HELP!” cuts through. The person stands up and peers out the hole, seeing a figure lying injured on the ground with people starting to gather around. The person says “Hold on, man! I got you!” Another person in the corner says “Y’all need water? Bandages?”

After a year+ of procrastinating, I've finally put together @nukit.bsky.social's Tempest air purifier, inspired by the fact I'm desperately trying to avoid my partner's COVID. 😭 Anyway, it's sleek as hell and runs so, so quiet. I particularly like the handles built into the top panel.

N... not to sound dismissive, but I really think both Canadians and Americans severely overestimate how much the rest of the world cares or notices? I don't think most of Europe even remembers Canada exists most of the time, tbh, let alone pays attention to the flag. Sorry.

I’m hearing from many residents who are concerned about the City of Ottawa’s direction that all staff must work in the office five days each week. Like you, I was surprised to learn about this directive.

What a cowardly response by the school. I'm not particularly hopeful that OCDSB will do the right thing, but I wrote to the principal and a couple of other OCDSB administrators, and I hope other people do the same. Bright young students should not be punished for shining a light on atrocities.

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

Did you know that today is the anniversary of abortion being decriminalized in Canada? That only happened because a Holocaust survivor grew up to be a doctor and insisted on performing safe abortions even though it was illegal. Just, you know.. somethin' to think about right now for no reason!

My Bread and Roses-adjacent story: I do config/troubleshooting for library software. "Bread and roses" is my go-to test OPAC search, because the first page of results has: 1) a book we own in print, 2) a book we own as an e-resource, and 3) a book we don't own but can get through interlibrary loan

As we go marching, marching, in the beauty of the day A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts grey Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses For the people hear us singing: "Bread and roses, bread and roses"

The reason A.I. is being shoved down our throats is shareholders want a return on their investment. Every company that integrates this crappy tech into their products knows you don't want it, but they've sunk too much money into it and don't care. Turn it off, don't use it, don't look back.

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it
