Definitely struggling a bit to get back to work on my personal goals after getting back from vacation. Gym and writing are hard. But I'll get back to it.

Back in Ottawa! The 24 hours flying was brutal, but I had such a lovely time down under.

8th Bingham down! It gets harder every time, but I still love it and my teammates. This year, I didn't manage much beyond playing. Even had to skip closing ceremonies and team dinner (got sick!) But I made it through 4 days of rugby at 43. That's a triumph.

Thank you for this update. Your communication is exceptional. Personally disappointing, as I live near Pinecrest station. "New Ways To Bus" increased my commute by about 20 minutes, getting rid of the 282—and now this? Still, I can take the 88 or 68 to Baseline station once that's up.

As a resident, I'm really looking forward to the baseline BRT. So I'm glad that's one of your priorities.

Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take
Three panel comic titled Unethical Fiction: 
1. Made with AI
2. Printed on human skin
3. The author uses their profits to fund a hate group.

Your ability to distinguish good ideas from bad depends on your experience. Someone with more experience can give pointers that help you learn faster. Yes. But LLMs do not think like humans. They do not have taste. And so you lose your own experience and taste to a machine that has none.

That's awesome! Do you know if the Pinecrest bridge will get any similar treatment in the coming days, especially with the new LRT station opening there? I walk across the Pinecrest bridge almost daily, and it's... not ideal, especially in winter.

My fashion sense is unique, which is useful when heading out to writing meetups. People recognise me (though several said it took them a second because my hair wasn't pink. I need to fix that)

I was really hoping you wouldn't be a NIMBY. We need developments like this next to the LRT. It'll get more people using transit and off the roads, decrease housing prices, and prevent sprawl.

I thought polishing my 2nd novel would be a 20-30 hour endeavor. Instead, it's a 120-hour endeavor. Minimum. Sigh. But this shows how much I've grown as a writer. I had already gone over this prose so many times, and I still can make it so much more gorgeous.

I used to use Scriviner, but not anymore. Now I just have a Google keep file I paste all the links in. Works great.
