JM is a great dad and husband. I once told him one day he'd pick up the Biped and put her back down and it would be the last time he ever did it. And he is HAUNTED by this.

I have 2 separate long, thin cuts on my hand that look like wide, thin lipped mouths that talk to me like puppets when I flex my fingers. I am imagining they are two thin-lipped Englishmen tersely arguing in the most polite way.

Spent most of my personal day just trying to catch up with all the little house chores and cleaning that I haven't been able to get around to and I've barely scratched the surface. Too tired to write now, so it's time to play some video games before I have to make dinner.

I debated whether to share this since it feels like a cheap shot but at least one of my fellow BEY voters put this up on a lamppost, these are people who've had the closest experience with BB:

New from me at TVO, on a new report from the Toronto Board of Trade arguing for why we need more provincial control over zoning (and what it has to do with prefab housing.) www.tvo.org/article/anal...

tvo.org

ANALYSIS: Should the province rip up Toronto’s zoning rules? | TVO Today

A new report argues that the city is getting in its own way — and wants Queen’s Park to step in.

My stupid brain has decided that I need to make a fake movie trailer about a baseball league that puts out an ad for a new umpire, except there's a typo and they accidentally hire a vampire instead.

I've been seeing this in my ailing father, where he insists on a pointless change and orders people to do his bidding because in a state of entropy, any change looks like meaningful progress. They rage, rage against the dying of the light because they can see the long tunnel ahead.

Marketing a book when the world sucks is hard But if you need an escape and want to read about a girl with a gun getting her vengeance on against some bad men, check out THE DEVIL'S REVOLVER series and watch a young woman go outlaw against a system that sucks. www.devilsrevolver.com

In this case, I think he's going to need to go 2 sizes down, and it was cheap enough that I could just get him a new one (from Uniqlo)

If you're asleep and I stab you, that's consent, right? If you're passed out drunk and I stab you, that's consent, right? If I gave you drugs and you're out of your mind and I stab you, that's consent, right? If you say no and I insist it'll feel good when I stab you YOU SEE HOW THIS WORKS YET?
