Like. If I'm faced with the sentiment "what the fuck is this sentence even doing?", things are bad.

Dear all media: if you do not provide closed captions on your videos, they are useless. I often want to read news/watch news when in public spaces, and because I'm not a monster, I do so without sound.

It's wicked easy to include auto captions at the very least. Not doing so is lazy. Why not make your products accessible?

Welp. It's another "fuck that shit o'clock" day all day today, looks like.

I'm having serious issues with the way things appear to be unfolding to the south. Things aren't great in Canada for many folk, and I'm horrified that the BS I've seen down south is migrating north.

Just this morning in traffic was stuck behind a jizzblister with more flags in the bed of his truck than a gorram honour guard. The topmost flag said "F*ck Trudeau", and the other flags were national or provincial flags.

I've never wanted to ram another vehicle more than I did this morning.

Hey columnists.
Canadian teens have been struggling with mental health ever since teens were invented. We only started paying attention when we were all locked up together through the pandemic and actually saw our children more than 2 hours a day.

I get *unreasonably* grumpy when I can't book services (like massage) online. My favourite massage place does not allow online booking and that alone results in my needing a massage.

FFS.

The idea that it’s somehow immoral to get or be naked *in a change room*, whether or not there are children present, really picks my butt.

Change rooms *are for changing*.

Naked bodies *are not dirty or wrong*.

If someone is naked in a change room, it’s because they’re changing. Sometimes, people even SHOWER in there. And some people shower NAKED.

*gasp*!

I was just saying to myself: self, it’s been a long time since you had stomach flu or food poisoning. What a way to feel alive.

I’m’a need you to remind me that although I love shiitake, I should not eat a bunch of shiitake two days in a row because it does continue to ferment in my gut and while I adore farting loudly and frequently, as you know, the secondary effect shiitake sometimes have is a useful, albeit laxative one. Maybe we should just rename them shiitalotke.

It’s just that I worry that I’m dying every time. Every. Single. Time.

Same with period poops. You think I’d remember about those too.

We fucking BUILT that shit, boyo.

Yeah. Go ahead and explain TikTok to me, person who was born after Pokemon was invented.

I'm sick of hearing that all we have to do to 'fix' the health care system is get private enterprise to build more hospitals (insert partisan dig at whatever previous governments have done) and hire more front line workers.

Where are those workers coming from? Who's training them? How expensive is their education? Are we paying them equitably? Where are their positions? Why

ITAP out the window at my office. The first one is unedited. In the second I farted around with editing.

Neither health nor education should be for-profit. Allowing (or encouraging) public service sectors to be part of a for-profit business model is a human rights violation. Nobody should ever have to choose between health care and food, or between a good education and food.

Today I decorated the tree, made shortbread, cleaned the dining room, went to the shops, sent invites for a weekend game, got groceries, checked the post, and made supper. I feel like that’s enough until February.

Me: Welp! I guess I’ll run into town for some last minute gifts and to pick up stuff that got delivered in town.

Also me: IF I CANNOT WEAR MY HEATED BLANKIE I SHAN’T LEAVE. IT IS CRUELLY COLD. I SHALL NEED A LONGER EXTENSION CORD.

Also also me: fuck it. I’m staying in a hot bath literally all day.

The junk haulers just sent photos of the old house now that it’s completely cleaned out. I wish my father could’ve enjoyed a cleaned out house and shop, but the place is so ready for its next family! It’s exciting! I Hope they love the light and the creaks and groans as much as we did!

Content warning:politics, COVID

So this is a page right out of Stephen Harper’s playbook: defund/destabilize research as much as you can after you muzzle researchers so strictly they can’t engage in public discourse without Big Brother forcing their research through so many bureaucratic hoops and spins that it’s not even worth it.

These assholes.

Yeah.
I turned off the M/T crossposter.

It turns out I'm using Mastodon a little differently from how I used Twitter. Don't need to cross the streams.
