Screncap from Twitter from Rob Flack reading in part: "Our government is not proceeding with consultations on potential changes to Ontario’s tenancy lease framework regarding month-to-month leases. We will continue to implement other common-sense reforms to strengthen the province’s rental housing market. Full statement below:"

The Ontario government reverses course and announces today it won't scrap rent control, after proposing the change on Thursday.

Many tenants voiced anger at the government and tenant groups vowed they would put up a strong fight.

🚨 ONTARIO RED ALERT THREAD 🚨

Famous last words: I have an important update.

As always, he offers blunt musical critique. 😅

Thanks Furthermoore. I‘m learning the real ones now, and they’re not so bad.

Literally no one will care about this, but I spent the last two weeks learning a set of preces and responses.

They’re the wrong ones. 😭

Annnnd his butt is currently in the “chin scratcher,” as God intended.

“…the hard truth is, our systems aren’t built for people who step back.”

What could building better ones look like?

“But I do know this: stepping back from the feed doesn’t make your life smaller. It simply reveals which connections were built to last without proof.”

I think that’s part of it.

I stopped posting on social media and it made me invisible. Now, I live somewhere in between The hard truth is, our systems aren’t built for people who step back. If you don’t show up in the feed, you fall away

This article resonated with me (I say, with full awareness of the irony of posting about it here). I have largely “opted out,”, and I’ve largely seen the same patterns unfold. It’s a strange modern hermitage: peace, privacy, and often, silence.

KT’s hand holding a sugar cookie decorated to look like an adorable fox face.

Long, challenging week, so I rehearsed in the choir room by myself for 3 hours, then I got a cute cookie and took a long walk.

Self-care takes many forms.

Excited for this sequel to his unrequited crush on the cat across the hall (who has, sadly, moved away).

I have explained to Guinness that they are playing an outside game and he is an indoor cat.

My cat Guinness, the cat with the world's worst FOMO, desperately wants to play fetch with my neighbour's dog, leading me to the window and screaming to go outside whenever he sees them.

Our music director frequently exhorts us to get as close as we can to “too much,” while still staying on the right side of good taste, and honestly I think that’s good general life advice.

A package of chocolate bars. It was clearly meant to hold ten bars (as it did several years ago) but there is a noticeable empty space and the packing says 8 bars.

Don’t think of shrinkflation as the least amount you’ve had of something. Think of it as the most you’ll ever have again. /s

Whenever they flash the warning that some language in this episode may not be suitable for all viewers, I know someone’s dropping a “Tabarnac.”

I was on Front yesterday, forgetting it was the Ex and unaware there was a Jays game.

…many people lack spatial awareness on sidewalks.

Overly dramatic promotional image for Radio-Canada's medical drama STAT, featuring members of the cast (doctors and nurses) standing on top of the show's hospital setting, the fictional "Hôpital Saint-Vincent."

I have an unexpected free evening

I have one (1) beer

...I think it is time to watch STAT until my eyes bleed and I forget words in both English and French

Amen.

Screenshot of a newspaper headline that reads, “Post-COVID, public servants are taking more sick days.”

“After a global pandemic that 1) affected many people’s immune systems in ways we don’t fully understand yet, and 2) showed why not spreading viruses to others is Good, Actually, people doing more in-office work are taking more of the sick leave that’s part of their total compensation.”

Premee, I’m so sorry. Guinness and I are thinking of you all. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if there’s action we can take from here, in addition to spreading the word. Also don’t hesitate if to reach out if you just need a vent - we got you.

A line of 4-part vocal music. The alto line is a string of middle C's, one after the next, after the next, after the next. Eventually, a few E's and a D make an appearance.

Me: I can double my sight-reading practice by also singing the alto line!

The alto line:

A large brown and yellow snail rests on a dandelion, in a wetland environment.

Oh, to be as chill as this snail, hanging out on a flower early on a summer morning.

Just a pinch! It’s another salt - the combination of the sodium, sugar, and citric acid is the magic, apparently.

I’ve had it! It’s not bad.

The “Pioneer Gatorade” I used to make on really hot days was water, honey, lemon juice, salt, and baking soda. 😁

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Toronto man who races TTC streetcars on foot keeps on winning A Toronto man appears to have answered a question that those stuck in traffic have been asking themselves since time immemorial: can I get to my destination faster on foot?

This is hilarious. But also sad. But also hilarious. Go, Mac, go! 😂

[I recently beat the TTC in a different kind of race. The next bus arrivals were in 23, 24, and 27 minutes, so I walked to my destination in 25 minutes.]

Also a twin cattail (it’s joined at the bottom and the top).
