Pam Or Something I Guess

🌱

Anyway yeah this is at least all part of a greater structure of what people are worthy of being called "people" and maybe we can spare a moment to think about that in the middle of all the rest of the world's mess, idk

Oh, did this show conflate fatness with evil? Did this game only provide one skinny body type? I am not surprised, and I do not ever expect better, and I am so numb to it at this point that I can't get mad. I rage at the "bigger" things (lol) or I swallow it down and try to forget.

It's a fight that hurts too much to lose, so I often don't fight it. I don't post pictures of myself online. I am anxious about meeting internet friends because I'm terrified they'll be disgusted with me, because that HAS actually happened! 🥲 I'm a coward, at least on my own behalf.

If I don't fight back against fatphobia so hard, don't prioritize it, just let it slide in otherwise welcoming spaces, it's because I know it is not a fight I can win. My fatness will always make me lesser to some people, no matter how progrssive they consider themselves to be.

A good read.
Fatphobia has never really ever stopped, but I can't help but feel like our cultural moment of fascism galore is why this (and ableism and racism and and and-) has spiked so sharply. Only the right kinds of people, right kinds of BODIES should exist.

We are stronger together.

That is how we stand up against the hate.

We get into our community to help & to engage because we are stronger together.

Pick a thing that you want & get involved.

Building a community is easy when you see folks as humans looking to feel that they belong alongside you.

Jason Schreier · 8m @jasonschreier.bsky.social Finding all your old Twitter follows here is very fun, like it's Final Fantasy 6 and you have to go around getting your friends back together because the old world got destroyed by a sociopath with bad jokes (This was summer 2023 I think)

remove interprovincial trade barriers, and strengthen our local economies. We have the infrastructure and the innovation to succeed. This won’t be easy. But by supporting one another, embracing Canadian-made products, and focusing on our collective strength, we can weather this storm and come out even stronger on the other side. Let’s focus on our nation, our provinces, and our communities. Together, we can turn this challenge into an opportunity for growth and success.

"We are uniquely positioned to not just endure but grow in this challenging environment."

'We're breaking up with the U.S. and it's time to move on,' says Saint John mayor New data from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce suggests Saint John will be the Canadian city hardest hit by the U.S. tariffs. Mayor Donna Reardon says mayors and premiers are now putting their differe...

Is this gonna work? But yes, huh, well.

It is certainly an interesting experience to see your city's mayor be interviewed by CBC about "so what are you gonna do about the tarrifs, eh?"

I'm used to no one anywhere giving a crap about the area, and now circumstance makes it that we're potentially The Most Fucked, whee... 🙃

Lost my cat of 17 years back in January. Over the weekend the cat distribution system saw fit to bring me a new kitty who's owner was no longer able to care for him. Please enjoy this shot of Whisky

Hooray for being Canadian, cuz it means egg for breakfast remains an economical and delicious option!

For now anyway 🤞

Americans choose most expensive way possible to discover what goods made in Canada

Text from a Government of Canada website: Shopping for Canadian food Food labels that include "Product of Canada" or "Made in Canada" tell you what foods have been grown or raised by Canadian farmers and what foods were prepared in Canada. Product of Canada A "Product of Canada" label means that all, or nearly all, of the food, processing and labour used to make the food is Canadian. These foods were: - grown or raised by Canadian farmers - prepared and packaged in Canada A food can still be labelled "Product of Canada" if it contains small amounts of imported food, such as spices, food additives, vitamins, and flavorings. Made in Canada A "Made in Canada" claim can be used on a food product when the last substantial transformation of the product occurred in Canada. A substantial transformation occurs when a food product undergoes processing that changes it to the point that it becomes a new, different food product. For example, the processing of cheese, dough, sauce and other ingredients to create a pizza would be considered a substantial transformation. Whenever the "Made in Canada" claim is used, it must also include a qualifying statement to indicate whether the food product is made in Canada from imported ingredients or a combination of imported and domestic ingredients.

Something for #Canadians to keep in mind while shopping:

Today's meal is homemade turkey soup with everything but the kitchen sink in it. Potatoes, carrots, celery, turnip, turkey, spinach and onions, plus a slice of bread. Nice hearty meal on this cold day. Thank you to Shirley for making such a beautiful meal.

Because Twitch streaming is insufficiently serious-seeming, and games are for nerds?

A picture of a sidewalk along a small city street, heavily covered in snow. Cars are parked on the opposite side of the street, absolutely caked in the stuff. Bare trees receed into the distance ahead. The sidewalk is somewhat shoveled up ahead, but part of the way is also a narrow footpath.

Oh hey, the sidewalks uptown are better than I'd thought they'd be this morning, after all that snow last night!

Not too cold, either, if you bundle up and keep moving briskly.

A 6 by 6 assortment of pastel candy hearts, with strange sayings on them. They read as follows, from left to right and top to bottom: "HEARTED TREAT" "FART BOOBY" "LUBRICANT" "SO BE IT" "MILD FEEL" "OKAY BRO" "CRAP" "BUNS BUNS BUNS" "LOVING HORN" "HA HA HA" "THE END" "BIOHAZARD" "FLYING WHALE" "CANDY HOLE" "ANTS CAN STAY" "DOOMED" "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT" "NO BLINKING" "T-REX" "(shuffle)" "MOUTHY HAMSTER" "BUTTOCK" "BODY PARTY!" "THE OO" "FLUFF" "ALL HAIL THE CHICKEN" "KITTEN BAND" "WOOF HOOFHOOF" "WICKED *EAT A TREE*" "BATH TOWELS" "YES YES YES YES YES" "SUPER BEAR" "BALLS" "HORSE LOOP" "DANCING ON A LOAF" "BEANS"

I needed a profile pic in a hurry so I sifted thru my old pics and found THIS fun pile of very non-standard candy hearts! Tag yourself! 😗

(I think someone used an early version of chat GPT or something) to generate sayings, then edited it manually. Much less sketch than current AI stuff, I feel.)

Very dark black and white photo of a shorthaired cat sitting on a table, backlit by a window in the near distance. It’s impossible to make out much, the darkness and high contrast just show you the form of the cat that is nearly in silhouette but you can make out just a few soft curves of its haunches and one foreleg. Very moody and evocative of film noir imagery.
