Hi @sesquiotic.bsky.social ! Another Albertan (and a fan of yours, btw). I managed to get this from my balcony last night:
Reason number x to avoid phone calls 😆
Doesn’t Apple’s accessibility feature have this already? I thought there was something about gestures, but I could be wrong…
Plain legal communication can reduce the risk of liability claims against lawyers.

Sorry, lovely people, but I'm not both-siding genAI. It's killing our planet, it's destroying people's lives and brains, it's enriching the already too rich. Yes, having conversations about it and educating people is important, but to me, that doesn't include acceptance or working with users.
Super delighted to be part of a panel like this! Or super nervous. Or both!

Or just a bunch of humans having conversations with other humans. Editing is a conversation, after all.
If you’re wondering what an editorial collective is, here’s an explanation.

Super excited! I can’t believe I’m now part of a group I was always a fan of.

US diplomats may do well to read some Chinese history to understand Beijing’s tactics in any trade talks.
What just happened in the Oval Office is the death knell of the pax americana. Europe, Canada, Australia, and Japan need to step up to save what's salvageable of the liberal order. Canada shares a 9,000 km border with the fastest-radicalizing bully in town. We either smarten up fast or we disappear.
I always assume that anyone who buys my children loud things secretly hates me.
The Canadian Ghost Fentanyl mounties can fill their time by pointing the way to US refugees seeking a calmer life under democracy north of the border.
“Deport them all”, “White lives matter”: messages on signs in St. Albert this weekend held by losers making N*zi salutes.
Don’t minimize this, Alberta.
Call this shit out.
Every time you see it.
That means our political leaders too. I’m looking at you, Danielle Smith.
It’s just bizarre how many people deny this statement.
A US tariff is literally a tax on people in America who buy things made outside America.
Words have meanings, and this is what a tariff is. Fume about that if you must.
A few important bits about editing for voice here. Esp when working with subject experts.

It’s official. On Monday, when a whole lot was going on, the UCP quietly removed the ban on coal mining in the Eastern Slopes of the Rockies.
The same ban put in place because you, Albertans, spoke out.
We need you again.
Coal is a threat to us all.
A threat to our water.
And water is life.
I’d like to start my Bluesky journey by sharing two very apt pieces about Canada.
