My previous employer made me work with someone who demanded sexual favours from grad students so i do think they'd make me work with someone who stole from me.

The only flaw in this film is that this scene is only in the trailer.

I'm reading about responses to the FLQ crisis and wow is the past a foreign county. 5000 people at York supporting the federal government and the war measures act in 1970?

Why are they like this?
Is it to hurt me personally?

People give you strange looks when you crouch on the ground at the edge of frozen puddles to take photos, especially in car parks. But it’s worth it. Purple sky at Bergkrystallen, Oslo 2026-03-04

Ok, this isn't the cutest video I took today, but it's still very heartwarming, and should make up for the fact that grades are a thing. πŸͺΆ 🐣

Although this has subtitles I don't think the subtitles do justice to how Brett sounds talking about these cute little round birbs!

YAY! I missed it and now I have this beautiful thing to watch! Thank you! I will give my next student an A.

Brett, I am in the middle of grading. I would appreciate a cute baby goose moment, I am just saying. Imagine how you'd make just one person happier with a cute baby goose moment.

We're hoping tomorrow the blood people call with the new shipment of blood and then i get fresh blood and the new blood is from someone who imparts their ability to do things onto me through blooooooooood. (This is an iron transfusion.)

I can no longer tell if I'm so tired and that's why everything feels like it's impossible to do or if I'm actually just lazy and don't want to do things. The results are the same, I guess. But I've only been awake for six hours today and I wish I was asleep.

Clearly the medical stuff is happening because I'm getting lots of phone calls about other stuff but I'm so desperate for the "we're calling about your blood, come in and get the blood that will fix everything." Please call soon, nice blood people. (Waiting on iron infusion.)

It's just under $20 a box. I'm so impressed with Gender here.

WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THAT I'VE BEEN FREED FROM THE TORMENTS?!?!?!?

Mom, come pick me up, the best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity.

I think it's weird that there are a handful of Big Twitter Accountsβ„’ that seem to lurk on Bluesky in search of Contentβ„’ they can share in the form of screenshots, tbh. Kind of pathetic, honestly.

I think about child care workers! That job is so important to the economy, it's a load-bearing job!

Last week I saw someone (not on here - it was James Lindsay) compare knitting drama to Mao and human rights abuses and it's just so painful. That's quite the reach

Maybe you should interview some actual working class people.

Sometimes I want to respond to this with the screamingly obvious but no one needs me to point out who makes up the bulk of the working class. Either they know or they don't want to.
