THISSSSSS.

okay, enough people have said this will be helpful. i'll try to do a thread soon with the emails i've been sending

*Insert clever marketing post here*

...what? I'm tired 😂

yes, this was it! fabulous, thank you!!

someone on here at some point in the recent past posted a thing about a wealth tax in one US state or city and how the wealthy didn't end up leaving like they'd threatened to. now i can't find it. can someone point me to it?

the downside to having 3 large dogs is that travel becomes $$$$$ whether we bring them with us or board them/get a petsitter. ideally, i'd want to bring them, but binky fucking *hates* being away from home

✨✨✨

i got sidetracked while drafting angry emails to my MP about *gestures at everything* but i'm about to get back at it. would anyone find it helpful if i posted a screenshot of the email (w/ alt text)? i know sometimes it helps get me over the inertia to see other people's scripts.

The Aurora award ceremony is this weekend, and I'm a first-time finalist. I know a wack of other writers on the finalist list, too. Won't you celebrate speculative writing/art with us? 17:00 EST Sunday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy2k...

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

This is how the dogs look at me as I comment on violin luthiery documentaries with a fake Italian accent.

canadian friends, this proposed budget is DOGSHIT. make sure you fill this out, doesn't take long. make very good use of the "other" field in each section. i used it to suggest they tax the ultrawealthy out of existence and then included my actual budget wishlist #ElbowsUp

A black standard poodle photobombing my picture of a black and tan shepherd mix lying on the kitchen floor. She is looking right into the camera, her head looming very large. Her expression is a mix of resentment and fury. She is wearing a pink bandana.

“Cindy. I appreciate that you are finding some measure of joy posting all these pictures of this Other Dog, but I am still here, Cindy, and I am still YOUR dog, and I am hurt I even have to remind you of that.”

Someone figured out how to get up on the sofa. 😐

It should not take CAD $270m per km for a light rail extension, even with the bridges needed. We are going to need to push the Region of Waterloo hard to get this program on track.

i love it!
