I sort of got that impression here and there, but yeah, would be great to catch up one of these days when we both have the time and spoons!

Realest post I have read today
...what?!
My final remark on the ice storm forecast for Ottawa on Wednesday :
Don't confuse rolling a natural 20 (which we did) for the odds being in our favour (which they weren't).
Your regular reminder that you can't be interrogating people to see if they're Allowed™ to enjoy something, btw. Trauma isn't the only acceptable reason to enjoy dark fiction, for example, and expecting folks to reveal their trauma to you to justify that enjoyment is absolutely batshit on your part.
Good news is, the situation is not NEARLY as bad as 1998 by all appearance.
Bad news is...ice storm aftermath poster child. AGAIN.
How does the same unremarkable town make the headlines as the case in point for how bad an ice storm aftermath is in two separate ice storms?
And more importantly, WHY IS IT MY HOMETOWN?!
Not because of a half-assed comparison with property rules that are considerably less limiting on other people's rights and therefore far less in need of their own limits.
IP shouldn't end at author's death because that could theoretically result in an author of his family never seeing the fruit of the author's labour (if they die before release!), or so little (and also, we shouldn't give anyone a financial incentive to wish authors ill. Like, seriously.)
I'm against IP ending at author's death, but "copyright shouldn't end at death because property doesn't" is a terrible argument - one concept is considerably more limiting (or powerful, if you're the holder) than the other, and limiting of people's expression at that, than the other.
Long standing opinion of mine
There’s definitely other nasty respiratory viruses around - had one last September that kept testing negative that was a mean one. And another repeat negative in October 22 that left me literally speechless.
But best to keep an eye out anyway. Hope you get well soon any which way!
And likewise! I didn't even know you were here until @magnedeth.bsky.social reposted one of your posts! 💜💜💜
Teaching people hyperbole before teaching them anger management is probably a pretty solid contributing factor to the unhealthy way people communicate online.
The prosecution rest its case.
CanCon covers althistory (I should know, y'all keep putting me on those panels). One or more cup going to Canada after 1993 is definitely althistory :p
You're awesome and I miss you guys :)
I know ostracism. I was ostracized. No one deserves that, and those who suggest its use as punishment are little better than advocates of punitive torture.
Cutting off someone may well be necessary for self-protection, but that's a whole other story than fantasizing about ostracism as punishment.
6.8/10 even more water.
I resent the pivot to video so much. I do not want to become an "on air personality." I do not want to boil everything down into little pithy viral slogans. I don't want to worry about my f'ing hair. I hate it all. Hate it.
"Loser keeps Bieber" style good rivalry fun like in the previous NHL olympics requires trust and a measure of respect that is gone now. I don't know what it will take to rebuild it.
Without that trust, rivalry fast become hate.
There is no such thing as a fun rivalry with a bully. Never has been, never will be.
Beating the bully just means he doubles down on the bullying to make you pay, and losing to him just gives him ammunition for more bullying.
Either way, you lose.
Connor McDavid is about to be the most hated man in Canada.
sorry (not sorry) if this is a hot take, but I've seen conversation today about creators who are forced out of online spaces due to overzealous fan pressure, and I guess some people are suggesting that creators need to "not care" but you know what I think
fans need to chill the fuck out

No single step forward defeated fascists of the past. It was an accumulation of steps, big and small, that ultimately led to the downfall. Years of steps, in fact.
Negating those steps because you're sad mad whatever is counterproductive to the end goal.
Marathon, not a sprint.
I understand everyone's drowning in misery, but every push back against his regime is progress even if it doesn't feel like it. Countering every bit of good news with a bunch of WHY IT DOESN'T MATTER REALLY demoralizes people. Demoralized people? Stop fighting. Consider this a moment.
Trying to treat social media as this sacred public square where everyone's thoughts must be shown to everyone was such nonsense. Social media is here to entertain and inform me. If you're doing neither, onto the block list you go without a second thought.
BEGONE FOUL DWIMMERLAIK, LORD OF CARRION!

That's indeed a beautiful way of referring to the arrestee formerly known as prince.
