One of the few places I can get my favourite type of tofu (the smooth/silken tofu that's been fried)

Unironically, I usually do Shanghai 360

🥺 such lovely words thank you

Will have to judge for myself 🤔 have only found passable jerk chicken here too 😫

Do they have jerk pork tho (I haven't found good jerk pork in Ottawa)

i think with all the improving ai image generators we should all just go back to film

waking up with the tension headache you went to sleep with is second only to waking up with the same upper back/shoulder pain you've had for several days that, at this point, you want about 50 needles jammed into it

all the AI slop out there makes me want the most aggressively analog stories out there. like I want a one-of-a-kind homemade zine someone tucked into a baggie in the hollow of a tree, and I want that zine to include a shitty hand drawn map to a treasure it may or may not take 30 years to find

apply! i am Longing to be back at gladstone's library and i couldn't have gone if it weren't for this bursary

that's... wild because i was in elementary school (in ontario) from 2000-2010 and i definitely learned to read via phonics

2014-2015! I was technically also on the team in 2015-2016 but uni kicked my ass so it was harder for me to actually do anything

dang now i wonder if you beat my ass back when i did epee at my uni (was only at like one competition at queen's before i had to stop fencing let alone be on the team)

contemp occult horror

good news! i've started outlining a new story. it took me several days of listening to these songs and crafting a playlist to get somewhere

bad news! my therapist may Have Questions because what does this say about what my brain has needed to process lately

#Jamaica needs our support more than ever right now and, never ones to shy away from self-reliance, they’ve set up an officially sanctioned website for recovery donations. The footage of Hurricane Melissa’s destruction in St. Elizabeth coming in from my family is HARROWING.

supportjamaica.gov.jm

This one tho 😭

Melissa is so scary though like Jamaica NEVER gets hit this bad and here we are 🫠

Isn't it great 😭 I pass it all the time and I always stop to look

Remember those times i said we were headed for an epistemic crisis because bad people were gonna use deepfakes to make propaganda & conspiracy theories & destabilize consensus reality-making & how the central paradigm of "generative AI" enables, encourages, & was indeed built on this premise?

Yeah.

i love you horny horror i love you exploring sexuality and desire through unsettling means i love you sexual repression manifesting as self destruction i love you intimacy transforming into something grostesque yet beautiful i love you finding comfort and love in the monstrous i love y

I've got gooods @canconsffh.bsky.social
Come find me this weekend!

Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military.

If this scares the shit out of you, please let them know:

Yonge St, probably

aha! i knew about this website but i don't think i used it last time i was querying. will definitely use it this time, thank you!

anyway i'm trying a new strategy that will hopefully make people stop expecting Diaspora Shit from me and instead better appreciate my terrible, terrible murder children for what they are

will absolutely report back if i am more successful this round because i will Have Words

y'know. i can't remember how i looked for agents before

i never got querytracker or anything was it literally just through twitter because if so uh-oh

I was two years of using the Weeks format very thoroughly and then fell off completely this year. Idk if I'll be as bad about it next year so I got a Kinbor instead. The plus side is it forces me to practice a bit of Chinese reading :')

I love theseee. I've followed her Tumblr for years now

AI Critical — Letter to MPs - environment | Ellipsus Ellipsus makes it easy for anyone to write together.
