My left hand in a thumbs down sign, wearing a pink fitbit. My hand is pointing at a large freezer, with black garbage bags wrapped around chunks of icebergs.

My hand, fingers curled into my palm. My middle and pinky fingernails are painted turquoise. My ring finger nail is partly purple, and there are scabs on my finger where the iceberg landed.

Aww Iceberg season is starting in Nfld! That means it's nearly the anniversary of a 60lb iceberg chunk crushing my finger at work! An xray said it wasn't broken, but it took them a week to figure out my knee was broken in Sept sooo. 🧊

Hurray! (?) Union too!

Ok so I work for a municipal gov now. So i'm a public servant, but also in an office and lots of meetings? Is that corporate? Or no because not a company?

So like...what is a corporate job? What does that mean?!?

Ugh touche 🥲

George Frederick Charles Talbot was a third class steward aboard The Titanic. The job paid 3£ 15s per month. He was 20 years old. He is buried in Fairview Lawn Cemetery

This is true, but I don't think they care unfortunately 🥲

Yaaah and I'm the only non nearing retirement age persin there 😬

👀👀

Yeah there were lots of 'well if we say we'll use it ethically..' etc 🫠

I dooo! I just don't want to see them run it into the ground 😭

In that they are fighting me that we need one as an institute of science & knowledge??

As a very anti-AI, pro-paying artists & authors person, the question is...do I leave a volunteer board position if the other members are trying to edit out the anti-AI statement I wrote in a policy doc?

It's way more interesting that the two daughters of the guy that built this house lived there together & worked as housekeepers elsewhere, than if they were married or not!

Casually writing historical single women's names as 'Ms' instead of 'Mrs' or 'Miss' because her identity is not tied to being married ✨️

Taxidermy Puffin standing on rock with egg between its feet. Black and white bird famous for its colourful beak.

Happy #WorldPuffinDay! Puffins are known locally as "tammie norries” and arrive at their breeding colonies in Orkney from late April to August. May and June are the best puffin-spotting months.

Peer-reviewing a paper & Adobe says 'this looks like a long document. Use AI to summarize?'. How...dare you? And I can only assume some people reviewing academic work are clicking that button! #academia

I’m really grateful to Greg. Page 85 is where I reveal the origin story of this book. It’s a Bluesky book.

Oh nooo why is that so funny though

I just finished writing one!

A screenshot of a newspaper with a note written in pen reading 'Article from Nova Scotia M... in Mail-Stand March 1984'

Hi #NovaScotia friends! I'm trying to figure out what this newspaper was named, but I only have the one article & this handwritten note with the title...the Nova Scotia M..?
Does anyone know this paper?
