The key word there is "tried," which means the oracular incident is "defeated a raccoon." You've got this.

Done! Happy birthday, Misty!

Ohhhh that sucks. 🫂🫂🫂 For you and for M.

These Machines Fight Traffic.

Walked by this beauty last night - pretty awesome to see these messages out in the world.

Not for the first time noting some of the most enthusiastic proponents of online community meetings I've encountered are city staff who were astonished at how much more diverse participation became when it didn't mean needing to find a babysitter. Naturally, councillors want to kill it with fire.

Why Are “Gender Critical” Activists So Fond of Gametes? plus my new video “Trans People and Biological Sex: What the Science Says”

preparing to give another Trans People & "Biological Sex" talk, so I though I'd re-up this – it's an in depth primer on why anti-trans groups have become obsessed with gametes & why the actual science does not support their claims (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...

At the end I embarrassed him by laughing my ass off at a cybertruck but as he was hissing "Mom. MOM. Stop laughing, oh my god," he started to giggle. Best Sunday in ages.

The teen consented (with EXTREME reluctance) to come on a walk with me and then it started a terrible half-assed snow/rain but we walked and complained and bought scones and chatted for roughly 4km and it was awesome. There were dogs in windows & so many birds.

Thanks for sharing, Dr. Green!

I really enjoy the Ologies podcast! I'd say it's fine for your 13 year old but if you want a non-sweary version they release the episodes as Smologies which are shorter and classroom friendly.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

now imagine what would happen if we could similarly capture the attention of the press/public with any of the other undemocratic, corrupt excesses doug ford is foisting upon us at the same time

I filled in the survey and so can you! tomorrow is the deadline, so get on that. headlight glare is bad for other drivers of course, but also for pedestrians and cyclists and other non-car travellers. tell them to regulate that shit!

Frilly!

I'm so glad I have the wisdom of my friend C who suggested 48-72 hours of cooldown before I respond to someone else's difficult behavior. She's right! And also preventing me from sending a text that reads "I wish things were easier for you AND I think you're an asshole! TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE."

That is purely incredible! Hoping M. cooperates so that you can rest!

Friend groups in the movies: Unshakably united by shared traumas, secret handshakes, and reminiscence of better days.

Friend groups in real life: Unshakably united by cryptic references to that one time one of you managed to mispronounce the word "shrimp".

If only you could harness the twitching to automate household tasks or something. It's rude that your muscles are busy doing stuff without your consent.

Yes, the old app a bunch of us used to all exercise together to and do our mini events is back in her hands!

Small thing, though. The banks apparently were empty 👀

So there's a couple of things to do to help out (mini thread)

Dying to know what you all said to him! (And also to express my thanks to all three of you for being ambassadors of our wee pirate horde!)

I'm here grinning so hard my face hurts, which doesn't exactly narrow it down, I know.

YOU WERE SO BRAVE

How conservation authority changes could affect Ontario's drinking water | The Narwhal Ontario drinking water committees, formed following the Walkerton tragedy, face an uncertain future as conservation authorities amalgamate

Ontario's drinking water is protected by little-known groups, closely tied to conservation authorities. As the Ford government consolidates the watershed agencies, a leaked document and 12 sources show their role is now unclear. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-sour...
