Here's a one-shot class on birds in Anishinaabemowin. I took one before and loved it. Shows how bird names tell you whole stories about nature. https://www.naturalcuriosity.ca/birdsofanishinaabeaki #birds #language #linguistics #Indigedon #Indigenous #Anishinaabemowin #Anishinaabe #Ojibwe

I woke up with a mild headache. Then I botched my tea-drinking roll and had a massive coughing fit that cranked my headache to eleven.
It's the mundane that will kill me, I swear.

@miyotehew I remember my husband trying to explain to a friend how to access the internet in the 90s. I interrupted him to ask her if she had a modem yet.
"No," she said. "What's that?"
My husband's face went through quite an array of expressions.

This is how I grew up. And when I was teaching dance from home, I used a barter system for those who had no money.

I've been gradually replacing my Jehovah's Witness library. I use the books for research, as I'm writing religious horror based on JW beliefs. I lent my books to a prof over twenty years ago and he never returned them.
Here are some of my favourite illustrations from "Revelation Its Grand Climax at Hand!"

I keep seeing joyous trans folks showing life before and after HRT and I'm envious. Y'all look so happy! My befores and afters with HRT show me going from young and fit to old and sickly. At least the hormones got rid of some of the worst effects of menopause.

I qualify for a Covid booster because I am Indigenous, asthmatic, & about to turn 55. However, my housemates don't qualify, which is shit for them & for me.
Someone getting cancer treatment qualifies, but not their caretakers. This is fucked.
I swear the powers that be want us dead.
Mask up.
FWIW, if you qualify, boosters are available in Kitchener at the Frederick Mall Pharmacy.

No sooner had I started playing Eldritch Horror when my roommate showed up and started cooking. My ADHD brain cannot deal with the background noise while I'm trying to concentrate. It's so frustrating. Why must I get overstimulated so easily? I had to go back to my room.

I keep thinking of the white guy who accused me of being a bigot when I expressed my misgivings about Carney before the election. He accused me of all sorts of horrible things before I blocked him. I wonder if he ever thinks about the things he said to me and regrets it. I wonder if he thinks what Carney is doing is justified and ethical.

IMO, it's just as vile as when Trump mocked the disabled reporter.

RE: https://cosocial.ca/@dyckron/116331614625071143
I saw the video footage. It is egregious. He mocked her for crying out for justice. Indigenous folks have been dying because of industrial poisoning. He says he'll last longer than her. Well, he might live longer because he doesn't live in a community that's been poisoned for years with no cleanup. What a piece of shit he is.

@idzie snakes often live inside rock piles. You're more likely to see them sunning themselves on rocks when it's warm out.

@RickiTarr cannabis for me. I basically microdose on it. A tiny puff now and then. A single joint lasts me more than a week unless the pain is extra bad.

If you're a Canadian author and you're not yet a member of the Writers' Union of Canada, check this out. They have all sorts of services, lectures, and professional discounts.
I’m a member of The Writers’ Union of Canada, and I’m writing to encourage you to join so that you too can benefit from the Union’s programs, services, and advocacy.
The Union is running a special refer-a-writer promotion until March 31. All first-time members receive 50% off their first year of dues, but when you use my promo code Shantell37424 in the application form, upon acceptance you will receive an extra free month of membership. When you use this code, I also get a free month of membership, so it’s a win-win!
TWUC advocates on behalf of writers’ collective interests, and delivers value to members through advocacy, community, and information. The Union believes in a thriving, diverse Canadian culture that values and supports writers.
I encourage you to apply for TWUC membership and help strengthen our collective: www.writersunion.ca/become-a-member. The promotion ends on March 31, so be sure to submit your application by that date.
You can find a list of membership benefits at www.writersunion.ca/become-a-member. And if you have questions about applying, TWUC staff are available at info@writersunion.ca.

I really gotta wonder about some publications. If it has major spelling mistakes on the front page in large print, I have questions about the editing and proofreading process.

@sunarch I hand coded all my HTML in notepad.exe in the mid-90s. I haven't made a webpage in decades, but I'll betcha I could still do a decent job of nested tables and such.
