  Ack! This fekkin brain. I am getting better at *performing* language, but nobody sees the herculean effort behind the scenes to push out the words. Well, I say "herculean" but really it's more like Pee Wee Herman trying to flip tractor tires all up in here. #brainFog #longCovid

  You guys! It's 9pm and already getting dark. WINTER IS COMING!!! 😃

• Post #4122756

  As Canadians, I think the most tragic thing, the thing that hits us right in the culture, is summer used to be a kind of collective celebration of surviving the winter. Sunny relief after adversity. And now, between runaway allergies, lethal heatwaves, and the forest fires, summers are turning into a seasonal gauntlet much worse (and less easily remedied by a toque and hot cocoa). I am equally furious and exhausted. #thisIsNotFine #climateCrisis #CDNpoli

  Ok, enough ranting. To counterbalance, here's a raccoon I found crouching in the crook of a tree, like a fekkin ninja! (vid below- 8s of adorable! can't post in same toot as pics apparently) #timelineCleanse

  Is there someone with a functioning brain that would set this image up as a file for a postcard I can send to my local printers? Also, happy to share it for anyone else wants to use it. Need House of Commons mailing address on the back, and maybe some other deets my brain can't think of right now. But we can discuss and plunk away. Hoping to get a template others can use or mod as well. #thisIsNotFine Image via: https://flipping.rocks/@nev/116931366469512744

  Not to brag, TOTAL brag, but I did a 3hr specialist mtg AND ate a vegetable today. Feeling very victorious. 💪🥄

  Another #thisIsNotFine idea: Calling in sick. We can't live like this, so we won't work like this. https://disabled.social/@vlrny/116930372555070130

  For anybody who wants to discuss tangible actions around telling our gov't they are not doing a good job on climate change (and everything else, really) we're starting a #thisIsNotFine movement. So far we're developing stickers and postcards. Drop in to share your ideas, and help with anything other folks are working on. A landslide is made of many small pebbles moving at once. 💪🇨🇦 (boosts appreciated, I'm on a small server here) #CNDpoli #CANpoli #climateCrisis #wildfires #s...

  Alright! I have pushed forward my small acts of civil disobedience for today. Back to napping! (am doing ok, just pretty gorked from all the antihistamines). #smallActsOfCivilDisobedience #thisIsNotFine #climateCrisis

  As per this thread, we're starting a #thisIsNotFine tag to discuss strategies and organise. Postcard campaigns, sit-ins, general strikes... Somebody is making stickers! 😀 Whatever ideas you've got and you'd like to help make happen. Because, wow, this is definitely not fine. And we need our governments to ACT NOW (not make things worse). #CDNpoli #CANpoli #ONpoli #wildfires #smoke #heatwave #climateCrisis https://disabled.social/@vlrny/116919112563725692 Attn: @Paulatics@...

  Fellow Canadians, I'd like to propose a unifying image for these times. A red maple leaf. On fire. With the text: "THIS IS NOT FINE"

  It occurs to me, as I give myself an IM shot for pain, that I learned how to self administer these shots from watching trans HRT education videos online. Turns out trans visibility benefits everyone.

  The elevator in my building has that padding hanging up to cover all the walls. Is that so you can take a quiet moment by yourself to scream without disturbing the other residents?

  I'm having a rough time and need some silliness and joy. Anybody interested in a shared movie watch in an hour or so? My netflix currently has Back to the Future. ...or whatever else we can find on Internet archive. Just need some giggles and diversion. Boop me of yer interested, we can plan from there. cc @LonelinessCorps #lonelinessCorps #watchParty

  One of the best features of fedi, that I think we forget to even mention when trying to engage new people, is access to curated knowledge. I just don't even do internet searches on stuff outside my wheelhouse any more. It's so hard to discern useful/accurate content. I LOVE that I can just ask real humans on fedi and they will answer from their depth of knowledge and share the helpful links. #fediLove

  Hey spoonie hivemind! Are there side effects/onboarding issues I should watch out for starting low dose naltrexone? Any other advice/observations/tips also welcome. I assumed I could just start it in the background and mostly ignore, wait for slow improvements. But wonder if part of my symptom buffet has shifted (now getting mild headaches, etc), it's so hard to tell with *waves at everything* #lowDoseNaltrexone #fibromyalgia #MEcfs #longCovid #spoonies

  If you need a time out from yucky reality (with lots of posts about less yucky reality, some quite lovely hopeful bits, really) this is your random reminder I have a @joybooster@beige.party acct where I lurk and wordlessly boost shit that make me happy. Fair warning, shit that makes me happy may include: Bad puns Bee butts Benevolent shit disturbing Feel free to reply with shit that makes you happy, if it's got alt text I'll boost it. #doomscrolling #timelineCleanse

  Ok #startAConversation time! What's your favourite/strangest/funniest use of #ductTape ? Jumping off from this thread: https://disabled.social/@vlrny/116823147961217395 cc @LonelinessCorps #lonelinessCorps

  My phone case got some new duct tape, as a treat. 😀

  Ok, I toss this out every 6mos or so as fedi grows... I'm gathering local connections of fedi folk in #Guelph and area. Get some low key meatspace hang outs going on. Walks, masked movie nights or board games, knitting in a coffee shop, hanging out at the library... I'm hoping to do more structured events at some point but am pretty low energy these days so keeping it simple. We have a signal group to connect and organise. Hit me up if you'd like an invite. 🔄✨ #fediLocal #co...

  Ok, now that I've had a lil wee rant about it all, as per: https://disabled.social/@vlrny/116591893236335923 Let's talk pragmatics. #spoonie and other marginalized friends, drop suggestions below of what you wish your neighbourhood or community would do for you. The rest of ya'll take some notes and brain storm what you can do in YOUR hood. #community #disabilityJustice #teamApocalypse #neighbouring

  I woke up in the middle of the night and said aloud to myself: Just because you can't control the ocean doesn't mean you don't steer the boat. ...so if anybody else needed to hear that today, the void says hi.

  We've had a couple of fun Sunday afternoon (4pm EST) cult classic movie watch parties. I seems to be a good time - evenings for Europe, early aft for Pacific coast. I'd like to get it going as a quasi-regular event, but would need someone to take the lead on facilitating, I don't have it in me right now. Basically pick a movie, and toot it out. I can boost it lots and will join in when I can. Doesn't need to be every week. Thoughts? #SundayCultClassics @Lo...

  I fekkin LOVE this clip. Posting with alt text so I can share it. Tik tok clip of someone speaking at a graduation ceremony. "The rise of artificial intelligence is the next industrial revolution." Students boo. Speaker gets flustered, turns away, says: "what happened? I struck a cord. May I finish?" Flustered, speaker takes a moment to compose themselves. Returns to speech: "Only a few years ago AI was not a factor in our lives." Stud...

  Helpful to know: If you are affected by wildfires or other disasters in Canada there's a stripped down CBC site you can use to still get info even if your data/internet is limited. https://www.cbc.ca/lite/news?sort=latest #canada #wildfires #CBC #yellowknife
