Disabled people know how to live in a world that wishes we would die. Technology has long been in the business of writing disabled and otherwise oppressed people out of the future.
My grandfather was born in the late 1800s… I hear you on being connected to things people have relegated to “super long ago.”
The sonic boom, likely from a #meteor, picked up on seismographs in Metro #Vancouver — around 910p PST 3 March 2026

Meta/IG is so skeezy. (I know, I know.) I got a slew of “create a new password” emails and they include in the email a link that says “If you didn’t request a new password, let us know.”
Folks, it’s a static webpage. It doesn’t do anything for your account or mark the request in any way. 🤦🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️
Feeling a lot older on the inside than I look on the inside. Maybe the late night crying makes the snail mucin serums work better.
*can definitely
But also, the pendulum definitely swing too far! Back to Karpman’s Drama Triangle we go
The guy I knew was out of school within 6 months of him sharing with me how bullied he was when we were at the same bench in grade 9 science. 💔 the comments on the pink shirt day posts really show how far we have to go.
Sam Reich also talks about defending models that support the viability of middle class art / creative careers and my Canadian media advocate said, “YUP.”
My Communications undergraduate degree is tickled folks are learning about this. There’s so much amazing stuff!
6 days of minimal impact / bedrest. I think this means I’ll be making Heated Rivalry the highlight of my week!
That was the JoAnn Fabrics death spiral story.
"Secretaries + clerks were the interface between the manager + the ability to get things done... Most secretarial work wasn’t removed; it was spread around so that everyone did it... You do your own typing, your own formatting, you send your own emails... The scale of this “shadow work” is immense."
Do you have thoughts about safety in BC's arts & entertainment sector (motion picture, performing arts, live events)? Weigh in via Actsafe’s 15 min survey til March 8, 2026: www.surveymonkey.com/r/72DZFGL

Anticipating “Vancouver’s in a different time zone from Seattle” to really mess with some cross border relationships even more than recent current events have.
Conflict of interest rules for all elected officials holding office re: participation in prediction markets when?
HI CANADIANS WHO HAVE YET TO FILE FOR TAXES
If, like me, you have asthma and had to buy air filters, an air purifier, air conditioner, or even had to get HVAC work done, all of that may be eligible as a medical expense.
The New School is hosting a "Visibilizing Care" symposium + exhibition Wednesday through Friday. If only the institution's leadership were sufficiently self-reflexive to heed this message
Free idea for the taking:
Desert Bus for Hope, but you are commuting in a car through Quebec and Broadway in 2026, and your goal is to cause zero injuries or fatalities.
News orgs have a responsibility to EXPLAIN both sides of an issue. They do not, in fact, have a responsibility to ADVOCATE for either side.
Believing that they do is honestly just stupid, and reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the point of journalism.
Evergreen lens:
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
(Great article, paywalled, with the composer who coined this here: slate.com/business/202... )
(Also shout out to the two other people who rode their bikes to a screening 2 blocks from the seawall and the folks who walked the 3 blocks in from transit for being real ones.)
Whatever sense of entitlement makes one *disappointed* / let down, especially when credits showed the underwater camera rigs used… I hope I never get there.
I hope I never forget that our world is not just an object for our entertainment.
They were expecting (hoping for?) an immersive “swimming with the whales” experience.
The documentary had literally just discussed the recovery of the global population of whales, down from a high of 300k to 15k worldwide currently. Plus threats of malnourishment.
In my second co-op job, I learned that satisfaction is the difference between one’s expectations and actual experience.
Last night I went to a large screen viewing of a 40 min documentary on blue whales yesterday and overheard someone expressing disappointment that it was a “classroom documentary”.

To the best of my knowledge, City relies mostly on brine for the roads. Salt is more likely to be found on sidewalks where folks have service contracts or individual lot owners are responsive, and they probably rely on a 1pm or 4pm forecast.
Weighing the pros and cons of becoming a “natto every day” person.
The promise of OpenAI and Grok being used in war is that no human can be held accountable for the war crimes it commits, all the way up to where it sits on the chain of command.
The total abdication of any kind of accountability, any kind of "am I following an unjust order" moral hesitation, etc.
