If the threat to the end of month-to-month leases on Ontario terrifies you as much as it does me, but you're also feeling helpless as to where to begin, here's a place to start. www.joshmatlow.ca/protect_tena...

Near disaster on TogetherCraft trying to find Elytra and very foolishly took my good gear with me, whereupon I got hammered by a billion shulkers. Doing time at the EnderEnder to get some levels back. Syrich, if you're out there, not all heroes wear capes. Some wear elytra and get your stuff back.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"

Hear me out -- CBC invites Kimmel to host a new show out of Dildo. They're obligated to have a rotating Canadian co-host each week to develop CanCon segments to meet broadcast requirements. Fielding requests from his "constituents." I would watch the hell out of that show. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

One of the things they taught us in my "let's try not to move from prediabetes to actual diabetes" class was the best diet is one you can stick to because you enjoy it. So I've been having chia seed pudding for breakfast in an attempt to get my HDL up (tl:dr - omega 3 is hard when you detest fish).

I wish there was a way to hammer in this message that the vaccine is basically just an education module for your immune system. It’s a fkn training sim!
VACCINE ➡️ TRAINING SIM
When a vaccine does its job, what ultimately protects you?
It’s STILL your fucking immune system doing the hard yards!

“I trust my immune system. I don’t need a vaccine.”
Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it.

Hard to find reasons to laugh in *gestures* all this. But when The Girl With The Dogs starts a video with "Today I am grooming Snuffleupagus. He is apparently a dog," in that PERFECT deadpan, I start laughing so hard I can't breathe. Thank you, Girl With the Dogs. I needed you today.
