One life eclipses another; Smilodon takes down a whitetail deer. Inspired by petroglyphs, cave art, and ancient Scythian art. It's weird to think that the whitetail deer survived the ice age and made it to the present but many of its predators did not. #art #smilodon #paleontology #rockart #deer

i'm wearing my hair down today which I almost never do (firm holiday party, everyone gets out their fancy outfits!) I went to get a signature from one of the partners & she asks, in a genuinely curious tone, "have we met?"

I've worked w her for almost 3 years 😂 this is now my undercover look

I love having a friend like @lady-nightbloom.bsky.social who texts me asking where nip slips fall on a pinup category from a scale of 1-10 ("is it a 5?", "Tansey, idk" "Jill you draw WAY more pinups than me!" well, got me there)

last night I dreamt someone was making a live action version of Netflix She-Ra but they gave Shadow Weaver a sleeveless dress and no mask and I woke up composing an outraged email

why would my brain do this to me 😭

research & planning

I was pigeon-holed at the lab w a very specific set of skills & the only mobility was taking a supervisory role (which, given the specialty, is only vacated when the present supervisor dies)

I wanted a new career that was in demand, had transferrable skills & I wouldn't hate
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

I've had dark hair since the beginning of June to see if I like it. the verdict is 👎🏻

1) I can only see my grey hair when the shaved part starts growing in and I ❤️ my grey hair

2) dark hair doesn't feel dramatic enough. I have a (generally) dramatic taste in fashion and it just doesn't match

there's going to be dozens of crisp vivid photos of the aurora tonight but I want to share this from my pathetic camera-

I live in the dead centre of the city. the aurora is so bright that it's visible despite highrises-worth of light pollution. it's not moving a lot though, kind of just puddling

So this happened an hour ago. I don’t think I’ve seen red this deep in a long time. You could see it quite clearly with the naked eye. #aurora

"I'm adding this because I'm feeling wordy." -one of my lawyers editing a draft

in case you're ever wondering why a contract you're signing has paragraphs that are a wall of text with 40 commas, 17 semi-colons, eight pairs of parentheses, and only one full stop... this. This is why.

this govt doesn't give a shit about ppl & their inherent rights- that's been obvious given how they view trans ppl- but they also don't give a shit about the legislative process. or the law.

it's always health and education they attack, 2 of the most important public- PUBLIC, ACCESSIBLE- services

Quick instructive primer on the notwithstanding clause, for anyone wondering why its invocation proves the govt is squarely in the wrong

As Alberta invokes the notwithstanding clause, here's what you need to know | CBC News
Alberta has invoked the notwithstanding clause to end a teachers' strike. Here's what you need to know about the history of this mechanism to override Charter rights and freedoms, and how it works.

fuckin hell the UCP just used the Notwithstanding clause to force teachers back to work

literally bypassing the Charter of Rights & Freedoms to suppress a LEGAL strike

that is not what this clause was written for. this is an abuse of power. this is a suppression of workers rights and human rights

Remember that the Alberta government plans to use the Notwithstanding Clause AGAIN this week to erase the right of trans youth to seek life-saving, evidence-based medical care.

No rights are safe when the Clause is used for political expediency.

shipping culture nowadays is so weird bc why should i care whether they're canonically straight or have/had a partner? why do you need legal permission from the author to have fun??? 2010s were so peak we used to ship characters that have never even met shamelessly. now i need government permission

when you incorporate a new company in Alberta, you get a generic numbered co. or register a trade name. registering a trade name costs more so some ppl will choose an available number that's meaningful, eg. lucky 8s

and then there's the cannabis co.s picking up everything with 420 or 69 in it 😂
