I was your friendly, neighbourhood rhetoric and game studies diva. Now I’m not sure what’s going on. I'm into critical pedagogy, rhetorical genre studies, open ed, and trusting my students.

Modded jeep with tires so big makes a short wheel-base with a quick turn a rolling over inevitability. This dude ruined his jeep. He also took up two parking spots.

Here you go. I’m not responding any further.
Comic by David Malki from 2014. Describes sealioning (which is going on here on BlueSky, unfortunately). A sealion recently pursues a male and female couple (in 19th century garb). The woman starts by stating she doesn’t like sea lions. The man says to be quiet, or a sealion will appear. Sure enough, one does and starts barking demands for evidence, explanation, and so on that proves the woman’s point. The sealion pursues the argument to the point of bothering the woman at home, in bed and so on. There’s a pretense of civility but the goal is to flood the conversation with superfluous requests (source Wikipedia). Sealioning is a type of trolling.

That shitty tech bro Canadian site quotes Wilfred Laurier who really didn’t like non-white immigrants and stole Indigenous lands. I don’t think Laurier meant “all men”

Just for my own amusement (and perhaps yours), I’m going to share the books I’m reading over the year. I want to read a book a month or more. First book I’m finally getting to: Lessons in Chemistry.
Book jacket for Bonnie Garmus’ Lessons in Chemistry. Features a stylized woman’s face looking over a pair of glasses (giving side eye). Cover is bright orange.

What’s your fav meme? Here’s mine (circa a really long time ago)
Well aged meme - cat sits with newspaper “I as supposed to pick up Carl.” The “Carl” in question is the monkey in a Sherpa jacket abandoned at IKEA.

This year I was assaulted twice by two different strangers having very bad days. I had a serious mental health crisis that I’m healing from. My work life sucked donkeys and I’m moving. On the other hand, I have two great dogs, I found a nice place to rent that accepts dogs, and I’m loved.
