Rainbow! 😀

Beautiful rant on the topic of how policing gender hurts everyone (and is just stoopid🙄). https://m.youtube.com/shorts/LZhS_GTGWFI

Sigh.... I'm just so fekkin tired of being tired, ya know. And spending all my not-tired time getting caught up on all the stuff I didn't do because I was too damn tired. I want off of this hamster wheel ...and into a hamster ball so I can bust outta this joint! ....I might need an interdimensional hamster wheel to jump this whole timeline though. 🤔🐹

Update: I had a 2hr nap and it was fucking glorious.

They were having a tech fail at one of the shops today. Had to reboot the internet and all the cash registers. Big hullabaloo. Big delays. But customers were cool about, understanding and patient. Someone even offered to clear old posters off the bulletin board while they were waiting. I didn't realise how hungry I was for some kindness, everybody has been so stressed and crabby. My soul has been refreshed.

This seems like a good time for a #3wordCheckIn How ya'll doing, in three words? And yes, if you're reading this toot, I'm asking you.

☝️Two follow up thoughts from the conversations on this thread: Patience. For a lot of people, this is their first foray into non-compliance. They are going to start with small things within their comfort zone. This isn't a failure to do bigger things, this is training for it. Self compassion. If you are finding yourself angry at how little others are doing, you may be burned out. Rest is resistance too, as is pivoting to joy or humour in how you protest.

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 #smoke

Look, I know it's not the most pressing technical issue facing humanity, but like, could we standardized where you tap on the fekkin POS machine?

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

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

Fellow Canadians, have you ever seen anything that got better from being privatized? #CDNpoli

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"

Ok, well *your* body may be a wonderland. *My* body is a science experiment. #chronicIllness

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

Also, in light of the fekkin heatwave(s) I would like to resurrect the #sploot tag. Hit me with yer sploots, yo! (splooting is when animals or humans spread out flat on a surface, limbs splayed in an attempt to cool off) @joybooster@beige.party

And I am once again looking to hire someone to come in for 2hr/week to help with food prep and house cleaning. Pays $20/hr, DT #Guelph In particular, we're getting a weekly CSA produce delivery and need help to make sure we use it up. We're two burned out autistics, so aren't great at improvising or meal planning on the fly. Just need a chill grounded person to help keep the basics under control so we can spend our spoons on building resiliency (and fun, we need fun!) . 🔄✨ #getFediHired

@futurebird@sauropods.win Sam is an astronomer who had space junk fall on her farm. She has all the nerdiest infodumps on all these horrible space ideas, the dangers and the consequences (Kessler syndrome is a legit and substantial worry). She'll have lots of articles and interviews in her feed (plus fun stuff like goats!). @sundogplanets@mastodon.social *waves at Sam, we're talking about ya!* 🌠 @sundogplanets@mastodon.social

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the floods, the massive windstorms, the droughts... Mostly because I haven't experienced those yet *this* year. But hey, it's not even August yet. *laughsobs*

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

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.

@cgrymala@higheredweb.social hehe. THE ANGLES IN HERE ARE ALL WRONG. 🙃

@Pinchy63@ottawa.place 🙄 Hopefully eventually the Environment Minister will pass their concerns about their suddenly stressful job to the rest of the House. (also, fuck yeah! keep on 'em! 💪🇨🇦)

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

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

@catmisgivings@stranger.social thanks! Yeah the mental stall is at least as limited as any physical energy.

@dabertime@mstdn.social 🤦‍♀️🤬I am equal measures infuriated and disgusted. This is some bare minimum community caring. WE CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER.

@semiotic_pirate@mastodon.art "joy dopamine supplying job" sounds like a category we should all get access to.

@Nerde@beige.party could definitely be some fluid thinking in there. ;)

@nini@oldbytes.space wiseness. Staying out of the way is helpful too.

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

@mackreed@mastodon.social @joybooster@beige.party hehe. Educational!

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 #climateCrisishttps://disabled.social/@vlrny/116919112563725692 Attn: @Paulatics@mstdn.ca @avilewis@mstdn.ca

@david_megginson@mstdn.ca I am amused by the idea of bunny farts that smell like pickles.

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