A few years later there was a massive rainstorm that coincided with the spring thaw and a whole bunch of those houses just... slid down the hill.

When I was a pre-teen I used to live next to a ravine that ran through the city. Some developers bought up the land on the opposite side and built a bunch of monster homes. They cut down all the trees that overlooked the ravine so the houses would have a nice few.

Yes they do. I'm sorry to hear that you're going through that.

Did you read the Joyce Carol Oates statement? I now completely understand why you described her as batshit.

A friend of mine finally managed to get on our provincial disability support after many rounds of appeals. They literally used the fact that she was able to successfully navigate the application process as "proof" that she could work at a job. If that isn't dystopian, I don't know what is.

I got free tickets to see it in the theatre. Easily the worst film I've ever seen. When it gets to the scene where the alien planet blows up somebody in the audience yelled, "You know what that means! No sequel!" and the entire theatre burst into cheers.

Ontario absolutely had a Nazi / Klan problem in the 80s and I find it kind of bizarre how few people remember that.

Honestly I think that's the only solution. If people stay away they'll have to rethink their shitty policy.

People hiding allergens in other peoples' food just blows me away. I know it's common because of how much people with allergies talk about it, but What The ~Hell~.

I wrote a letter to her office saying much the same thing. I hope she listens to the people who actually voted for her, because only the CEOs want this. (And *they* either all work remotely or have private helicopters because downtown is impassable even now.)

I threw out my recycling yesterday and discovered the emptied box was in my recycling bin. I don't know why, but that was the part that enraged me. They stole food, it sucks, but maybe they're just hungry. But seeing the unpacked boxes thrown in my bin felt like a deliberate fuck you.

It absolutely is. My mother had a section of her roof collapse into her house. The insurance company falsified inspection records to claim it was caused by animal damage, which they didn't cover. A lawyer would have cost her more than just paying to have it repaired herself.

That seems short sighted? Not repairing the roof means many more bathroom claims.

Why is it so hard to find a brand of dishwasher soap that doesn't include artificial scents? What kind of wild man is out there sniffing their dishes?

Once again it is pride month, so here’s your fruity chronically ill friend reminding you that lgbtq+ justice is wholly inextricable from disability justice and covid remains lethal, so at the very least please wear an N95 indoors and in crowds to protect disabled queers ✌️

Say "trans" and say "gay" and say "queer" every chance you get. If you're ashamed to name us, fuck off. Kink belongs at Pride, the fucking cops do not. Bi people with partners of the opposite gender belong at Pride, the fucking cops do not. Asexual people belong at Pride, the fucking cops do not
