Who here knows what O.o means?

Best wishes to you wherever you are headed. I imagine soon the sane countries will offer queer people asylum.

Why did you do it? Let’s start there. Please unpack.

We had this older woman in our office who used to decide to subtly target everything anyone did wrong who was younger than her, she’d pick a person and just begin to pick away at them in an innocent way. Nobody could identify what she did all day long, and she was obviously very insecure because she was the oldest person in the department. She would decide to pick at you for months, until you finally fought back somehow, and then she’d pick a new target, ever so subtly. I was not good at handling myself in those situations back then so I just was miserable for months until I finally burst into tears at her for whatever she did that day, and that was a crude but effective method. She turned her guns on someone else who tried to handle it for a while, but then eventually went to HR and she got nailed to the wall and decided to retire.

Also had a manager I’m pretty sure was borderline sociopathic. I’ve never meant someone so dishonest, manipulative, and greedy in my life. She got told to quit or be fired after some major upper management changes, so she quit, got a new job, and apparently got walked out of it a bit later on, and now she actually works at my current job site with basically the McDonald’s shift supervisor of jobs in this organization. I had to deal with her once over the phone a couple of years ago and she still sounds like a dog with its tongue hanging greedily out of its mouth.

A doctor I worked with said I’m a force of nature.

Vegan. Almost four years now and it’s the best thing I ever did for myself.

I don’t care what anyone’s faith is and wish everyone well, but I can’t lie, I think Ramadan sounds awful. Not drinking water is not normal.

I’m Canadian so I got rid of everything save for our streaming platforms, Crave and Gem. Not giving the US money anymore.

Read a lot of books. Swim. Go for coffee anytime I could with friends. Volunteer. Sit and stare out the window at the rain. Foster parenting.

I have a gas carriage lantern from Charleston SC.

A student who was a year older than me became a trans performance artist who became quite famous! She had a flirtation with Tommy Lee for a while before he realized she was trans. She does a great deal of theater work and is very talented.

Used to have one but not in Android store anymore.

My person is a well brought up Italian Catholic girl I was friends with, and when I looked her up she was wanted by the RCMP for embezzling millions out of an investment fund with her husband and then fled the country for years. She came back after they split and pleaded guilty and did four years in federal prison. This was a nice girl and this is super shocking.

I wish I could go back to the late 80s briefly so I could listen to the morning radio show on CFNY , which was my first introduction to alternative music,while I did my hair like I used to when I was a kid before school, which was always quite a production. I’d like to hear “Song For Whoever” by the Beautiful South come out of my boom box just one more time. But that’s all.

I remember dancing to it at alternative music night at the bar when I was 23.

It’s just so perfectly selected. Not much music I would normally listen to, but it’s all really lovely to have discovered.

Also I LOVE that they used French Canadian music on the show! It’s so nice to hear. I will start Shoresy soon, just Letterkenny echoing in my head a bit right now. Sometimes I just play the episodes and only listen because I find the dialogue comforting as I work.

I haven’t gotten to Shoresy yet but yes I hear that. Keeso is a gem, should be on stamps. His performances are just meticulously crafted.

My bad. Corrected.

Neko Case!
