Once I was owned by a tiny bakery.

Re-re-intro time:
Hi! I'm Jeff; still unconventional and all the rest. No longer owned by a tiny bakery, just carrying the debt and emotional baggage of business failure.
Amateur cruciverbalist yearning for neurodivergent self-improvement, poetry affirmation, and dopamine.
Looking for work.
Re-intro time:
Hi! I’m Jeff; an unconventional poet/Dad from the Canadian prairies. I have 2 adult kids, 2 rescue dogs, & have been madly in love w/ the same lowkey juggernaut since the 1900s.
I'm owned by a tiny bakery & I lived w/ ADHD 45yrs before discovering it. I'm probably bad at hide-&-seek.
What a clusterfuck.

My favourite thing about autocorrect is how it will change words that are absolutely written the way I intended so I have to go back and undo the change, sometimes twice because apparently I undid it wrong, and then I type "the" as "fhe" and it's totally fine leaving me to look like an idiot.

Do you know what would generate a huge economic impact for a city? Being the best at ensuring year-round multimodal accessibility.

We're fostering this little guy right now, and he's the sweetest thing.
He'll be up for adoption through Alberta Homeward Hound in a few weeks if you know of a good home. (www.albertahomewardhound.com)

Is the @cityofedmonton.bsky.social snow clearing map working for anyone else? All the plows disappeared, but I still see them IRL.

I think it was worth the stress.

I teach bystander intervention for a living and have taught de-escalation to law enforcement.

Trust me when I say that bottle girls, gas station clerks, strippers, front desk employees at hotels and airports, baristas, etc. have better de-escalation skills than any cop I've ever seen.

One of the most useful things a community organizer ever told me was "if someone wants to play tug of war with you, let go of the rope." The power in any conflict lies not w/ the person who initiates, but w/the person who responds. "Thanks for sharing your perspective, you may be right." And move on

Do your best work offline and do not expect to be thanked. Do it because it's the right thing to do, not because you want people to like you. We all go into the dirt alone. No one else will be there when your guardian angel starts listing off your good deeds. Learn to be emotionally self-sufficient.

Since the infighting and one-upsmanship has started--people who feel helpless + frustrated turn on each other, it's just a sad fact--remember: you don't have to like the people you fight alongside. Your comrades will say profoundly stupid bullshit to you, about you, etc. Let it roll off, keep going

I ask again, @andrewknack.bsky.social, @michaeljanz.bsky.social, why is the City of Edmonton still using X?
“Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok facing backlash from governments around the world after a recent surge in sexualized images of women and children generated without consent…”

This is the “supercomputer” Memphis is being poisoned & taken advantage of for?

I might have gone completely unfiltered on a stranger's comment on another stranger's IG story.

I'll lay awake tonight worried that they don't see it as an attempt at humour.
