How is it? I’ve been wondering if it’s too much of the trope of woman makes bad guy good like Bon Appetit K-Drama.

Watching Love in the Clouds, C-Drama. It’s a fun light-hearted show so far. I need something with humour and isn’t too immersed in current reality. I waffle between action and this kind of show.

It’s Thanksgiving weekend. I need to find a good movie for Monday!

I’ll have to look for it.

With my heating back on as of yesterday, my neighbours are no longer receiving clean electrons. 😢 I guess my consumption will be more than generation for the next few months…unless we get another big warmup. #ClimateAction

For low-income Canadians who already file their taxes, this still won’t make up for the loss of the carbon fee rebate. Even the ones who weren’t aware of the benefits, will not receive as much as if the rebate had remained in place.

Universal basic income would’ve been a real replacement. #cdnpoli

Robots are pretty quickly becoming more capable and affordable. If you think this won't impact the labor market, you're engaging in cope, and if you don't think we should all benefit from robot labor via universal basic income as a fair GDP dividend, you're helping billionaires become trillionaires.

Where’s my phone?

You’re talking to it.

The city required developers to add design elements to stop that wind hitting pedestrians. Except somehow the architects of the new Toronto Western Hospital addition got away with not adding one. You have to fight the wind to get to the Leonard St entrance. It’s less windy downtown now than there!

😊 Every winter, I’m grateful Toronto is on the perfect side of the lake to avoid Lake Ontario effect snow. But we seem to be getting streamers from the ones north of us recently.

I saw a yellow thing dart by. Too small for a bird. Not the right shape or movement for a butterfly. Are there yellow hummingbirds in this area‽! Wish I could’ve seen it longer.

It is! I rode the TGV decades ago. Decades! And still Canada can’t figure out how to construct a high speed electric rail line. Pfft.

This will never ever be Constitutional or acceptable to Canadian voters, or cops or prosecutors for any reason.

Also, don’t they remember that Canada passed laws forbidding American law enforcement from chasing perps over the border. (See William Osgoode, first Chief Justice-1790) #cdnpoli

For everyone's information these are the sponsors of this US bill:

MAYBE NOT THIS YEAR BUT DEFINITELY TAKE IT SERIOUS

Too many rail lines taken out by near-sighted politicians when what this country needs is more, and fast electric ones, too. It’s so nice to visit elsewhere where they have trains.

That’s similar to roasting acorn squash. So many dishes out of one pumpkin!

Shireen Anne Jeejeebhoy @shireenj.bsky.social · 10h

It is! Toronto’s can make dressing for the weather…interesting. One part of the city is freezing and covered in snow, while another is noticeably warmer with no snow. The Great Lake effect!

It’s been a long time since I roasted pumpkin seeds. These look delicious!

Canada post is essential in small communities. Couriers don't deliver to PO Boxes. And not everyone gets their bills and mail electronically. Some older people still use paper bills and don't have access to tech. Plus some people don't have wifi - god forbid people have a choice.

Apparently, Indigo reports sales of Canadian-authored books have risen 25% because 🇨🇦 want to support fellow Canadians in this area, too, not just liquor and goods. Meanwhile, Indigo only carries some of my🇨🇦 paperbacks, and Americans remain my loyal audience.🤷‍♀️

Intense day of putting together all my ideas and research into @plottr.com for novel 3 of The Q’Zam’Ta Trilogy. Working out future tech based on current innovations and research is fun! 🤩 But my body isn’t as excited. Reward time with Netflix and hot chocolate!

iOS will pick out text in images to copy/paste into Alt-TXT for infographics. Some on here have given advice on how to write it. It’s a new skill for me too!

Thanks for the link! I first had neurostim in 2000, then found a powerful one in 2005 that radically healed my TBI. I wrote/researched on it👇

Nice! The sun was hot here yesterday. I’m looking forward to warming up under it on my walk.

Imagine a world without needing passwords or encryption keys, or security updates. It’d be so freeing!

Shireen Anne Jeejeebhoy @shireenj.bsky.social · 1d

Security and bugs. If it wasn’t for criminals and criminal states, we wouldn’t have so many updates. Wish we could sue the nefarious actors.
