I have too many hobbies, not enough time, a job in #UX that sometimes eats my brain, a brain that is wired weirdly.
I enjoy #weightlifting #knitting #fiberarts #videogames my partner and my dog. And maybe one or two other people.
(They/them)
Today's PR : Yoke cary over 100ft at 310lbs (140kg)
I also manage to lap 5he 180lbs atlas stone twice, not too far from lifting it!!

That's it. I've done it : 205lbs 13" deadlift.
So I officially need a new goal for this year and it'll be 315lbs. #strongman #strongthem #weightlifting

Giving my #KoteCardigan a little block to see how the shoulders fit before working on the sleeves and the collar/front band. I made the body longer than the pattern calls for because I wanted a big cardi! #knitting #cables

#Strongfolk training day!
I did farmer walks with a 110lbs in each hand over 100ft, twice! And then I miraculously managed to pass the 150lbs over the 48" bar, twice in 3 attempts. I barely got it in my lap last week. So proud!

La nouvelle d'un projet de loi déposé ce matin pour limiter le droit de grève est à glacer le sang. La liberté d'association est enchâssée dans nos chartes, et se doit d'être respectée. C'est une attaque frontale aux travailleuses et travailleurs de la part de la CAQ. #polqc #syndqc

I usually don’t read case studies, but, I've a soft spot for information architecture, especially when is emphasis the effort it takes, to create something that look simple and feel effortless. Simplicity isn’t the starting point – it’s the result of relentless focus and persistence. Yes.

How are we even supposed to do politics when the most milquetoast liberal centrist gets called a Marxist?
This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen

Sometimes I wish I could be a white guy, because you can be mediocre with a shit attitude and still have authority and given more credit in area you are incomoerent when given fact by professional and specialist. #WorkRant

Did I share that on Saturday I managed to lift on my knees a sandbag of 150lbs? Because I did. I couldn't lift it though.

That was a long week, but I also did a bunch of switches in my IT life. Switching to Graphene OS has been awesome. Switching from OneDrive to pCloud too. My personal laptop is now back on Fedora (after I didn't used a Linux distro for over 10 years!)

1/ Last week, the CBC reported on Valleyview Public Library in Alberta—the slow takeover of a town by far-right municipal councillors, & the shuttering of its library, seemingly to prevent what they believe is the spread of “gender ideology.”

#Training Deload week for me, and it feels almost lazy to do sets of 3 reps even if these reps are RPE8-9 (and thus I have strict press 60lbs) #strongthem #strongman #weightlifting

La belle ville de Québec. La ville est magique en hiver.

Quebec City is a magical place. Its people are so welcoming.
But they do have basic standards.

My #KoteCardigan now has pockets! I'm almost done with the body and I really love how clever the construction of this cardigan is : no seams anywhere.

Did I spent most my Sunday degoogling my phone. Yes I have. I switched to #GrapheneOS. Still annoying how much we rely on some of their apps for the day to day because they are easy to use. #degoogling

This week has been so brutal that even training has been draining. But, today I have managed the yoke at 290lbs over 50ft, then 3 sets with 110lbs atlas stone : 3 reps, and the two other a 2 reps. So I'll take it. #strongthem #strongman #weightlifting

Major breaking trans news: The ACLU has launched a lawsuit on behalf of 7 transgender people affected by Trump’s passport ban.

Incredible filing. The Trump admin is now swarmed with lawsuits over discriminatory and illegal executive orders.

While what’s happening in the U.S. right now may not seem as dramatic as book burnings from the past, this level of data wipe and censorship comes from the same place: eliminating public records of certain groups of people existing.

Je crois que le truc qui me stresse le plus avec ce qui se passe au USA c'est que quand on parle et qu'on dit que ça nous angoisse, on se fait dire par ceux (qui se sentent pas concernés semble-t-il) qu'on est alarmiste et qu'on exagère. Alors que c'est un preview du Canada avec Poilievre. #canpol
