I signed up for a LARP at #gencon so I reached out to the GM to say I was bringing a 6mo baby and could they incorporate that into my character?
I got a character sheet saying I was a minor noblewoman who had recently had a baby… or so it appeared to others. 1/3

My daughter asked if she could have a readover instead of a sleepover. Where friends come over and you just read for hours. And now I want one too.

I've been asking my male friends to do something - *watch if the first response to everything a woman tells you is to refute, say no or something negative*
One texted me later: Holy f*ck

Mask requirements end today in Ontario. I’ll still be wearing mine when entering shops because it’s a chill & easy way for me to make that space safer for others.
And I’d rather save my risk budget for moments when it’s more meaningful to not mask.

Semantic note. It's certainly a "truck" protest. Trucks are being used as a weapon of economic warfare against the Canadian state. But it's not a "trucker" protest. 90% of Canadian truckers are vaccinated, and comparatively few of the truck blockaders drive a truck for a living.

I downloaded all the data Amazon has on me, and honestly the creepiest thing about it is that they sent me the *actual audio files* of every time I spoke* to Amazon Alexa
*years ago when I was young and foolish about surveillance
