Now let's never do it again
Daylight Saving Time is finally fucking over.
I love him, thank you for sharing
Daylight Saving Time can go to hell
The sun will rise in #Toronto #Ontario tomorrow at 7:40, 3494 seconds later than the day before.
It will set at 19:16, 3674 seconds later than the day before.
🤷
"It's not like it used to be" == "I moved to the outer suburbs and go downtown once a year, which is somehow your fault"
Being kinda bad at something is a perfectly valid destination, too. I love it when someone's eye and imagination clearly have a vision but their hands simply aren't trained to cooperate, it's so human and charming
"Our light is too valuable to be wasted on vainglory."
In Toronto it collapsed well before covid, as skyrocketing rents and deliberately anti-fun action by the city rapidly degraded everyone's stability and access to physical spaces. We're now seeing a resurgence, though, driven in large part by kids who lost their high-school years to the pandemic
Because everything in the built environment presumes nobody exists under 5'6"
It is really bizarre that despite the fact that 5’4 is the average height for US women, women who are that height are still frequently called “short.” (Same goes for men who are perfectly average height!)
It's a personal pet peeve of mine that women who are basically average height (it's 5'4 in the US I think) are so often considered "short".
Good news, everyone!
Toronto #Goth legends have finally put their 2016 album "My Dear Violet" on Spotify and other streaming services! Should be on TikTok, Instagram, and other places, too!

All else aside, anyone who calls me "an account" is getting blocked
Already, the evenings are getting shorter. Daylight Saving Time steals so much from us
The sun will rise in #Toronto #Ontario tomorrow at 7:41, 50 seconds later than the day before.
It will set at 16:40, 3 seconds later than the day before.
Looking forward to this! BTW for future posts we are currently in Eastern Standard Time or EST, as Daylight Time ended in November (or you could just use ET and not have to worry about that)
I agree that there are productive and unproductive ways to engage with those topics, and X has long since ceased to be productive. My feed here is certainly not short of death nor politics, but the tone is decidedly less hostile and more oriented toward solutions
What is important here is that this is a public forum, where everything we post is observed by both allies and enemies alike, and the decision to engage with critical or hostile commentary always needs be considered within that context
I might prefer "productive" as a descriptor simply because "positive" has more cultural baggage to overcome; it doesn't inherently imply "good vibes only", but will often be interpreted that as such, which bad-faith actors will levy as supposed evidence of coercive control or suppression of dissent
It's not the same thing in the same way that another artist riffing on my work is different from a t-shirt bot
If someone has a legitimate concern and I'm the right person to hear it, they will know a more appropriate way to approach me
Doing our infighting in public is a massive tactical failure, and I'm really not interested in addressing criticisms from people who aren't also working with me toward solutions, so an app like this is almost never going to be the right place for such discussions
Do whatever the hell you like, but I just said that's not what I'm here for and you will not accomplish anything by trying to force it on me
There is a valid place for constructive criticism, but this app is not it. I question the motivations of those who prioritise having an audience for their complaints over having an actual path toward resolving them
If you're planning on rolling in and calling TST a scam and Lucien a charlatan, or any variation there of, just block me so I don't have to waste my time blocking you. I will not tolerate you. I owe you nothing, that is what you will get. Your weak rhetoric and sad virtue signalling aren't wanted.
You can buy adhesive power-button covers for that sort of thing!
