Do you hear the kitty sing
Singing the song of wanting food
It's the song of how she'll starve to death
If I don't give her food

When the beating of your heart
Echoes the growling of your tum
It's coz breakfast for the kitties has finally come!

Inspired by the melodious crooning* of my cat Cake, I make up songs while feeding my cats.

Today was an excerpt from an imaginary musical called Les Affamés, which is a mashup of Les Mis and Cats. Maybe some Oliver! in there as well.

and if i said the societal obsession with punishing cheaters was because we live in a deeply misogynistic and carceral society, then what

Ah, those six sweet words that set my mind at ease: "None of my allergies are anaphylactic."

Happy Labour Day, everyone! I'm in Toronto with my fellow Bargaining Team members, and my dear Part Time counterpart Sara!

Or is that just a wire for his earpiece? That's less funny.

I've always wanted to know!

Also, I'm probably going to be renting a space for this. If you have or know of suitable spaces available, please hmu.

So I guess I'm last-minute running a parlour larp in Montreal this weekend!

Montreal gamers, please put me in touch with folks you think might be interested!

About to get on a train en direction Montréal! Texte-moi if you're around. I have a whole deux semaines à m'amuser! Café, jaser, karaoké, n'importe quoi, let's hang out!

I'm so happy to have these in my actual hands. Thanks Mo and @warbirds.bsky.social ! 💖

Ugh. So. I was caught in layoffs months ago and things are getting a bit desperate. If anyone is looking to hire a 15-year industry vet with a bunch of awards to do game design, narrative design, content design, or writing (games or other things!), please hit me up.

When we're making plans and I say "it's in my calendar", I'm really saying that meeting you is important to me, so I've done my best to ensure it happens. I'll definitely have forgotten by then, but I'll get a lovely surprise reminder just in time!

My love language is ADHD accommodation techniques.

There's someone there (e.g. me) to facilitate the whole thing

It's a group of people all playing out the (unscripted) scenario. And no audience means no observers!
July 1, 2025 at 8:57 PM
Sorry I didn't see your comment until now!
In a nutshell, at a larp you spend a couple of hours pretending to be someone else. There's generally some sort of scenario established; think of it as improv, but without an audience!

If you're bargaining with an employer who's actively trying to remove your vacation, make it easier to lay you off, and curtail your right to grieve unfair pay, is it unreasonable to keep drawing pictures of them at the negotiation table even though it makes them uncomfortable?

Asking for a friend.

I'm getting serious mixed messages here, Toronto.

Update: Simon has been found, safe and sound! Thank you to everyone who boosted the signal. 💖

Lost cat, Hamilton, Ontario

#hamont friends, please spread the word and message me with sightings. From a friend:

"My cat Simon, 6yo, is missing. He is very skittish and scares easily. Escaped overnight by breaking through a screen window. Last seen June 21 at Brucedale and Upper Gage."

I think perhaps the most wrong autocorrect ever gets is when I want to write "queer" and it changes it to "quiet".

Ha ha, very funny, @theonion.com, this would never...

Uh, why is The Onion posting on NYTimes.com?
