Dear real-world people with clearly AI avatars:
You're not as believably human anymore and your posts have already been losing trustworthiness because of it. I'm projecting that this will become more of an issue for you over time. Flaws are literally more attractive.

I just now at this big age learned that Canadian Thanksgiving is always on the 2nd Monday of October and the American one is on the 4th Thursday of November. I had to check because the US one always seems to drag out for over 2 weeks somehow. How do you people put in so much time?

My accounts on Meta where so much of my disability activism has lived are slowly being taken away. First Facebook was banned for me, and now Instagram is slowly "reviewing my accounts" and asking me to verify who I am way more than usual. That said, please follow @andrewgurza.bsky.social here.

Just in case you or someone you know gets one of these, this is not actually from SGI (Saskatchewan insurance) and is 100% a scam of some sort.

This Creedence from 1970’s been sounding exponentially prescient for quite a while now

I went down Virginia, seekin’ shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable
I watched the tower grow
Five Year Plans and New Deals, wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder, still I wonder, who’ll stop the rain?

This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:

They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

If "King says he believed he was Indigenous his entire life" based on a family story AND he's playing this like he's as surprised as anyone, then why, in 2015, did he say he went to residential school? That sounds suspiciously like a lie, so what's the surprise, sir? 😒 torontosun.com/2015/03/13/a...

Bill 9 is unscientific and immoral. It does nothing to protect children. It is only designed to hurt them by denying doctor supported life saving care.

Kill Bill 9, not our children.
