The Lake House (2006), a time-travel epistolary romance (!) starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves.

I don’t know if I’ve seen this one before, but I remember forming the opinion I don’t like her hair.

If it's a two canvas painting, it's a diptych.
If it's three, it's a triptych.
Is there an analogous term for a single canvas? A tych?
What about four, five, six, or more?

I've been thinking about someone I was supposed to tutor in high school.

If I remember correctly: he was levels behind in reading, and for some reason I assumed homophones were what we should spend our time on.

I don't think I helped him. I don't know what would have helped him. Probably I should have asked.

If you haven't seen it yet, go check out @ernie's new search engine ...

... which automatically appends "&udm=14" to the end of your search query ...

... thereby triggering Google to give you your results with no AI answer at the top, and (for me, anyway) no ads

It's like google from 2004 or something

A fantastic piece prompt by man vs bear...

"Patriarchy has everything to do with men, but at the same time, nothing at all. In a male-centered society where maleness is associated with power, what’s really being centered is power itself. What’s suppressed is mutual relationality. Patriarchy is intertwined with colonialism, racism, and other oppressive social structures based on hierarchy. It is a fundamental fracturing of our human wholeness."

Really interesting article about different, more egalitarian ways to pay people for their work.

“The way we compensate now usually means that the people who are most privileged earn the most money.”

Crowd is growing here at #Ottawa City Hall.

#RemoteWork enables people across Canada to have good government jobs and helps ensure that public policy isn’t made by people living in an Ottawa bubble.

Mom: Don't be weird
Dad: Don't be weird
Classmates: LOL YOU'RE WEIRD
Church: We don't associate with people that are weird, also a bunch of them are in sin
Work: Weird is unprofessional
People: JuSt bE YoUrsElf

#GetWeird, none of it matters as much as you're surviving, life's too short to keep the heavy mask welded on your face
And if you can't, you can't, but I see you and you're cool in my book

By now you’ve probably heard
that another person
has contracted avian influenza,
but don’t worry
(the CDC says don’t worry)
for that person is a farm worker
and you are not a farm worker,
but please remember
farm worker is another term
for a human being
and you are one of those.

My daughter just started watching Star Trek TNG and asked why people “talked like that” a long time ago 😳😂

you probably don't remember my friend with a cat who tried to date a woman with two dogs. it didn't work out. she dated some more. it went badly every time. she decided to move after 7 years in this city. it was final. she sent her stuff to another city, sold her furniture, and had a train ticket for Monday. on Sunday, she went to our local queer place to kind of say goodbye to this part of her life.
boom! she met a woman. of course, they spent the next 2 days together. I am very amused.

First day of the new dosages of Strattera. Don't notice a difference.

There are numerous factors that could have stopped it from working today, so process of elimination. Will try removing factors tomorrow and see if it gets any better.

Side note:
Maintenance came by to replace my bathroom light, and I hid the fish tank behind a bunch of boxes lol

I just bought a new (to me) coat at the thrift store. New, it retails for $300, but I only paid $25.

Still, it's the most that I've spent on a single item of clothing in years and I'm trying not to feel guilty for such self-indulgence.
