Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

Lesbian rights are human rights. Gay rights are human rights. Bisexual rights are human rights. Transgender rights are human rights. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

This is Freecell from hell.

I'll say this much: It does feel like an embodiment of the American spirit to believe that a generous financial incentive can overcome any moral objections or concerns about personal safety. Unfortunately for them, Canadians are not Americans.

Trump has shown himself to be absolutely incompetent at everything but lying and marketing. The problem is that he's torn the country apart in the process and will leave his fans yearning for a *real* Mussolini. www.youtube.com/watch?v=chxt...

This is an American thing. Did you know that the Puritans weren't escaping religious persecution, but were instead looking for a place to enforce their own? That culture never left.

Today's flight: Quesnel to Fraser Lake. Carrying like, 400 lbs of cargo, which left only 82 lbs for fuel. Since winds were strong (gust to 22kts) and both runways were long, I added an extra 10 lbs fuel over that to ensure that I had enough. The crosswind landing at Fraser lake was interesting.

Well damn.

Yay! My physiotherapist has signed me off to go back to work. Boo! I caught the sinus cold going around my house. Oh well. At least my attendance record won't be affected.

Oh *fine*. As soon as I celebrate a migraine milestone, and tell the world about it, look what happens...

MigraineBuddy tells me that I've been without a migraine for a whole 50 days straight. I have my RingConn to thank for this. Without it, I routinely wake up not knowing if I got enough sleep, especially on broken nights.

Finally! An actual, working, and perfect solution to Dad's hearing aid and bluetooth pairing to the TV! And he *loves* it! "It sounds perfect now!" - Dad

Thing I hurt today: My neck, from using my VR headset. It's clearly part of the problem that I'm off work for. Oof. I hate flying on a regular screen.

Things I fixed today: - Dad's hearing aids. - Getting his TV to *stream* to said hearing aids with Bluetooth. The second one is super cool and makes it so his TV is quiet for everyone else.

Great article by @englishrail.bsky.social about the success of Brampton Transit. (hint: it's not the wifi or the expensive infrastructure; it's frequent and reliable bus service all day long!!!) www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
