Mostly agree w/my friend Brandon here. I wouldn’t say Canada’s one of the BEST countries on the planet, but it’s a shite sight better than the US right now, and we really could use y’all’s help. #uspoli #cdnpoli #lgbtq

And while I'm at it, here's my Year in Review playlist for 2024. Over 1300 songs, over 100 hours of music. This is all the music that got stuck in my ADHD music nerd brain this year. It's been a wild, tumultuous year; here's hoping 2025 is less...interesting... #music #playlists #mlim #mylifeinmusic

I understand Elon Musk is trying to get people to stop donating to Wikipedia, which reminded me that I hadn't yet made my usual annual donation to Wikipedia, so now that's been taken care of

Consider this my "year-end" post. It's been a hell of a year. A lot has happened, and a lot has changed for me. Y'know that old curse, "May you live in interesting times"? Here's hoping 2025 is less..."interesting". #life #yearend

On this week's playlist: A lot of more typical/benign stuff from Slipknot, Oingo Boingo, 100 Gecs, et al. But also Barenaked Ladies, CCR, The Tragically Hip, Arcade Fire, and a few others coming in with a few tearjerkers due to some recent life changes. #playlist #music #mlim #mylifeinmusic #spotify

Thinking of a friend today whose friendship I lost thanks to Cannabis Use Disorder. I knew him since grade school, he was the best man at my wedding. His addiction divorced him from reality so severely that he wilfully cut contact with all his friends. I miss him. 😢 #cud #addiction #mentalhealth

Ugh. Okay. Look. Does this suck? Absolutely. But ultimately, I'm just over here rolling my eyes because here's why I'm not worried about Captain Muskrat wrecking D&D: 1/4 #musk #elon #hasbro #dnd #ttrpg #dumbshitbillionaire #twatwafflememelord

Y'know what? I need a pick-me-up, and #fellowshipfriday IS a cool idea. Go follow my bro, both here and over on his Twitch and YouTube channels. He's a good dude, and what kind of big brother would I be if I didn't promote his content? #twitch #youtube #gaming

I love how every time I post something about work-related burnout, I get at LEAST a half-dozen follows from dumb AI startups, tech industry keeners, or hustle culture dweebs. Why in the FUCK are you following someone like me? #work #mentalhealth #burnout

I marvel at people who constantly go the extra mile in their 9-5 jobs. I alternate between rolling my eyes in disdain and genuinely wondering what they get from it. Satisfaction? Happiness? Excitement? I've not felt any of those between the nine-to-five hours in over a decade. #work #mentalhealth

TikTok might be algorithmic brain rot central, but Metal & Coffee is fucking awesome and has introduced me to so many new bands, if you're a metalhead like me, and a TikTok user, go give her a follow: www.tiktok.com/@metalandcof... #music #tiktok #contentcreators #creators #metal

What I love most about this is that Final Fantasy was a series that got its name from the fact that its creators believed this would be the only game they ever made, and that it wouldn't sell. #gaming #finalfantasy #notsofinalafterall #wholesome #jrpg #mmorpg

Are handheld gaming devices slowly going to replace home consoles? I know I'm admittedly a Valve/Steam Deck Stan, but when Nintendo is developing another portable device, and Sony is apparently entering the chat, I have to wonder... #gaming #handheld #portable #valve #nintendo #sony #ps5 #steamdeck

Anyone else out there playing the new Pokémon TGC Pocket game? It’s honestly making me want to pick up a few physical decks and start playing for the first time since high school, but also I’ve been getting back into TCGs a bunch lately regardless #justnerdthings #pokemon #cardgames #tcg

People ask me why I don’t post tech industry stuff. Simple. I AM NOT MY JOB. I am so much more than that. Also this isn’t LinkedIn and I’m not an awful hustle culture bro. You can enjoy the work you do, but IMO it’s incredibly unhealthy to make it your entire personality. #work #tech #mentalhealth

Happy Birthday Mr. Claremont, thank you for so much of my childhood, and thank you for helping to give voices to those of us who have gone through life being othered and shamed simply for being who we are. #xmen #makeminemarvel #queerrights

Maybe it’s my own myopia speaking here, but the tablet market has always seemed like a bit of a niche one, and very few companies outside of Apple have remained in the space since tablets really took off way back when. #technology #mobile #tablets #google #elgoog #apple #android #pixel
