  I need to get off Google Docs. It's where I've been doing my writing for years. As of this week, it's got AI nonsense all over the damned place. No, I don't want AI to even out my writing. How do I disable this shit? How do I get all my writing to an AI-free program without ripping out my hair? I want to be able to access my documents across different devices. How can I do this? I am not a programmer. #WritingCommunity #GoogleDocs #FediHelp #AISlop

  https://an7gc.ca/donate/ Namaygoosigagun First Nation received no warning of or support for escaping the inferno that destroyed their community. If you can afford to give, please do.

  First Nation communities in Ontario issued a moratorium on glyphosates because, among other things, they increase risk of forest fires. The glyphosate was sprayed anyway. Entire Indigenous communities have been destroyed in these fires. No aid was sent. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sudbury/glyphosate-spraying-wildfires-1.7627844 #glyphosate #ForestFire #Wildfires #Ontario #Indigenous #Indigedon

  Wildfire smoke is coming to southern Ontario again tonight or tomorrow. It is extra bad because of the heatwave. If you must be outside in it, wear a respirator & avoid exertion. Please keep safe. #ClimateDiary

  If you frequent Tim Horton's, please tip your server. Yes, the servers are allowed to collect tips. They're just not allowed to make it apparent. I worked for a T Ho's. It's bloody hard work, it disabled me, & I was paid poorly. I was lucky to make $1 in tips a week.

  I'm trying to come up with a list of comps for my upcoming collection of deconstructed fairytales, folktales, & terrors. Any ideas? It's got everything from shapechanging grannies, feminist cannibals, gay corvids doing crime, and robotic polar bears rampaging a post-apocalyptic Arctic wasteland. #WritingCommunity

  I'm almost finished filling out the promotional paperwork for my debut book. It feels like this part is taking as long as writing the book did! #WritingCommunity

  Throwback to 1998 when I was still a baby dancer. I'm the tall one in the middle. I remember that it was extremely hot out that day. I did a long shimmy routine on stage. #BellyDancers #ThrowBack

  I just unsubscribed from a newsletter I've been following for more than a decade. Why? Because the author was talking about how she gets medical advice from ChatGPT. I can't watch. It's like a horror movie in real life.

  #ScribesAndMakers April 22: "What fictional character (from any media) do you find the scariest?" Begbie from Trainspotting. He's probably my alltime favourite villain.

  I really gotta wonder about some publications. If it has major spelling mistakes on the front page in large print, I have questions about the editing and proofreading process.
