AI believes you can construct a shirt to fit boobage with pleats and not darts. You cannot. Pleats give extra room on the same plane, it does not create a curve out of a plane. The world is currently FULL of garments with wrong 3D geometry that are completely unwearable. I blame Etsy.

My ADHD child is learning photography and listening to her confidently speak about focus…is making me chuckle

Ok. I slept half the day and ate nutritious high calorie food and i feel substantially better now. so. Let the HALLOWEENING begin!!!

*collapses on floor* all our ballot boxes balanced. we were able to cobble together enough vouching and ID so everyone who was eligible to vote was able to So if someone I don’t like gets elected, I can 100% say (from my corner) It was done fairly But wow. Kind words were few and far between

Guys. I said be kind!!! I’m going to have a nervous breakdown here on my break. im sorry we have so few staff and the weather sucks and the entrance isn’t marked with all the signs and the traffic is bad and the boxes are assigned and all your neighbours came exactly when you did.

Ok folks. I got called in to supervise a voting place tomorrow due to someone calling in sick. Jumping In last minute and half blind. Be kind!

Can people spread the word, this election is being run with 2020 rules? ASSIGNED VOTING PLACE, and an assigned ballot box. If you are NOT at your assigned box, you vote absentee (multi-envelope). BUT bonus, elections BC has no easy way to find out your assigned box number other than your card

I LOVE bsky’s blocklist subscription feature

Huh. So when we asked for more women centric research, this wasn’t on my bingo card of potential findings. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

I once had a chance to talk with an extremely wealthy individual, old money. He explained that fines are just normal costs. His car doesn’t get “towed” It’s a bad valet service. His assistant deals with it, he parks where he pleases. That mentality explains a fair amount of billionaire behaviour

So. This was an interesting question to get on a web form survey. I wonder how effective it is.

Can we please remove from the common vernacular the marketing term “activations” it’s just a sponsor pop-up… 100% ignorable advertising

Huh. I just read a NYT article that in passing indicated deeply subsidizing childcare is a way of acknowledging insane housing prices and providing targeted financial relief to that socio-economic group. Never thought about it that way

Teachers!!! You told us “don’t let the kids on the social media” so we listened Please stop giving assignments like “write this character’s twitter” or “in the style of instagram” …its *really* hard to explain the meta concepts of social media

I think if I signed up for this the data would get fully skewed. I don’t think we have been all healthy since school started

Dear new Vancouver Council, can we adopt one cities bodega cats plan, please? I know it’s not like number one priority. But I think it would improve everyone’s mental health.

13yo: I think the reason I don’t get sick is because I chew my nails Me: you mean… because you microdose germs?? 13yo: YES! Exactly

we have this window by our front door that we can sort of see out of when someone approaches the door. Both my cat and I reacted as if someone was going to drop a package or knock...but nothing. I check the camera. No one. ...I want an explanation that doesn't rely on the supernatural

A REAL CELEBRITY IS COMING TO VANCOUVER TODAY!!!!

Our local impoverishment fellow is being discharged from hospital, but needs a little financial help. Instead of asking for donations, he’s asking people to buy the megaphone from him. Billionaires could learn a thing or two from this guy

Am I the only one who is concerned about the ability of this newly elected city council to, um, function? I hope but after meeting one cope member who was fully disorganized, refused to follow procedure/rules, and was very self important, I’m hoping it was just a bad moment and not representative?

Dear @copevancouver.bsky.social @vangreens.bsky.social and @onecityvan.bsky.social Thank you for doing exactly what you said you would do: unite to not split the vote so we could have a real shot at change. This could not have happened without your cooperation. PLEASE keep it up.

Ooookay. One more day of advance for me.

Whyyyyyyyy can’t everyone love wonks as much as I do *sulks* I love smart people

Oh nosssss! Looks like Brady Rogers got elected to Kelowna Council. Poor guy has to do the job now that barely wants to do! Good on you Brady for rewriting the book on how to get a good guy elected Normalize saying “I don’t know but I will keep asking questions”

2 voters processed per minute today Have you ever had somebody added to a team that just made everything go worse, so you fired them and shortstaffed you ending up doing way better? … so many things about management I never wanted to have to learn One more day serving democracy

We ended the day with a processing rate of 1.6 voters per minute, serving just shy of 1200 voters. No one waited more than 30 minutes. New voter registration, vouching, curb side voting all included. I had a team of 8.

We are processing voters at a rate of 1.5 per minute at our voting place. WOW. It’s been busy.

MapQuest is the unexpected comeback we needed!

Tomorrow provincial election advance voting starts. Please be patient, and be kind. Those people at the polling places have no control over the following complaints: - why can’t I vote where I normally do? - why can’t I just vote municipal here as well? - municipal had no lines!

A big supporter just went out and made me a “Vote for Lucy” Strava map! 💕 Get out and vote for all 13 @onecityvan.bsky.social candidates this Saturday!

2017 I was an Elections BC District Office technology officer. I had to bring my kids one night because there were after hours election issues and I didn’t have child care. Not sure quite old enough to work elections yet. The one in the hat though came to help hang stuff up high tonight for me.

I’m always very kind to Jehovah’s Witnesses. It is just a requirement of their religion to go door-to-door. They don’t mean any harm by it. But I did take great joy in slamming the door in the face of a particular …candidate. I have no kind words for you.
