Skye Birdsong 🇨🇦 (they/them)

I am so gutted to see that BioWare is being shut down. Our industry is going through rough times right now, but this loss is particularly painful. Some of my favourite games of all time came out of this studio, I can't believe there won't be another Dragon Age or Mass Effect. Truly tragic!!!

There's nothing that engages me more than watching Hoarders and seeing how some folks abuse cats. My latest wonderful cat, Mochi, came from a hoarding situation. She was 8 years old and not sterilized, and both her and her kitten were in terrible condition when they were brought to the shelter.

Who says McCain Deep 'n Delicious isn't a REAL dinner??

It'll be two weeks tomorrow since Tiny Cat passed away. I still haven't been able to bring myself to wash her pillow. I picked up her ashes today, and they had tucked in an envelope a lock of her fur. Such caring, thoughtful notes from the crematorium and the vet. Still so sad.

Said goodbye to my beloved Tiny Cat today. I'll miss her bossing me around, sitting on my lap for hours on end, and sleeping on the pillow next to me every night. She was my best gal for the past 14 years.

Tiny Cat is nearing the end. I have loved her for 15 years. Hug all your kitties every day.

I don't talk politics a lot but, what I don't understand about Keir Starmer was folks voted Labour in the first place because they were sick of Conservative governance, then he just... kept on doing exactly what they were doing. Baffling, no?

That feeling when a delivery you've been waiting for all day at 8pm has its delivery date changed to tomorrow...

"What exactly do you expect Carney to do / not do?" A thread of 50 specific items (with links, and not in any particular order), a large fraction of which are in line with warning signs we pointed out early on and were told to be quiet, wait and see, or trust his 4D chess acumen. 1/??

I need to go move the laundry into the dryer. But Tiny Cat has commandeered my leg.

Note the classic one arm extension in this A++ specimen

It's so hard to have to tell people that no, I can't go on a work trip to the United States, because my government has issued a travel advisory for people with Gender X passports. It's out of my control. I would love to attend, but I can't.

This is so awesome. Sound ON!

“They’re both cherry picking a particular year, they’re cherry picking a particular method and they’re ignoring this long term more concerning trend in the data.”

I got my crochety, old, terminally ill cat some pet stairs like 6 weeks ago because she can't jump as high as before and is really clumsy. Tonight she finally used them!!!! Good girl!!! So grateful to the talented vets who have gotten me so much extra time with my special girl.

This is amazing!!

This is great!!!

Best thing about working from home: I can microwave fish for lunch without anyone giving me a hard time.

So. Much. Gender!!!

This bathroom door sign made my night.

Relatable. Alt text: Grover driving a car looking grumpy. Text above it reads: Introverts after canceling too many times so now they have to go this one time or they'll lose all their friends

My wife asks me why I get up so early but it's because there's only a small window where I can get a photo like this 😅 #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature

I helped develop a training model around gender and sexuality over a decade ago—I never could have anticipated it’d cause such a storm, writes @elierlick.bsky.social.

Learning a guitar solo everyday until my single goes viral #7

Holy moly I thought Epic's layoffs were bad - Meta is letting go 8 THOUSAND people?? We are going to end up with a crashed global economy if we don't start charging corporations proper tax rates and redistributing wealth by universal income. www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

This is fantastic! financialpost.com/commodities/...

I gave Baby a new nickname: Sir Bleps-a-lot

Tiny Cat was very affectionate and happy today

Oh hell yes Crimson Desert added a photosensitive mode! I've been BEGGING for more games to have this, too many brights or fade to whites will almost always trigger a migraine for me. Can't wait to spend some time on my week off next week playing more of this game!!

Ontario sold Doug Ford's private plane back to Bombardier - turns out public shaming still works on Canadian politicians at least! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

How did I just notice today that Tesla's logo looks like an IUD

A couple of my best friends said I had to watch the show The Legend of Vox Machina. They had a running bet on who my favourite character was going to be. I asked, does it have any disaster bisexuals? The way they CHORTLED. I am almost at the end of S2 and friends, I have not been disappointed!

Trying to explain to folks who don't get them how debilitating migraines can be. Ever since Epic's layoffs, my brain has been a raging dumpster fire. But I still have to keep working and living my life, I've got no choice. Medication is not helping right now either.

Trying to get Tableau data to look pretty is more tiring than leg day at the gym - and I HATE leg day!!

In case we needed yet another reason to divest from oil

I've never understood why the US thinks they can dictate to other countries whether they are allowed to have a nuclear program, while they keep their own nuclear program. They are the ones creating this world in which other countries feel like they need it to protect their own sovereignty, no?

i feel like you all need this

I know this happens almost every year, but c'mon man. Snow in April? Blech!

For anyone who hasn't seen it, the movie White Light/Black Rain will forever change you. The U.S. is the only country to have ever used a nuclear bomb - I sincerely hope we're not about to see a repeat of this horrific history because time has sanitized the effects.

Mel has put into eloquent words what my increasingly stress-addled brain can't. Living as trans in a time when my world is shrinking day by day is fraught with upheaval. But I wouldn't change who I am for anyone and anything.

Craig is doing a book contest - I'm going to have to read all these books!! I really want to read more books by Canadian authors.

I was doing quite well with migraines lately, but the stress of the past week has sent me spiralling into a combo depression + crippling migraine cluster era. Do not recommend. When can we free ourselves of this late-capitalist hellscape?

I already loved maple syrup, this is just gorgeous!

Omg my new fav

I'm really enjoying Crimson Desert, but there's a couple of things that drive me nuts. 1 - infinitely spawning enemies when you're clearing an area. And 2 - save files don't take you back to exactly where/when you were when you saved. 🥲

That feeling when you were waiting for an important delivery, they give you a 12-hour window, and then they arrive in the 2 hours that you are out of the house for a funeral. Then when you get home, half the order is missing - forgotten or stolen, who can say?

Always nice at the end of a long day to have a little cuddle

I need everyone to see this cheese puff and admire
