Happy Halloween from Toffee Faye, AKA Tiny Criminal. #dogsky

It’s my manniversary! I’ve been on #HRT for 2 years already. It’s been one hell of a ride, but I’m so thankful I finally took that step.

FR<>EN #translators, it’s time to vent. What words are the worst to #translate? I’m thinking of things like valoriser, structurant, and dynamique in #French and insight and escalate in #English. Rant away! #translate #xl8

Spotted at my local #library. Ouch.

Unexpected obstacle to my #transition: this little gremlin doing her best to glue herself to the leg I need to inject.

What does the 'bunk' in 'debunk' mean?

Win for this week: I found out the other day that I don’t have cancer! Only took 2 months of chasing down doctors to finally learn my biopsy results…

For anyone who needs any of these: Take your meds. Hydrate, you precocious, mobile houseplant. You’re doing your best and that’s more than enough. You should be so proud of how far you’ve made it and all you’ve accomplished. Stop letting the unrealistic standards online get you down. Take care

Lexicomane [LEK-sih-koh-mayn] (n.) A lover of dictionaries; one who enjoys looking up words. Used in a sentence: “I used that dating app for sapiosexuals where I found a fellow lexicomane to take to the library as a first date.” _ 28 hours left! Don't miss out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra...

In hot weather like this, remember to keep an eye on your freelancers. Move them to a shaded spot, indoors if possible, away from ‘people’. Distract them with a computer or some unrealistic deadline. Do check on them, by email, but don’t forget to set yours to out of office in case they reply 🙏

Back in Cocagne, my happy place.

Next time I'm having a rough day I may very well cope by getting this very stupid sticker design printed.

Travelling today. I haven’t legally changed my name yet, so I’ve been “ma’amed” 3 times before 6:15 AM. Bleh.

The Oxford comma (also known as the ‘serial comma’) is the comma that separates the second to last item in a list from a final item that is introduced by ‘and’ or ‘or.’ It is optional...but be aware that not using the serial comma can result in some ambiguity.

tomb = toom womb = woom bomb = boom (eventually)

Hey ding-dongs, let’s have a chit-chat about 'Ablaut reduplication.' If you have three words, the order usually goes 'I-A-O.' -tic-tac-toe If there are only two words, ‘I’ is the first and the second is either ‘A’ or ‘O.’ -click-clack -King-Kong

’Sup? — Toffee Faye #dogsofbluesky

The advantage of Big Stupid Tables over generative AI is generative AI necessarily produces outputs that are likely to appear in its training data, while the outputs of a good set of dice tables may consist mainly of combinations of elements never before attempted on account of being dumb as hell.

I’m a professional translator who started transitioning in his 30s. I guess that makes me a trans-later translator.

Shot done! Remember, if you're on the fence because you're not sure if transition/HRT is right for you: it's completely okay to just do it for the bit and make the worst people around one step closer to an aneurysm.

Oh, be careful, Merriam-Webster, lest we suffer vertigo from the dizzying heights of our lexical ground.

Last night in #DnD shenanigans: I made it canon that when shifters bite someone, the victim turns into a furry. Or if they’re nonhuman, a skinny. There’s a convention every full moon.

Here, have a sleepy Toffee Faye, content after a day of mischief and general gremlinry. #dogsky

It doesn’t just smell like a campfire here… it tastes like one too.

Big news from Manitoba! Bill 43, which sought to add gender expression to the provincial human rights code, has received royal assent!

Signing Off… Good Night Y’all! 🐭

I hope I look like I love pronouns and abortions. I want people to look at me and say, “damn, that lady loves autonomy.”

Today my manager told me about a term paper he just graded that opened with, “Automatic translation software has been in use since last century. Back then, in 1987[…]” Rude.

Toffee is ready for tonight’s game! #GoJetsGo

Book day! It's my book day! OVERGROWTH, the closest I will ever come to an autobiography, is in the world today!

Tonight is stressful as hell for us #Canadians, so here’s my Disney character of a dog getting belly rubs. #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #chiweenie

If you’re in line when the polls close, stay in line. You can still cast your ballot. Your vote matters.

Always use a human translator number I don't know, I've lost count, in a series that is far less occasional than it should be. 🤦‍♀️ #xl8 🌐 💙📚

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

2/2 "We noticed you have a... simple lifestyle," they said. "A lot of phone games and TV. You've got psychic energy you're not using. We would just siphon off some of the excess to power up our telekinetic soldiers on the battlefield." I frowned. "But I need my brain for work." They just laughed.

I was sitting at my desk, doing my spreadsheets, when the men in the gray suits #returned. People said they were some kind of military recruiters. "You'd make a great psychic battery," they said. "You could help defend the country and keep your job." "A battery? What do you mean?" #vss365 1/2

Always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper(back).

Safe to say Toffee Faye is settling in well. Hard to believe I’ve had her less than a week. #dogsky #rescuedog

There’s a time and a place for everything. Unfortunately, due to a rupture in the space-time continuum, the time and the place for any given action are seldom concurrent anymore. This, as much as anything, explains the general lack of satisfaction which pervades the universe. #vss365
