Twitter is Xed. My hot water tank that gushed water was replaced by a Giant-manufacturer-dented tank that the customer service supervisor doesn’t want to replace with an undamaged one since transport companies have a habit of bunging up a tank en route from factory to Toronto and so they can’t get me the energy efficient…

Summertime and the Carbon Dioxide Is High
Carbon dioxide. That gas of climate change — and vegetation exhalations at night. I walked into the room where my Aranet4 is sitting, a room I hadn’t been in for 12 hours and only for a few seconds all the previous day (Sunday) and my jaw dropped. 1132ppm carbon dioxide?? What the actual f—‽ This…
Joined Bluesky!
At 9:28AM, I downloaded the Bluesky app, entered the invite code my Tweep Karen Walton (Canadian screenwriter) had just sent me via Twitter DM, and joined Bluesky! I’d entered my email last Fall on their waiting list, then realizing I wasn’t going to get an invite code anytime soon, last week I launched a Substack…
Improving My Community Through Fiction
How would you improve your community? Back in the 20-teens, the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission — Toronto’s public transit system) was enraging me so much, I wrote a satire, starring a naïve TTC fan who landed a job there, much to her delight! I set up a Twitter account for her and everything. I wrote…
Ontario Election in Twitter Threads
Unreal. @globalnewsto day before election, wastes air time on poll results. Hey, Ontarians we know the election results already, no need to inform you on the issues. 🙄🤬 Have to use Twitter to get informed. #onpoli #ONelxn #OHIP To counter my complaint, @globalnewsto ran a decent piece on what disability advocates are looking for from…
Letter to Anglican Diocesan Bishop About Rev. Coren on Twitter
Dear The Right Reverend Susan Bell, I’m writing to you today about Rev. Michael Coren’s recent tweets about the reporter Travis Dhanraj and his response to me when I challenged him on it. I wouldn’t pursue it except that he represents Christianity and our church to the world and did, in effect, recognize his mistake…
Ground Hog Day?
BrainGirlAndCat does video blogging. She used to be on Twitter, and I came to know her through BIST, I think. The Brain Injury Society of Toronto recently tweeted out her latest video. BIST (@BrainInjuryTO) 2019-07-08, 9:45 AM “Every day is like Ground Hog Day,” From her home in Ireland, Brain Girl shares the story about…
And Just Like That My Lindamood-Bell Reading Rehab Is Over
It’s surreal. It seemed like the whole summer stretched ahead of me, five nights a week spent in intensively retraining my brain to read with comprehension, two nights recovering my energy before once again being immersed in Visualizing and Verbalizing the Lindamood-Bell way. I met and worked with six, seven different clinicians. Suddenly, tonight, it’s…
Week One Lindamood-Bell Reading Comprehension Progress Report
All of a sudden, my first week at Lindamood-Bell Australia was done! Never so happy as to hear “we’ll stop there” as time was up in my second hour Thursday night. Yet vying with the fatigue was this alertness, this up state that my neurodoc described as excitement, excitement at starting something new and at…
