A very happy “pretend I can empathize with the sadness of your sports team losing” season, to all who celebrate.

Avalanche danger rating on Post-it Mountain (aka my desk) has been raised to 5 - Extreme. Avoid high risk terrain and seek shelter.

@white_owly Give them both a raise and a promotion

@stoweboyd Aw, thanks Stowe. I miss writing. Just can’t seem to get back to it. But reading this makes me want to.

My brain, every time I need it to do APA citations

[Jane Watson @janewatsonHR]

@white_owly Can’t. No time. Too busy working 12 hour shifts at Body Disposal Depot. We’re hiring; want a job?

[Jane Watson @janewatsonHR]

@FlipChartRick I did. He leaves quite a legacy behind. Maybe I’ll revisit some of his books in honour of his passing 🤔 (She says while glancing at the long list of unread articles and books in her backlog)

@dds180 @shackletonjones @JonathanBoys @HungLee The evidence in my Twitter feed suggests that humans don’t need help from AI to generate this specific kind of nonsense

@shackletonjones @JonathanBoys @HungLee The evidence so far is that anything goes as long as it sounds catchy

@AllonShevat Stuff like this fills me with awe at human kindness, and total disgust that it’s necessary. When access to basic necessities depends on luck your system is very broken.

We need a total and complete shutdown of all new work terminology until we can figure out what is going on

"Quiet promoting"?!!!!

Brb, going to pound my head against a wall until this stops.

@Adam_Karpiak I’m a potato

“The gap between wage growth and labour demand was even greater among community services workers and early childhood educators.

Governments have promised to create 250,000 new child-care spaces by March, 2026, but who will staff these programs?”

Here’s my contribution to the @globeandmail’s @globebusiness “Decoding 2023 in charts” looking at wages vs vacancies in the care economy. The disconnect is huge. This challenge will be a defining issue in 2023 in the face of skyrocketing demand for care. #cdnpoli #canfem

“Nurses saw a nominal wage increase of just eight per cent between 2019 and 2022, even as demand exploded, and inflation shot up by 12.1 per cent.”

This during a period when they were being lauded as heroes, dealing with impossibly difficult working conditions. Disgraceful.
