what is the adjective “thirsty” in relation to salt? is there a specific word? or just blanket “craving”?

[Johnny Dib @johnnydib]

@anotherglassbox now THIS is missing middle.

pps: honesty is the best poetry; i’m a lousy poet haha

[Johnny Dib @johnnydib]

i’m just over here hunched over reading between the lines of a four-hundred page report, while completely ignoring the writing on the wall.

[Johnny Dib @johnnydib]

ps: i’m not actually reading a report, this is just a poem

i’m halfway through a bottle of wine and i just invented a new sport; hockey without sticks; soccer on ice if you will

my thought process is similar to my digestive system. i take in all these great ideas, with all their flavour profiles and aromas, then i have a long think and spin them in my brain a bit, and then i take a dump.

my conspiracy theory is that Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong created the 2008 market crash in order to enrich the plot of their sitcom.

@raniawrites but how do you crank to eleven?

@BelladonnaNHP omg i hung up on someone today because i thought i went to the answering machine 😬

@theurbangeog thank god it’s not defined; imagine a “no payroll and accounting” rule for abattoirs and massage parlours. or a by-law officer doing house visits to determine the squarefootage of living room space where power points are produced to charge commercial tax rate on hehe.

[Johnny Dib @johnnydib]

@theurbangeog haha super interesting; it’s not in this list of definitions. i guess it’s only defined negatively. which is flexible tbh. like, we charge DC only on the ground floor of downtown office towers, so haha. if sleeping is not allowed why else would you build 50 storeys 🤷‍♀️lol.

hurdles to verbally expressing a thought/feeling (eg, not topical, embarrassing, don’t have the words, not given the time, etc…); overcome hurdles and verbally express, but the audience picks up on nonverbal cues and hears something other than what was said. #existentialism

this is proof that the ultra rich are not cheating the tax code 😂

Canada Revenue Agency program targeting ultra-rich tax cheats nets zero convictions, not even a prosecution in six years

i was about to write a “die on this hill” type tweet on account that it’s 7AM and that makes it okay because i’m “clearheaded”, but i just found myself putting my shoes on to go on a walk before work lol. whoops got distracted from tweeting again.

[Johnny Dib @johnnydib]

@queasy_f_bby haha i just noticed the other comments are making snarky comments at academics who use the word “bodies” to refer to people. i have no clue what is going on in academia. but in the “real” world we use the word bodies to refer to people as well. every day language is not fussy.

[Johnny Dib @johnnydib]

@queasy_f_bby it is not inherently, no. it depends on context. otherwise “we need more hands” is even more dehumanizing. nothing dehumanizing when a foreman yells “we need more bodies here” if they need to pull something heavy for five minutes before everyone goes back to what they were doing.

[Johnny Dib @johnnydib]

@phillmv their point IS that they never protest; but fuck their point. because all of their empty rhetoric denouncing visible anti-gay outbursts and other forms of hate speech in their events is so hollow to the point of encouraging this shit in a world that otherwise moves away from it.

[Johnny Dib @johnnydib]

@GeoffreySinger @PlannerSean oh damn, data is so much better than walking about in laneways and thinking “where all the laneway suites?” lol

@lieholepiehole 😂 your single family homeowner self is scared of the condo dwellers in the new development down the road; the nimbies were right 😂
