All Canadians:

(or at least all Canadian citizens, which isn’t quite the same thing)

There is an election Monday, April 28th. That’s tomorrow. You need to vote.

If you received a voter card, it will have your poll location on it. If you didn't, you can find the location HERE (français). Elections Canada does not call voters - if someone called or texted you to say the time or location has changed, that’s fraud. Check the website for accurate information.

In order to vote you need EITHER a driver’s license or provincial ID card, OR two pieces of ID, one of which has your current address. A letter from your University or residence counts. (Proof of address is more important than proof of citizenship.) The full list of ID accepted is HERE (français).

If you didn’t receive a voter information card, you may not be registered to vote. But that’s okay!

YOU DO NOT NEED TO REGISTER IN ADVANCE TO VOTE IN CANADA.

You can register at the poll station on Election Day. It’s not hard and it doesn’t take very long, and you don’t need extra ID.

Voting is quick and usually simple. Polling hours depend on your province (français), but all polls will be open until at least 7:00 pm, usually later. (Note that in the Eastern Time Zone polls open late, at 9:30 am.) Your employer is required to give you time off to vote (français) if you need it.

Information for voters with disabilities is HERE (français). If you have feedback on accessibility or other issues, there will be forms you can fill out at your polling station.

If you got a mail-in ballot and you have not sent it yet, you can drop it off in person at your local Elections Canada office (français) or the address on the envelope, anytime before the polls close.

Here’s the acceptable ID list again (français).

EVERYONE GO VOTE.

Oh I forgot to say.

Bug (4) is going to start school now so we’ve been doing literacy practice. One set of exercises was about “opposites” and I drew a card reading “fat”. Ok what’s the opposite of fat.

Bug thought about it and then said dreamily: “meat.”

Because not everyone has to be your friend, but having some participation in the social sphere at work means people will help you if there is an issue and also because you build networking opportunities.

I am not friends with my co-workers.

However, by participating is basic and pleasant social conversation I have saved $5000 in car repairs, learned a bunch of stuff regarding HVAC, been recommended several services and repair people, gotten some good book recommendations and got headhunted for a job at my current office that came with a 20% pay increase and 3 more weeks of vacation.

I know this is the autism website

But not all social interaction is about making friends

Sometimes its about making surface level connections that pay dividends in other ways.

people are like "ummm why would i talk to my coworkers i'm here to get PAID not make FRIENDS" and then cry about loneliness. sometimes you have to make small talk to make Big Talk

saw the guy who is repairing our apartment elevator cross himself while reading something on his ipad which we can only hope relates to his feelings about the pope's death and not his feelings about the state of our elevator

sorry to have to tell you this but if a stranger comes to your inbox or slides in your DMs asking you for your money with some sob story, no matter how tragic and convincing the story is, they are a scammer — especially if the story is obviously copied and pasted, formatted in the exact same way as the other 100 bots in your inbox

I won't say it's, like, the series' best feature, but on a personally relatable level my favourite thing about The Murderbot Diaries is the repeated implication that most of SecUnit's success as a hacker stems from the fact that it keeps bumping into mission-critical systems where nobody bothered to change the factory default wi-fi password.

For real? Is stop-motion animation style not your to your liking?

Do you have a preferred style of animation or motif? What kind of stylistic choices do you prefer?

Is there a type of animation you are interested in? Cyberpunk? 2-animation? Chibi-cell shaded?

And, before anyone says anything about race, look:

It's not that hard.

Reasons Charles and Caroline Bingley have the same name, by order of increasing absurdity:

1. Lack of parental imagination

2. Large age gap between Louisa and Caroline, someone had to be named after dad. Charles was a late-in-life surprise

3. They’re twins

4. Bingley family were Jacobites, it’s tradition

5. Caroline wanted the baby to be named after her, parents too indulgent to refuse

6. Caroline wanted the baby to be named after her, and was so insistent about calling her baby brother Charles that he eventually refused to respond to the name his parents picked, which was actually George

7. Charles renamed himself after Caroline, because ‘Richard’ just didn’t suit him

8. Charles Bingley senior named all his children after himself, George Foreman-style. Louisa’s real name is Charlotte. She was called Lottie until age twelve, when she rocked up to boarding school and introduced herself as Louisa.

i actually never ever want AO3 to be censored bc nothing is more fun than reading the tags on a fic and going “huh. didn’t know there was a market for that.”
