  • Congratulations you’re experiencing burnout and/or depression!

    You can look forward to such exciting prospects as society telling you to just “feel better” and gaslighting yourself into thinking you’re just lazy!

    But wait there’s more! If you act right now you can also experience self loathing for not being you’re best self for your loved ones!

    In all seriousness help is available. Take time to reconnect with yourself and seek out resources. Lean on your friends when you need to. Healing is a process and it doesn’t happen all at once.




  • Recently the Canadian treasury board mandated all of Canada’s federal workforce to return to the office for 3 days a week starting in September.

    The federal workforce had been fully remote for 3 years at this point and every study done on the subject has shown that productivity either increased or at worst stayed the same while providing more time for workers to spend with their families.

    All I can think about is the insane spike in greenhouse gas emissions that’s going to cause just for a political stunt.









  • This would be a good solution if they were accessible. However where I live EVS cost too much for anyone unless you are far out stripping the median income, as an example the last comprehensive study put Atlantic Canada where I live at a median income of $32,175, even the cheapest electric cars run ~$55,000, used EVS exist and are more affordably priced but often need expensive battery replacements, and are an extremely short supply.

    Municipal policy makes bikes share the road, with most of the interconnecting roads being strodes which makes biking just suicide with extra steps, I actually did try to ride a bike but a few too many close calls made me stop.

    I used the bus here for 7 years while I went to school, however as a means of transportation for employment it is just a non-option, it is neither widespread enough, nor does it run often enough.

    I’m not trying to shoot down solutions just after being in the situation for so long ICE cars are the only accessible and dependable mode of transportation in this city. And believe me I have been trying my hardest to find alternative ways and to fight the battle for better transit but as of right now I can guarantee you that all it has done is add thousands of ICE cars to the road.
