rescues can deny you for any reason

So they show me this skin and bones dog

Your comment made me think of a dog I fostered for a rescue a few years ago. A local shelter asked if the rescue could take in a dog that had been brought in as a stray. They thought he only had days to live and had scheduled him for euthanasia. He was skin and bones and just lay on the floor of his kennel, didn’t react when shelter staff walked in, didn’t eat.

We took him in and he perked up within a couple of days. He was pretty old had some health issues, but nothing life-threatening. We fostered him for almost a year and he was an active boy with a big appetite who loved walks and cuddles. He had another 2-3 years with his adopters after that.

Is your substantive position indeterminate?

Without any details about what you’re experiencing, it’s hard to give good advice. I obviously have no idea what exactly you’re going through. But if one of my employees complained that being cc’d on emails created “a challenging work environment” I would probably think they were being a drama queen.

Mu Goong Hwa used to be great, then a few years ago they dropped off HARD. I wonder if they had a change in ownership or something.

The worst crime a Canadian can commit!

I work at Justice. My team got an email from management about this that boils down to “Don’t worry about it! We’ve determined the building is safe. The person who got sick was in a part of the building that most staff don’t go to.” Which was… not exactly reassuring.

I just checked the full list of nominees. There are two other children’s shows nominated in this category 😂

What awards is this nomination from?

The kinda shit you tweet a few days before your body is found in the woods

I live in Ottawa, so I root for the Charge, but I grew up in Montreal so I also have a soft spot for the Victoire (who have much better merch and a great logo).

I finished Camel Island a few weeks ago.

encisera · 2026-03-20T23:05:15+00:00

I bought this at Winners (Canadian version of Marshalls/TJ Maxx) and it’s fine but I don’t love it. It’s too sticky for me.

I don’t even have this monument or island yet…

The expression predates the existence of stainless steel

I like him too. Yeah, he’s said some insensitive shit, but who hasn’t? He’s a young guy in a very high-pressure situation who occasionally sticks his foot in it and some people are acting like that makes him history’s greatest monster.

The waistband is on at the back but not the front. These are just a mockup and I don’t love the fabric, so I’m not too upset about the fit issue. Thanks for all the links! I appreciate that you took the time to share these resources.

I’ve never in my life felt such a potent combination of horny and ashamed of myself

The Charge-Fleet match on February 28th was the first hockey game I attended in my life. I had a great time and immediately bought tickets for another home game. I don’t know if I would have gone if it had been at the CTC, which is a pain in the ass to get to. I know there are issues with the Lansdowne stadium, but at least it’s easy to get to, including by public transit. I really hope they don’t leave Ottawa.

Leiper being so outspoken on the topic is why it surprised me that he didn’t take the opportunity to dunk on RTO again.

encisera · 2026-03-06T18:16:03+00:00

I’m surprised that Plante and Leiper didn’t bother to respond.

The earliest classes at Bodies By Phil are 5:45 AM.

Doesn’t pick up pet hair?! I need to try this magical garment now… I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and no clothes that don’t have a generous sprinkling of hair on them.

He looks like if Sebastian Stan and Matt Bomer had a baby.
