My life changed a lot this year so here's a new #introduction
Hi I'm Nicolas an immigrant to Canada from France.
For the last 10 years I was a UX Designer at various companies in tiotiáh:ke (#Montreal).
This year I left all that behind to pursue my dream of being a #pilot and I am currently in a program to get all the required licenses.
I now live in unceded Mi’kma’ki territory (#Moncton) with my cat Spot and post mostly about my #studies and my #cat

The December 6th murders at the École Polytechnique were explicitly motivated by hatred and fear of women, and resentment of women's success. In recent years Canada has seen several more incel attacks, some specifically inspired by the École Polytechnique tragedy. It's easy for the women who died to become a number or even a political football. Hope the brief bios above - very little is known about them - will help counteract that.

For those who don't know, Bookwyrm is basically a better, federated Goodreads. Because it speaks ActivityPub, you can subscribe to someone's Bookwyrm feed from directly in Mastodon and see the book reviews they post!
Also there are 2 spots remaining in the Bookwyrm patreon to pay $40/mo and support the project in a huge way *and* have @tripofmice run a server for you and 50 of your bookwormiest friends: https://www.patreon.com/bookwyrm
Looking forward to Verizon buying Twitter for 25% of the price then turning around and basically giving it to Automattic.

asking for music reco, boost ok
Is there any band out there whose genre could be described as "Enter Sandman - Metallica"?
Because I'm pretty sure I'd love to hear and pay for that!

I was thinking about the "Baseline" scene from Blade Runner 2049 the other day and idly tried to search for a transcript of it, and immediately fell down a rabbit hole learning
1. The script for that scene was written by Ryan Gosling
2. The test itself is fundamentally based on an actor's exercise Ryan Gosling had been trained in invented by a Massachusetts Shakespeare company
I wrote a blog post on Cohost about "Dropping In" and the ins and outs of how this happened:
Hot take
Also, if a company with "bank" or "investment" or "realty" or even just "firm" in their name wants you to consult, charge them 2x your normal rate. And if they have more than one of those, add 50% to your rate for each word.
If you have sick days at your job, take them.
Things can wait.
Do y'all have any good e-reader to recommend?
I'm mostly ignorant of the e-reader world, I just know the brand names Kindle and Kobo.
Can you borrow ebooks from your local library? Can all e-reader do that or do you need something special?
Debate shit take
Debate class does not exists in other countries, and (and least in France) debate is not to be won.
Actually trying to win a debate is seen as an hostile approach to conversation and a technique of the far-right and nazis
Debate shit take
My shit take about "always trying to make online debate better" is that Americans go to school and have "debate class" that teaches debate as a thing and a competition.
This American tradition guides all the approches to "online debate" because tech is so US heavy and is the core of the problem.
looking for pen
The pen arrived 😊
It's far lighter than I expected but the click is really satisfying!
looking for pen
For some reason this pen from an Austin based company is shipping from the Netherlands. The package may take a while.
looking for pen
I've been eyeing this one https://www.studioneat.com/products/markone but the fact that it's perfectly round seems like a major problem!
looking for pen
Hey Camp,
Do you have very-good-pen to recommend? Ideally a metal body, rechargeable, ball-point.
I'd like to buy myself a nice, pleasing pen as a treat.

Covid19 vaccine availability
Patent-free vaccine released to the world--interesting how mainstream media didn't cover this.
