I often work with folks who are changing jobs, or considering a change.

It's a fertile time to reflect & design a way forward, to get more of what you want & need.

But also: finances may be precarious. So I offer to customise your payment schedule, to match your situation. 

Start here: a free hour of coaching! You can see what coaching with me is like, no pressure to continue. 1 hour may be all you need!

I'd love to help you find more joy:

Photographers, printmakers:
I have simple tools for making polaroid transfers (standard film pack size). In Toronto. Yours if you'll pick it up or pay shipping. Ping me for photos. I may even have instructions from the course I took.
Please share with folks who might be interested!

Interesting, looking back:
watching Star Trek First Contact, and the first 6 actor credits are men; then Gates McFadden & Marina Sirtis.

Perhaps those first six actors are highest paid, "most popular" or have agents that negotiate better … but it makes me ask some questions. About the "Hollywood system", about inequality in # of lines by gender, and in pay.

That was 30 years ago. But a 2016 analysis of 2000 scripts (2 million lines) showed # lines by gender is still drastically unbalanced.

"The general rule of thumb for urban roads is that a 1mph reduction in avg speeds will result in a 6% reduction in casualties (Taylor, Lynam & Baruya, 2000 for you nerds). That’s because in the speed range of 20mph to 30mph any reduction both increases the ability of the parties involved in an incident to avoid a crash and the resulting severity of any injuries."

"Many don’t know that I’m an artist. … I had a few jobs: seamstress, waitress, … sculptor. I attended OCAD U, & had my own studio! As mayor, the arts remain important to me …

They are not only about expression, emotion, culture … We can combat loneliness, & improve mental health.

… I’m so proud of our new campaign, [hilighting] the power of the arts to bring ppl together, foster cultural understanding, & strengthen the social fabric of our city."

#Toronto new police phone #

Toronto police launch new ​3-digit number for non-emergency calls (to reduce unnecessary 911 calls).

Put this in your phone!

Mobile customers on the networks of Rogers, Bell, TELUS, Freedom Mobile and their subsidiaries will be able to dial *877 to reach the Toronto Police Service’s non-emergency line.

(However, anyone calling from a landline should continue to dial (416) 808-2222 to reach its non-emergency line.)

"… people fall for ChatGPT because … users see what they want to see in it.

… The same things people look for in a fortune teller. … looking for answers. Maybe they just suffered a loss, like the death of a loved one. Maybe they’re struggling with an unhappy marriage. Maybe they’re just curious and they want to be open-minded about the possibility of mystical divination.

When you look at the cases of ChatGPT psychosis, many of them follow these patterns."
