Dear jerk in an obnoxious pick-up truck,
I was not in the bike lane because it was blocked for road work. There was no need to yell at me. How about just assuming I know what I'm doing and remembering people on bikes are totally allowed to use the road?

Shana Tova to all my Jewish beloveds

I see you and I cherish you and I am grateful you exist here in this world, and I am holding you in my heart with so many blessings and good wishes for a sweet new year

How about we start by not referring to human beings who are being terrorized by the state as "illegals"?

Summer is by FAR my least favorite season so Iโ€™m excited to welcome Fall today! ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ Still masking because while short shorts, depression, & strawberries may be seasonal, COVID isnโ€™t. Every reinfection exacerbates health outcomes & weโ€™re not out of the woods yet w/ this pandemic.

Today marks 10 years since Nathalie, Anastasia and Carol were murdered by a man they had rejected.

The misogynist was responsible for his actions but he was enabled by huge, massive system failures.

Please honour their memories today by reading the inquest report : www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum.

This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Without hope and joy, what are we even fighting for? How can we know what it is that we want to build?

Im surprised that people are surprised as to why thereโ€™s a huge political gender divide that we see today.
I got an answer: women gained power, men felt threatened that their place on top of the hierarchy and the intrinsic power that came with it is gone
The reason there is more racism is the same

Men are also angry that theyโ€™re need us whereas we donโ€™t necessarily need them. Thatโ€™s the root of their sexual frustrationโ€”our ability to say โ€œnoโ€
Whenever you ask young men what frustrates them it starts with not getting women.
Women, we live rent-free in these menโ€™s heads 24/7

Dude. They're currently celebrating a guy who said that LGBTQ+ people should be stoned to death.

If anything, the problem is that there haven't been enough social consequences for that. You can be a bigot or you can have friends - pick one.

Plus, cars don't spend money in businesses. People do. And the $10,000+ I'm not spending on a car annually is money I can spend on other things.

What of the people who cannot use cars?

The simple solution to this one situation is to add a crosswalk so the residents of the nursing home have access to the Tim's. Otherwise, they're either stuck in the home or making a potentially dangerous crossing.

Cutting the baby in half: I think regular people arenโ€™t using X, The Everything App as much anymore, but elites still are. When they talk about winning the battles of persuasion, theyโ€™re talking about the battles to persuade them, not the general population. In that way, the right wing is winning.

I'm curious what they mean by "MAID is safe." What does safe mean in this context?

Overall, I support MAID. Also, there are some totally reasonable concerns, particularly around reports of medical staff suggesting MAID to those with disabilities.

Aaaand Steve Martin has covid and has had to cancel part his tour with Martin Short. He is 80 years old.

This is a stupid way to live and we donโ€™t need to keep doing it like this.

Why Washington Post fired me Read the official termination letter for yourself.

New from me:

There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo.

Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post.

Read and judge for yourself.

You know how you can get pay parking validated at a store? You oughta be able to get transit fares from a transit fare card validated (i.e. refunded) in the same way
