Fight Club or Natural Born Killers- I have already fallen asleep to them many times. I know the dialogue so well it’s all background noise.

Snake plant, spider plant, and one I call elephant ear (but I know it’s not the right name…just blanking on what it’s really called). Luckily she’s stopped getting into our plants as much! 😂 I know the plants are toxic to cats too.

Finally watched Zohran Mamdani's victory speech and I almost fuckin cried. I got real goosebumps. This is what we need.

Stop listening to the loudest and most out-of-touch pundits screaming about moving to the centre. Be bold and unrelenting in caring about each other.

TURN THE VOLUME UP!

Ooof…going through some stuff, and this resonates 😮‍💨

When a nation chooses to let children go hungry, that nation has lost its way.

I really hope so! Something has to change soon!

Ok this is a spooky Halloween moment:

The Toronto Star’s Susan Delacourt (who I admire!) published a SUPER similar piece literally within MINUTES of mine today.

We literally used the same examples!And had no way of knowing about each other’s work!!

WHAT DOES THIS MEANNNNNN!!!!! 👻🎃

A person holds a smartphone while text overlays the image. The heading reads: “PAUSE, VERIFY, AND SHARE responsibly.” Below are four tips in white boxes with red checkmark icons: Pause before reacting – Headlines and posts are designed to grab attention—read the full article or thread before forming an opinion. Check the source – Is it reputable? Does it cite evidence? Be wary of sensationalism and anonymous accounts. Diversify your feed – Follow a range of outlets and voices to get a fuller picture. Fact-check before sharing – Misinformation spreads fast—be part of the solution. At the bottom, the name “Mark Gerretsen” appears with a maple leaf icon.

In today’s fast-moving world, it’s harder than ever to sort 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙩 from 𝙣𝙤𝙞𝙨𝙚.

As someone who wants to be up to date, I know how important it is to pause, check, and think before posting or sharing news content.

💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

bragging about how much gold you’re putting in the oval office while all the economic lights on the dashboard are starting to flash red and the government is about to shut down is some shit that would make the marie antoinette caricature wince

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

And this is why we need to protect our CBC!

If Michael Moore got assassinated in 2004, I don’t think you’d see any red state governors lowering the flag for him

The asymmetry of American politics

A student is dead after shooting 2 teens at his Colorado high school and then himself The handgun shooting was reported around 12:30 p.m. at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colorado, about 30 miles west of Denver.

This shooting took place yesterday as well. I guess since these kids aren’t friends of the Orange One, all they’ll get are thoughts and prayers. 😔💔

Dave Portnoy tweet saying ‘absolutely disgusting and disturbing video from Charlie Kirk shooting today. Hoping for the best for him and his family. Anybody who is happy about this is a disgusting human.’

Pop Crave Tweet: ‘Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy says he hopes a missile hits Greta Thunberg’s boat as she sails away with aid: “I hope they hit a f*cking, like, a missile on her boat. Knock that boat down. Greta or whatever her name is”

This explains it better than I can

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs.

We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.

What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

“They’re taking our jobs” was always a lie. Alabama proved it.

Alabama tried a “tough” immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldn’t last a day.

They’re not taking your jobs; they’re doing the jobs you won’t do.

The greatest generation did too good a job eliminating fascism and disease and now that they’re all but gone we’re about to learn the stove is hot by touching it all over again

I wish everyone in Saskatchewan understood that the amount of money being budgeted to stick it to the federal liberals by in investing in coal plants that are simply leading to climate change and should be phased out is ALSO the same amount as the budget for one year of all of healthcare.

My favourite part of this summer has been not seeing Pierre Poilievre on tv/in my socials as much. Fingers crossed for today’s by-election 🤞
