Chuck has good things to say about IRON LUNG

I also saw it on the weekend and thought it was a really fun little horror movie. All the best parts of a bottle episode + so much fake blood. And while there's a hefty dose of "wtf am I watching" (pos) the beats all still really landed for me!

Canada is now the first non-European country to be granted a membership in SAFE. This is a gamechanger program that means Canada can rearm our Canadian Armed Forces members more effectively and scale up our defence industries with more contracts overseas.

And Canadian Public Lending Rights time. Same message. Ask your library to add our books to their collection. Libraries are happy to know what their readers want and writers are happy to put food on the table.

It’s UK Public Lending Right time again which means it’s time for my semi-regular reminder that spending your money on books is NOT the only way to support your favourite authors. We DO get paid when you take books out of the library. It’s free for you and good for authors and readers everywhere! πŸ“š

Glitter-bomb, rainbow-gradient meme in an aggressively cute β€œLisa Frank” vibe. A white unicorn with a rainbow mane floats at the top left; a blue dolphin (cropped) swims in at the top right, with a rainbow shooting-star streak across the top. In the center, a big white cloud-shaped bubble holds multicolored, rounded letters that read: β€œConservative men are deeply submissive to male authority figures.” The background is packed with sparkles, tiny stars, hearts, and flower stickers. At the bottom, pastel clouds and a small rainbow arch sit behind a rainbow-striped kitten with big eyes, wearing a pearl necklace with a pink heart pendantβ€”because apparently even political shade deserves maximum whimsy.

Screenshot from Ontario 511. All highways roughly west of Hamilton and Barrie showing grey on the map, which means a highway condition of "No Report" -- the contractor responsible for that area has not sent in a road conditions report within the last eight hours or so.

Love does not mean rolling over and showing your soft belly. Or hugs for everyone.

Love is a fire. Love is rage. That is love.

The Rodney King video is one of the most important moments in American history because it showed people, particularly comfortable white people, irrefutable evidence that marginalized people’s stories of how police behaved - which were never believed - were in fact true.
