Autumn in Temagami
George Reid
1930

‪October is only supposed to be PRETEND scary.‬

I was so naive.

This is EXCELLENT.

1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome.

2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.

It's brave to try.

Things aren't good. Now is the time to try lots of different things.

genius actually

Hey Gen X, the baby from 'Papa Don't Preach' would be 39 this year.

The Depth (Algoma)

Suffering in Gaza is ‘unimaginable,’ Canada and 23 other countries say in statement urging unrestricted aid The foreign ministers from Britain, Canada, Australia and other countries said urgent action is needed ‘to halt and reverse starvation’

These statements are empty. There are tools we could be using - sanctions, suspending our trade agreement - that would actually make a concrete difference. Yes, it will make our trade negotiations with the US worse, but it's a sacrifice we'll have to make if we're to lead with moral clarity.

‘I can’t tell anyone. Nobody would believe me’

bc I'm having a hard time today, I opened up a meditation from a teacher I love, Ralph De La Rosa, on my app. The meditation had a new subheading, "In memory of Ralph De La Rosa." He died in May. I'm so sad. I'm so sad.

Great - I'll keep my fingers crossed!

thanks - that gives me hope!

Really? Can they disappear for a year and then come back the next? Because I'm missing 2 butterfly milkweeds (both caged to protect from critters) and I'm so sad. (Or do you just mean that they come up late in the season?)

whaa

That's awesome! (All of it)

Cereal cupboard with 3 opened boxes of Shreddies, on top of which sits a mostly empty bag of Shreddies, rolled and sealed with a chip clip.

Yeah this is how we like to do it around here

So this is what the truth sounds like.

I'm currently getting more emails and phone calls from constituents about #Bill5 than any other issue. They're angry & concerned about the threat to our environment & to democracy in the province. Bill 5 will erode government accountability & transparency. #onpoli

People who try to live inconspicuously in the woods near my house come home to find their tents and belongings strewn about along the walking path. Homeowners in my area take it upon themselves to do this (in the name of "safety", I guess?) Where tf do these vigilantes expect people to go?

saying "well my heart's in the right place" if there's too long of a silence after something I said in a group setting

Make Canada's voting system fair and proportional! Canadians are tired of our broken voting system. After Trudeau broke his promise of reforming our electoral system in 2015, apathy and cynicism towards our democracy has grown. If Canada is to weath...

Wouldn't it be nice?

Side by side, 2 almost identical close-up photos of a mushroom on a black background. I don't know enough about mushrooms to describe it properly, but it looks like it has many small parasol-like caps instead of one large cap, and they're attached to a long, yellowish stem. The way it is lit on the black background, it appears almost to be glowing.

my dad took these stereoscopic photos of a mushroom but he can't figure out what kind of mushroom it is. @lukelukeluke.bsky.social can you help?

that's very odd.
