It's so great for kids! We took the REM on opening weekend with my brother's family and loved seeing my kid with her cousins staring out the window together.

Canadian white nationalist are on our streets. Stay safe, y’all.

50-ish yr old white guy biking on Danforth was yelling slurs and telling bike couriers to “go back where you came from.” Told him to stop, he yelled at me, then cycled back to me, my partner, and kid and yelled a stream of things I hope my kid doesn’t remember. East York, do we know this guy?

True, but I’m torn because these articles are the only way we’ll get Belt & Road high speed trains in Canada

Bought a mini stereo for the family room and our kiddo can pick her fave CDs and it’s been awesome. That sense of control is empowering.

Trying to conceive of the level of hatred it takes to use Trump’s proposal to complete the ethnic cleansing of Gaza to scold Palestinians and their allies for not enthusiastically endorsing the administration that made it possible.

Disney+ Lost 700,000 Subscribers to Close Out 2024 Regular price hikes and the end of password sharing might be having some affect.

Chicago Teachers Have an Ally As Mayor—Now They’re Fighting for a Historic Contract The Chicago Teachers Union is working to use its newfound political power to win a broad set of “common good” demands while realizing a vision of world-class public education.
