Happy Hallowe'en friends!
On this day in 1933 my Slovakian great grandma was 3 days into her Canadian immigration journey and saw trick or treaters out the window of a train when it stopped in Winnipeg.
She got very scared and thought Canada was a spooky, weird place!

Holy Smokes. Ireland just elected a left-leaning female president and she's awesome!
A former psychologist, former barrister, former competitive badminton player, ran so many marathons she lost count, and comes from a family of 14 siblings raised by a single father. ๐ซฃ ๐ฎ๐ช

An ink drawing of three anthropomorphic cats. One hangs onto a rope with both paws, just able to keep its chin above the rope. Two other cats, however, on either side of the cat are giving it a boost. All the cats are smiling suggesting friendliness and joy. Large text at top reads "Hang in there, comrade!," a play on the popular "hang in there, baby" cat poster of the 1970's.
"Hang in there, comrade!" I don't regret playing on the "Hang in there, baby" poster for today's #inktober #inktober2025 #RedInktober

Two pictures of swans with cygnets on a lake, and a poem.
Title:
Seven reasons not to eat swans.
An immigrantโs poem.
Poem text:
Swans, we know, are hard to snatch,
much too big for hand-held nets.
Thatโs why we as immigrants
would rather catch some sun than swans.
Swans, notoriously vicious,
do not make for tasty dishes.
Thatโs why we as immigrants
choose eating mushrooms over swans.
Swans look well after their young,
teach them, carry them along.
Thatโs why we as immigrants
like right-wingers far less than swans.
When a swan acts like an anus,
itโs not planned; not truly heinous.
Thatโs why we as immigrants
choose fighting fascists over swans.
Swans give nature their full backing,
donโt dump rubbish, donโt do fracking.
Thatโs why we as immigrants
hate Reform UK more than swans.
Swans believe in right of movement,
see open borders as improvement.
Thatโs why we as immigrants
would never think of killing swans.
Swans donโt engage in punching down,
unlike Reform UKโs chief clown.
Thatโs why we as immigrants
might punch Farage, but not hurt swans.

Canadaโs Parliament just gave Charlie Kirk a standing ovation.
You can oppose political violence without rewriting the legacy of a man who did a lot of harm to vulnerable and marginalized communities.
But Canadaโs politicians, some media and many employers donโt seem to entirely understand that:

It's breathtaking to watch autocrats weaponize the civil rights movement on behalf of the putative safety of Jews in order to send people who are opposing genocide to literal death camps - and Jews who oppose this are labelled terrorist sympathizers.

Poilievre pledges to use notwithstanding clause to allow longer sentences for multiple murderers
Legal experts criticized the Conservative Leaderโs proposal to revive a law that permitted judges to stack parole waiting periods
Michael Spratt, an Ottawa criminal-defence lawyer, pilloried the proposal and said that all of Mr. Poilievreโs criminal justice policies โrip upโ the Constitution.โฉโThat is just unbecoming of a leader, unbecoming of a serious politician โฆ,โ he said.

Art Nouveau-style poster featuring a cute, plump rabbit. He is wearing a straw hat and carrying a scythe with a drop of blood dripping from it. The text reads โWe're coming for you and your friends, so flee, bourgeois, fleeโ.
Flee bourgeois, flee!
A new Art Nouveau visual, fresh off the tablet. Soon available as prints and free downloads if you feel like it.

How was popcorn discovered? An archaeologist on its likely appeal for people in the Americas millennia ago
Corn has its roots in Mexico about 9,000 years ago.
A good guess for the origin of popcorn is that drying corn began as a useful way of preserving and storing food.
And then one day some fell into the cooking fire ๐ฝ๐ฅ
