Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.

Apparently it was the show This Hour has 22 Minutes that filmed a segment at the Halifax Pier as the cruise passengers got off with this guy greeting them. Hilarious and a nice poke at you know who.

Silhouetted remains of the High Court Banksy

Oh man - so sad - how the hell do you check on their emerging literacy skills if you don’t read together - helping them with the decoding, checking for comprehension, sharing emotional responses to what is going on in the story - crucial for parents to model what fluent readers do. With voices!

Passive voice - refuge for the mealy mouthed and those who look to shift responsibility from themselves.

This is a wonderful piece that shows the absolute courage of this girl and her family and team. The viciousness of anti trans hate, particularly from Christian organization is astounding. Thank you @brucearthur.bsky.social for not being a bystander to hate and bullying.

I’m sorry but I don’t remember. Now that you mention it, I just screen grabbed it and gave no attribution - probably not a cool thing to do.

Went to a Liberal rally tonight. Heard prime minister Carney speak. He is very human and funny in his stump speech. The last liberal rally I attended was for Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Kinda dates me. I’ve mostly voted NDP in the interim but not this time. #elbowsup.

Not the first time I've said it, but I do think we should sit with the fact that the folks likeliest to have predicted we'd elect a reality TV president who'd create a fascist police state where people would be put into unmarked vans for criticizing Israel have been widely ridiculed my entire life.

The face of evil right out in the open. Human trafficking like delivering “stuff”. Human beings reduced to … I have no words. This is monumentally terrifying.

I had 10 accounts from Turkey follow me in the last 39 seconds - they looked like porn or spam or both - anyway I can prevent this? I have blocked them all.

Is anyone else still enraged from watching CBC Katie Simpson interview of people in Tennessee last night? Their casual indifference to & lack of empathy for Canada & the chaos caused by their country to ours. Also their blindness to the rushing slide to authoritarianism in their country. #elbowsup

Thank you - I suspect the worst too. We have seen that POTUS is a Russian asset. Not beyond the realm of possibility that it has happened here.
