I’m Canadian.

Thank you for saying this. I genuinely would never not take someone’s cultural practices and religion seriously. I just really like what it symbolizes to me.

Thank you. I just felt a little silly.

My tattoo is very well designed, but it is a lotus flower with the Om symbol in it because at the time I was practicing a lot of yoga, and I didn’t realize it looks kind of… culturally foolish, shall we say, especially now that I live in a city with a lot of South Asian folks, and some have asked me about it, I am white as the driven snow. I did not intend it in any cultural appropriation way and it isn’t offensive or anything, they all seem to like it, but it was a bit thoughtless ultimately.

Oh amazing! Please tell me how the book is too.

I was talking to a new friend who is a nurse yesterday, and she told me she worked in peds a bit last year during a measles outbreak in my city, during which one child died. She said she has never seen sicker children in her life, they were all unvaccinated, and that they all went home having lost so much ground. She says half the parents were just victims of disinformation but that many of them were super obnoxious.

Who here knows what O.o means?

Missouri of all places!

I hadn’t listened to him be interviewed before until yesterday, and I was pleased to hear that he’s quick on his feet and confident and sounds very knowledgeable. My ex said about him that nobody wants a policy wonk for PM, but so far it works.

Excellent point. I agree, it can’t be considered safe. Think of what viruses are going to rip through livestock populations there now.

One thing I hope this government does is go after weaponized disinformation. Force these shitty social media CEOs to moderate their content. Fuck Zuckface and Space Karen so hard.

When I lived in a townhouse condo property the conservatives used to just come and stick a bunch of their signs on the edge of the property without anyone asking for them to put them there. My spouse used to go yank them out and put them in the garbage.

Best wishes to you wherever you are headed. I imagine soon the sane countries will offer queer people asylum.

Why did you do it? Let’s start there. Please unpack.

A doctor I worked with said I’m a force of nature.

Vegan. Almost four years now and it’s the best thing I ever did for myself.

I don’t care what anyone’s faith is and wish everyone well, but I can’t lie, I think Ramadan sounds awful. Not drinking water is not normal.

I’m Canadian so I got rid of everything save for our streaming platforms, Crave and Gem. Not giving the US money anymore.

That was HILARIOUS. I think he tried to be funny once and sing a Doris Day song in response. 22 Minutes is absolutely brilliant.

I met Stockwell once. He just ordered a coffee from me at work, I had an urge to do what that other protestor did with the chocolate milk.

This is sad. He has his flaws but he seems like a really peace loving guy with a genuine commitment to making a difference in the world.
