Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

Today is election day. If you have not voted yet, go out and vote, no matter who you support. In our first election in 1867, only about 11% of adults could vote due to property, gender and race restrictions. Now nearly every adult can vote. So go out and do it!

🚨 Ontario’s latest attack on environmental safeguards could drive endangered species to extinction. 🚨 Bill 5, which would scrap the Endangered Species Act, sidelines science & oversight to hand power to politicians & developers, putting 270+ endangered species & their habitats at even more risk.

WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand just how lazy, moronic & dishonest Trump’s “math” is, that he claims is the basis for his “reciprocal tariffs” on nations all over the world (spoiler: they aren’t reciprocal), please watch this excellent CBC explanation by Andrew Chang. Then please share it.

Andrew Chang is amazing. Clear and concise. Listen to the end. He doesn't understand what "logic" defines the 10% tariffs. It's simple. Trump's greed.
