Canadians understand this. Why doesn’t Canada’s national broadcaster? #CBC #Canada #CanadaSky #cdnpoli #CrossCountryFuckUp 🇨🇦

Someday we're hoping to get a slow motion video of Babs with her hair blowing back in the wind like an 80s music video.

"People can do their fact-checking online after the program" is NOT HOW FACT CHECKING WORKS

Just saw a thread about a guy calling into cspan saying his diabetic supplies increased from 5 dollars to 80 dollars and somebody in the comments, probably multiple people but I stopped reading, replied “FAFO” and I can’t stress enough how much you need to stop doing that shit

I had a talk with someone earlier who very proudly informed me that they read only nonfiction. When I inquired why (dear God why), they simply said "I like my reading to teach me about the world." I laughed. All the facts in all the books in all the world cannot teach you any of what fiction does.

this morning i was telling my dad i was scared for the upcoming canadian election, scared pollievre would win and that the lgbtq are going to begin losing their rights now that what trump is doing is opening the door to bigots. he said he "guessed he didn't care since it didn't impact him".

Ok here you go. Here's what I wrote to the CBC Ombudsman. - As an award-winning Canadian journalist, I am writing to express my profound disappointment regarding the upcoming radio program hosted by Ian Hanomansing, which aims to discuss the idea of Canada becoming the USA's 51st state. 1/

A good day for a reminder that independent media needs your support

you watch ONE MOVIE where they show fairies as the scary ass monsters they are and suddenly your wife’s tryna veto Ireland as a country to flee to smh like HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU the fae are everywhere, y’all thinking they’re CUTE just means you bought into their propaganda SORRY

chat is it good for a dictionary to be mad at you

CBC can be so embarrassing “Should Canada become the 51st state? Here’s some of the cast of Dragon’s Den”

when the weather gets cold does anyone else's nose just perpetually start to hurt, dry out, and bleed until spring hits again? ooooor just me?

Hemingway, evergreen

a haunted house, but it's just a bunch of zombies popping out and asking "how's your writing coming along?" "what's your book about?" "what if this writing thing doesn't work out?"

I’m not doomscrolling I’m just desperately sucking the marrow from the bones of hope

Embroidery #2 for 2025, complete!

Books are so fun omg you guys should try them

i haven't been on here in a while because life sometimes deals you cards that are hard to manage but you get back up and you keep going. so, this is me getting back up and continuing on.

Can you feel that? That's the dystopia.

Can’t believe the knives are already out in the stores. The Ides of March gets more commercialized every year.

I'm at the point in my life where if I'm not currently in bed, I'm currently thinking about being in one.

just a reminder to my fellow 🇨🇦 that we are entering a pivotal time rn and have a choice in who leads the liberal party next. if you want a say in that choice register as a member of the party by jan. 27th and vote for who will lead it next. let's have a say in where we go from here.

i have been MIA for a hot minute so hi 2025 and 253 ppl in my phone 👋🏻

sometimes i find myself on chronic illness instagram or threads or bluesky for the solidarity. and it goes one of two ways: i feel that solidarity or i become a little black storm cloud when i realize just what my reality looks like sometimes. (today's a storm cloud night. ⛈️ whelp.)

Am I a snowman? ぼく、雪だるま?

...hello, noodle 🥺

Good morning, Bluesky Friends! 🗽💙 🌊

Another beautiful winter afternoon so I went snowshoeing. Ice fog left behind a winter wonderland and there were some great tree-toppers to behold #birds 🌿

“Wound Man” is an illustration which first appeared in European surgical texts during the Middle Ages. It laid out schematically the various wounds a person might suffer in battle or in accidents, with accompanying text stating treatments. Tag yourself as a wound ahead of the holidays!

If you’re a cishet male who’s triggered by women asking you NOT to yell “not all men” at them… please consider the role you might be playing in misogynistic rape culture. If your response to women sharing sexual assault statistics or stories of rape is any one of the following - stop & listen 🧵

Something you can do is check in with your friends who are parents of trans kids. See if they’re ok. (They’re not) Then let them know you’ll help defend and protect their children with whatever tools and resources are available to you.

my wife and i watched die hard for the first time today (don't @ us) because it's a christmas movie, you know. #christmas #diehard #happyholidays

hard to believe how good she is tbh

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

i had an absolutely lovely day today with my mum and i'm basking in gratitude for such a nice day. we're both aquarius, sometimes we butt heads. but today was a really good day. 🎄🫶🏻
