Check the map Find your protest RESIST Like your lives depend on it The single most important thing we can do today is protest. Visible protest. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/

Girlies, fess up, how many of you changed your group chat name to “War Plans”?

Okay, this is my newest very very favorite meme.

Imagine buying a cybertruck

Phone just autocorrected “tis” to “it’s” for me. But no, I wanted to sound olde tyme!

It’s so upsetting what’s happening, and here’s the kicker: “thousands of people still trapped in a system that profits from their suffering.”

Some days, morning exercise is invigorating. And others it’s like phew I worked out, surely nothing else can be expected of me today.

My kids are never more Canadian than when they order pancakes/waffles abroad and express their horror and dismay at the not-real-maple syrup served alongside. And they can always, always tell.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Hey everyone -- Moms of Liberty and Dept of Education launched a snitch line portal today to rat out teachers and anyone promoting anything DEI. FLOOD THE PORTAL Spam the hell out of it. Pass it on! It works! enddei.ed.gov

It’s actually extremely liberating to realize that you don’t need to always be shopping. You probably don’t need that stuff!

Don't buy shit, write your book

The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach. www.tsunami.gov

Lol John Oliver set up a how-to guide for how to make Meta make less ad $$$ from you. johnoliverwantsyourraterotica.com

The CBC is an integral part of the Canadian media landscape. It needs to be protected and funded!

A simple chart to explain why Elon Musk spent $290 million to buy the election for Trump so he could take control of the government. It's not about cutting waste. It's about killing investigations.

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

Every Canadian is pulling on a Roots hoodie, slapping on Cheekbone red lipstick and slamming down a McCain Deep n’ Delicious cake.

Unsubscribing from marketing emails from US brands.

Bonded in the grocery store with some neighbours over trying to find non-US products. An employee double-checked for us, and we all went home with Mexican broccoli. (It was obvi not Canadian because February.)

TikTok took it down, so let’s share the shit out of this reading list. #HolocaustRemembranceDay #NeverAgainIsNow #BookSky #StateMediaCensorship

If someone chooses to live in a smaller home in the inner city in part to avoid a long commute, they generally don’t pressure society to build them a bigger house with more stuff. So if you choose a bigger stuff-filled house in the suburbs, don’t expect society to build you a fast car commute.

Well, I finally deactivated my inactive-since-it-was-still Twitter account this morning, and now I want to deactivate it all over again but even harder and more emphatically. Fuck that guy.

Don’t forget to unfollow POTUS on all platforms today.

We're making all your websites shitty and evil. What are you gonna do, log off and spend time with your family

I love how obsessed everyone is with the Canadian water bombers. We saw one at the air show last summer and they are so cool, and the pilots are so skilled. Love seeing them in action.

“Every $1,300 New York invested in building bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 additional year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents, according to a new economic assessment.” Bike-lanes are a sound public health investment. www.reuters.com/article/busi...

My partner: You’ll be glad to know you were right. Me: ‘Kay Him: Don’t you want to know what about? Me: well, it’s everything, but feel free to share the specifics of this instance. 😘

SIMPLY HAVING A

The tween held a sleepover and now the whole house smells like various sugary vanilla perfumes.

Dune has the same plot as the Westminster Dog Show: After generations of careful breeding, we have produced this perfect little freak of nature and now it has behavioral issues

I might just be an asshole who did French Immersion but TikTok is exposing me to a lot of people who pronounce “croissant” in a way I really don’t like.

My daughter and I watched Fellowship of the Ring tonight, and the energy I’m taking in to 2024 is “Let us hunt some orc.”

I just connected my old-ass printer to the new wifi network, so I’m basically a genius; NASA is going to call any minute.

This morning’s important googling.

About to go see the Eras Tour movie in a theatre packed with all-star cheerleaders and cheer moms. Only thing I know for sure: there will be glitter and screaming.

Okay here I am, basically trying to re-curate and recreate the ol’ bird app experience.
