Such a great day at Ontario's Best Butter Tart Festival with Lily and Emily. We also bumped into the in-laws and met up with my dad. All in all, a wonderful time.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍⚧️ We proudly stand with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community - this month and every month. We’re committed to fostering a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported for who they are. Let’s celebrate love, identity, and the power of inclusion. Together, we rise. 🌈💙

Mental Health in Motion participants followed a route that took them through the grounds of Discovery Harbour this morning. A little history, a little scenery and a little exercise — all in support of the inspiring work that happens every day at @waypointcentre.bsky.social.

I’m not sure I’ve ever laughed so hard…. Jesus, my sides are actually aching…. Fair warning — you wont be the same after watching this. youtube.com/watch?v=xvz4...

Canada still having a king is cringe. I never want to hear anything about any King of England unless he's doing something cool like fucking with the pope or dying from eating too many eels

I caught that, too. Nice moment.

Lay It On the Line. Fight the Good Fight. Never Surrender. Magic Power. Hold On. So many great songs. My favourite rock band of all time.

🌈 On International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, & Transphobia, we stand with the 2S-LGBTQIA+ community. Being yourself should never be a risk. Loving who you love should never be a crime. 🏳️‍🌈 Let’s raise our voices. 🏳️‍⚧️ Let’s break the silence. 💬 Let’s make space for every story.

Beautiful. Happy Mother’s Day to all the pillars supporting families everywhere.

Been waiting decades (yes, literally decades) for this movie. One of my favourite @stephenking.bsky.social stories. Always thought it would be fantastic on screen. youtu.be/6OtJWhh9luE

Brilliant suggestions in these posts. Just imagine the bellyaching about “lowball tactics” or “poor sportsmanship.” I can only hope Carney has this kind of bite in him.

This election campaign was the shortest allowed by law, and yet it seemed like it would never end. Maybe that’s because one party was so nasty and vacuous. Regardless, the sloganeering and mudslinging are over; now it’s your turn to do your part. VOTE! 🇨🇦 🗳️ ✔️ #ElectionDay

Work, relationships, and societal pressures can impact our mental health. This May, join Simcoe County’s top mental health org for free events—online and in person. Don’t miss Mental Health in Motion on May 31! Let’s take action together. www.mentalhealthmonth.ca

An underrated place to see in @en.ottawa.ca is Hog’s Back Park. We had a nice little stroll with the kids during a recent visit.

We have added a Métis sash & an Inuit Qulliq to our Spiritual Centre. A meaningful step in honoring Indigenous cultures. 🧣 With support from Georgian Bay Métis Council & Tungasuvvingat Inuit, these sacred symbols now shine in our multifaith centre. https://bit.ly/4jqEgKl

Nothing short of a family funeral would spur me to visit the U.S. for the foreseeable future — and even then I’d have to consider how close I really was to the dearly departed.

The final line of this article (“The Tyee reached out to the Conservative party for comments but did not receive a response prior to deadline”) pretty much says it all. Journalists represent the people. Snubbing reporters is akin to telling potential voters you don’t care about them. Not wise.

It’s been a while since I LOL’d at a cartoon. This one should hang in a museum somewhere.

Wait, did @brittlestar.com have a penguin costume sitting around, just in case…?

A few times in a journalist’s career, he or she must make a decision demonstrating true ethics and courage. Faced with such a moment, CTV failed big time.

Oh boy, this is straight bullshit. Cowering in the face of online trolls because it's "too distracting" is especially embarrassing considering the insane amount of trolling @rachelgilmore.bsky.social has put up with for YEARS and still managed to do her job, and well.

Really incredible to have CTV, an entire broadcast news outlet, say they 'don't have the bandwidth' to deal with the type of harassment that Rachel Gilmore deals with as an individual journalist all the time.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, I’m proud to share this profile I wrote about another great Waypoint employee. www.waypointcentre.ca/news/a-train...

Favourite #Survivor moment ever. I might even have gotten a little teary-eyed.

How sad that the basic kindness and decency encouraged by this article is considered a radical idea by some people. www.thebulwark.com/p/leave-tran...

Haven’t watched the Penetang Kings in ages. Figured Game 7 of a playoff series was a good excuse to get out to the arena. Exciting game so far. It’s 4-4 heading to overtime.
