Teacher. Ally. Thoughts are my own, and usually salty. Coffee is life. Maslow before Bloom. Grateful for this island, these trees, this water. Doing my best to keep Nanaimo weird.

SoOoOoOo...it stopped raining long enough for Halloween fireworks in #Nanaimo, and, it turns out that I'm a total humbug about amateur fireworks. Maybe if I didn't have a freaked out dog, it might be different. Maybe not. 🫤

@zohrankmamdani is a deeply thoughtful human being and we think he would make the best NYC mayor imaginable. We feel this as New Yorkers, as Jews and as human beings who are desperate for kindness, compassion and empathy to be represented in our politics.

Tonight's moves by the UCP are part of a trend: shifting Alberta away from liberal democracy toward illiberalism.

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights?

An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote.

I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

I had one of those really good, deeply asleep couch naps this afternoon, and now I'm wondering what time my brain is going to turn off for actual sleep. 😭

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

I don't know who needs to hear this, because it's starting to show up in schools, but do not buy your teenagers the "Meta" Ray Bans. Just don't. Sincerely, a tired teacher.
