They've been bad the last week and also I got used to them not being bad during the summer!

Perfect day to watch the leaves turn.
As long as I don't get bitten by a tick 😂

Did we listen to the same BTB episodes? 🤔😂

Change in the season can sometimes do that. We're told that autumn should be this wonderful experience, but it's a shutting down time that can mess with our heads.

Here’s an idea - politicians have to apply for a licence to practice politics, renewed every 5 years. If you are found to have been a key architect of a disastrous decision which has made the country measurably poorer, that’s one of the criteria through which the licence can be revoked.

Found my paints and am feeling spooky! I used this tutorial for inspiration. It's been so long since I did any painting or sketching, so some prompting was needed.

The Beautiful Season.
Sun setting between the Cottonwood and the leaning tower of Birch.
The leaves are starting to dry out and make music when they are jangled about by the breeze.
Trees have the poetry in them

We eat every day on my masons ironstone that I collected years ago.There was no heirloom anything in my family, so I made my own.
Some pieces now have chips, but I don't care. Cereal tastes good in a transferware bowl.

You’ve probably heard the famous post- WWII poem, “First They Came.”

But have you seen this positive new adaptation by @bridgetmoixfcnl.bsky.social ?

Lisa Von Ahn writes how she found hope & inspiration for this moment in the poem. We hope you do too.

for the writers 🖤

Power

A poet is sentenced to death
and brought before the Leader.
Between them is a map of the world.
Can't you see? the Leader asks. You're powerless.
Name one power you have that I do not.

Very slowly, the poet lowers his head
and lays his ear on the map.
I know, he whispers, I know,
as if he is comforting someone,
as if he is hearing the voices of children.

When the guards take the prisoner away
and begin to beat him,
the Leader is alone in his chamber.
He looks out the curtains, straightens his necktie.
Very slowly, he lowers his ear to the map
and closes his eyes, and listens.
Silence. Silence and paper.

—Joseph Fasano

We've got some vibrant colours starting in the thousand islands area. I was worried the drought conditions might dim their intensity, but it's so pretty thus far

'Blurred line' is pronounced 'conflict of interest'

Aurelia Cotta The Original @originalaurelia.bsky.social · 28d

Huh, and here I remember a time when “blurring the lines” was actually pronounced “corrupt, unethical & a firing offense” at all credible media outlets #cdnpoli

Ben Mulroney is blurring the lines between journalism, business, lobbying and partisan politics

The new host of Global News’ national political news show also works for registered lobby groups, advises businesses and hosted election events for Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives earlier this year
