Wow. The group who did the anthems in Montreal tonight did some of the most beautiful renditions I’ve ever heard. Four-part harmonies will getcha

Reminder to folks in Ontario as you’re digesting turkey that you should make an appointment for your Covid shot, which is free, and available to everyone Oct. 27. You can schedule online with Shoppers Drug Mart super fast. And remember to give thanks for science. SCIENCE!

You are doing everything right

Do you talk to them and give them peanuts

Will you become the crow lady that everyone fears

I hope this is your liberal agenda

Years ago I gave my kid a copy of THE CATS OF TANGLEWOOD FOREST by Charles DeLint and they read it in a day and loved it. What I didn’t know is that they STILL HAVE IT and they’re reading it again now and I’m like awwww I gave you a comfort read awwww

It’s a very specific happiness

A very good thread on masking, especially in these hellish times when the systems meant to protect us are being spitefully destroyed by evil little power hungry gremlins. Mask up! Protect yourselves and your community! 😷😷😷

if you are rightfully concerned if not frightened about the continued dissolution of U.S. healthcare infrastructure, would you take an action every day to resist it?

Please read Kate's piece and watch Zohran's video. So important, so good, and so hopeful. I cried watching it too.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

It’s time to make this again. First batch lasted almost three delicious weeks. So worth it.

Kevin Hearne @kevinhearne.bsky.social · 23d

Whaaaat two recipe threads in a day?

Gotta share because @alwayscoffee.bsky.social demanded it

I tried making my own granola and it’s …amazeballs?!? Unexpected beginner’s success! WHICH MEANS YOU CAN DO IT TOO

Except if you have nut allergies, sorry

Okay let’s do this—

The reclaiming/reframing of frogs as Antifascist after enduring years of the execrable Pepe is glorious and I am here for every scrap of new heroic frog art

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

I believe I’ve developed a new skill in my advanced years & that is profoundly being in the way of other shoppers at the grocery store

Though I suppose this might be a skill I’ve always possessed but did not notice until now

They see me—there’s eye contact—then they drive their cart right at me
