Money, power, a play so real it got banned.

The ruling class wins when workers are divided.

I’m running for leader of the NDP to build a movement that unites us and puts power back in the hands of working people. ✊

I wrote to M&S about the stupid lingerie department story - confirms nobody offered a bra fitting to a teenage girl. The Telegraph and JK can (always) do one.

Screenshot of an email: Hi Rachel,

Thank you for contacting us about the article you’ve seen.

We want our stores to be inclusive and welcoming places for our colleagues and customers. We have written to this customer and explained that our colleagues typically work across all departments in our stores and customers can always ask to speak to the colleague they feel most comfortable with.

We also explained that our colleague was asking a customer if they needed help; they were not working on bra fit or offering this.

Thank you again for getting in touch.

Sorry I missed you. Yes the production team was very good. The creative teams got to do what they wanted but the SMs kept them right on schedule. They finished almost right to the minute, which is amazing without having had a full rehearsal!

We roll at dawn! The day has finally come. It’s been 27 years since we mounted the full York Corpus Christi plays in 1998. We lost our original wagons to fire but we have shiny new ones built using new research. #yorkplays2025 #torontoevents #medieval #medievaldrama

Hooray! And we will be there! Just as Richard III and his wife Anne watched the Corpus Christi plays a mere 550 or so years ago.

It's finally just around the corner! If you're in Toronto June 7, drop by. It's all free and open to the public. It's first time in 27 years since we did this back in 1998.

Sending your kids to kill their cousins is WAY different than being indifferent to a war thousands of miles away that you’ve been consent manufactured to just accept.

Also, the majority of Americans would oppose invading us. It would trigger a civil war.

Rusty was flirting with all the people on our walk along Queen Street tonight. He even got to say hi to some kids whom he loves loves loves which means he can rarely say hi because he gets too overjoyed and jumps on them. #dogs
