When you opt-out out of routinized facial recognition at the airport, they give you this super cute pink florescent tag to carry around with you. Highly recommend! 💓 Fuck you facial recognition xo

Important research! Haha, so true!
This appears to be a humorous academic paper titled "Replying 'Haha So True!' to Every Meme Your Friend Sends: An Experimental Study in Preserving Social Bonds with Minimum Effort" published in the "Journal of Astrological Big Data Ecology." The paper, authored by researchers with playful names, examines how minimal digital responses like "Haha So True!" can maintain friendships in the age of social media. The page includes standard academic paper elements like an abstract, keywords, and introduction sections, formatted in a typical academic journal style. The paper parodies academic research while making observations about modern digital communication habits. Alt text: An academic research paper page with a humorous title about responding "Haha So True!" to memes. The page includes standard academic formatting with title, authors, abstract, and introduction sections discussing minimal effort digital communication in friendships.

I love @zoedodd.bsky.social ! Thank you @dianacmcnally.bsky.social for writing this beautiful tribute to the most brave person I know and for acknowledging Zoë as Toronto's most inspiring activist of 2024!

Here is the alt text for the image: The image shows a webpage from "Streets of Toronto" featuring an article titled "Toronto's Most Inspiring Women of 2024: Zoë Dodd". The article is accompanied by a portrait photo of a woman with short dark hair and smiling at the camera. The text below the title provides a brief description of Zoë Dodd, stating that she is a harm reduction advocate and co-organizer of the Toronto Overdose Prevention Society, who advocated for harm reduction services when the Ontario government announced plans to close supervised consumption sites across Toronto.

Apparently, Donald Poilievre is also a drag queen in the praries. Can we talk more about this please?
"Poilievre's adoptive parents, who had married in 1971, separated when he was in his mid-teens. His father, Donald, later came out as a gay man. In his early twenties, Poilievre eventually met both his biological mother, a nurse in North Carolina, and his maternal grandfather for the first time."

The image appears to be a screenshot of a software interface or document. The key elements are: 1. The title "Revision Number 1" at the top. 2. The name "Alexander McClelland" with the text "Reviewer 2" underneath. 3. Three buttons labeled "Review", "Print", and "Submit Review to Editor". Since the image does not contain any people or other visual elements that would require detailed description.
