We were thinking that the dispatch folks who send out buses to replace the Ghost Buses could be called "Ghost Bus-ters" 🙃🚌

Fantasy books: anything by Diana Wynne Jones (a big inspiration for Harry Potter). Some titles are for older teens, though. & graphic novels: Iliad & Odyssey by the amazing Gareth Hinds! Also Gamayun Tales by Alexander Utkin!

Any chance you will be there this evening? Or let me know a good time to come on the weekend so I will be sure to find you there!

If Sarah Kendzior is indeed blocked on @bsky.app, this is a completely unjustified and highly questionable move. Sarah Kendzior is among the best voices of knowledge-based critical journalism in the US. See to it that this is corrected immediately and with an apology, @pfrazee.com!

That's one Dylan song I have NOT yet played for my child yet because it's just so awful (the story, not the song)!

But we recently played "Two Soldiers" (so sad!!) & "Love Henry" (just yikes!) 😊

You might still have time to request a ballot for pick-up! I registered my mom at electionscalgary.ca and was notified the next day that her ballot was ready for me to pick up.

Yes, I was surprised to learn this was a thing... and even more surprised that Elections Calgary doesn't provide any info about it! Maybe they don't want too many people choosing this option? But surely the more people voting, the better!
