The godless Canadian liberal baking & gardening accountant you were warned about. Team Cobra Chicken. Slava Ukraini. She/her.
I know nothing of dance or skating, but this was so beautiful.

I’m trying to limit my consumption of bad far-right conservative takes on the horrific shooting in BC but I’ll just say this: if you’re using this awful event to justify your hate of Trans people instead of practicing empathy for everyone affected by the crimes committed then you are truly evil.

This asshole has been trying to stop a second bridge for most of his life, as his father did before him. They have tried everything they can think of, for my entire life, in order to maintain a monopoly on people driving between Detroit and Windsor.

This is the story of Canada's first Winter Olympics.

Canada builds bridges literally and figuratively.

Canadians are tired of the lies, the hate and division.

We are a peaceful nation, but we will stand up to those who try and tear us down. 🍁🇨🇦💪🏻😏

The Germans called him "Hell's Handmaiden".
Each time he returned to his aerodrome, his airplane was riddled with bullet holes.
No British Empire First World War pilot had more confirmed air victories than him.
This is the story of Billy Bishop.

this might be the highest gross things per line ratio piece I've read - if Americans are really following this story, the anti-elite backlash will be fierce.

“Molliver said the federal government may not deport them to Ecuador, their home country. Instead, the family could apply for asylum in a third country” and Canada has a chance to do the softest power move right now.

I’m literally in tears at this
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported.

6 years old.

She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.

Even if you don't have time to read all 83 pages of Judge Reyes's opinion barring the Trump administration from rescinding Temporary Protected Status for 350,000+ Haitians, please at least check out the four-page introduction.

It's a tour de force:

Hey #Nanaimo… can you help?
A common question Jocelyn and I get asked by some healthcare workers considering moving to the mid-Island:

Can anyone recommend a Nanaimo salon with experience working with textured hair, like styles commonly worn by Black clients?

5) ICE also begins warehouse buying spree to convert into immigration detention facilities.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

This hits the nail on the head

And seeing this pattern is why I avoided becoming a science writer for so long. Felt like I had to only be wanting it out of ego

But we NEED smart people being vocal for good causes. The humble avoiding the limelight is how we got into this societal mess of untruth
It seems to be the science grifter playbook. 50% common sense, 25% science in or out of context, plus 25% woo to make it exciting. Add a top university professorship and a bunch of famous friends for reach/authority. I’ve been listening to Arthur Brooks a lot so it’s at the top of my mind.

I may have a stroke.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”

A PROTESTant.

I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.
