My kid telling me about how raccoons clean their food when they eat as I watch the raccoon walk through a field of goose poop 😅

I feel like that's a cute example of small picture vs big picture thinking...

Text on a black background that read "It's not really about what you'd tell your younger self... It's whether they'd meet someone they recognize, or a complete stranger. That's probably how kids now feel about you, btw... exactly how kid you would have felt toward you..."

This is from my own triage report from 2017

We seemed to understand so much about airborne spread we literally mentioned how concerned we should be with Novel Coronaviruses and to use a negative pressure room...

Yet now... Politics overrules science and so we have forgotten

My daughter and I both had a hand in this.

I wonder if people can tell which writing style belongs to whom?

Sound familiar? (alt text for last photo continued in posts, hit the character limit...)
Picture from inside title page from the book 'The Great Depression 1929-1939 by Pierre Berton' displaying an article snippet "The historian of the future, when he writes about Canada and the Great Depression, will comment upon the remarkable ineptitude of Canadian pub- lic men when faced with this emergency. He will write of the obstinate refusal of governments to face realities; of their pitiful and tragic tactics of 'passing the buck' to one another; and of their childish expectation that providence, or some power external to themselves, would come to their rescue and save them from the consequences of their refusal to look into the future, foresee events that loomed black in the sky, plain to be seen, and take such steps as were possible to mitigate the fury of the storm. The severity of the condemnation will be measured by the extent of the power which was not used and the responsibility that was denied. -Winnipeg Free Press, March 18, 1933" Contents OVERVIEW: The worst of times 1929 1.

The Pang of a Wolf 7. Slave camps 2 Shovelling out the unwanted The squeeze was being felt at every level that year. The federal government squeezed the provinces, the provinces squeezed the municipalities, and the municipalities squeezed the people. In January, for instance, Manitoba's Minister of Public Works warned the city of Winnipeg that it must pare down its direct relief spending; if not, the province would start cutting back its share of the expenses to a third. Faced with that threat, the city made all recipients sign a note promising to pay back any funds they'd been given. In Sudbury, one of several communities that urged the immediate deportation of all "undesirables," civic workers had their wages cut, residence qualifications for relief were increased to a year, couples who had been married for less than six months were 140 cut off, and any person who could be shown to be domiciled elsewhere was denied aid. Nobody wanted to pay for the rising cost of relief. On the one hand, the provinces were pleading with Bennett to increase Ottawa's share of relief payments. On the other, many of his own supporters were urging him to decrease them. These pennypinchers resorted to the outworn argument that relief sapped the spirit of enterprise. A special report prepared by a committee of the Canadian Bar Association deplored the encroachment of the state in the sphere of individual activity. The lawyers, meeting in Calgary in September, were told that unemployment was a problem for the private sector and that "the attempt to shift the burden to governments is bound to prove expensive to industry and to the public generally." The easiest way, and the most popular, to cut relief costs was to get rid of the foreigners and troublemakers. "Bohunks" and "Polacks," **CONTINUED IN POSTS**
