I just think that reclaiming our time from responding to word generators is a five-alarm issue in writing, and one that we need to start thinking and conspiring about very critically. I don't think ignoring it is sustainable in a labor setting unless we just agree to be replaced by robots ourselves.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

It's very upsetting to read this headline, although not altogether surprising, based on recent events. We are now one step closer to losing one of the coolest things to have come to Ottawa in many years. And it didh't have to be this way. 1/ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Ottawa Charge won't play at smaller Lansdowne arena, PWHL says | CBC News
"We'd like to find a solution that works for us to stay in Ottawa," a league executive says of the Ottawa Charge. "But the city hasn't made it easy for us."

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

BREAKING: After an appeals court denied Trump's effort to withhold SNAP funds for hungry families, the President is appealing YET AGAIN all the way to the Supreme Court.
It is stunning the lengths Donald Trump will go to in order to force children and seniors to go hungry.

That Lansdowne transit upgrades were not part of the LRT-centric transit vision or implementation is a tell.
At best this is the least damaging compromise vs. doing nothing and effectively abandoning Lansdowne to rot.

At the end of the day I'm not sure how much difference it makes. But it is striking to put out a budget that axes a luxury tax on yachts and adds a co-pay for refugee claimants accessing drugs and dental care.

We gave away over 100 hot dogs, 15 pounds of candy, signed up 50 people for the bone marrow registry, and collected 28 units of blood —which is more blood than in three people’s bodies!

Hard to overstate the lifeline this ruling offers in the face of Trump's calculated cruelty.
It will not only keep tens of millions—half of them kids—fed this month, but will also prevent the evictions and shutoffs that would have resulted from families being forced to pay for food out of pocket.

I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.
