Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

We have way too many dangerous intersections in Nova Scotia, like this one that saw 46 crashes in 6 years. We need to address the issues of the whole road system, not wait until someone dies to begrudgingly try to address one intersection
I am reading this story from a few days ago, about how an intersection will be turned into a four-way stop after a 17-year-old was killed in a crash, and how about this sentence.

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment.

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

Renad, an 11-year-old girl from Gaza, posted a message on her Instagram story yesterday. It read: "I'm scared."
She was living through Israel breaking the ceasefire and killing hundreds of Palestinians, including children.
This is wrong. Why is that so hard for our media and politicians to say?

Israel broke the ceasefire. It shouldn't be so hard for the world to condemn this

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

It might be budget day but the NS gov has tabled some concerning legislative changes, eg requiring 2/3 vote of the legislature to fire the auditor general (which gives the current governing party the ability);constraining role of law amendments. Silencing accountability is anti democratic. #nspoli
