There was no room for me, and there was no desire on the faces of the folks crammed together to make room either.

I can't say enough about being a tourist in my own hometown. Walking past the awesomeness of South Park School on Douglas St., I saw this plaque honouring @bctf.bsky.social. It made me proud to be a retired teacher. (even though my history doesn't go that far back)😲🤓

I don't know how I can ever be 'outraged' again after so many examples from #trumpism. I'd like to play with the UN caption provided by cartoonist Mr.deA. (as negative, as U.N., as an UNcle you'd never invite to dinner)🤯
I better go lie down for a rest.

Why are we debating this stuff? In Canada?
Danielle Smith’s new “dual practice” plan would let Alberta doctors work in both public & private care. She calls it a fix for wait times — critics call it the first step toward U.S.-style privatization. 🇨🇦💸
Real solution or two-tier trap?

Lest we forget Mr.K. "The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events. More important, we need to provide a platform for Arab voices. We suffer from poverty, mismanagement and poor education."
I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Waste is piling up: of time, of action, of will –– and that's not even counting the real waste being sifted and filtered through the bodies of the poor.
Humanity is failing itself and the planet.
30 years on from the first COP and after 30 years of broken promises, our planet is at an inflection point.

COP30, the annual UN conference on #ClimateChange, is under way and #ExtinctionRebellion Latin American chapters rise in protest!
