SO LET’S STOP TRYING TO MAKE THE CFL INTO THE NFL.
On this day in 1861, the first documented game of what became Canadian football was played at the University of Toronto. It was a practice game between students and it predates the first recorded American football game by eight years.

As if I didn’t have enough to hate the US Administration for.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

What these premiers don’t understand or are unwilling to acknowledge is that teacher strikes are rarely about pay alone. They are acts of advocacy for the conditions that make real learning possible.

I never minded menstruation. I have never been especially fond of the accompanying intestinal …excitement.

Shortly after I affixed googly eyes while preparing supper, to the shoebox mimic which has eaten several rocks, Kid the Younger’s paramour said “I love coming here because it’s like a whole house full of letting intrusive thoughts win”, and that’s the best fucking thing I’ve heard all year.

Amazing how he publicly acknowledges that he has broken laws.
They are openly talking about seizing control of parts of the government that are not there to dictate.
At this point, none of them are trying to hide their intentions. Not one little bit.

Sorry, California; as much as I love you, there will be no US travel while your government detains its own citizens, deploys the military against its citizens, and continues following dictators’ edicts which flout the rule of law.
