What a crappy presale code! I'm on the mailing list for the Montreal PWHL team and was excited to get some tickets for Dec 17. But my code only opened up 3 upper bowl sections, one of them "obstructed." My MIL (huge hockey fan) is 80, has a bad hip, cataracts, and is afraid of heights. No damn way.

As a resident of the far north end, I would be very curious to know if there is a restrictive covenant on the Novalea/Duffus strip mall or the little complex at the corner of Willow and Agricola. Pretty sure those both used to include grocery stores. Maybe even both Sobeys or Sobeys-ownes brands?

Oh yeah!! The bit of Chaucer I quote the most, whenever I get a veggie box (including leeks), is "eke lekes"!
‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’
It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.
They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

Guts and serotonin! One of my favourite combos to go on about! Did you know that antidepressants can be used to treat some digestive disorders (such aa visceral hypersensitivity) because there are so many serotonin receptors in our guts?
Like, 95% of it is in our GUT?! What? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29909048/
Serotonin in the gut: Blessing or a curse - PubMed
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) once most extensively studied as a neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, is seen to be predominantly secreted in the gut. About 95% of 5-HT is estimated to be found in gut mainly within the enterochromaffin cells whereas about 5% is found in the brai …

This is so interesting. Strikes me that HHS in the US is determined to frame hormone therapy (which is important and effective treatment for some people!) as the cure for bitches, crones, and scolds.
No, HHS, menopause does not in fact cause divorce and death, but tell us more about how great you are at women's health. @juliannemcshane.bsky.social and I wrote about how they somehow managed to mess up what should have been good news on HRT with weird claims. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

No, it doesn't kill women or cause divorce.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

A striking white coloration makes this spiny skate (Bathyraja spinosissima) easy to spot. These active swimmers hover and glide well above the seafloor, while their relatives tend to stay close to the bottom. This species is especially common in rocky lava fields.
