Rug Hooker, Pickle Maker, Law Professor and proud Canadian. 🇨🇦 Once upon a time I dyed my Granny's bloomers robin's egg blue and hooked a sky with them. I prefer the company of Golden Retrievers but must work to buy dog food. Opinions are my own.
Pinned
I want to sleep for days and days under cold linen sheets.
Once, an old bear found a girl weeping in a churchyard, close to his cottage. He took her home & tucked her up, & fed her cloudberries & plain cake & let her sleep for days & days under cold linen sheets & feather eiderdowns, & he didn't speak, not one word, unless she wanted to.

Computers have like two USB-C ports and you’re supposed to use hubs (in your monitor for example) but then accessories don’t work reliably with the hubs, and the manufacturers rejoin you to plug the devices directly into the computer instead, which you’d absolutely do if it had more than two ports.

This is beautiful….
Right? TOS and TNG were proper ethical teachers. Growing up with this stuff, I foolishly assumed the whole world aspired to this moral mindset.
Rewatched some Star Trek tonight.
Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human.
Every episode says the same thing in its own way:
‘Be curious. Be brave.

…Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”

Another reason why, as a Canadian, I will NEVER set foot in this country again. This is cruel and sad. The USA is so f*cked. Half of this country thinks this is OK.
#GVerse #FuckICE detain U.S. citizen for "looking" Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

The incident occurred at the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood in Minneapolis. #DemsUnited

Blow up boats, seize oil tankers... next they'll just take over the Panama Canal. You really think an invasion of Canada is an impossibility? We still buying planes from these motherfuckers?

I adore Agnes Moorhead.
Remembering Agnes Moorehead, born on today's date in 1900. I loved her in so many films, including Dark Passage, Mrs. Parkington, Caged, and Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte, and in TV series like The Twilight Zone and Bewitched. What are your favorite Agnes Moorehead performances? #filmsky

I honestly don’t know what’s more concerning. That the president of the United States keeps falling asleep in public or that everyone around him is too scared to wake him up.

Dear neighbours: How about picking this guy for your President next time? Fond regards, Canada 🇨🇦
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Great piece on Trump's 'Quiet, piggy' moment. This phrase could be the new shorthand way to explain how abusers silence their victims. Keep quiet or be punished cruelly.

Heidi Stevens: After Trump’s ‘Quiet, piggy’ moment, we’re done asking why survivors don’t come forward, right?
If we’re going to become a nation that truly protects children and women, we have to stop giving a pass to sexual abusers, writes Heidi Stevens.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?

Federal workers aren’t furloughed.

Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.

Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.

It puts the politicians jobs on the line.

They get the budget passed.

@profgalloway.com Great interview on Morning Joe just now. A real eye opener. Every parent of little boys, every teacher, every politician needs to read your book.

Pete Hoekstra. It’s time to go. Please watch and share this brilliant rant from Charlie Angus. Then sign the petition. @charlieangus104.bsky.social
Please watch and share.
Pete Hoekstra is fundamentally unfit to be ambassador. His record of race-baiting and extremist disinformation needs to be called out.
MAGA is actively undermining our nation. Canada needs to send him packing.
