Anyone on my network familiar with social supports in Canada, specifically in Edmonton, where a disabled autistic guy might turn for help? He’s about to lose housing and internet access. He’s brilliant but physically hurt, and he’s about to be on the street in this winter.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

the female Pileated Woodpecker was back today...so interesting how different her behaviour is from the male's...he visits the suet bucket and occasionally the water bowl...she was curious about the berries and the peanut slinky and didn't visit the suet at all....such a treat to see her! #birds

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10
a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

“there are many questions to which Albertans and all Canadians have the right to get answers, starting with the answers that Premier Smith herself must provide.”

This is a must read article on the question of separation.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Really cool piece of art I got to see last summer at the #RochesterMemorialArtGallery
It's American Gothic recreated upside down in spools of thread to be viewed through a glass ball.
