Oh, wow. I read her Auschwitz memoir "Eva's Story" (which I picked up off the library shelf for obvious reasons) when I was maybe a bit too young. It left a huge impression on me. I had no idea she was still alive.
Eva Schloss, an Auschwitz survivor who dedicated her life to speaking out against prejudice and to preserving the legacy of her stepsister, Anne Frank, died on Saturday in London at 96. trib.al/NZEPlL6

Got my car stuck in deep snow in a remote storage compound where I've never seen another soul at minus-30 on a blizzardy Sunday night and I'm gonna be honest, that's not how I want to go out.

Wild to me that this article calls Firstman's comments "genuinely innocuous." I thought they were really gross.
The female fans who led the charge in making the gay hockey romance a hit are also the ones policing its subjects.
Do women love "Heated Rivalry" too much?

Do not get me wrong, all book bans are bad, but it makes me extra sad and upset to know that a book as wonderful and important as @malindalo.bsky.social's Last Night at the Telegraph Club was the fourth most-banned book in America in 2025.
The Normalization of Book Banning
PEN America found that 6,870 books bans were enacted during the 2024-25 school year, across 23 states and 87 public school districts.

I am honoured to announce I’ve been appointed as a member to the Order of Canada. Thank you to everyone for the support! I dedicate this to my late Mom who taught me so much about history, local independent media & research. I know that she would be, like me, screaming with joy! #orderofcanada

The last few days did not move the main story forward AT ALL. It's just a guy eating little treats and doing nothing. And so many plot holes. He says, "no more little treats," and then he's eating another little treat in literally the next scene.
