I've only recently learned that the US federal system doesn't have a shadow cabinet, so it's easy to absolutely overwhelm the opposition since everyone is responsible for responding to everything - fuckity yikes!

if you set a movie between 1946 and 1997 and one of the characters smokes cigarettes you should also have a scene where he's having the worst coughing fit you've ever heard in your life. everyone just plays the scene around it without acknowledging anything

I worry that my approach to giving my cats treats is too haphazard, too unpredictable. In the absence of logic will they develop religion? What rituals and superstitions do they practice in the hopes of yielding a more bountiful crop? How can they please their fleshy and unknowable God.

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

I texted a bunch of out-of-town friends to make sure that I had the correct address for their Xmas cards. Hadn't sent any last year because of Canada's postal strike. Ended up in many lovely chats, and with some video meet-up plans! 💜

Movie you've watched more than six time with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Saw it in a theatre when it was 1st released and SO many times since then, including on the Museum of Pop Culture's SkyChurch screen

It is a GLORIOUS movie; you should watch it RIGHT NOW

It's fun that each finger has a little symbolic job: cool/not cool, that thing there, your driving is poor, I'm not available for dates, and (while drinking tea) I'm so fancy.
