Happy heavenly Birthday to my husband Dave Kane - scientist, rugby player/referee in Ottawa and Toronto, masterful cook and lover of British humour. He left us in 2011, at just 66. He would be 81 today.
Attached, my favourite photo, and the other fave that never fails to make me laugh ❤️

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.
Alice Wong
Alice Wong had an outsized impact on Disability justice. As a community organiser, activist, mentor, and co-conspirator, as writer, editor, and friend, she is irreplaceable.

This is devastating news that will take a long time to process. A few names come to mind as giants we've lost in the disability community - Judy Heumann, Jim Derksen, Ing Wong-Ward - and so many more. Alice is now among them.
"Don't let the bastards grind you down."
Will do. Thank you Alice.

We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of author, activist, and Disability Visibility Project founder Alice Wong. Her writing and steadfast advocacy changed so many lives.

Can't wait to attend the @jackwebsterfdn.bsky.social Webster Awards later today. I was honoured with two awards last year, including the coveted Bill Good Awad. It was an unforgettable experience and I'm so glad to celebrate our brilliant BC journalists.
If you're there, come say Hi. Table 45.

Geezus, really something to make me feel bad for fans of the winning team
Cops going aggro on Sunset near Echo Park in LA after the Dodgers Win. Shooting people with less lethals from point blank range, horses running people and press down. Literally minutes before, fireworks in the street

My heart is shattered and full.
It wasn’t the ending we wanted so desperately, but we owe our guys so much love and gratitude for an unbelievable year. You are our heroes, boys. You’ve made me and many of us baseball fans again 💙⚾️🇨🇦💔
I can’t wait for next year. #BlueJays

Hoping with all my heart that our #BlueJays win Game Seven tonight. But no matter what, this was a magical year, and I hope we feel tons of joy and pride in Canada's team. They've been a gift this year.
Keeping this song in my head today.
