We may never fully reconcile with the horrific, senseless violence that ripped through Tumbler Ridge this past week.
But we can find comfort in each other. We can look after each other. To those families who have lost loved ones: we mourn with you.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

A brilliant speech by Canada's Mark Carney in Davos: "The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy...The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home & to act together."

Same. At least once a week I think about this. Especially on behalf of my friend who lost both parents in four days, and my friend whose son lost his dad before he could say goodbye.
sometimes it will just hit me that over a million americans died from covid in a short period of time and we never had a national mourning. we never collectively grieved. we never honored the dead. this feels like a failure
