Welp, the Catholic church got a new pope today, so let's lean into sci-fi popes, shall we? The late Pope Francis didn't just lead one of the largest religious congregations on Earth, he was the first pope to endorse a science fiction novel: Lord of the World by Robert Hugh Benson.

Don't let ANYONE tell you the only thing to do for fun in Edmonton is drink.
You can have lots of fun if you don't drink.
If you do drink, please drink responsibly.

ngl relieved to see this sort of endorsement ♥
As a pretty visibly trans person, there are... certain countries I'm not perfectly comfortable travelling to, right now.
As a science fiction fan, I've always wanted to go to World Con.
As an Albertan, Edmonton is three hours away from where I live.
Let's host World Con!!!

Edmonton has been celebrating LGBTQ history for a long time. We don't shy away from our pride. Something to check out while you're here is the Edmonton Queer History Project's Queer History Walking Tour.

Dying to know how much Danielle Smith paid.
Seems illegal. Impeach?
SCOOP: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with President Donald Trump at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting.

Really struggling with Jason Kenney and Doug Ford making sense. Really illustrates how they live in the real world, as opposed to someone like Smith.
Think she'll shock us and step up?
