Lights All Askew In The Heavens would also be an excellent alt-country folk-rock band name.
As would More Or Less Agog.
And also Men Of Science.
Dang these old timey newspaper headers are a goldmine for band names!

Another critically important point.
No bargaining with fascists.
First fight them with every non-violent means available.
If that fails, well; history is chock full of graphic examples of the next necessary steps.

One of THE most important points in defeating fascism.
Which we're going to do, collectively, as a species.
We've done it before; we're in the process of getting it together to do it again, vastly more comprehensively this time.

Montreal often has skies that make me feel like I'm looking at one giant transgender pride flag.

Today I learned that the French title of the 1991 film "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead" is "Faut pas dire à Maman que la Gardienne mange les Pissenlits par les Racines", which translates as "Don't Tell Mom That the Guardian Eats Dandelions by the Roots".

Trying to cram in as many open mic nights here in Montreal as possible before that all kicks off while continuing to hope that somehow miraculously it doesn't all kick off.

I am so down for this! I Am Not Your Negro was incredible, and Exterminate All The Brutes was life changing. Raoul Peck's work should be part of the core curriculum in public schools the world over.

Stopped by the delightful @joiedelivresmtl.bsky.social earlier this evening and picked up three novels by a new-to-me author: Becky Chambers, who, sensibly, is not on social media.

I forgot that I took some quick exterior photos of this phenomenal lil bookstore-cafe last night.
The interior is incroyable but I didn't take any photos because I was too distracted by the general aesthetic amazingness.
Joie de Livres! You should go!

Sittin' in a park in Montreal on a lovely spring evening, enjoying a pack of Japanese Twinkie equivalents while America descends into civil war II and the Israelis kick off world war 3.

A random post from the "Made in Canada - Canadian Products" Facebook group, which has 1.2 million members at the moment.
I've lived in Canada for 50 years. I've never seen my fellow Canadians remotely as livid with America as we are now. The alliance I spent my entire life in is over.

Saw this book by @raskin.house.gov while shopping today. Published in January 2022. About how close America came to losing its democracy on January 6 2021.
Flipping through it in March 2025 with the traitor it describes back in office was very painful.
We're in an extremely dark timeline.

Received a bizarrely worded fundraising / commit-to-vote email from Mark Carney.
What is he talking about?
What is "it"?
This "it" that he's going to "get done" if/when he finds himself "looking Donald Trump in the eyes. With Canadian jobs and livelihoods hanging in the balance" ?
