Last year, I signed 4yo up to a "1000 Books Before Kindergarten" challenge. Ignoring all the books I had read her up to that point, we just finished book #1000 in 12 months. We finished the challenge with "The Woman Behind the Magic". So proud of her ♥️

I wasn't a big fan of the Liberals or of Chretian but was very happy that he did not go along with the bs about WMD. I was proud of him that day. I like listening to him now. He's a pulls no punches kind of guy.

"'Elbows up' turned into stares of disbelief at the measures posited by Carney’s Liberal government. It’s one of the most profound political reverses on the Canadian public, proving that while Carney charms us in the front, he is stripping our rights behind our backs."

I’m not sure how people’s argument that Carney is “better than the alternative” when the alternative lost his seat is a flex. Poilievre is irrelevant and using him as a boogie man to justify Carney’s love for dictators & atrocity is non-sensical. He is using your fear to govern poorly

4K followers this week. I know on Bluesky that’s not a huge number but I am humbled regardless. Thanks. And if you want to read my acclaimed working class fiction for free, the link is in my profile! I swear I’m not an asshole but sometimes my protagonists are, lol. (Obligatory cat picture.)

Here's hoping I am the first person to tell you that #TalkingHeads just dropped an astonishing music video of a 40-year-old song -- starring Saoirse Ronan.

You're welcome.

Dear Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social,

I campaigned for you, I voted for you, and no one asked to have their civil rights violated, environmental protections repealed, wildfire victims ignored, and Indigenous rights trampled.

Your government is so disappointing. Enjoy your single term.

@davidmunroe.bsky.social is a critically acclaimed working class voice abandoned by the industry years ago. Despite struggling with poverty, he still writes and at least still gets the odd grant to help. But assuming the working class is illiterate has helped get us where we are now societally.

Canadian politicians are posting less and less on Bluesky because no one is engaging with their accounts. If they do not remain here they will continue to be warped by X. Here is a list of them, let me know if I forgot anyone.
