Consider buying a reader that's not a Kindle. Kobo readers are a good quality, connect to Overdrive, and can easily have epubs loaded on them from anywhere. But any Android reader can install the e-reader apps of every platform.

But is anyone going to hold Doug Ford accountable for the dismantling of our system? Of course not. All healthcare blame is to be directed to the federal government, because shut up.
“Ontario recorded the highest number of wait-list deaths: 10,634, including more than 9,100 diagnostic-scan deaths where patients died before reaching the point of receiving or being scheduled for surgery.”

That certain provincial premiers invoke the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as a tool to ram through legislation that would otherwise be unconstitutional speaks volumes about their contempt for democracy. That the news media normalizes this is unacceptable.

Electric bills are up 11% this year, and shutoffs are spiking across the country.
At the same time, corporations are building hundreds of energy-hungry data centers, and working families are being forced to absorb the cost. Higher bills for us, higher profits for them. seiu.co/3M71usW

If you're a fan of Slow Horses, as I am, and you haven't checked this show out--best give it a look as it's based on a novel by the guy who wrote the books that inspired Slow Horses, has same producers, and is just generally a lot like it in tone and sensibility. Dark humor, twists, great acting.

It’s a post of warm gratitude.
Today, after I wrote how deeply it hurts when support is cancelled right after the attacks,
you joined, you upgraded, you wrote kind words.
You reminded me – hey, girl, you’re not alone in this.
I’m not asking for anything.
I just want to thank you.
