Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Working beside my dog. Dog farted so badly I could taste it. I had no option but to scream and turn on the ceiling fan.

Ok Bluesky, let’s give this a go: I found this postcard in the back of a photo frame I bought at a London thrift shop.
It’s an unsent postcard from a woman called Linda to her parents. The front shows the Kremlin in Moscow and the stamp says 1984 (!).
I’d love to return it to Linda - can you help?

I write apps. When you submit an update to your app, Apple or Google review it as if they're looking at the app for the first time. They might reject your update because of some detail, a detail they may have accepted before. There is no consistency. It's the worst.

This is Cole. He is a deaf service dog at Dr. William Mennies Elementary School. He just turned 9, and all of his students learned sign language to sing him happy birthday at a massive party. 14/10 for all (IG: colethedeafdog)

I don't know why the US government is putting its own people in jeopardy.
“Since 1998, independent researchers have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism." -Dr. Susan Kressly, AAP President on recent changes to the CDC's website

Shoot, I just lay down but I still have to take out the recycling, but like ... I'm laying down. You know?
Thought I'd tell you all about it, case you were wondering.

Went to see the Vinyl Cafe live in maybe 2013 or so. Ron Hynes was featured, shortly after his throat cancer treatment ran its course. His voice was different, but he could still sing. When he did Sonny's Dream with Stuart MacLean joining in, it was beautiful. I miss them both.
On this day in 2015, Ron Hynes died.
Born in 1950 in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, he was a celebrated singer-songwriter whose music was covered by over 100 artists. His most famous song was Sonny's Dream, considered one of Canada's greatest songs.
