Canada is not subsidized by the United States. Donald Trump is lying when he claims that. What’s worse is his base of fanatical followers believe it.

Remember Canadians, it is about boycotting American products! The EU and the UK are our trusted friends and allies and should not be forgotten. If you cannot buy a Canadian product please buy British, French, German, Scandinavian, Italian and so on! Let's build a stronger world together!

If you do not know the meaning of "Elbows Up", in Canada we use that term when we are ready for a fight and someone is going to bleed. #ElbowsUp #Canada #BuyCanadian #BuyLocal #cdnpoli

At first, I wasn't sure why people on BlueSky were demanding a profile picture, a legit bio, and posts to subscribe to an account. Let's just say that a month later, it has become VERY clear that it is necessary to filter and apply these rules!

Au début, je ne comprenais pas trop pourquoi les gens sur BlueSky exigeaient une photo de profil, une bio legit et des posts… pour s’abonner à un compte. Mettons qu’un mois plus tard, c’est devenu très nécessaire de filtrer et d’appliquer ces règles!

Folks, Brandon was my editor in the job I was just laid off from.

He was truly the best boss I've ever had and a genuine pleasure to work with. He made my writing WAY better. And he's extremely funny!!!

They laid him off too when they axed the newsroom.

You should all be fighting to hire him!
GREAT NEWS: I'll be posting more! Because @checkmyads.org has decided to focus its resources elsewhere, whoops. As ever, I remain excited for new opportunities (read: try to outwit AI cover-letter readers), so get at me if you think we could do something fun together.

I get the desire to follow back but I am constantly amazed at how many accounts that are clearly trolls, porn bots, fake GoFundme begging and others have really big accounts following them. Seriously...look at an account before blindly following back.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?
