This thread near made my heart bust. 💓
I grew up on a dead end road. The school bus would pass by my house and double back a few minutes later. There were some kids that lived at the end of the road but they moved after 10th grade. After they moved the school district told the bus driver that I had to walk to the nearest intersection

Over the past ten days, I transitioned my mother to the hospital to wait for a long-term care bed. It was a lot of work and I'm entirely spent on every level, but I have ZERO idea about anything happening on the political front! ✌️😆 #blessed

Ours did not have any peek out points in the hat, but rather a ladder that went nowhere, and I used it as a way to escape the calamity of other children. 😆

Stand up to him, get rewarded. Try to placate, he'll just demand more. The way is clear

I've been saying this since he started flip flopping in early February and it has only gotten more laughable since. The guy and his minions are playing an obvious game.
What's worse is that everyone keeps saying he's so stupid. In many ways, yes, but he absolutely knows what he's doing here.

It’s more than interesting. It may be insider trading or something more sinister.

Shit. This is layers of misfortune. If I was in a position to help Mayday, I totally would. Sending it out into the Bsky universe in case it reaches someone who can. 👇‼️
my car broke down again this week & a buddy lent me his while i tried to get money together to have it towed to a shop. just went to go wait with it & found someone shattered my front passenger window and ransacked the car & ended up stealing the battery. 😣

Political parties are not static. The Conservative party of Poilievre is not the same as it was under Joe Clark. The Lester B. Pearson Liberals are different than those of PMJT. So voters must pressure the party they prefer, not just at election time, but continuously, to influence their policies.

It all makes sense now. No securiry clearance, no transparency on money trail and candidate vetting. PoiLIEvre should immediatley step down. Worth the watch.

Please everyone—realize you’d need to be superhuman to withstand this onslaught intact. Be kind to yourself and others and know that the very fact we are registering this all is a sign of life and decency. And we can and will tap into that common source of energy.

I did a bunch of cartoons lampooning president dipshit back during the first term of pre-dystopia. I won't be drawing any new, but I might as well repost these.

Visiting my mom this weekend and staying in a hotel. Lovely spot—my favourite, in fact.
Sitting, having my coffee, and doing a bit of work when I hear housekeeping staff knocking on doors down the hall. What do I do? I immediately tidy the room like the guilt-riddled, middle-aged woman I am. 😂🏆

Not since January. There's a lot of shit I don't actually need.
FUN FACT: I haven’t made a purchase from Amazon in nearly 6 months and I’m okay.

Today's Cross Country Check Up on CBC Radio is, unfortunately, a very clear example of how completely clueless and unprepared almost all Canadian and American journalists and journalism institutions are to deal with the new Trump presidency.

Nova Scotia should be concerned. Contact your MLA, folks. ⚠️‼️🔥
It might be budget day but the NS gov has tabled some concerning legislative changes, eg requiring 2/3 vote of the legislature to fire the auditor general (which gives the current governing party the ability);constraining role of law amendments. Silencing accountability is anti democratic. #nspoli

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

During this time, Melania sought a buyer for a documentary about her transition back to first lady. She was set to be the executive producer on this project.
