Why read books? Because there's a book for EVERYONE out there. And once you find the right book - reading will change your life forever! #literacy

Write out the dates, people!
When you can, avoid number-only date formats. Sighted users could be confused on whether the first number is the month or day. If you've incorrectly designated your document's language, screen reader users might hear the wrong date. Writing out the month prevents this confusion.

I spent 14 years in opioid hell. Many friends and acquaintances have lost their lives.
It’s a result of American drug company Purdue Pharma/OxyContin.
Anyone trying to blame fentanyl, Mexico, China, or Canada for America’s overdose deaths and opioid drug addiction are full of shit. Full stop.

Maybe it’s time for Canadian politicians to move off Elon Musk’s X as their preferred platform of choice to share official statements. While BlueSky reaches fewer people it’s growing and tech billionaires don’t have their thumb on the messaging algorithms. Just a thought.

Are we doing this again? Why? I know a lotta premiers have said they would stop with the time change if the states below them stop, too. But since we're not friends anymore, can we just do our own thing and not unnecessarily change our clock twice a year?
