"Block" and "Hide reply for everyone" are great features of @bsky.app and are two of my favourite things...along with snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes & brown paper packages tied up with strings.

Thanks to the lovely person who added me to their pack & thanks to all of my new followers.
I'm overwhelmed & grateful.
Sitting here realizing that there are so many good people in this world & I think we all need a bit more of that.

I'd like to know just how much the Victims' Justice Fund of Ontario (which helps all victims of crime) has lost in funding as a result of Doug Ford's personal vendetta vs speed cameras that, like the rest of the world that has used them for years knows, actually work to protect citizens. 🤨

BMO drops "diversity" as a core value to appease their fascist friends in the US.
BMO would do well to remember that in Canada, where they are one of the big six, diversity (in word and in practice) is a value we uphold.

A handful of brave women have tried to get the toxicity investigated. Police unions side with their employers.
Chiefs are part of the problem and they keep failing up. One is in Alberta at highest level, the other at the RCMP.

While at a local farm store, we picked up a farming "newspaper" that read more like a QAnon rag than an ag paper with numerous pieces by the editor attacking the Liberals.

Canadians DO NOT "share" American priorities nor do they share the Trump administration's "values". But we see that Danielle Smith does!

Maybe Canada needs to make the move first since we hold about $46.8 billion in U.S. dollar-denominated sovereign securities.

Condemning the racist, anti-Semitic, misogynistic exchanges between the "Young(ish) Republicans" isn't "clutching pearls"; it's calling out dangerous, reprehensible, anti-social behaviour that dehumanizes all of us if it's left unchallenged.
Republicans are morally bankrupt.
