It’s the first time anyone has asked me that question, and it frees me to talk.

While America was conceding Europe to the Nazis, 17 and 18 year old Canadians were keeping the Atlantic free and fighting in spitfires.
Their spirit is with us now.
Trump can insult and try to provoke but he has no clue who he is messing with.
This is #elbowsup time.
True. North. Strong. Free.

If you haven’t read Octavia E.Butler’s 1993 book Parable of the Sower and it’s sequel Parable of the Talents, published in 1998, you may want to. Or you could just watch what’s happening around us. Is this art imitating life, or life imitating art? #bookclub #scifi

They have their own TV channels, personalities, media. They deride fact checking and (well) moderated debate. They buy social media platforms to manipulate algorithms and amplify content that suits their preferred ends and worldview.

What they are threatened by are places of alignment + organizing

The next few years are going to be tough, but just remember what Anne Herbert said:

"Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries."

The best time to join your local library is right now - if you have not already done so!

Studies have shown that the chemicals contained in black plastic can leach out of consumer products and can be detected in wastewater and even the air we breathe inside our homes. When black plastic take out food containers are heated up in a microwave or oven, these chemicals can leach into food.

What I find 💔 about Dr. Giles' article is the personal responsibility she/we feel for the failures of our #healthcare system.
We don't make the big system decisions, but we are tasked w/ buffering their impact.
The moral injury we carry is so heavy & damaging.
