I hope you all one day experience someone stepping up for you or your friends when they didn't need to make it their problem. I have to say, it's pretty decent.
I wish it was warmer and I had even less air conditioning. I love feeling this uncomfortable
I feel this but just for a specific kind of John Lennon fan

The last article for PressProgress from Emma Arkell, an incredible journalist and colleague.
Emma Arkell@emmaarkell.bsky.social · 6d agoMy last article as the labour reporter at @pressprogress.ca is about.... media layoffs!

I think it's very funny/sad that people in positions of power just want to be famous so badly.
