28 years ago today, Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old gay college student, died after being brutally beaten and left tied to a fence in Wyoming. His murder became a defining moment in the fight against anti-LGBTQ+ violence and helped inspire federal hate crime legislation in 2009.
October is 2SLGBTQ+ History Month. The month celebrates the achievements, history and civil rights movements of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Today, it is the story of Michelle Douglas.

This painting by Mykola Ivasiuk, completed in 1912, illustrates my favorite scene from my forthcoming book about Ukraine’s historical fate. Bohdan Khmelnytsky, leader of the Ukrainian Cossack uprising of 1648, makes a triumphant entry into Kyiv.
The fact that Western embassies and international missions are openly refusing to give in to the Kremlin’s threats and publicly declaring that they’re staying in Kyiv is a great slap in Putin’s face and a very eloquent middle finger to him. Excellent and thank you.
On Oct. 4, 1957, the Avro Arrow was unveiled with the intention of it being the RCAF's primary interceptor in the 1960s. Less than two years later, the program was abruptly cancelled and 14,528 Avro employees were put out of work. This is the story. 📸 LAC 🧵 1/12
Between Stockwell and Andrew Scheer and Pierre Poilievre, just marvel at the quality of recent Conservative Party leaders in Canada. O’Toole was an exception, and Harper too, in his way. But these guys, wow.

On this day in 2000, Michael Smith died. Born in 1932, he won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Kary Mullis for his work in developing site-directed mutagenesis. He received the Order of Canada and several buildings are named for him. 📸 SCWIST
Agreed: Alberta Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith was never elected to hold a referendum of any kind on separation, and the whole current exercise is a act of treason calculated to keep the protofascists of her own party mollified. 🍁😠🍁
Sass Jordan has gone to the angels. She was a driving force in Canadian music. Legend. Thank you for the great songs and spirit. youtu.be/DNRenpS7QKY?...

On this day in 1991, the Edmonton Oilers traded Mark Messier to the New York Rangers one season after he led them to the Stanley Cup. In 1994, he led the Rangers to their first Stanley Cup in 54 years. With the Oilers, he won five Stanley Cups, the Conn Smythe and the Hart.
On today's episode of "Danielle Smith sure seems to retcon history a lot". Can we talk about "Question 1" for a sec? Because Danielle Smith says she's asking for a mandate for an unprecedented policy shift. But what does she really want? /1
Sweet old Kyiv these days. The best place on earth, no matter what.
