every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸
Before Europeans arrived, these were some of the names for The Great Lakes: Superior: gichi-gami (great sea) Erie: erielhonan (long tail) Michigan: michigami (long body of water) Ontario: Ontarí'io\kanadario (great lake\beautiful water) Huron: karegnondi (fresh water sea)
I really can’t get over what a rookie mistake it is to look the Government of Canada in the eye and say “We’re gonna need you to piss off Quebec.”
yeah we’ve got to get back to having rich people visited by three ghosts
💯I wish people would stop trying to reason with these people or even 'debate them' because if you speak to anyone woman who has ever been an athlete, she'll tell you that our sports, even as children! get fewer resources, less practice time, shittier coaching, etc. They DGAF about us.
Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · 4w agoI have no patience for the argument that anti-trans bigots care about protecting women and girls and women’s and girls’ sports. The conservative agenda is to destroy our autonomy and our equal opportunities. This is not a secret. It is the entire point.

A few other recommendations: - Moon of the Crusted Snow and Moon of the Turning Leaves by @waub.bsky.social, especially for Canadians. - I Cheerfully Refuse by Leif Enger specifically for the characterization of billionaires. And I still love The Stand by @stephenking.bsky.social
🌈 Drawn&Quoted 🦄@drawnandquoted.bsky.social · last mo.This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.

Hockey Night in Canada has been a rental space for some time, but it was still Hockey Night in Canada in terms of reach, and for the most part, in tone. The death of HNIC was inevitable as soon as the big telecoms going into sports broadcasting: the money was too big. But it's a true national shame.

no big deal, just elon musk saying he would've killed journalists at @theverge.com if he was, in fact, a killer

I used to work in tourism and would try to convince Americans that it was an actual beaver tail covered in gravy and cheese curds.
Karen K. Ho@karenho.bsky.social · 2mo agoA tourist sitting near me on the TTC subway is asking what a Beavertail is (a pastry) and where they can get one.
You're right. That wasn't endless shrimp, it was a basket of drywall screws. I'll do better next time.
