The tree behind me was the site of a makeshift memorial to the first one of my students that died due to the addictions crisis.

As of last week the last of the students that made that first memorial are dead.

They are all dead. Leaving over 20 orphans.

Tragedy isn’t free. We deserve better.
Spicy Grandma is the best!

He's literally tearing down the White House. Literally.

LITERALLY.
Seeing bulldozers tearing down the east wing to build a monument to a dictator during a government shutdown is surreal. He really is unstoppable.

So, Trump demanded Ukraine to submit to Putin’s ‘peace plan’ or face destruction , media report.

Well then, we don’t need to choose nothing actually.

Because Putin’s ‘peace plan’ is the destruction of Ukraine.
Agreed! His being allowed to voluntarily relinquish some (not all) of his titles is an underwhelming response to child sexual abuse and harassment.

The Calgary police department teamed up with CBSA to harass migrant workers at a construction site, expect more of that with these increases. #cdnpoli

Agreed! Caffeinated Kit Kat - whats not to love?
Done! It was cathartic going to each one and watching their drivel fade away to nothing after clicking that sweet sweet block button.
That map makes my heart sing. Cheering you all on from Canada.
Fun fact: a “war” is a conflict between nation-states. Unilaterally killing suspected “narco-terrorists” is just plain old murder.
Using a burner phone increases scrutiny at the border. It is no solution.

Nothing uplifts you quite like mayor of your home town saying it’s could be a tough winter for Kyiv and urging people to prepare water, food supply and warm clothes.

Winter is coming - which means Russian attacks on our energy system are coming too
A man choked his wife and admitted it. His penalty? 12 months probation. 3 months later, he broke into her garage and stole a hammer. His penalty? More probation. The judge called his actions “minor in nature”. No wonder women are reluctant to report.

Ex-MLA Greg Lawrence gets probation for taking hammer from ex-wife’s garage
Some conditions Lawrence must follow include keeping the peace and being of good behaviour, appearing in court when required, having no contact with his ex-wife and not being within five metres of her...

Needing to disconnect is healthy. I am relieved that you are still there, and taking care of yourself.
I have followed this woman since joining Bluesky, for her first-person observations of the war in Kyiv. She has not posted anything for 10 days. I am worried about her.
And in case you were wondering: yes it’s been louder in Kyiv recently.

By louder I mean Russian drones , attacks and all that but you got it
Thank you! I phoned stats can to confirm just to be sure. You can’t be too careful these days.
Sitting on hold with Statistics Canada trying to confirm if the mandatory labour survey I received by text message and email is real.
