I have now fallen down a hole of also trying to find this recipe 😆

I have been unsuccessful, BUT! I ended up on the Library and Archives Canada page for CNR and they had a scan of the hand-drawn CN logo. I figured you would appreciate it.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I'm heartened that a peace deal in Gaza may become a reality, but it must just be the first step to a truly free Palestine.

Israel will do everything it can to sabotage and delay any further deals, and pressure must be kept on them, even if the killing stops. Palestine MUST be free.

I'd be curious to see how well it could work in No Man's Sky.

I wonder how many autistic people in the middle ages became monks or nuns? You can:
- Live with a small number of people
- Do the same routine every day
- Eat the same food all the time
- Spend most of your day painstakingly hand-copying books

Like, I know some people that would go for that now.

If Trump actually manages to secure a lasting ceasefire in Gaza it will be the most extreme case of Worst Guy making a good point imaginable.

The Worst Guy from that ClickHole article, who I have found out is a drummer named Josep Maria Garcia.

Fuck you, Scott Moe, the worst politician in Canada. You will not have to live the ecological consequence of more oil and gas poisoning our ocean. Hell, you likely won't even be premier by the time a pipeline is built. Our coast is far more precious than oil company profits.
