How is the Great New York Exodus going, btw? Any stats on how many anti-Mamdani pearl clutchers have actually left the city so far? Are there apartments available? 😄

I can't stop watching this one. The purity of the puppy eyes at the end. 😭 In a world where almost everything is terrible, this is medicine for the soul. 💜
This is Archie. He's deaf and doesn't hear when his humans get home. Luckily, his little brother Frankie lets him know with a gentle nudge to make sure he doesn't miss the moment. 14/10 for both (TT: melissamilne)

I am reading an old cookbook about popcorn, and some of these recipes are insane: "Cut bananas into halves, scoop out the centres, & fill with popcorn after it is ground, and serve on lettuce with mayonnaise dressing." 😬 /1

I know that Flanders Fields is canon but nothing for me captures the futility, horror and rage of what we're remembering today like Wilfred Owen's Dulce et Decorum Est.

I am periodically asked to confirm my mother's Goals of Care with the nursing team at her assisted living home. It always feels a bit weird to remember that I literally have the power of life or death over her. It can be a difficult conversation to have with a parent, but I encourage you to do it.

On this day, when politicians love to trot out the last few remaining WWII veterans for their ceremonies, it is more important than ever to remember what they were fighting for, and what they were trying to prevent. We must all fight against the resurgence of Nazism and fascism. #RemembranceDay

Conservatives in disarray. You love to see it. I really don't think PP can survive this. Will he even make it to his leadership review? #cdnpoli

The first 11 days of November are a very special season in #Canada. We call it "How the Heck do I get this Damned Poppy to stay on my Lapel?" Season. Usually there is a blood sacrifice involved.

Parents, make sure you're careful this Halloween! Inside this Snickers we've just found the 1444 map of Boarstall, one of the oldest maps of an English village and a fantastic example of late medieval cartography.

Almost twice the number of signatures required. Amazing! #ForeverCanadian
Today, I submitted 456,365 Albertans’ signatures to Elections Alberta, petitioning the Premier to do the right thing, avoid a divisive and economically harmful referendum, and allow MLAs to vote and reaffirm that Alberta’s future is in Canada.🇨🇦
