Rug Hooker, Pickle Maker, Law Professor and proud Canadian. 🇨🇦 Once upon a time I dyed my Granny's bloomers robin's egg blue and hooked a sky with them. I prefer the company of Golden Retrievers but must work to buy dog food. Opinions are my own.

Once, an old bear found a girl weeping in a churchyard, close to his cottage. He took her home & tucked her up, & fed her cloudberries & plain cake & let her sleep for days & days under cold linen sheets & feather eiderdowns, & he didn't speak, not one word, unless she wanted to.
I want to sleep for days and days under cold linen sheets.
I adore Agnes Moorhead.
Remembering Agnes Moorehead, born on today's date in 1900. I loved her in so many films, including Dark Passage, Mrs. Parkington, Caged, and Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte, and in TV series like The Twilight Zone and Bewitched. What are your favorite Agnes Moorehead performances? #filmsky

I honestly don’t know what’s more concerning. That the president of the United States keeps falling asleep in public or that everyone around him is too scared to wake him up.

Dear neighbours: How about picking this guy for your President next time? Fond regards, Canada 🇨🇦
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Great piece on Trump's 'Quiet, piggy' moment. This phrase could be the new shorthand way to explain how abusers silence their victims. Keep quiet or be punished cruelly.

Heidi Stevens: After Trump’s ‘Quiet, piggy’ moment, we’re done asking why survivors don’t come forward, right?
If we’re going to become a nation that truly protects children and women, we have to stop giving a pass to sexual abusers, writes Heidi Stevens.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?
Federal workers aren’t furloughed.
Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.
Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.
It puts the politicians jobs on the line.
They get the budget passed.

Pete Hoekstra. It’s time to go. Please watch and share this brilliant rant from Charlie Angus. Then sign the petition. @charlieangus104.bsky.social
Please watch and share.
Pete Hoekstra is fundamentally unfit to be ambassador. His record of race-baiting and extremist disinformation needs to be called out.
MAGA is actively undermining our nation. Canada needs to send him packing.

I love 🩷 everything about The Log Driver’s Waltz. I grew up in the Ottawa Valley and am old enough to remember seeing log booms and drivers on the Ottawa River.
