THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical adventures. These soon multiplied. Significantly.

That's part of why I wrote this. It's important to understand that MAGA is not "real" America.

On the contrary, the reason they're all so fucking bitter is they know most people aren't like them. And they resent that.

When was the last time you had your blood sugar checked? It might be worth looking into, a new study says.

Forty-four percent of people age 15 and older living with diabetes are undiagnosed, according to data analysis published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. https://cnn.it/3VaUfl8

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Nothing too whacky today, gang, just a simple exterior shot of the Enterprise D in orbit of a brownish planet and black space with stars in the distance. Closed caption reads, "I don't know what I'm going to do."

My wife and cat are in an arms race to keep the cat out from under the bed. I am trying to avoid having an opinion on these affairs as I fear being bitten by both

I know this will reach no one that really needs to hear but I live here and it needs to be said: Alberta separatism is a bad idea and you can tell by who is flirting with it, including the Premier. I mean we have an extractivist economy and no access to international shipping routes

Friends in Old Strathcona were visited by what we assume are paid canvassers with high-quality printed leaflets, and tablets for recording survey responses. There’s some money behind this campaign—classic astroturf.

I just got an automated call from "The Republican Party of Alberta" doing a survey.

I miss the days when you got a live caller that you could slam down the phone receiver on after you told them where to go and how to get there.
