Environmental sociologist. Tennis, bicycles, and Berners. Reads way too much - or not enough - George Orwell, Jeff VanderMeer, Arundhati Roy, Haruki Murakami, Olga Tokarczuk, Ursula Le Guin, and William Gibson. There's gotta be a pattern there, somewhere.

One day in the 1980s, Wilma Pelly injured her hand at her factory job.
While she recovered, she decided to try out acting.
What started with work as an extra, led to her beloved role as Elsie on North of 60 and a successful acting career.
This is her story.

"A photo-art collaboration using camouflage body painting. A boy in tattered clothes sits on steps, painted to blend perfectly into the stone — a literal portrayal of social invisibility."

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind:
If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist.
If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist.
Pretty clear

The @theatlantic.com claims that Canadians will use "treachery" to make America and its media look "silly".
No, we are a democratic people who hate thugs and their pusillanimous enablers.
Deal with it.

I think Sabalenka made a big mistake agreeing to play against Kyrgios. While BJK had a reason to play Riggs, Sabalenka is just giving a platform to a failed tennis player and domestic abuser.
