Some Canadians should heed the message of this short film.
So true. It's as prehistoric as it is timely.
When I was a kid in the '50s the school would show this 1945 film on rainy days when we couldn't have recess outside. Written by a group of later blacklisted Reds, the end still chokes me up.

A PhD must never be - connect the dots. Or paint by numbers. Too often, a singular structure is proposed or imposed. This week, let's activate a more meaningful dance between form and content as we organize and structure a PhD. youtu.be/A_HyrM7hmJc

Over 1300 British writers, including Michaela Coel, have signed an open letter expressing their solidarity with the trans community after the UK Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex.

Thank you, @lucyluciid.com
I created another starter pack! This one contains users who are vocal for sex workers rights and intersectional issues. This is still a work in progress and I will be adding more.

So that's what layoffs are called now "non-voluntary reductions." How much are consultants paid to come up with newspeak?

The headline is shocking, but each detail in the story is increasingly more insane.

US doctors, join us in Canada! 6.5 million Canadians are without a family doctor. We need you. We respect you.
Paging Canada: Your future doctors are fleeing the U.S. American physicians, especially those under 45, are desperate to escape a system that not only fails to respect their values, but actively undermines them. canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/02/23/p... via @canadahealthwatch.bsky.social

Before the US election, my wife and I talked about moving to Canada. 2 days after, we put the wheels in motion.
