It feels so much better to give the $25 hairdresser a $25 tip than to just pay for the $50 salon.

You should read “Thick Skin” by Hilary Peach, or listen to her CBC Ideas talk, or go to her website and listen to her amazing audio poetry recordings.

Interesting: the letters in FRANCISCUS look sloppily placed but are, in fact, separated by identical gaps. The problem is, that doesn’t work with Times New Roman capital letters. They need dynamic spacing to appear balanced
Just reading up on the calamitous Pope Francis kerning scandal.
The kerning on the pope's tomb is a travesty
The internet is up in arms about Pope Francis's tomb, and it's all because of lettering.

Liberal partisans on TikTok: we won which was a resounding rejection of fascism!
Conservative partisans on TikTok: the liberals are going to bring in fascism! Where do I sign up to separate Alberta?
Seriously so dramatic.
Most ppl believe they rejected fascism. Find the common ground.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner.

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off
Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.

OK SO, 25% book tariffs are set to go live April 2. this is tricky for a number of reasons but the simplest is that most books are published & warehoused in the US, even those by Canadian authors, so this makes it infinitely more complicated than "Buy Canadian Authors" or slapping on a sticker

Brandi Morin in Ecuador part 4: ‘Canadian companies destroy in the name of Canada.’
Government & industry will do whatever it takes to push through mining projects, but Indigenous opposition is strong in the heart of the Andes.
This is Canadian mining.

Anyone else feeling ambivalent about this whole Canadian patriotism era? While I am not happy about the threats from the south, I am also much more aware of our colonial past & present than the last time being ultra-Canadian was cool…
