The trend was most pronounced in North America, where anti-trans laws have been common.

If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover an old opera where a community is kind and loving and protective of a woman suffering a mental break. If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover screamingly funny and timeless class satire. Your life will be poorer.

As a general rule, because deep-sea assets are often loud and clunky, creating noise and dropping light on otherwise pitch black regions, we have categorically undersampled large, mobile fauna from the deep sea.

I remember this. We went to Washington to ask for help and Jessie Jackson was the only one to respond. Rest in Peace.
That time Jesse Jackson, at the height of his political importance, visited Kahnawake to give his support to the Mohawk warriors there, during the Oka Crisis.

americans will be like “everything is a sequel or remake” and then defund school arts programs
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Yesterday FOM's Chris Gallaway called on Alberta MPs & the federal Health Minister to speak out against the Alberta government's Bill 11 & enforce the Canada Health Act to protect our public health care.
Bill 11 is an unequivocal threat to the very foundation of our Medicare. We need action now!

Alberta was a leader in renewable energy until the UCP banned it. They want Alberta to fail because that keeps people angry and they excel at farming anger.
"We inherited a situation where our budget is over reliant on resource revenues."
The UCP has been in power since 2019. At some point you're going to have to take responsibility for the decisions your party has made.

Canada could do this. We could be a world cultural power if we subsidized the arts the same way we subsidize oil.

Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.
