Atheist, bleeding heart leftie, recovering local politician. Out & proud in the 70’s, survived AIDS, because science! Posting politics & home-baking for my sanity. Guilt-ridden about the mess we’re leaving our kids.
Pinned
Here’s one of many reasons I am so happy to have left the bad place and relocated to the Blue one.

An actor named Ezra Knight was a regular customer at the record store in the early 1990s. He got a lead role in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern at Studio Theater. I went and wow wow wow. I'd seen Shakespeare and Chekhov by then, but hadn't known a living playwright could write like that. Bravo, Stoppard.

My absolute favourite artist will be showing some of his wire sculptures in time for Christmas at Colage Market here in #YYJ. After much nagging from me, he finally has his work on Instagram.

As an Afghan vet this hits close to home. I’m glad they were able to get out. I’m sorry how it turned out.
At the @meidascanada.ca town hall in Victoria a group of young Afghan women showed up. They were determined to share their story of resistance.
Check out this powerful discussion.

So many things I do & things I create are tributes to my mum.

It's interesting to see the resignations at the top over the BBC misrepresenting Trump, when in 2018 no one at the BBC resigned after Newsnight clearly portrayed Jeremy Corbyn as a Russian stooge at the Kremlin.

My brother just returned from 7 weeks in the UK touring historical sites & encountered several chickenshit undercover 🇺🇸tourists wearing 🇨🇦 flags and pins.
He also met some savvy Brits who made a sport of outing them after hearing their drawls. Even braindead MAGA know aren't welcome here or the UK.

Sign of the times. Seeing so many depression era recipes and here’s CNN on what to do with stale bread. Millions of working people are going needlessly hungry in the richest country on earth.
"Before you throw away that last stale slice of bread or the heel you never like to eat, I have a recipe or two for you," writes Francesca Giuliani Hoffman. https://cnn.it/47t5r3D

Two things can be true at the same time, Canada.
1. Yes, I’m disappointed with some of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s approaches so far, particularly around climate action, and his definations of “nation-building.” We should expect better.
2. Carney is still light-years better than Pierre Poilievre.

There is a myth that housing isn't getting built because of red tape when the truth is the private sector isnt interested in building what we need, and governments have abdicated their responsibility to build housing.

Canada has scrapped the digital tax, firmed up the borders, unilaterally dropped counter tariffs, signed off on the golden dome, increased NATO spending. And we've received disrespect and more tariffs for our trouble. It's time to counter not cower, appeasement doesn't work, obviously. #cdnpoli
