There is no greater joy than everyone in the house being asleep as you drink your morning coffee.
Our family hated each other enough after regular UNO. Can’t imagine what this would do.

Stalking kills. I am, by every possible measurement, a statistical anomaly because few people survive being stalked for a decade like I was.

Stalking is femicide in slow motion.

Grateful @thewalrus.ca covered this and asked me to weigh in.

You can start when they're 2 or 3 years old. They're accustomed to throwing themselves on the ground at that age.
Little known fact that every Canadian child will be pulled on the ice by a hockey stick before the age of 11.

Good morning to everyone who has had the thought, "Everything is awful but at least my state hasn't passed a law banning the reallocation of road space from cars to bicycles."😬😢
This province is becoming such trash that the people of Ontario are thinking about moving to the US.
A sad day for cyclists. Bill 60 - which prohibits the conversion of motor vehicle lanes to bike lanes (or any other prescribed purpose) - has passed Third Reading this morning which will kill various cycling projects in Toronto & across Ontario. #shame #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

For the Ford government, it seems Ontario’s nature is important — until it gets in the way of development. The government creates new parks while paring back protections for others. @fatimabsyed.bsky.social asks: Why create a park if you won’t properly protect it? thenarwhal.ca/ontario-prov...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

Thanks @visionzerovancouver.ca for these great pics of our live LIFE AFTER CARS show at the Djavad Mowafaghian Cinema with Councilmember @lucymaloney.bsky.social and @tomflood.bsky.social. This one looks like I'm singing "Memory" from Cats.

I don’t know if there’s a heaven but I can tell you I’ve seen hell and it’s what lies beneath and within a child’s car seat.
It’s an unimaginable horror that might make you look for your nearest church for some comfort.
