the app will tell you how many minutes til your bus, and then keep updating later and later and later. it’s like being in a car with your mom and asking “when will we get there?” and she says “in 5 minutes” every 5 minutes for three quarters of an hour
The #YQL myride site (trip planner) prioritizes short transfer windows over pretty much anything else.

Which means it routinely recommends trips that are utterly impossible barring celestial intervention.

This is your regular reminder that catastrophic illness and disability is often financially devastating.

It’s not a moral failing.

It can happen to anyone at anytime.

Too many people don’t care about healthcare access because they’re sure it’ll “never happen to them”

Thanks, brain, for kicking in with “Yellowjackets” just in time to stop me from asking my husband, “what was that show about the girls’ soccer team…The Bees? Stingers?”

This is why I thought elbows up was bullshit because at the end of the day this country has made folding to opposition a national pastime. Weakness blankets this country like snow
STAND UP damnit
This sounds like the weakness of principles that is a tenet of this country’s behaviour. First of all that is…unlikely. Second the Canadian economy is already going to feel the effects of the U.S.
To make a decision based off fear does not a good decision make

Leonard Cohen's "Famous Blue Raincoat" is the best holiday song: it takes place at the end of December, the time of year you really get down to writing passive-aggressive letters to lapsed loved ones

The UCP: you should be able to fire your MLA, here’s a handy-dandy recall process.

Citizens in 9 Alberta ridings: ok

The UCP: NOT LIKE THAT!

The government is not saving $35–54 million a year.

The government is cutting drug benefit spending by $35–54 million a year.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.
