At this point I'm afraid to compliment people on their accessories lest they feel validated for their temu purchases

26yo and I'm carrying around a flask of apple cider vinegar and a container of iron stuffed dark chocolate just in case I get heartburn or lightheaded.

Is the City of #Ottawa @en.ottawa.ca doing any public event to Teach the Legacy or showcase their leadership actions on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation?

Is the flag lowering and bored recitation of Land Acknowledgement at Council meetings all that has been accomplished? #OttPoli

I hate that an entirely accurate #Ottawa response to "Are you going to X?" is "Transit willing."

I'd literally take the bus to work every freaking day if it didn't cost $4 each way. Instead I'm risking my life and annoying drivers on my bike 😈

It’s always interesting when politicians say hate and violence have no place in this country. It was founded on those principles.

If you don't want homeless people to be in public libraries unless they're reading, I have to wonder how you pull off the first part without effectively excluding many of them from being welcome to do the reading.

When I was younger, I thought I'd feel so smart watching the news. Turns out I only feel angry and depressed.

"Why are we treated like cars by the law, but like obnoxious and unwelcome obstructions by people in cars?"

Flyer for the very first Critical Mass ride, which took place on September 25, 1992 in San Francisco. Critical Mass rides have since been held in more than 300 cities around the world.

Flyer for a Critical Mass bicycle ride featuring an illustration of some bicycles and text. Text includes: Reduce Invisibility! Join the monthly ride home together! Aren't you sick and tired of having to fight for your life on city streets? Why are we treated like cars by the law, but like obnoxious and unwelcome obstructions by people in cars? Where are we supposed to go?

“It’s important for local businesses that cars be able to park.” Never mind that there’s a perpetually half-empty parking garage a block away; it’s not parking if it’s not directly in front of my destination! 😱

Just in case you weren’t sure how awful Doug ford is. The courts ruled against him based on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms because PEOPLE WILL DIE IF HE REMOVES SAFE BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE. So he’s considering ABUSING the Notwithstanding Clause just for ego and some cheap suburban votes.

If you want your yard to look like that of 19th century lord you must do so with one of those rinky dinky manual things. Otherwise throw some seed bombs and leave my ears in peace.
