I'm not very far into it, so we'll see where this goes, but anyone who's felt slighted by my social ineptitude and wants to laugh about it could watch Fisk.

oh my God

a New York Times editor had to resign 5 years ago over publishing an op ed by Tom Cotton calling for the military to shut down George Floyd protests

now Wall Street Journal is letting him do the same shit

separately, "Tom Cotton" sounds like the final boss in a video game about slavery

The U.S. government invited reports against Canadian doctors who provide gender-affirming care — in Canada.

This was a direct threat to our sovereignty. We should pay attention to it.

I am coming to realize that micro aggressions I typically absorb and heal from in private feel like a hailstorm when directed at my kid.

When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up."
It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team.
You heard him Canada: elbows up.
If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project

Hell, if there were such a place, would actually freeze over before Canada became a U.S. state, because it would be full of scrappy Canadians who went down swinging.

And who determines what the executive’s legitimate power is, JD? The executive?! Come on.

Let me put it in terms you’d get. It’s like football. The judges are the refs, and they say whether you’re in or out of bounds. And Musk is waaaaaay out of bounds with these takeovers of our systems.

2. I believe in our capacity to change.

no matter who someone is or what they have done I believe that people can and do change - both for the better and for worse and it's important to support people to become their best selves

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.

We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

Not a woman in tech, yet this list would likely have solved all of my problems in at least one prior workplace, so now I get what was going on there. It's weird to be a token progressive hire into a hostile environment.
