The LA Uprising
As of this writing, it's been one week of protests and riots against ICE in Los Angeles. A lot of why this matters is transparent: it's a moment of unity across many divides in a diverse community; it...

Les écrans et nos enfants | Des outils pour les parents
Les cellulaires seront interdits dans les écoles dès la rentrée, a annoncé Québec, jeudi. Une décision saluée par la psychoéducatrice Sarah Hamel et l’orthophoniste Julie Parent, qui viennent de lancer Les écrans et nos enfants. Dans leur livre, les deux spécialistes survolent les impacts – majoritairement négatifs – des cellulaires et autres écrans chez les 0 à 18 ans. Sur un ton bienveillant et avec humour, elles offrent des outils aux familles qui souhaitent modifier leurs habitudes. Entrevue.

Assuming this post today is aimed at us. The Trump admin changed the rules to make it easier to replace career federal employees with political loyalists. If you’re not alarmed by Trump’s post, you should be. This isn’t about policy it’s about control. It’s “do as I say, or you’re replaced.”

Having water counters would incensitive people to be more careful, but put pressure on poorer people. Also you have to consider the administrative weight of putting the counters, either have the munucipality or a utility track users, bill them, have a collection service etc.

Quel pauvre choix de mot. Le nationalisme est associé au fascisme dans plein de pays. Les Européens sont souvent plus au courant du spectre politique gauche-droite et il n'est pas étonnant qu'ils n'aient pas apprécié la notion que le Canada devienne nationaliste.

So they’re also saying a non-US writer who works on the current novel while in town for a con should be detained? What about watercolorists whose entire purpose of their trip was the paint the once-again visible parts of Glenwood Canyon & plans to sell their paintings? Avoid the US. We’re unsafe.
