The emotional exhaustion so bemoaned is a miasma; a morbid insufferable dullness of language. How can we speak our truths, or shed private shames if we do not know what words best give them form? We are a society commandeered by the indolent gaze, beggared in tongue & quill and so much worse for it.

Don't know if you've seen it, but Liris put out a vid (YT) about this episode, that dress, & brian (that man does not deserve a capital on his name! He is LOW!) OMG, my heart! That poor woman! 💔💔 Maybe you all can give her a shout out on the next review and get her some extra love? She's earned it!

Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.

From CBC News: Canadian detained by ICE for 6 months says he's an 'indefinite' prisoner, has no idea when he'll get out. 58 Canadians are being held by ICE. Avoid all nonessential travel to the United States.

I am SO F*CKED, and I really couldn't argue it. 😂 I broke hearts, minds and souls. My approach to writing is: I don't kill characters, I just make them wish they were dead. So yeah ...

I think Trump needs to be worrying about his offshored stolen Venezuelan oil 💲. Qatar is going to have some steep repair bills b/c of him & they have his account#. 😁 Poor Qatar, looks like that plane was a 💩 trade. Imo, I think Putin pushed for this to up the value of Russian oil already at sea.

If EVs were ever going to get a boost, it`s now. People are fed up of being over the oil barrel. Now there are so many more choices + a strong secondary EV market that EU & Canada will be happy to tap into just to take the stress-war of gas vs food off the table. Kick Big Oil in the NUTS! Drive EV!

Guess whose oil is coming back on the market ... Not all the EU's nation states have sufficient oil reserves. If Saudi facilities keep getting hit, and Hormuz remains closed Putin's war chest is set for a nice boost. F'ck Trump! Incompetent asswipe! Goddammit USA and your moron voters!

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

I think Carney needs to have a serious sit down with his cabinet. He might be too used to the C-suite of banks/investment firms where they pretty much keep their mouths shut until it's time for the annual shareholders meeting. Sorry, Mr. PM, shareholder meetings are every day they step outside.

As British soldiers were being evacuated from Dunkirk, the 1st Canadian Division was already in the UK as the only fully armed force to defend the shores. This photo of Canadians in the Battle of Britain is displayed across from our parliament. We fought fascism from day 1. Don't fuck with us.
