The Dahlias by Didi Jackson

THE DAHLIAS
By now the fields are overgrown, most ironweed and parsnip have turned black, even the closed cabinet doors of milkweed pods have burst open, spilling their shucked silk into the day. I wear a coat
and remember August, those nights filled with moths that like fireworks put on a show at our window, circled the lights like monks in meditation.
At every new cycle, 1 miss the one now gone. I am never happy and have no excuse not to love the dying season, the growing season, the season of sleep.
I hat is to say, to love it while it is happening. But what of the fall dahlias that like bodiced planets float above their roots and leaves? Surely they contain all the colors of our universe. They must love the cooler days, the beginning of a time for rest, less forced display.
Take it easy I will say. But the wind has something else in mind.
They might perform a roundelay or the danse macabre. In time
we all will be bones, our eyeholes hallowed and our skeletons clattering like chimes.
—Didi Jackson

Jean Charest responds to Pierre Poilievre calling counter-tarrifs 'the privilege of appearing tough': "Standing up for the sovereignty of Canada is not a privilege. It is a responsibility of the government of Canada and of each and every one of us. We are not a vassal state." #cdnpoli

The next time Tom Homan tells people to "just comply" with people dressed as police, remember that House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were murdered, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot, by a man dressed as a cop who was not a cop.

Is California going to reciprocate by buying Canadian steel, aluminium, lumber, autos, etc. that have been heavily & illegally (under CUSMA) tariffed by your federal government & cost tens of thousands of Canadian jobs? Yeah, I thought not. Until those tariffs go, the booze stays off the shelves.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Dark navy Pride Month graphic with large rainbow-gradient text across the top. On the left is a black-and-white photo of two older men standing together near water and mountains, with two dogs at their feet. On the right is text about Jim Egan applying for spousal benefits for Jack Nesbit under the Canada Pension Plan and the 1995 Supreme Court ruling. A purple-to-blue name banner at the bottom reads Jim Egan (1921 - 2000), with Canadian History Ehx maple leaf logos in the lower corners and a rainbow stripe along the bottom.

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” Buddha A new week doesn’t need perfection. Sometimes it’s more than enough to remember we’re learning, adapting with moments of joy alongside everything. 🧡 #kindness #SelfCompassion Art by Stacie Swift

Illustration by @stacieswift featuring a peach orange background with a large lilac notepad style square in the centre. At the top, orange handwritten text reads: “5 things to take into the New Week”. Below are five numbered reminders written in black hand drawn lettering: “One thing you’re proud of from last week”, “Trust that not everything needs to be solved right now”, “Kindness toward yourself on hard days”, “Permission to say no without guilt”, and “An openness to joy in all its shapes and sizes”. The illustration has a warm, playful, comforting feel with soft colours and rounded handwritten typography.

On March 12, 1862, the steamship Brother Jonathan arrived in Victoria. Onboard was a passenger infected with smallpox. Within a year, 20,000 Indigenous Peoples in BC were dead. This is the story of the 1862 Smallpox Epidemic. 🧵 1/12

Black-and-white illustration of a steam-powered paddle ship at sea, angled slightly to the right, with waves breaking around the hull. The vessel has a tall smokestack emitting dark smoke, multiple masts with partially unfurled sails, and a large side paddle wheel visible at midship. The deck structure runs along the length of the ship with small windows and railings. In the background, a low, rocky shoreline appears on the right, and the sky is overcast.
