Just do it ... You aren't going to starve and there's a whole world outside the US to explore. The best things in life are NOT American. Make yourself a better life for your family.

Today Suella Braverman called homelessness a lifestyle choice. This is hurtful and stigmatising. She should apologise and resign straight away. Repost if you agree.

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).
Reproduction of excerpt from Timothy Snyder's book ON TYRANNY:

"1. Do not obey in advance.
Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."

This is one of the best interviews I've read in some time. Morris is an incredible (and infuriating and aloof) filmmakers in the world. His thoughts about what documentary and interviewing are, is fascinating. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

All I know about Alberta comes from @feistywaters.bsky.social, @woodwarddotca.bsky.social and Dolly. That's quite enough apparently.
