@indivisibleguide.bsky.social, Ezra, Leah... I just finished watching your conversation with @elienyc.bsky.social. I'm always watching for Elie's contributions to the world and I LOVED this -- especially your body language as he was closing, Leah. Rock it y'all -- best wishes from north of 49N

My brother had a musical commission. Here's the result. He's one of two "IT guys" (The Senior One) at Communitas Supportive Care Services (www.communitascare.com) and they asked him to write a song about kindness.

When, after being a sitting MP for over a year, an auto-reply e-mail comes back with the phrase, "We have not yet opened our constituency office, and will do so as soon as possible." What's a voter supposed to think?

The cost of solar and wind continues to drop, making renewable energy the smarter financial choice. Transitioning away from fossil fuels is better for the planet and better for our wallets too.

I was so thankful for the chance to watch this, all four hours of it. Canadian MPs/MLAs should take a hint on this one... maybe not so high profile, maybe not so high temperature, but you wanna make your voters feel included? Face them like this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfVj...
