On this day in 1986, Canadian author Robert Munsch released his book Love You Forever. It is a book that originated from tragedy but from that tragedy came something wonderful and beloved around the world. This is the story of one of Canada's most acclaimed books. 🧵1/10

Needed to prep a document that updates my supervisor on everything I did all week. I was too busy to add my activities to my calendar, but I can't remember what I actually did all week 😭😂😂

After having free access to a lab, being restricted to 7am-10pm is a pain in the ass. Requested to have it extended. Told I was given 24 hr access. Tried it again this morning. Locked out. What do you mean my card doesn't work? I have shit to do. I'm certainly not here for shits and giggles.

This is just vile. Even the initial differential is unacceptable, but the sudden drop in 2020 puts the lie to every claim of good intentions and "balancing" impacts when public health decided to surrender to COVID.

You can't say you'll keep prices low in one breath, and then how it will be a great investment opportunity in the next. The two are antithetical. Safety needs to be part of that conversation. We all know what the push for profits does. And more foreign ownership? #RealTalkRJ

There have been lots of hard moments, but the worst one is how life is just paused and that person is missing. And the paperwork. FML the paperwork is going to throw me over the edge. I don't understand how people expect a widow to do all that.

When you wear denim jeans with a denim jacket and denim shirt, you create a very unique look. This look is known as The Canadian Tuxedo....but why? It all began in the 1950s in Vancouver. This is the story. 📸 Wikicommons (Erky-Nagy Tibor) 🧵 1/7

I've spent decades learning about death, hospice care, and end of life care. I'd like to think I'm more prepared and understand it more than most. Received the news yesterday that my dad is dying. And all I know is that I'm not sure that knowledge is all that helpful.

I'm not sure if this is the best or worst Canadian Tire product ad ever created. WTH is she doing in that tent? 😂

Screenshot of a Canadian Tire ad featuring a portable steam sauna, otherwise known as a human-sized lunch bag for anyone who has ever thought, “You know what my living room needs? More humidity and mild panic.” A woman sits inside the black zippered tent while steam pours around her, with a folding chair nearby for the friend assigned to monitor whether she is relaxing or just needs moral support for her...
