The Hockey Sweater is one of the most famous books in Canadian history. The story of a boy who received the wrong hockey sweater from Eaton's has been featured on our currency, gone to space, and been turned into an iconic NFB short. This is the story. 🧵 1/12

Crowded vintage locker-room illustration of children in red-and-blue hockey sweaters tying skates, checking a team roster and chatting amid scattered sticks and helmets, with the book title "The Hockey Sweater" and credit "Story by Roch Carrier, illustrations by Sheldon Cohen."

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Today, I came across a yellow-striped armyworm caterpillar. Absolutely beautiful little friend. I’m naming her Melody. I left her outside after safely directing her off the walkway, but she’ll always live in my heart

I do not have children but I would like the lives of parents to be made easier with the abundance of wealth we have in this country because, say it with me now, we live in a society. Thank you.

chips: we put more air in the bag cookies: we put fewer cookies in the box fruit cups: we have bent the laws of time and space to fit 4 litres of juice in this 250ml cup. God himself told us "stop, that's too much juice" and then we flipped him off and added more juice.

My five year old has the soul of Orson Welles. We were outside school and he 'put a kiss in my pocket for later.' Extremely touched by this, I gave him two back. He dug out the second one, THEATRICALLY CRUSHED IT IN HIS FIST and said 'one is enough.'

I cooked all day and managed to leave the kitchen without leaving a pile of dishes to “soak” sink. This is the most responsible I have ever been in my life.

Common Merganser females have a remarkable ability to care for and adopt ducklings that are not their own, mixed-parentage ducklings, this phenomenon is widely documented and results in massive "super-broods" or daycares

Btw 1. Confabulations can occur with or without auditory hallucinations 2. If you can get close enough to see it in real time- eyes sometimes twitch, flutter, and roll similar to an absence seizure 3. Go along with it unless it triggers violence/danger; similarly lie to redirect/reduce the emotions
