Happy #FathersDay to all the dads and paternal figures celebrating. Including our own staff like Head Keeper Edwin. He has two families, his elephant orphan family and his human one. He says: “My kids ask me so many questions about my job, and they’re proud of what I do.”

How about using some of the millions of advertising dollars Ford has spent to promote his reckless government to instead promote the ROM?

Bill C-16, which includes my recommended amendment to the criminal harassment law, has passed. We fucking did it 🎉 I am downright stunned that I survived 10 years of being stalked & lived long to see this through. Life is one helluva trip!

Hazelnuts. The only food I don’t like. I mean, I’ll still eat chocolate with hazelnuts in it, but only if there’s no other chocolate. And I’ll be slightly sad.

Today is the feast day of St Melangell the patron saint of hares. She fled from Ireland to Wales where she founded a community of women. Remembered for saving a hare from a pack of ferocious dogs

You can become disabled in an instant. People think those of us who are sick did “something” to deserve it. We didn’t. The just world fallacy is a lie. It just takes one illness, accident or stroke of bad luck to forever change your life. Disability is not a moral failing.

Not much road left after the winter!

A photograph of a road leading to a beach. Most of the road is covered in wet caramel-coloured sand. A patch of pavement and a yellow strip is visible in the centre middle ground. The water is churned up with sand, but there is a thin turquoise strip of water at the horizon. Bare trees and sand grass frame the road.

Every part of the lily plant is deadly to cats - even drinking water that lilies were sitting in can kill them. Other popular spring flowers like tulips and daffodils can also make them very sick, but there are plenty of beautiful and safe alternatives.

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

This doesn't have to keep happening. It is possible to craft worlds where women and children are safe, rather than objects to be either dominated or protected from the domination of others. It is possible to create a world where people can just be safe in their bodies.

Ontario's universities are being forced to operate under conditions that no public system should endure. Minor tweaks will not fix the problem.

Almost 90 people being cut. Canadian historian Adam Chapnick, a professor of defence studies at the Royal Military College of Canada: “I don’t know how you justify this decision if you have any sort of commitment to history."

Library and Archives Canada is planning deep cuts to its access to information division that will put at risk its ability to comply with access and privacy laws, the department has acknowledged in a document.

The archives, or LAC, is the central storing house for historical records from across the federal government and is widely used by researchers and journalists. Records in its possession include previously classified files such as summaries of cabinet meeting debates or reports compiled by Canada’s intelligence officials.

The planned cuts threaten to worsen what is already a system in distress.

An in-depth Globe and Mail project called Secret Canada included a report based on interviews with dozens of historians, researchers, archivists and academics who regularly deal with LAC. They said the inability to access historical records from the archives had become so dire that Canadian historians now often rely on the public archives of other countries to do research.

Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda hand-cut this life-sized octopus from one sheet of paper. Known as Kirie in Japanese (translated as “cut picture”), the art form involves cutting intricate forms from a single sheet of white paper and then contrasting it against a black background to reveal the design.
