Overheard a dad at the optometrist asking his wife on the phone, "Why am *I* here? I don't know any of this stuff!" How I wish I could have heard her response!

I especially miss Ontario every October. I took this photo of the canal on my regular bike route to Carleton University thirteen years ago.
Green coniferous trees are interspersed amongst deciduous trees in vibrant red, yellow, and green. In front is a canal, covered in fallen leaves.

“Cranapple-scented trash bag” is my new favorite fall themed insult. Seasonal insulting (in my head) will be my entertainment, henceforth.

Blowing a whistle does not ruin a reputation. He already chose to ruin his reputation by doing evil in the first place. The rest is natural fallout. Tell the truth.

I love when a recipe says “prep time: 10 minutes.” Ten minutes for WHO? A professional chef with eight hands? It takes me ten minutes to find the paprika. Then another five staring into the fridge hoping the ingredient I forgot to buy will spontaneously appear out of shame.

This, all of this. ✊🏾👏🏾💥 Why aren't senior business leaders across AB industry sectors dropping these statistics on immigration & the absolute dependency that Alberta's workforce has on immigration? Why aren't all the business & political leaders who aren't Canadian-born standing up & speaking out?

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

I visited a beautiful, old Presbyterian church today to hear Dr. Miroslav Volf preach. It took me back to my childhood, growing up in old churches and manses full of wood and stained glass. +
Sanctuary of an old church, with wooden pews on a lower level and a balcony in a semi circle around the wooden table, pulpit, and large organ. Light shines through stained glass windows. A grand piano is to the side.Selfie of Meredith wearing glasses and a mask on her face, dressed in a multi-coloured dress and blue cardigan, standing next to an old wooden door with a frosted windowpane.

A four-quadrant comic first shows a man opening a door to a room where a boy is surrounded by computer files. The man says, "You need to pit everything where it belongs".
In the next pane, he closes the door.
In the third pane, the man partially opens the door and asks, "did you do it?" The boy answers, "yeah". The background is cleared of items, other than the edge of a folder is shown behind the door.
In the final pane, the man opens the door fully to reveal the file, entitled, "untitled folder". The boy looks away.

It's been awhile since I thought of Zac Hanson, after having a crush on him from the poster on my sister's wall. I was not prepared to read this wiki page, especially that last line...
Details of Zac's Pinterest account were leaked in November 2020, described by Ashley Spencer of Vice as "a trove of pro-gun memes, many of which were racist, transphobic, homophobic, and sexist".[47] The now-deleted account shared memes that commentators characterized as supporting George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin, comparing the right to use an AR-15 rifle with Rosa Parks' right to sit on a bus, suggesting that men cannot support gun control without being gay, and insisting that any "man wanting to dress like a woman" must be mentally ill.[47][88] After first defending the posts, he apologized and said, "The leaked Pinterest page provided a distorted view of the issues surrounding race and social justice, which do not reflect my personal beliefs. I apologize for the hurt my actions caused."[47]

Zac and his family are also gamers, and currently run Zaccidental Gamer, a gaming channel on YouTube where they play such games as Minecraft Dungeons, Halo Infinite, and more.[89] In February 2023, Zac was ordained as a deacon in the Eastern Orthodox Church.[90]

I think holding a fire sale for foreign investors, including Americans, and selling off Canada’s critical infrastructure is a bad idea and inconsistent with shoring up our sovereignty. Just one man’s opinion!

Well folks, I guess I grew up on the outskirts of Eden. Those rocks and trees and lakes of northern Ontario are pretty glorious!
A post reads, "If you don't believe it go take a hike in the Grand Canyon where they don't allow people to go and check out the carvings in the stone. You'll change your mind real quick"
Attached is a map entitled, "An Historical Old Testament MAP of Ancient America". 
The Gulf of Mexico is called Egyptian Sea; the Pacific Ocean is called The Great Sea; the west coast of Canada is called Land of the Hittites; the west coast of the USA has both Israel and Egypt. Assyria, Babylon, and Mesopotamia are over the states just south of the Great Lakes. Northern Ontario is labelled Eden.
A yellow star marks the place Meredith grew up, near where Lake Superior and Lake Huron meet.A scan of an old photo of Meredith as a preteen, sitting on a large stump on a beach. Around the lake are small hills covered in red, yellow, orange, and green trees.

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:
Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?
