Was out working at the park where there's been a tent for the last day or so. A white City of Toronto car saw fit to approach the people there by cruising over the park grounds and circling to get to it. With Queen Street RIGHT THERE. 🤷🏼‍♀️

They mentioned this on the Padres radio broadcast of the game but there's nothing like seeing it. So great they ended up staying alive in this one.

There was a daytime talk show in the early '70s called Mantrap. (Best known for where spouses Alan Hamel and Suzanne Somers met.) It had a logo sequence with the title snapping together like a bear trap with a sound like a cell door slamming. Fucked me up when I was about 4.

It’s been two years since Ontario Place West Island was destroyed for a planned private spa. Hundreds of trees were cut down - here’s a snapshot of the many species who lost habitat. 🧵
Side-by-side comparison of a landscape on the Toronto waterfront. In one scene, an island is covered in trees reflected in a still channel of water. The other image of the same place shows a barren stretch land with a pile of rubble in the centre.

The problem with this entire “talking across difference” approach to politics is that it assumes a shared consensus about democracy that no longer exists b/w the 2 main 🇺🇸 political parties. You don’t need to have lunch with people who don’t believe in free elections, equal rights, & the rule of law.

I wrote the Audio Description/Described Video for it, so it's kind of a drag that the theatres here don't have it while they do have Closed Captions, but it's still a great doc and vision-impaired folks can wait for streaming I guess? 🤞🏻

While I was in NB, we once had 3 US/Canada dual citizens in the same room. Both my birth mother and I mailed in our US ballots early last week. The husband of one of her best friends is going thru the process of renouncing US citizenship. Wondered if he could vote while doing that. HECK YEAH sez me!

Residential schools were a tool Canada used to steal Indigenous land. These Narwhal stories explore that connection, and efforts to rebuild relationships between Indigenous communities and the places they come from, to strengthen their cultures and their futures. thenarwhal.ca/tag/truth-an...

"Canada strong", "national interest", "sovereignty", "Orange Scary Bad Man" -- all propaganda to get Canadians to accept the erosion of climate protections, food security, labour rights, Indigenous rights, the public sector, and public ownership. And all working very well indeed.

So I finished my run of writing Audio Description for Golden Girls seasons 1 & 5. Such a gift. It was such a trip they were my age now. Also man, Rose could be a complex bitch. Like she was sweet & ditzy but she could also be more grounded in her stupidity. (only based on 1 & 5 so don't come at me)

And I really do think that's what most of our disabled comrades are complaining about, insofar as they are. Not that we haven't eliminated all health risks in our spaces but that we don't behave like this stuff matters for all of us as a movement...

*We're" the ones who force them into having to consider their health individually when we decline to think about it collectively, rather than working with our disabled comrades to make reasonable choices re: weighing risks. Something they have more experience with anyway!

And yeah when you put people in that position, you are only gonna hear from certain people. You aren't gonna hear from people who don't want to talk about their personal needs in an organizing context, they'll just be quiet and protect themselves. Which is a big loss.

“If that doesn’t sum up Max, I don’t know what does.” John Schneider on his conversation when he pulled Scherzer: “I just said… Thank you for letting me be part of your unbelievable career. I wouldn’t want any other 42-year-old psychopath on my team than you.” #BlueJays

I'm in NB bc my birth mother's partner died last month & yesterday was a brilliant event in his memory. Among his many accomplishments, he played a huge part in developing & maintaining a nature preserve in West NB so today I hiked its "easiest" trail for the 1st time. I survived. 😊❤️

The other thing about “Choosing Texas” is it’s too slow to play at the gym or the ballpark, which is where I usually hear huge hits for the first time. This is not a normal #1 hit!
