The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

My problem with Smith's transgender care ban I may not understand what kind of care transgender people need or what it is to be transgender But... I know that I don't want any politician, of any party, dictating my healthcare based on their ideology Healthcare is between a doctor & their patient

Farley Mowat was one of Canada's most successful and beloved authors. His books have sold more than 17 million copies in 52 languages, but he was also a decorated Second World War veteran and an Arctic researcher. This is his story. 🧵1/16

The photo shows Farley Mowat sitting outdoors near a body of water, possibly a coastline, with a rocky and driftwood-filled background. He is wearing a dark jacket with a fur-lined hood, which is pulled up around his shoulders. The jacket appears to be designed for cold weather, with a zipper down the front and fur trim around the hood. Mowat has a relaxed pose, with one hand resting on the driftwood beside him. The overall scene suggests a rugged, natural environment, fitting for Mowat's reputation as a writer deeply connected to nature and the wilderness.
