We Toronto fans always loved him. He deserves all the good things.

This could also be what I signal

An article headline that asks “How Kate Middleton is using her wardrobe to signal ‘steadiness and humility’” a subheading says “The Princess of Wales has made sartorial choices that ensure focus remains on ‘message’ of her work”

This is stupid. But if I had to guess what my wardrobe is signalling, it would be constant panic and not trying.

I suspect there may be more LGBTQ + representation on the women’s team. That alone is scary for the anti-woke crowd.

There’s def a feel that America has taken hockey from Canada as if it cannot be shared. Everything is isolationist and restrictive. Not even women can share in it.

They’re probably on Twitter and who wants to go to that cesspool! I hope all Canadian hockey fans are as pissed as I am- not because we lost to the US but because players on their teams are best buddies with the guy that wants to annex our country.

Do not normalize, with even the faintest gloss of “joking,” what is part of that mfer’s rampant misogyny and predation of women and girls and the US government’s suppression and revocation of women’s right. And don’t tell me I’m reading too much into it. 3/3

…I want to scream that there was nothing there to laugh at. Even disparagingly. It wasn’t even a punching-down joke. It was just misogyny. Let’s call it what it was rather than dilute its poison. The laughter? Even if forced? Inexcusable…2/3

The USA men’s hockey team thing has really bothered and depressed me. I keep seeing people describe what that mfer said about the women’s team as a “joke.” Even by people who are disgusted by it. And I’m wondering - how does it in any way fulfill the conventions of joking - even bad joking? 1/3

Why is Doug Ford changing OSAP?

It's simple: he is trying to balance the post-secondary books on the backs of low and middle income students and their families.

His changes to OSAP will cost students up to $3500 more per year in debt.

We deserve affordable education.

My 7 year old just noticed my shirt and touched and said “you look pretty” 🥰 My 9 year old said “you look like the most fashionable person from cavemen times” 😂

I’m wearing this drapery shirt for the first time and have struggled all day to make it look and hang nicely. I just now discovered I’ve been storing a tortilla chip in it, which is fun. You all need to find a tortilla shirt.

Guess what? That US men’s hockey team some of you were celebrating, are f*cking pieces of shit. The Canadian team would NEVER.

I warmed my kids’ bath towels in the dryer so they were toasty when they got out of the bath, and I’ve been told I must provide this service every night from now on.

Clearly Canada didn’t win the gold because China is in the process of taking away our hockey.

They need to stop putting the camera on him. We don’t want to see him.

Rest assured, my family is mocking me for taking pics of the Jays’ first spring training game. But this is a big deal for me.
