In Chatham, Ontario!
Yay, this was really fun.

A screenshot of a guide detailing items you should bring to a protest, including: cell phone (possible a burner) cash protest stole cell phone power bank sharpie (to write important info on your body) snacks water (for hydration and first aid) plastic bags for wet/sticky objects extra t-shirt backpack to carry everything first aid kit
The Episcopal Church has put together a very impressive toolkit for protesting, including tips for clergy in particular. Truly inspiring. This is how Christians ought to be engaging the moment.

If Google stopped providing GMail for free tomorrow, there is nothing any Canadian government could do about it.
And quite frankly, nor should they.
If you want e-mail as a critical service, make Canada Post an e-mail provider.
And make it accountable to the people through Government.

Southwestern Ontario is growing fast. Our infrastructure hasn’t kept up. London Chamber of Commerce has written to Province to support City of London’s call for enhanced passenger rail. We need dedicated corridor connecting Toronto, London, and Windsor.

One of the absolutely wild things about having kids in elementary school is all the playground rhymes, riddles, and magic tricks I haven't thought about in 30 years coming back. There are a few new ones in there, but not as many as I would have thought.
The memory of the mass femicide at Polytechnique is still painful.
Today marks the 36th anniversary of the Montreal massacre, where 14 women — students at Université de Montréal’s École Polytechnique — lost their lives in a mass shooting motivated by misogyny.

Girl Guides Canada is pretty great in a lot of ways
Congrats! My father in law also had a tough slog through throat cancer likely caused by HPV. He has thankfully recovered and I'm glad his grandkids won't face the same.
And now I feel much better about myself than if I hadn't. It did not impair my experience at all. I had an amazing time. Thank you tie die friend.
I went to an indoor concert for the first time in year tonight (Yay!) I had a mask in my pocket, fully intending to wear it, but I walked through the door and kind of chickened out. BUT THEN I saw a lady in an awesome tie die shirt and purple mask and put mine (also purple) on too.
Decided to treat myself to a fancy coffee today, and yet again I ordered a sweetened latte that sounded good, then immediately regretted it and had to cut it with black coffee at home to make it drinkable. Are other people's taste buds really up for this?

I've just been reading through the list of Silver Cross Mothers. I'd forgotten how 2024's lost not one but two sons to PTSD and suicide.
I signed on to this letter because I refuse to accept the framing of "AI" as inevitable or even urgent. Generative "AI" in particular is slop tech for a fascist era and this rushed "consultation" period is just part of the overall griftosphere that constitutes modern tech.

I make this on the regular. It's delicious with a nice sourdough!
