Are taxi drivers in Toronto allowed to charge a flat rate and refuse to turn on the meter? Curious about what the rules are. I was warned last time I was in the city to say no to the flat rate. I asked the driver if we could use meter instead and he said no, so I got an Uber instead. #toronto #taxi

I love that they phrased it this way, centring the victim. SHE is the main character, he’s the villain

haha yeah I switched to my laptop last night, but then it stopped working on there too 😱 I swear they know when I'm at this stage of my writing. Back in March I was at the same stage with my other novel 🀣

Do you know if this is an official, intentional change? Mine changed yesterday and it's killing me πŸ˜… This happened back in March because of a bug, but they fixed it eventually

"Big Brother's meant so much to me. I met my husband on this show. I have two beautiful kids because of it. I'm a winner of this game. I'm a legend. I feel like I let everyone down."

No you did not, Rachel Reilly. No you did not.

anyone defending the twist is hilarious. it’s not about it being an anti-rachel twist, it’s about it being an anti-big brother twist. this isn’t big brother #bb27

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it??

Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky πŸ“šπŸ’™

Defying DeSantis, Florida Pride Marchers Light Up Jacksonville Bridge with Rainbow Organizers demonstrated that they didn’t need state permission for queer visibility.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride.

So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels.

They opened the drawbridge to block them.

So they marched to a different bridge.

I think it’s incredibly irresponsible for them to keep sharing the picture of when she was pregnant with her first child. At first glance, it looks like she’s a lot farther along than she was (9 weeks)
