Telus keeps getting worse year after year. We dumped them last year after they tried pulling all kinds of shenanigans with us.

There are many, many reasons these types of laws are idiotic, but chief among them has to be demanding the public hand over their IDs and personal information to social media companies - SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES, who have not exactly demonstrated a great track record for privacy and safety.

The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality of others living in the country as bad than good.

Canada is on the opposiite end of the spectrum--they overwhelmingly see their neighbors as morally good

Book 36. I’m pretty stingy with 5 star ratings but I super enjoyed this one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book 35. I have to admit that some of this was hard to hear. Some reforms that seem like common sense just don’t seem to work in real life. Challenging but brilliant read from @jenniferdoleac.bsky.social.

Was wondering when the first @anilseth.bsky.social reference would appear. Before the ToC apparently.

Book 33. I went into this one in order to find more productive ways to work with some challenges at work. What I also found was a reflection in the mirror that I didn’t love. Lots of self-work to do.

Book 32. I should have walked away, but I powered through it. I will not be returning to Hyperion.

I skimmed the last 5 chapters of Return and it still felt like a slog. Looking forward to better reads. Any faves you’d recommend?

Just finishing Fall of Hyperion. It’s a short story buried in 1000 pages. I’m a completionist but don’t think I’ll be finishing the trilogy.
