Did 3 escape rooms at the Escaparium in Laval, outside Montreal. The wardrobe was one of the best escape rooms I had done and The Voodoo Queen was just as good.
But the 2.5 hour Magnifico was worlds beyond anything else. 3 live actors. Amazing set pieces. Well set up puzzles. Truly the […]
At a restaurant outside of Montreal and it has 3 TVs all playing different episodes of some hidden camera show that has a new skit every 30 seconds. Non stop without commercials.
It’s Opening Day.
A day for optimism, however foolish and misguided.
(For a Mets fan, it is usually very misguided.)

Watching Opening Day for the Mets while on my lunch break at work and this is pretty enjoyable so far. ❤️ I miss GKR though!
My internet went down right at the end of the horrific Gotham game so I don't even get to watch the after game hugging.

"Sí se puede" is a call to action used by unions, activist groups around the world, and even Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.
Dolores Huerta created that motto.
My heart aches for the pain she silently endured while devoting her life to the advancement of farm workers' rights and civil rights.
I am going to need some Gotham/Mets crossover merch to drag myself out to Queens on a weekday in the summer.
I realized today that the distance between my house and the house my dad lived in means that when I hit the Jon Bon Jovi rest stop on the Parkway, I am quite literally halfway there.
Statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar on Trump’s Illegal War on Iran “President Trump is unilaterally dragging this nation into an illegal and unjustified war with Iran without congressional authorization, without a clear objective, and without any imminent threat to the United States. This is a reckless abuse of power that puts both innocent civilians and American lives on the line for a conflict the American people do not want. “As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability. Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.
“We know who will bear the cost of this decision: innocent civilians caught in the crossfire and our young service members sent into harm’s way. This is the devastating human toll of another regime-change war. Already, children and families are paying with their lives. There is no moral or strategic justification for this bloodshed. “The American people are exhausted by endless wars built on false promises and paid for with American and foreign lives. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority. We must vote immediately on the War Powers resolution authored by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. This unlawful operation must end immediately."
so in conclusion, the state of the union is actually very bad because a man who tried to end democracy is using the government to personally enrich himself and his buddies while executing citizens and noncitizens alike
Still remember the feeling of watching the Dawson's Creek pilot at age 15, on the phone with my friend Scott. And the appointment viewing of Season 4 with my freshman floormates.
Godspeed, James Van Der Beek. Grateful for your spirit, humor, and grace.
We’re going to destroy this fucking disease one day. I know it. Let’s make it happen.
If you haven't had the chance to see The Librarians yet, catch Kim Snyder’s powerful documentary when it premieres February 9 on Independent Lens on PBS.

[Mr. Mamdani] was “very excited to see so much enthusiasm about using the resources of the public library.” 😍
I looooved All the Blues in the Sky!!!! I read so few books that were eligible for these awards but a few of my favorites won or were honored and I am delighted.
Candace Fleming winning two lifetime achievement awards in the same year is kind of funny but also extremely well deserved.
I loved Sisters in the Wind and especially Song of a Blackbird. #printz
Great day for Candace Fleming! #alaymaawards
Woo hoo! Jewel Parker Rhodes! #alaymaawards
This is what 7 House Democrats voted with Republicans to fund. This is what Hakeem Jeffries didn't whip votes against. This is what Gavin Newsom said *wasn't* fascism.
Anyone who doesn't commit to abolishing ICE should lose their job.
bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

Abolish ICE. Destroy their weapons and melt down their equipment. Deny their agents, employees, and bosses all government employment for all time. Remove the agency entirely from the budget and give the money to public libraries and free health care.

NJ has been crystal clear, we will not capitulate to authoritarianism.
Gov Murphy, I ask again, please sign the 3 bills of the Immigrant Protections package, as is, no changes.
What if he invades Minnesota
For anyone interested in knowing more about her life, the YA biography Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice by Phillip Hoose is excellent.
U.S. citizen detained by ICE:
“…they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any…or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”
I went through a movie buff phase around 25 years ago but barely watch any now. Every time I watch an awards show I think that I should put more effort in.
