Relatable.

I like my job enough, I guess. I don’t love it so much that I would be heartbroken if I get laid off this fall.

Monday morning. Only 299 weeks to go until retirement. Time to get dressed and pull out that spreadsheet that helps me calculate how feasible it would be to leave at 60.

I’ll reach out to them! We tried working with Acorn back in the fall, but it didn’t go well.

The seniors don’t have money, but they have time and passion.

And big mouths, bless them.

And they’re not afraid to agitate for change.

Any leads?

My building has a lot of at-risk seniors who were afraid to raise a little hell when we started back in November, but we all now have momentum and we want to keep it going. Especially because if our property company ever decided to renovict us, many of them would have nowhere to go.

OK, #Ottawa people:
Our tenant committee has decided that we want to make anti-renoviction bylaws an issue in this fall’s municipal election. Is there anyone who would be interested in guiding a bunch of riled-up seniors on how to get this front & centre as an election issue?

I’m curious, @realfollowers.bsky.social …?

A million “thank you”s for the heads up. FWIW, the #12 bus is kind of messed up, too.

Is that…a Buc-ee swimsuit?

Honestly, how badly do you have to mess up to have the President of Iran defend the Pope?

Hungary admits it voted out Orbán just to see look on JD Vance's face BUDAPEST ― The Central European nation of Hungary celebrated the victory of Péter Magyar today, and specifically, the accompanying incredibly silly scowl it put on JD Vance’s already perpetually-silly...

Hungary admits it voted out Orbán just to see look on JD Vance’s face

J.D. Vance as Death going down a series of doors marked Pope Francis, Iran negotiations, Viktor Orban’s re-election and U.S. midterms.

Would JD have time to meet Poilievre for coffee sometime this week, I wonder?

omg

those astronauts who are parents?

THEY CAN LITERALLY TELL THEIR CHILDREN “I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK”

Elon Musk didn’t go to the moon.

Jeff Bezos didn’t go to the moon.

NASA went to the moon.

It's so nice to see a timeline of posts flooded with the same positive thing.

That whole thing was cool af.

The entire Artemis mission has been cool af.

Abolish ICE and give the money to NASA

Let’s be honest: commercial radio in Canada couldn’t care less about a fiftysomething broad with an electric guitar. But @candycane13.bsky.social , @dickaltavista.bsky.social , @cfbxradio.bsky.social, and @ckcufm.bsky.social did (among others!) and it’s time to fund community radio PROPERLY.

If you haven’t hear about the #CommunityRadioInitiative, you can learn more here about why it matters to Canadian campus and community radio, and generate a letter to submit to the above-mentioned federal authorities. (But only until Sunday!)
