There is nothing that is *that* "niche" that I know of. That said, I have my list...
- Due South
- Once a Thief
- This is Wonderland
- Kolchak
- Space: 1999
- Cracked (crime drama set in Toronto)
- Taking the Falls
- Intelligence (spy/crime drama set in Vancouver)
Last re-skeet: Insulin. SSRIs. Blood pressure medication. There are so many—so many—reasons to take ongoing medication that are worth it. "Lifelong patient"? That’s the point.
A long goddamn life.
I recently created this cover for Space Ghost Annual this year! Love the book, glad they asked!
Amen.

The International Society for Long COVID and Post-Acute Infections Syndrome Society are holding a conference in Amsterdam this year. Let's keep fighting together to make a difference for longhaulers!

Just some of the services outside of mailing service Canada Post provides.
Money transfers, STAPLES services, rentable meeting rooms, EV charging, access to local biz, secure package drop off …
In rural and remote regions, these services are being made accessible to ALL CANADIANS. #CUPW
This is another reason why I like indoor life.
The Canada Post Act has to be amended, then.
My advice to the federal govt.: stop trying to run the post office as a for-profit business, and resume running it as a public service division.
Sad news indeed.
After Condé Nast's decision to close SELF, I spoke to chronically ill women about what the women's health site meant to them.
"We have to acknowledge chronic illness as a politically, culturally, and socially marginalized category"

In the early months of the Pandemic-in-Progress, Canada gave C$2000/month to most - sadly not all - people who asked. For eight months, no taxes taken off at source.
We managed to stave off a Depression, I think, with that move alone.
I agree with you.
What she's saying:
The post office - #CanadaPost - must be legislated to resume operating as a public service rather than a for-profit business. That's the solution.

How much profit did every Public Transit system make? How much profit did the water & sewage departments make in each city? How much profit did the Canadian military make? #cdnpoli

I don't get it either. Feds recognize the Day. Ontario only allows for "until noon and then get back to it!"
Respirator masks in packages
Imagine for a moment, if people wore N95 respirators for a week, or a month, and the state encouraged it?
In a coordinated fashion, airborne disease would take a tumble every year. It wouldn't just be performative yet important like donning a poppy for a couple weeks. It would save lives.
We're still going through COVID Hell.

COVID vaccines are tied to less hospital care, long COVID, and economic burden.
A large study in Germany shows lower hospitalization, all-cause death rates, and health care costs in vaccinated people.

Amplifying in case there's anything helpful #Canada and Canadians can do for these deportees.
"We are pleased to share more than 125,000 U.S. Supreme Court records and briefs. These materials which span nearly two centuries of American law are now freely accessible online."
"Includes records and briefs spanning cases from 1830 through 2019."
It’s not often I get to report good news, so we’re going to take some time to do that today — because @theonion.com officially has a deal to take over Alex Jones’ InfoWars.
Their plan? To turn it into a parody of itself.
It’s going to be so good:
One hour a week will be enough, if Colbert's interested and available.
Meanwhile, we still have people actively working to further enshittify public transit.
These Pandemic-in-Progress years are still turning out to be traumatic in ways too many of us don't want to admit, let along discuss.
