I hate it here.

ASD and ADHD are not "caused" by anything.

Neurodivergent kids and adults are beautiful and important thinkers and creators.

And this announcement today -- where he can't even pronounce the name of the med -- is a witch hunt against pregnant people and neurodivergent folks.

I'm no Moore defender, but he did issue a statement this afternoon urging vaccination

There have been more documented cases of measles in the Ontario in the last 2 weeks (over 200) than there has been across this entire past decade.

Who needs reality when THE TRAITORS finale restores your faith in morality and humanity

The "buy Canada" thing is a little trite considering the collapse of democracy and the full stop hatred of equity is ~~~ everything everywhere all at once ~~~

I'm so tired of being scared all the time

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

To recap: 4 plane crashes in 3 weeks in North America; measles on the rise; Botulism recall; cancer research halted; HIV drugs pulled worldwide; anti-depressants under attack. Here we are, seemingly "on track" to making America healthy again. Timestamp it.

Unsurprisingly, the Canadian groundhog disagrees with his American counterparts this morning who did indeed see their shadows

Historians are really extra not okay right now

Truly feels like wartimes because I guess it is.

There are some very Bad Things that will come out of this trade war, and getting me back on these websites, scrolling and refreshing for headlines and other news is one of those Bad Things.

May this trade war (and the realization that the US is in the hands of fascists) remind the Canadian electorate that we don’t want or need this garbage here.

Vote accordingly.

Who wrote the part of the script where Trump's inauguration takes place on Blue Monday? It's too on the nose!

I just put a hold in the TPL and I put in an order in Queen Books for Parable of the Sower. You're right -- can't be much worse than real life

For 2025, I feel like the library (like, all libraries) should get more copies of Octavia's EARTHSEED trilogy, because damn, we're all needing it
