What on Earth is Melania Trump thinking? | Arwa Mahdawi

Can't wait for Calgary to catch up and do something authentic to itself like this work from Pegasus Opera Company in the UK. pegasusoperacompany.org/pegasus-oper...

The Artemis II astronauts received a thunderous welcome home Saturday from hundreds who took part in NASA’s lunar comeback.

Yes! Tell them, Dr. Jemison. 👏🏾👩🏾‍🔬🚀🌑

I watched splash down sitting beside a Black woman scientist. I'm a Black woman engineer. We literally held hands and willed the capsule safely to the water. 🚀🌑👏🏾🇨🇦 Artemis II you captured my heart, soul, and mind. Thank you. 🙏🏾

After swooping around the moon, viewing an eclipse, breaking an Apollo distance record and testing out a space toilet, NASA's Artemis II mission is about to return to Earth. Here's what the astronauts must face to make it safely home.

The 2026 Calgary Youth Science Fair is underway at the University of Calgary.

In the ongoing saga of my condo board, my PHEV, and my EV charger, I am having an EMS (energy management system) installed. I went with Canadian made technology. The master electrician brought an apprentice with him, too. 🚗🔌⚡️ rve.ca/en/dcc-solut...

Breaking News: A former NYPD sergeant was sentenced to at least three years in prison for the killing of a man he hit with a cooler in 2023.

Local man & antagonist, Larry Heather, was back in court in December 2025. He lost, again. canlii.ca/t/kk1wm c.c.: @calgary.ca, @drkristopherwells.bsky.social, @queermomentum.ca

Well, I didn’t have “threaten the first American Pope in history” on my “what crazy shit will Persimmon Palpatine do next” bingo card but here we are. Trump THREATENED THE POPE.

Was literally thinking this same thing. My first thought was is Marilyn Gladu a mole? (I watch too many spy dramas.) Then I thought, no, give her back, Mark Carney, that's not a gift man. (Seriously, not every floor crosser should be welcomed.) Then I went to maybe I gotta go, I'm misaligned. Sigh.

Disappointing. City council, full of dudes, makes a decision to repeal a housing plan that served everyone, for no plan at all. Of course, no GBA+ analysis will be completed on the hearing, decision, or forward plans, if they are ever developed. Bunch of dudes just secured their voting base instead.

⤵️💥

Imagine this cheat sheet with pictures and red yarn lines between them all like the po po used to do in the olden days. They call them crime boards for a reason...

Umm, @mark-carney.bsky.social, MP Marilyn Gladu isn’t a good one. You might want to give her back to the Conservatives or suggest she sit as an independent. Remember what she said about the trucker convoy? Remember when she asked for 'Christian Heritage' month? Remember when she ran for CPC leader?

Well, just so we're all clear, war crimes are defined in law. We have no need to ask, "well Biff, do you think this might be a war crime?" It is. Full stop. Govern yourselves accordingly. www.justice.gc.ca/eng/cj-jp/wc...

Pattern? Justice Minister Mickey Amery limited an Elections Alberta investigation related to Sam Mraiche. The UCP refused to extend the term of Auditor General Doug Wylie who is investigating Mraiche. UCP also refused to fully cooperate with Wylie, and the inquiry of former Judge Raymond Wyant.

NEWS: A group of Edmonton lawyers are asking Alberta’s justice minister to direct an investigation into the city’s police chief and the service’s top lawyer over their controversial intervention in a child homicide case. edmontonjournal.com/news/crime/a...

Quote: "“When a judge finds the conduct of a police service to be so improper that it becomes relevant to sentencing, the matter can no longer be dismissed as a communications misstep or a difference of opinion. It becomes a governance issue. It becomes a question of fitness for leadership.”" 💥

Yes, this. Uncomfortable and unsightly does not equal unsafe. Quote: "When bourgeois eyes watch the street, however, they often see danger in poverty."

Quote: "Alberta Justice Minister Mickey Amery shortened the amount of time Elections Alberta has to penalize political finance violations while his friend and relative Sam Mraiche was under investigation by the regulator..." Amery should chat to Ellis about correctional services, jail, in Alberta.

A text from my uni-aged daughter today:

Oh, yes. Of course. Michigan trying to give me a small coronary like they did in 1993. Christ on a bike.

Colonel Jeremy Hansen just keeps smiling like nothing happened. Absolute model human. Amazing. 🙏🏾🇨🇦 Can't escape the trauma inflicted by the US president even in deep space. 🚀🌑 Thank goodness Canada recruits better astronauts than the USA elects presidents. www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronau...

Now over to NCAA Div 1. Michigan. Please.

Oh Blue Jays. This is not fun.

When you're parking at the Arthur Child Cancer Centre in Calgary at Foothills Medical Centre, just slow down, chill out & have a bit of grace. Everyone that enters that building is dealing with cancer. Some of us are taking meds on which we shouldn't even be driving. We're not okay. No one is ok.🙏🏾

The ranks of tailors, dressmakers and custom sewers are shrinking in the U.S. even as their skills and services are finding fresh demand.

Remember that time when ICE shot a man as he fled into his home and then claimed he beat an agent with a snowshovel? And we were all like "you're lying"? They were lying www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/u...

France has sold off the last of its gold held in the US Federal Reserve and now holds all its gold in Paris. German groups are now pressuring the government to repatriate its own gold.

Easter Monday self-care. ✅️👏🏾

Thank you, BBC. 📺👏🏾

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'" These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now. Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

Earned. Thank you to my local, High Line Brewing. 🍺

Ran into @jceci.bsky.social & his wife doing groceries. After hugs & health check-ins (Joe was one of the first outside my family that knew about my cancer diagnosis) we decided that I will be establishing a Little Free Library exclusively stocked with all the books the UCP thinks are dirty. 🤣

It's Holy Saturday for this church lady. Most of you have been led to believe that the glory and splendor of the risen Christ comes from God. Sort of. It also comes from church ladies who clean, polish, arrange flowers, and perform an abundance of other miracles to make Easter, well, Easter. 🧵

Long read. Quote: "...three of the most important and misunderstood elements of King’s mature thought: his analysis of racism; his political theory of direct action and civil disobedience; and his understanding of the place of ethical virtues in activism and social life."

“Arguing that grooming and statutory rape were normal in the ’90s, so they should get a pass now, is harmful. Not just to victims, but also to the progress we are making in protecting girls and women.” www.essence.com/lifestyle/br...

dear fellow AB wokes Looks like 'flood the zone' will cease 'til the Leg resumes April 13. Time to regroup. And especially time to dig in to 2 things: (1) the corrosive bills 25 & 28 (education & libraries), & (2) the report of the electoral boundaries commission We need to be heard #ableg #abpoli

Feel like I need to start a fund in Calgary. I'll collect money & buy copies of all the books the UCP hates by queer authors from independent bookstores like @shelflifebooks.bsky.social and just give them to young people as gifts. Like all the young people at church, they'd all get books from me.
