Whoa. Catholics wanna make it clear where they stand: "Vance’s twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity has been repudiated by two popes. His Catholicism seems to be little more than a political prop, a tool only for his career ambitions and desire for power." www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-...

I got through 98 books in 2025 (and DNFed 8 more). @thestorygraph.com tells me that’s 32,888 pages, but who really knows given how much I change the font size In 2026, I’m gonna attempt to DNF more often

Rather than leading with the data that “asylum seekers are more likely to be young men and young men are more likely to commit crime”, the Guardian chose to waffle and play the just asking questions game 😤 Ugh

It’s an unfortunately shitty bike, but the scenery is excellent And I’m keeping up knee rehab 💯

Copenhagen at Christmas is pretty magical. Of course, we need the decorations and hygge to sparkle our way through the greyness, short days, and forgetting what the sun actually looks like #DanishWinter #Copenhagen #KøbenhavnsRådhus #CopenhagenCityHall

It's Friday. The world is a scary place. I'm gonna follow my friend Kate's advice: "Lie [down] and simply breathe. In, out, in out." Kate's talking about disrupting behaviour patterns to increase creativity here, but her advice feels global katepainediscoveringmusic.substack.com/p/the-art-of...

Bloody delighted to see a piece from a favourite writer (& fellow Canadian) recommended by another of my favourite (although not Canadian) writers @irinadumitrescu.bsky.social's defense of picky eaters in @roxanegay.bsky.social's Nov 3 Audacious Roundup www.seriouseats.com/the-kid-is-a...

Local and regional #elections are coming up in #Denmark and it can be tough for internationals to know if they get to participate I made this flow chart to decipher who can vote... sadly, it's not me for a few years, but maybe this will encourage others to have their say! #democracy #valget2025

@drjengunter.bsky.social stating the obvious: "robust studies and regulations are what help ensure our medications are safe and effective" Although that's apparently not evident to the current US administration 🤦 vajenda.substack.com/p/natural-bi...

Not that I need an excuse for my brazen borrowing habits... I love taking things I might not like out of the library. Gives me permission to DNF whenever, exposes me to new stories, and demonstrates to politicians/funders/everyone that libraries really are necessary

Supporting cycling as a meaningful method of transport "means not just building lanes, but ... training the next generation of mechanics, technicians, and community educators." #Canada needs to officially recognize bicycle mechanics as a national occupation #CyclingCanada #BikeToWork

Hey #Alberta! The provincial gov is running survey about banning books in school libraries, with works by LGBTQ+ authors highlighted as examples of "disturbing graphic content" Take the survey by June 6 to prevent outsized impact from a vocal minority #abpoli www.alberta.ca/school-libra...

I so relate to the boredness of having so much distraction. About to follow Kate's suggestion and "Put on a song or a piece of music you know well and just listen, really listen." katepainediscoveringmusic.substack.com/p/the-music-...

A first-person account of the awfulness of public bathroom segregation. As Sandy says, it "is a public health emergency that disproportionately impacts trans and gender nonconforming people". And it's bloody well wrong. www.cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a6...

Relieved to see Canada, the UK and France upping the pressure: "If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response." Is it enough? No. But it's something www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

The danger of using AI for writing and creative work isn’t just job loss… it’s that it takes away the inner resources people need to survive hardship Fascinating read from @irinadumitrescu.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/irinadum...

Juno News is spinning the Carney/Trump meeting very differently than other outlets (aka media I actually trust). Apparently the orange man WALKS ALL OVER the #CanadianPM Has Candice Malcolm watched the same video the rest of the world has seen? Carney's face says it all

Anyone else horribly annoyed to get "A gentle reminder" the first time a directive is given? It's not a reminder if I'm hearing it for the first time!

What does this federal election mean for abortion rights and access? @abortionrightscan.bsky.social believes the consequences could be severe if the Conservative Party under Pierre Poilievre wins the election Vote like your rights depend on it!

Using Rogan and Jordan Peterson as a litmus test, I can’t understand how Poilievre seems like a reasonable choice 😬
