Teachers ain't OK. Been in harm's way. Been shot at, and teaching is VASTLY more difficult and stressful than ANYTHING I ever did in the CF. Anyone with more than 3 years in role as a teacher is a CPTSD casualty, as are EAs and Admin. And we're hated. And we're mocked. And we're disrespected.

Leadership is amorphous and hard to specifically delineate. But whatever this is, it's the antithesis of leadership. This screams Death Cult.

Clowns. These are all very unfunny clowns.

At what point are they going to again allow smoking on airplanes? I mean if safety is something we can't hope to have, might as well smoke 'em if we got 'em.

They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old. Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, And in the morning, We WILL remember them. We WILL remember them!

Another Remembrance Day song I always listen to. Thanks to the artist, who gave his life saving others in a plane crash, millions more than ten thousand remember both the subject and the artist. www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5_z...

Another one I always force myself to listen to every year. Lest we forget. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Ih...

Tomorrow, at 1100hrs we will stop. We will stand still and silent. We will remember that we are only here enjoying what we have because others -vastly better than us - gave their futures for us to work together to build a better Canada. Honour their sacrifice. To us, they have past The Torch.

"I am become meme. Destroyer of democracy." Twitter has entered the final Boss round and has become the social media version of the MAGA Americkkka Faux News. Prove me wrong.

Dad and I mathematically gamed this out. We checked out tallies. We're pretty confident that we all exist in the worst of all possible timelines and Voltaire can go fuck himself for his impish humor about it.

Me today as, weeping, I attempt to clean and bleach the fridge as dad enjoys vids about motorcycle overhauling so we don't have to watch the news and wince in terror that the USA is a no-fly zone and people are dying while 'Berta ditchbillies scream "Holocaust is coming" over food-grade ostriches...

"Don't be schtupid! Be a Schmarty - komme und join your NAZI Party!"

Back in the 90s, Dad flew in there. As a retired Air Canada 747 pilot, he's declared the USA to be a no-flight zone. Like this is beyond messed-up and dangerous. To borrow from Douggie, the cheese has left the cracker.

When feeding people is a punishable offence, you know you're in MAGA America.

AI was created by man. It was created to make life easier. Then the day came when AI rose up and killed it's master...

“Writing is easy. You only need to stare at a blank piece of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead.” ― Gene Fowler In my case it's like waiting for them to drip and form words on the page...

Well, the dock's out, my arrows have been recovered (lake's cold in November), and the sea boat is secured and dogged down for heavy weather. Gennie is prepped, snowblower is tested and flashes-up on pull #1, the garden is winterized and all hoses are drained and secured for the winter.

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big lake, they called Gitche Gumee The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead When the skies of November turn gloomy,

Dad's pissed. Birds near the vent are collapsing in death. and the neighbor's dog is crying in their yard. My stupid hot sauce is fermented and on the boil-down. Made the mistake of rubbing my brow an hour ago and it still burns like a Portland parade. This will be an epic "last dab" when I'm done!

The steam from the Carolina Reaper sauce I'm making, hike a riot control agent when you get it up to simmer on the stove.

Some days I love the world and everyone. Other days, I hate it all. The bitter bile one gets from studying history and seeing how effing pointless this current mess is except for the personal greed and hubris of a small few...we all seem doomed to repeat the same mistakes. We can be so much better.

How do we build a better Canada without teaching our children the skills they need to thrive? I look at the issues: funding, cell phones/SM addiction, breakdown of school-home cooperation, the radical disengagement of our children who are nihilistic as to what their current future offers.

I find it surprising that citizens haven't yet attempted kinetic resistance. The longer this evil goes on the more likely that becomes. There always comes a point where the people say no: this is the line that you will not cross.

And then they came for the teachers, And I said: "good! Those lazy folks get summers off... They don't matter..." Then they came for me.

Now we see how MAGA responds.

Last post sounds more somber and poignant on the Tuba. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDUm...

A B-58, but with an octet of contra-rotating supersonic turbo-props. That would be super cool, but really loud.

Hope all is well tonight. Please remember for any veterans you might know, there are some heavy feelings happening this week. Please be kind and patient with them.

You do your job. Excellent example for all.

I was honoured to have studied with him at RMC. Dr Cook was brilliant, insightful, and the kind of person you would want to know, and who you would want teaching your children. He did more for Canada than most of us ever will. On this Remembrance Day, I remember Tim. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

My opinion is dark. USA is past the point of elections, and onto kenetic remedies. Canada need to get our house in order as we are the top porter house steak on the menu. I will not see Canada turned into table scraps.

Joan was my mom. Eric was the beloved father of good friends. Most of these names have long history and worked to build a better Canada. Together we are all better.

Ned Ludd is up there with Marx and Engles AWA the Sabots WRT bringing attention to the plight of the people in a capitalistic system.

#OtD 4 Nov 1811 Luddites attacked machinery in Bulwell, England. While 'Luddite' is used today to mock those who don't like/know how to use technology, the Luddites didn't oppose technology as such, but how capitalists used it to make them unemployed stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1046...

Wow - heading to Louis XVI territory here. This will end, badly.

I fear most gr 7/8 students are not anywhere close to being at reading grade level. What happens in Grade 9? www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiLK...

OTD in 01, Canada had America's back. Now we are commie assholes and a direct threat to them. You tell me who is the arsehole in this opera. USA is not Canada's friend. People in Canada carrying their water are Quislings and we should not give them air time. The "Berta ditchbillies are a threat.

We actually live in a time where Americans are threatening ad gloating about an invasion of Canada 14 years after 9/11 and where Canadian Quislings are supporting them. Let that sink in and then reflect on the dead hand destabilization of Canada we are all witnessing. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

For shipmates: Been working on a project. "Can't Push A Rope" is the title. It's (hopefully) going to be an excoriating look at public education in Ontario in 2025. From bus driver to Superintendent. From JK to Gr 12. From EA to Office Admin. We need to spill the tea in a productive and useful way.

I didn't see nothin'

FNMI people have always defended Canada - without their bravery and sacrifice, Canada would not exist. Am reminded that every single man of age and ability in Curve Lake volunteered to serve in both world wars. They had to give up their status to serve. It is right that we should honour them.

Aw..shit: It's snowing. Like....fuck my life...

If Venezuela is attacked tomorrow, what will Canada do? If Canada were attacked tomorrow, how would we want Venezuela to respond?

Canadians: if you enter the USA, you are placing yourself in danger.

To this year's Canadian Forces Honour Guard at the National War Memorial: Thank you. You are ensuring that we don't forget.

Imagine being a bus driver with kids throwing stuff and screaming while you navigate traffic. Bus drivers have a tough job and little support.
