Important perspective from Greenland.

wild that a mental health call can have a "suspect"

godddd every time I look at the news its somehow stupider, it's all so so stupid oh my god why are we cursed to live in these dumbest of times

something big is happening

This is my ethical framework in a nutshell: If we cannot achieve what we want without compromising the human rights of a class of people, we deserve to fail. Slavery drove centuries of massive economic growth. It deserved to fail.

Guys, I'm happy to stipulate that the Poilievre Conservatives are the worst choice. I voted Liberal in 2025 to avoid them too. But the threat of an immoral government doesn't mean having an amoral one is a good thing.

It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

any woman who thinks she can dismiss the extraordinary advances of the feminist movement and still enjoy rights and freedoms like owning her own house, having her own credit cards, not being sexually assaulted by her spouse, having any rights to her children, voting, working in the professions,

Really irritated that I am consistently asked to get the Christmas gifts that involve a lot of physical and mental labour and I'm going to put the kibosh on that next year

Astrology is fake but Virgos have a really, really hard time letting things go and it's ruining this Virgo's evening
