the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

"There's not enough warning" - speed limit sign - flashing light up sign that tells you how fast you are going and says SLOW DOWN - sign that says "speed camera coming soon" - sign that says "speed camera in use"

You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation

We are focused on the wrong 1%

if you don’t want trans girls to have muscle mass let them transition at the same age their peers start puberty. problem solved

Can you imagine getting three people fired because you didn’t like that a prof said there are more than two genders?! In a university course?!

Serious question - when did it become acceptable to talk on the phone while using a public washroom?

No, you've stayed in bed for most of two days reading smutty vampire novels in an attempt to delay back to school from happening through sheer denial. #edusky #onted

Fuck the air show.

Last blast of summer at a friend's cottage. Hummingbirds and the sound of the waves on the rocks.

Holy. Shit. @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social This book is fucking brilliant. I need to get my hands on a physical copy so I can loan it out to all the parents in my spec ed kindergarten. Autistics and ARFID folks - go get this book!!

So my adult kid has been reading Jared Diamond and enjoying it, but since I raised a critical thinker, he's feeling like the old white dude might not have the broadest perspective. Seeking book recommendations that tackle similar themes from a more intersectional approach. #books #iso

I don't even know how to find it? Like Im assuming its a website and yeah Im sure you Google it but nope no idea

Do we think the Liberal party women in leadership will ever notice how content the PMO is to let them take all the blame? Hajdu, Anand, Freeland, Caesar-Chavannes, Wilson-Raybould… I would not be so eager to take the mic.

Worked for me too. HWORK! *yeet*

An explanation of why I haven't been active on social media for quite a while.... And I'm so sorry i haven't been. I've just had to prioritize, and focus life down to a smaller number of core activities.

Finding it interesting that suddenly when a MAGA doesn’t want to be in legal trouble it’s a “20 week fetus” and not an “unborn child”.

new england reactionaries using “open air drug use” to evoke people shooting up when they mean people smoking weed is the shittiest new dog whistle, I hate it so much

ETFO AGM is DEEEEEP in the weeds of Roberts Rules today. #edusky

How easy is it to fudge your scientific rank? Meet Larry, the world’s most cited cat www.science.org/content/arti... "More than 130 citations in 4 years." Meow, Larry! Oh wait. “All you have to do is put some fake papers on ResearchGate.” And buy citations. Critical: Let's clean up research!

Hands down Orson Scott Card. I still think Enders Game is a great novel to hand to teens. Hate his gradual roll back to Mormon cult behaviour

Hey #kidkit #booksky, for several years there was an annual thing. It was called picture book 8for8 or 8in8 and it was themed picture book recommendations. I can't find it and I don't know if it's still happening and I got so many good recommendations from it. Help?

I clearly don’t ride TTC often enough. There are usb charging ports on the bus?!

But qualified teachers can't get hired onto the occasional teacher list. Follow the money. $142 a day for an ERP, or $240 a day for a qualified teacher. #onted #edusky

You would think JUST ONCE by the laws of probability if he was doing this all as a giant distraction, that ONE of those distractions would be like… a basket of kittens. If literally every single distraction is a basket of kitten HEADS, that’s not a distraction, it’s him being Skeletor.

Name a boomer-esque opinion that you secretly hold. Amplified music ruins the park/beach. I came here to listen to the waves and birds, not your shitty Spotify playlist.

Sometimes you just need a rainbow colouring to-do list to get you going.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

I was a Contact Tracing Practitioner with NHS Scotland. Schools were (and are) the primary drivers of Covid transmission. We *were not permitted* to flag school settings as High Risk.

excellent eavesdropping moment there walking past two inebriated fiftysomething geordie radgie guys gazing into the window of a cat cafe and comprehending the concept (“the fuckin cats just sit on the fuckin tables like??” “d’y bring your own fuckin cat??”)

He was just out this way the other day sticking lampreys on his arms

To be clear: the more deranged your child’s question about sharks is, the more excited I am to try to answer it. 🧪🦈

Councillor Gord Perks points out the city co-located a childcare centre with a shelter at a Fort York facility. "Have you had problems as a result of that?" Perks asks staff. "No," say staff.

"What's the cost to the city of saying no today?" Councillor Bravo wonders. Shelters GM Gord Tanner says these purpose-built shelters can run at about half the cost of a shelter hotel. "Every month that we do not build and open one of these shelters, we lose $280,000 in operating efficiencies."
