I did buy this pin. Now I need a pin that says “wait, I see a pin about seeing rocks”

"women only watch baseball for the hot players" listen, I can admit Ernie Clement is a snack as much as the next girl, but if you think that snack is enough to sit in the Rogers Centre for seven hours to watch my team lose on a home run from Brendan Little in the 18th, you need your head checked

I had mumps when I was a kid. It was so painful, I refused to move. My mom and dad had to carry me around while I was in the plank position.

If there IS something different about “western civilization” or “white culture” from other “civilizations and cultures, we need to flush it down the toilet.

gift link. this woman. my god. not to coin a phrase or anything, but this is what a feminist looks like

I don’t know who need to hear this, but you’re mermazing.

There are introverts, extroverts and a crazy third kind of person who invites a friend whom she loves over tea and proceeds to stress about it all week and worries about cleaning and socializing and then has a lovely time with the friend. I’m that one.

“To love another person is to see the face of God” One the most insidious things the anti-immigration voices have done is reduced immigrants to their economic output. And so I hear myself wanting to say “but this person does XYZ”. No, they’re people who are intrinsically deserve respect and dignity

So out of a class of 30 kids, my 9 year old got about 7 Valentines cards today. I am filled with rage and ready to give her anything she might want tonight.

I told my kids there’s something worse than a song stuck in your head: a word stuck in your head. I told them I had the word “Fibonacci” stuck in my head. So my 13 yo searched if there was a song called “Fibonacci” and there was and we listened to it and I got it stuck in my head. I am now insane.

Being a full-blown racist should disqualify you from becoming the leader of a nation.

Oh yay, my watch says I had a perfect week in….standing.

Part of being a part of being a parent to a nearly-ten-year-old is getting “Touch” by Katseye in your head and the sooner you accept that the better.

Signed.

It's so rare and you have to get so lucky to have your team's guy sound like baseball. We're so lucky to have been able to listen to him for as long as we did. An absolute legend and a joy to get to hear him call a World Series run. We'll miss him and Jays games just won't sound right going forward.

Call me woke and annoying, but I TRULY do not see how you could support the Dodgers as a fan after this. And yes, I'd say this about the Blue Jays if they'd won and made the same choice. I don't give a fuck about team loyalty. Talk to the Epstein files about it. www.latimes.com/sports/dodge...

This is an important point. Empathy—in and of itself—is anti-fascist. The arts—and the project of higher education as a whole—teach empathy, enabling you to put yourself in other people’s shoes. So to a fascist, they must be destroyed.

Please, please enough with the "commonsense" this and the "commonsense" that. What does that even mean? When the two political parties can't agree on ANYTHING, there's no "common" anything, let alone "sense".

I’m not saying I need these earrings, but do I want these earrings?

Trying to channel the vibes of this ice cube this morning that was throwing his hands up in the air and waving them like he just didn’t care.

What it lacked in warmth it made up for in beauty.

The truth of this brings tears of frustration and rage to my eyes.

In addition, Trump demands that the Diary of Anne Frank be changed to: The Diary of Donald Trump and Anne Frank.

This snow is hurting my feelings. It took me over an hour to take my 13 yo to school today. It should have taken about 12 minutes. This city is not ready to be functional after 60 cms of snow in one day.

Just objectively way too much snow here in Toronto.

The calm before the storm

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

Trump knows Carney spanked him at Davos and is now having a predictable petty despotic meltdown. But what he will never understand is that in doing so he is proving the points Carney made in his landmark speech.

This as nothing to do with China and everything to do with Trump being BIG MAD that Carney's speech was better than his. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

Welcome back to #FossilFriday Here is quite a large solitary rugose (horn) coral belonging to the taxa Grewingkia canadensis. This specimen was collected from the Upper Ordovician Whitewater (upper cincinnatian series) Formation in Indiana.

The Highway of Heroes, a stretch of the 401 that runs through Ontario where fallen Canadian soldiers were driven along after their remains were returned to Canada at CFB Trenton.

This evening invoked killing a spider on the ceiling of my 9 year-old’s room with a sword from medieval times - which my 9yo insisted I light up for the task. I do feel badly for the poor spider whose last moments were so weird.

Oh damn… it sounded so good and totally legit too

If you’re looking for a sunrise pic from me, that’s probably never going to happen, but here’s a a pic of a nice sky sometime after the sun rose lol (I am not a morning person).

YES THAT'S WHAT MANY OF US HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS AND THATS WHY WE DON'T USE IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

After the World Trade Center was attacked (just four miles from Trump Tower), more than 40,000 Canadians in uniform fought alongside their U.S. allies in Afghanistan. More than 2,000 Canadians were wounded. These 158 didn't make it home. And now this guy is giving lectures on gratitude.

Avoiding all coverage of Bo joining the Mets. I just can’t with that today.

Anyone else feel like this Raptors slogan is particularly meaningful lately?

It's inevitable, you simply must adapt to it and use it, you have no choice, but also please use it more or it's going to die

I'm old enough to remember when the leader of Canada's official opposition party congratulated Trump for invading a country last week.

In a speech to the World Economic Forum, Mark Carney says middle powers such as Canada must accept that the rules-based international order is effectively dead, and great power rivalry with is here to stay. Key excerpt:

This post to Truth Social requires an immediate response from the international community and either impeachment or invocation of the 25th amendment by Congress. Republicans, you are sleepwalking the world towards an entirely preventable catastrophe.

It’s an unforgivable crime to suggest that my teen wear warm mittens on a -25 wind chill day. Just absolutely awful suggestion on my part.

I'm not smart or knowledgeable enough to offer commentary on whether Carney's moves on the China file are good or bad, wise or unwise; but I am smart and knowledgeable enough to know if Pierre Poilievre were PM we'd all be rockin' American licence plates by 2027.

I’m very proud of my dog-nephew who now prefers to eat lying upside down whilst his owners drop meat into his mouth.
