Beautiful & true.
The full speech -- with intro -- is posted at youtu.be/y4r2unSTYI8?t=5571 (timestamp 1:32:51).
I'm RTing Pritzker because the first version I saw did not credit him. #bekind ... it's apparently 🧠! 😄

Ah, the blessings of the cursed.
Shane McGowan’s torrid and mighty voice is mud and roses punched out with swaggering stagger, ancient longing that is blasted all to hell. A Bard’s bard, may he cast his spell upon us all forevermore.
Ukrainians are knocking the ball out of the part on the psyops side of things. Sure, it's propaganda, but it's well-made propaganda on the side of right. (Too bad they reversed the video of the RCAF CC-177 at 0:15, but we'll forgive them)

Under the @CPC_HQ logic, all of us that served in the Canadian Armed Forces in the Maritime (navy) or Air side, between Feb 1968 and Aug 2011 and not a day before or after had our service "Wiped away" when the CPC gov brought back "Royal"
43 years of Canadian History, just gone.
Canadian symbols, our shared history (good & bad) and our institutions matter. Wiping them away and offering only an insipid view of Canadian identity will only deepen divisions and fuel indifference.

My friend Michael, in the news story below, was "not actually dying." But every moment was agony.
I watched him hang on for years after any desire to live was gone.
I hugged his wife on Saturday. She's so glad he's not suffering any more.
Please #bekind.

A cautionary tale:
Guess which half of this macaroni portrait involved careful placement ...
& which half involved dumping handfuls in a desperate race against the clock. 😱
(I do like how the shading on the shoulder turned out like a skeletal hand, tho!) #gish #gish2022 @gish
Thought I'd share some creative work I've done to contribute to a online virtual scavenger hunt called "GISH". ( gish.com/ ) @Millinillion3K3 leads the charge every year to participate in GISH and it's a chaotic, fun, explosion of creativity.
The idea is you create or do items on a scavenger hunt list. This item is called, "How will it end?"

📢URGENT APPEAL
I'd so much appreciate your help, to make life safer for #disabled and #LGBTQIA+ people, who are among the most at risk in #Ukraine right now. See pic.

A tribute to the unstoppable Sarah Thompson. 🤩

She set Canadian records in the 100m, 3000m, long jump, discus, javelin & shot put in the Blind Masters Division, & won a gold medal in power weightlifting at the 1991 World Championship for the Blind. She was inducted into the Canadian Disability Hall of Fame in 2000, at the age of 82 -- and was still competing internationally.

Pic from y'day.
That's @albinokid of @StarTrekNetflix on my L. He was SO kind. Including reading my d20 rolls, 'cause -- tho it's a great souvenir -- the die's super fancy + I didn't bring glasses. THANKS Anthony! ❤️❤️
Tshirt = much-too-large chainmail.
Video link soon I hope.
OK, I just watched this excellent intro to D&D, by @sherlock_hulmes:

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, denies it’s a duck, demands you prove it's a duck, accuses you of being a duck, says your dog is a duck, that your friend's cat is a duck & that all 3 'ducks' are Russophobic ducks paid to be crisis actors, it’s a Kremlin duck 🦆

It hurts to be thankful that our son (now a teen) got autism therapy while it was funded in Ontario. Kids today get a $5K cheque (soon gone, IF you can find care). 600 kids now in service; 52K waiting ... as doors close. Please remember them, in the June election. #onpoli 💔😢
3 years ago @fordnation claimed he wanted to #clearthewaitlist for #Autism services in #Ontario Then it had 23,000 children on it. Today the waitlist has ballooned to over 52,000. #onpoli #50KIsNotOk #AutismDoesntEndAtFord
