I can’t even fathom this family's nightmare. 😭
A 12 year old child is still fighting for her life — even if she survives this, she may never fully recover.

Remember the children

Keep Maya in your thoughts and prayers.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

"I will sign no sausage, Senator. My fate will be no different from that of my people."

Journalist Georgia Fort has been released from custody (video @fox9mn.bsky.social)

MURDERER!
ARREST, CONVICT, & PROSECUTE!
We all saw what you did
Jonathan Ross...GUILTY of cold blooded murder
Say her name!
RENE NICOLE GOOD!
A MOTHER!

Agreed.

About nothing...or about everything
My family has been in Canada since before it was Canada. A Frenchman arrived here on a ship from France and kidnapped and married an Algonquin girl in 1536, and I'm pissed off at him and sad for her. That's my origine. I also had a Mik Ma'q great-grandmother.

C'est plus drôle en anglais, je trouve. On est vraiment cru dans nos expressions au Québec.

This is one thing I'm good at. I think I like direction. Sometimes I hesitate and having edits helps me go all in.

I just passed by a few TD Banks, and those parking lots are absolutely full. Canada is going #ElbowsUP against the CEO of ScotiaBank.

Canadians want Canada-owned AND morally/ethically sound business.

Same, tbh

My cat can be like this too. Best sedate him first

Good night, Joyce.

Gander says it's best to hang out here.
Bluesky isn't censoring as much as Meta.

French expressions translated into English:

J'ai une crotte su'l coeur.

Literal translation:
I have a turd on my heart.

lol

Meaning: Something has been bothering me for a while now and I'm about to share.
