I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
FKA Twigs reads a letter about feeling the societal pressure on women to be ‘nice’, but being secretly furious about it.
This strong #CupOfJoe goes to all women who know that being nice isn’t what gives you value. It’s living your truth.

A little throwback from Canada’s men hockey team after winning the 4 Nations Faceoff last year.
This is how it is done. With class and without demeaning anyone. What a concept. 🤷🏽♂️

Trump's dictatorship coup is now fully in the open. Wake up America.
Agreed.
Take the tunnel! I’d drive outta my way to keep the Marouns from getting any more of my money. Trying to stop the #GordieHoweBridge from opening, at the 11th hour. Greedy bastards. #ElbowsUp #BoycottUSA #BuyCanadian #Never51 #Windsor

Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: “You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.” The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.
For the record, this is the America that Canadians love and admire. We hope you find your way out of the darkness soon. 🇨🇦♥️🇺🇸
Hearing Harper sincerely calling for national unity while Smith and Poilievre go full Maple MAGA scheming for Alberta independence gave me chills.
It was very similar to hearing old Republicans speaking against MAGA early on.
We need to be careful Canada.
Very careful.
Don’t give them an inch.

Pay attention Canadians.
The CPC had a chance to ditch Poilievre and move back to more rational politics.
Instead, they decided to keep him and move their policies even closer to MAGA.

Michael Che on SNL: "I get that I.C.E. Agents are people, allegedly. And they have a job to do. But at some point, while you're pepper spraying old ladies or shooting at a nurse, do you ever stop and ask yourself, are we dicks?"
They counted the bullet holes instead of performing CPR
Please do not refer to this "Board of Peace" as a UN-like entity.
It is a Mar-a-Lago Club / Rose Garden Club inspired membership with ONE person collecting fees, ONE person being in charge with neither citizens nor leaders having ANY say about anything.
Let's keep our heads on a swivel. Please.
This is truly a flashback to late 1930's Germany

There should be clear and harsh repercussions against PoiLIEvre for extending congratulatory praises to the US on behalf of the Canadian government like it is the country’s official position. He has no rights to speak on behalf of our government or Canadians for that matter.

JAMES MERRILL CHRISTMAS TREE From loes torn hamin Had been fed, looked after, kept still, Meant, I knew— of course I knew - That it would be only a matter of weeks, That there was nothing more to do. Warmly they took me in, made much of me, The point from the start was to keep my spirits up. I could assent to that. For honestly, It did help to be wound in jewels, to send Their colors flashing forth from vents in the deep Fragrant sables that cloaked me head to foot. Over me then they wove a spell of shining — Purple and silver chains, eavesdripping tinsel, Amulets, milagros: software of silver, A heart, a little girl, a Model T Two staring eyes. Then angels, trumpets, BUD and BEA (The children's names) in clownlike capitals, Somewhere a music box whose tiny song Played and replayed I ended before long By loving. And in shadow behind me, a primitive IV To keep the show going. Yes, yes, what lay ahead Was clear: the stripping, the cold street, my chemicals Plowed back into the Earth for lives to come — No doubt a blessing, a harvest, but one that doesn't bear, Now or ever, dwelling upon. To have grown so thin. Needles and bone. The little boy's hands meeting About my spine. The mother's voice: Holding up wonderfully! No dread. No bitterness. The end beginning. Today's Dusk room aglow For the last time With candlelight. Faces love-lit, Gifts underfoot. Still to be so poised, so Receptive. Still to recall, to praise.
James Merril’s poem “Christmas Tree,” written while he was dying of AIDS. 1995.
