Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW β€œWe’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

It's lovely. And ... different? So many images I see focused on "spring" are green & bright. This one reminds me strongly of the mucky, murky drab of late March (in eastern Ontario, at least); it's a colour palette borrowed by all the filthy, dying snow banks on the sides of the roads

A screenshot of Google's AI Overview answer to the question "is haggis an animal". It says "Yes, the haggis is a small, furry mammal native to Scotland" and goes on to give the typical "asymmetrical legs" details.

Car shit - like all shit, nowadays - is soooo expensive. Eventually I anticipate a repair that will cost more than my poor, beloved car is actually worth.

Imagine asking that, while you're getting prepped: "Pardon me, nurse, before you raise that bedrail, but are you in my network??" This is INSANE.

I often wonder what the providers (the nurses, the anaesthetists, etc) think about their place w/i such a system.

That's where you put "the help".

I'd take that library, though.

That kitchen is altogetherly. Are those tiles on the ceiling? I'm kind of in love, but it's also a wee bit creepy.

Together, we’re making landscapes more resilient.
Invasive Phragmites causes:

πŸ› οΈ Structural damage
🌱 Wetland habitat loss
πŸ›£οΈ Overtaken roadsides and recreation areas

NCC’s restoration work, like in the Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula shows real change is possible.

Can plants like these simply be uprooted? I see these around my area (Grays Creek, near Cornwall), along with massive growths of pampas grass (which I believe is also invasive). I am always tempted to put on my wellies and have at 'em, but then I worry I might make it worse...

Cover shot of Delilah Dawson's. Amazingly creepy book, "It Will Only Hurt For A Moment"

Holy CRAP this was an amazingly good book. It's dark, it's taunting, it's taut. Ooof. This one will stay with me for a looooong time.

@delilahsdawson.bsky.social's "it will only hurt for a moment". Go get it. Read it. Sink right into that hydrotherapy tub, but don't lock the fuckin door.

Lol. It LOOKS a little creepy, I suppose, but it was gorgeous and full of moths and little snoring birds. I am very easily freaked, but I wasn't this time.
