Memories of the stars of my childhood!
We named our 4-H calves for Jaime and Steve.
Of course it is so. Macho cultures with high presence of guns are high risk for violence against women and femicide.
Planter culture has always been strict, rigid, and patriarchal.
Why would anyone be surprised that this happens inside the home, too?
Ask me how I know.
Yes. All of us in the west need to draw the line.
The Progressive Conservatives under Brian Mulroney showed more backbone in dealing with apartheid South Africa than Canada is showing now with a state committing genocide before our eyes.
I had not realised that Carney had renounced his Irish & British citizenships until this trip of his to Ireland.
Glad he did so, as it removes the question of his loyalty to any other country.
You can love a country, & feel ties, but the PM should have one loyalty only.

They share a bowl
She’s right. The rot goes deep.
It’s a deep crack in the community.
In old loyalist families, you’ll notice that the moderates leave. That’s how we end up here in Canada.
My mind boggles over this.
Sunday morning. Letting sleeping dogs lie.
Roomba tales. Went out for a few hours on a Friday night, leaving elderly dog and cat in charge of the house.
Let my roomba do its thing. Came home to the distinct smell of dog shit. This is not the labour saving device I had hoped it would be.

I think we are in danger of underestimating quite how evil Elon Musk is. 🧵

This is not the first time that Trump or someone close to him has been accused of sending fascist messages. Nor even is it the first time a prominent Trump supporter has made that gesture.
Northern Ireland has a very high level of gender based violence, mainly committed by white Northern Irish men. I’ve yet to see riots after a woman has been violently attacked or killed. Seems like the issue isn’t qwhite about violence but who gets to commit it! www.ulster.ac.uk/research/res...
Based on responses from more than 540 women, the report also found seven out of 10 experienced some form of violence or abuse in the last 12 months.

Sitting dangerously.
Met Police officers broke down the front door of a Quaker meeting house to arrest six women discussing climate change and Gaza.
It is thought to be the first time in
the history of the famously pacifist
Quakers that police have forced
their way into a place of
worship.
