  1. With Donald Trump announcing bans on Canadian alcohol & dairy, it's high time Saskatchewan & Alberta join the other provinces in banning US liquor!

  5. RE: mastodon.social/@JuliusGoat/11

    Not just US Republicans. When leaders are narcissists, ie shameless, they attempt to inflict their 'morality' on everyone.

    "What Republicans have managed to do is redraw the boundaries of the acceptable until lies and corruption and gutter racism and bigotry of every kind is their shared acceptable standard. In this way, they have effected a sort of death of shame—by making shameful things acceptable and acceptable things shameful."

  9. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    No matter what you do, some people will criticize you, and, if you are entirely sure that you would not be ashamed to explain your action to someone whom you loved and who loved you, and you are satisfied in your own mind that you are doing right, then you need not worry about criticism, nor need you ever explain what you do.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) American politician, diplomat, activist; First Lady of the US (1933–45)
    Memoir (1937), This Is My Story, ch. 4 “Home Again”

    S-uperior
    H-uron

    E-rie

    That should make it easier for school kids to remember the Great Lakes names...

While Doug Ford and Prabmeet Sarkaria deserve the bulk of the blame through their speed camera and bike lane bans, the City also deserves blame for dragging their feet. #shame #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero www.instagram.com/p/DcjYztqxSD...

  16. What a sad day for the #BikeTO community with the Ford government winning the Bill 212 appeal! This also means bad news for #YYCbike & #YEGbike folks given the Alberta government under Smith has also been pursuing similar policies including a bike lane snitch line. #shame #TOpoli #ONpoli #ABpoli 🤬

  17. Given Brad Bradford's unacceptable proposal to remove the Bloor bike lanes in #Etobicoke, it's clear the #BikeTO community needs to do everything possible to re-elect Olivia Chow!

  18. The Places in My Dreams

    The world within, the world of my dreams, is similar to the one I walk through every day. But it is different.

    The streets bend strangely. The rooms open where they should not. The people and places are often indifferent to me, and sometimes, they are even antagonistic.

    They are not merely people and places. They are representations of emotions I have not yet worked through from the previous day. Sixteen waking hours are not enough to fully grasp all that I have experienced, endured, feared, desired, regretted, or misunderstood.

    And so, in the night, these things come alive.

    They take on faces. They become houses, roads, crowds, locked doors, ruined landscapes, familiar rooms made unfamiliar. They guide me through the shadow lands—not always kindly, but truthfully. They show me what I could not see while awake.

    My dreams are not escapes from the day.

    They are the day returning in another form, asking to be understood.

    Some nights I find myself back in places I have never been, and yet they feel older than memory. A school that was never my school. A church with hallways that keep multiplying. A childhood home rearranged by grief. A city I know by instinct, though no map has ever held it.

    In these places, I am often trying to get somewhere.

    I am late. I am lost. I am looking for someone. I am trying to explain myself to people who will not listen. I am searching for a room, a door, a vehicle, a path, a way home. Sometimes I am carrying something fragile. Sometimes I have forgotten what I was supposed to carry. Sometimes I am responsible for a task I do not understand, surrounded by people who seem to know the rules but refuse to tell me.

    This is the cruelty of the dream world: everyone else seems initiated.

    They move through the strange landscape as if it is ordinary. They know which hallway leads out, which road is safe, which bus to board, which door not to open. I am the stranger in a world that somehow belongs to me. I am the dreamer, and yet I am not in control.

    Perhaps this is why the places feel antagonistic. They do not hate me. They are simply unwilling to flatter me. They will not pretend I am finished with what I have not faced. They will not comfort me with easy explanations. They turn my emotions into architecture and ask me to walk through them.

    Fear becomes a narrow bridge.

    Regret becomes a house with too many locked rooms.

    Anger becomes a storm on the edge of town.

    Shame becomes a crowd that sees me before I am ready to be seen.

    Grief becomes a road that always returns to the same place.

    And longing—longing becomes a light in a window I can never quite reach.

    I wake from these dreams with the feeling that I have traveled farther than my body could have gone. I have crossed cities, fields, stairways, basements, sanctuaries, ruins, and train stations. I have spoken with the dead and avoided the living. I have been judged by strangers and ignored by friends. I have wandered through the unfinished weather of my own soul.

    Then morning comes, and the ordinary world returns.

    The walls are where I left them. The floor is solid. The dog needs to go out. The coffee waits. The phone glows with its small demands. The day begins again, pretending to be separate from the night.

    But I know better.

    The dream has left its residue. A feeling follows me, sometimes faint, sometimes heavy. A hallway from the dream lingers inside the hallway of the house. A face from the night appears behind the face of someone I know. A mood clings to the morning like fog.

    The shadow lands do not vanish when I wake.

    They retreat.

    They wait beneath the visible world, beneath errands and conversations, beneath sermons and chores, beneath the version of myself that knows how to answer when someone asks, “How are you?”

    I say, “I’m fine.”

    But somewhere beneath that answer, an entire city is still burning, or flooding, or rebuilding itself in the dark.

  19. A quotation from Hoffer

    Self-contempt, however vague, sharpens our eyes for the imperfections of others. We usually strive to reveal in others the blemishes we hide in ourselves.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 100 (3.14.100) (1951)

  21. The Virtue of Shamelessness

    Shame is morality enforced via social consequence and that is ultimately its fatal flaw. Because the
    value of shame stems from the quality of the values being promoted, but the power of shame stems from the social power of the ones enforcing those values. And nine times out of ten, the value and the power of shame are directly opposite each other. This is why being shameless may often lead to more principled ethics than being easily shamed.

  23. A quotation from Montesquieu

    I suffer from the disease of writing books and being ashamed of them when they are finished.
     
    [J’ai la maladie de faire des livres et d’en être honteux quand je les ai faits.]

    Charles-Lewis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755) French political philosopher
    Pensées Diverses [Assorted Thoughts], # 83 / 837 (1720-1755)

  24. A quotation from The Bible

    If your enemies are starving, feed them some bread;
       if they are thirsty, give them water to drink.
    By doing this, you will heap burning coals on their heads,
       and the Lord will reward you.

    The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)

  25. I'm pissed off and disappointed.

    I just received a #telemarketing phone call on behalf of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, #soliciting #donations.

    It sounded pretty human-ish -- I believe it was using actual recorded sentences of a human being - but they were edited/glued-together in a slightly unnatural way. I believe it was an #IVR system.

    So in the middle of one of its speeches, I interrupted with "You're actually a #recorded announcement, aren't you?"

    And it replied with some meaningless interjection followed by "No, I'm a real live #agent". And it wasn't. It definitely wasn't. I tested it further and it immediately failed, giving nonsensical replies and then suddenly switching to a "thank you for completing..." (which I hadn't) announcement and disconnecting.

    Legitimate #charities shouldn't be employing telemarketing #robots which lie and claim to be #humans. Full stop.

    #Shame on the CNIB.
