Here is what we’re worried about: Montrealers have made a very specific deal with the universe. We have 6 months of winter, garbage, corruption and low pay but in exchange we get park hangs, cheap rent and hot hookups. What happens to us when the universe doesn’t make good on it?

Wow ok maybe this is too far Montreal. Hearing that at least five cruisers were torched and a ton of downtown shops were vandalized. Yes systemic racism is a problem but this seems extreme for... wait, oh, sorry, this is all happened in 2008 when the Canadiens won a playoff game.

Not only are people going to cancel their own subscriptions, they’ll cancel their parents’ subscriptions the second they get that first panicked call for long-distance IT support, or when they visit home and see it’s stayed logged out for months because ‘It’s broken.’
@nostalgiaonfilm
Ok honestly thought this was going to be about the hair. (Which is cute, and she is beautiful, but I cannot not share it now that’s I’ve seen it.)
@miel
Always amazing to see how much the people who built their brands on the backs of other people’s content seem to genuinely loathe the actual creators.

On top of any defense you’ve got to give her permission to be impolite, in general but especially to men. It’s incredibly difficult to do as everyone (especially predators) counts on girls to be quiet, agreeable, put others’ comfort first, question their own observations, etc.

Love this song John Lennon about celebrities stuck in their mansions with excellent medical care on call. Can’t remember the lyrics, but if it were about anything else but that this might be super awkward and tacky.
@hello__caitlin
The same stationery she surely used a year later, for the note she left on the kitchen table. The one that totally came out of the blue.
I asked the provinces if they think housing is a human right, and plan to make rules protecting that right. Quebec sent this:
"Do I ghost her again? Otherwise, a general response that doesn't answer, to say housing is a priority for our government?"
Montrealers will be like ‘I know a spot’ and bring you to a blanket in a park, laughter and guitar in the distance, endless wine and charcuterie and berries, and you’ll watch the sun set against their face and wonder how you got so lucky. Then you’ll return to the real world.
@benkling
It is on purpose and by design. By keeping the evil just beyond reach (and view), it forces you to consider your distorted perception of reality and the morality that you bring to– lolllll jk that sucks who checked those proooofs.

@wownicebuttdude
That’s debatable! As with so many things, girls and women are often left out of studies, and social conditioning (even with autism) lets some women ‘pass’ because their effort is invisible. Symptoms we consider common are often associated with men because that’s who’s studied.
@1followernodad
Once I was with a group of Americans in a restaurant in Sicily and a waiter recommended the special and they balked. I had to tell them, ‘No, it’s actually the best, freshest thing on the menu, the kitchen’s not trying to get rid of it.’

He hadn’t considered it at all before, and not being an instant expert in an important thing makes a certain type of person uncomfortable. They need to rearrange things so it’s not that they’re ignorant, it’s that it doesn’t actually matter.

Yeah like, there’s a real great reason some people can’t/won’t go get their stuff back and tbh sending a gig worker in their place to potentially risk their life seems ethically questionable.

Also SNL: six minute sketch about people applying for a loan from a vampire where everyone corpses and the guest can’t remember her lines and the ending is a school bell

It would be so much easier if phones were simply tools rather than portals to platforms designed to be addictive. If you could just pop in to check an invite, look up an address, whatever, without being met with something carefully created to work like a VLT machine.
Love living in and paying taxes to the pettiest effing province in the country. Fyi this isn’t at a restaurant or dep or anything, these are appliances in the break room of a small company.

That is such a crucial note, because this exact thing so rarely gets noted anywhere, formally. It’s just ‘I guess she didn’t advance as quickly as her colleagues’ or ‘She just left the industry for some reason.’
@intrnetdaughter
Someone who went viral talking about sexual predators the other week followed up with an ad for diet pills and it was just the darkest timeline.
A 15-minute city? Babe, I live in a six-minute city. I’ve got all my favourite deps and shops and cafes around me, and commute a few times a year for the dentist or if I want to see an IMAX.
@tnwhiskeywoman
Clearly his loved one’s spirit is stuck inside that tree. The celebrities are the sacrifices he keeps bringing the witch who put them in there. So far, not one has been deemed worthy.
@chronicallybeee
It’s always ‘You should have dealt with that privately’ until it’s ‘Why didn’t you say something earlier?’ or ‘Well how was I supposed to know?’
@BrandyLJensen
What does ‘we must continue finding ways to tell these stories’ even mean, really? Like, that’s your company that’s your job don’t treat it like a mysterious quest.
Short-sighted, petty, unrealistic, cruel, and doesn’t address the fact that Quebec high schools consistently have the highest drop out rates in the country.

Honestly how many women who think they’re competing with a guy’s ex or other lovers are really just dating her through him? Like, he didn’t discover bell hooks on his own, just DM her for reccs next time.

And even if they believe you it’s like, “Well, yes, Archie gets attacked by a bear but it’s like a c-plot and doesn’t affect anything so you’re good.”

This is the extreme version, but the number of guys who get offended when their twitter date suggests meeting in public, even in the kindest, most casual way... not small!
Criterion Closet Picks but it’s Canadian stars going wild in the NFB archives, pulling out unsettling animated shorts from the ‘70s and documentaries about cod fishing.
@TRyanGregory
Anyone who says this is not imagining a 90-minute journey that includes walking through snow, late buses and packed metros, and the office they’re going to isn’t a hot desk in an open-plan setup between two sick, loud people eating microwaved fish.

Nikki Haley was born in 1971, before American women could get a credit card in their own names or serve on a jury in all 50 states, back when sexually harassing employees and firing them for getting pregnant were both legal, so…
@officialhambly
Being into ceramics is a green flag because you’ve got to be ready to be humbled by fate and nature, and brute force rarely yields anything good.
@ruth_graham
Okay but it IS weird how many ‘girl names’ were once 100% for boys (Lesley, Leigh, Marion, Allison, Ashley, etc), though never the other way around. You do wonder how it went for the first baby girls who got them.

@GarrethvV
Sexual harassment and systemic racism, homophobia, etc. are big ones, too. People without power leave when it’s clear nothing will change.

Love to watch movies from the late 80s where people do jobs using slow computers, snail mail and faxes — jobs that exist today but can be done in mere seconds, yet somehow result in longer hours and lower salaries.

Also if this guy wants kids just wait til he finds out that you have to actually do activities with them... and bake them cupcakes... jk you know he’s not planning on being hands-on.
Let Olimpico baristas distribute the vaccine. They will get it to the people in record time, and we can all enjoy the Rolling Stones while we wait in line.
