@pageman @nickbateman33 I think the record was broken at our local park in Vancouver!

@cszabla I took my 4 year old to visit family and after 3 days of seeing people reading on the tube she started bringing a book everywhere and trying to read

@VeritasAntequam @AndyMasley Fact or feeling??

[🤠 @heavensbvnny]

I need more men to understand that two men crying and hugging in space after one of them announced they were naming a moon crater after the other one’s late wife is actually what peak masculinity looks like

what kind of poverty do you have to be raised in to want an oatmeal raisin cookie. A treat for 19th century english orphans

@JpSlate94255 @KeruboSk I experienced this when I child I was nannying dropped my car keys down the sewer grate trying to unlock the door. I’ve never felt so calm.

@KeruboSk Hilariously sometimes I’m interested in really boring minutiae 😆

Conan O'Brien says he has "incredible empathy for people who have immigrated to another country" after traveling to Ireland and seeing his great-grandfather lived.

"I went back to Ireland and I [saw] a great genealogist who said, 'I found where your great-grandfather’s home was.' The home is gone, but he found the little spot where he lived, near the Galbally Mountains. He said, 'I’ll go there and show it to you,' and I said, 'We’ll do it on camera.'

"I was expecting to have these jokes loaded up; we had props and funny things we were going to do... But I got there, and I did not expect this because I'm not someone who wears my emotions on my sleeve, but I got emotional. It was very powerful.

"This was a very small plot of land. He was a tenant farmer, so it wasn't his. He didn't have money, and he needed to move on because it wasn't working; probably not enough to eat, couldn't sustain. So, he left and went to America, and here I am a couple of generations later.

"What's amazing to me is when you have that experience and you stand there, I have incredible empathy for people who have immigrated to another country. It takes an entire lifetime to go to a country where, often, people don't speak the language. They have to spend their entire lives just getting things started for the next generation; it's a whole lifetime that you're feeding into this process.

"I was just thinking about this guy, whom I'll never meet, who had to do that. I think I was overcome by the fact that there's a lot of sadness in that story, and in a lot of these stories. People leave not because they think, 'Hey, I just want to go have fun in America.' They leave because they have to."

@EdHuslik @TheCinesthetic I’m just curious at what point you perceived the show to be free of politics? I didn’t experience it as having separate parts

[Jessica Crompy @JessicaCrompy]

@EdHuslik @TheCinesthetic 🤦🏻‍♀️the entire premise of the show was that they are inseparable realities

And for the lady, a 23-hour day of recognition?

Losing an hour of time/sleep on International Women's Day feels like the most on brand thing this world has to offer.

@ChartScience @Sally_Sharif1 But there are unique points that will resonate with individuals with their own experiences and knowledge. Responding to those connections is the point of reading. Not a summary with all the context and details skimmed over

[Jessica Crompy @JessicaCrompy]

@Sally_Sharif1 @moss_sphagnum I had 3 pages of notes with points from the 10 readings and it was a breeze and dare I say enjoyable to make those connections in handwriting. My brain fires well under pressure. Much better than essay writing torture 2/2

[Jessica Crompy @JessicaCrompy]

@Sally_Sharif1 @moss_sphagnum We had an open book written exam in a 300 level course I took last year. The older students who had returned for a secondary degree were fine. Anyone under 35 was utterly panicked and claimed test anxiety. 1/2

@bugsquelcher Felting was a big hit in my class this week. But you have to watch while you stab it so you don’t poke yourself. Or get finger guards!

[Jessica Crompy @JessicaCrompy]

@honeybunwife for drop-in basketball etc. Those are crucial. Otherwise it was/is ‘the gravel pit’, or other hostile, uncomfortable, unsafe places. Anything with a roof is good! They just want to gather with some comfort. They’re so important 2/2

[Jessica Crompy @JessicaCrompy]

@honeybunwife Library, youth clubs, after school extracurriculars that allowed you to be in the school like band, drama, film & tv, sports. Community centres sometimes have dedicated space for hanging out, learning things like cooking, art, open gymnasium times 1/2
