Me, innocent: @tithenai is so good, her debut novella will be full of magic, beauty-"

Me, bawling: AMAL EL-MOHTAR WITH THE STEEL CHAIR! FROM THE TOP ROPE AND--OOF, MARTY'S DOWN, THAT'S *GOTTA* HURT!

Devastated in the best way. Thank you for these sisters & their songs, Amal 💜

I was most proud of this. Can you believe that before 2019, my cartoons were featured in every newspaper across Atlantic Canada? Every single one. Small, medium, and big publications alike. I dominated four provinces—New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. I loved this region deeply, and I made it a point to draw local cartoons that resonated with the community, not just the big, easy targets like Trump. I knew people on the community level- Oxford, Saint John, Bridgewater, Summerside, New Glasgow, Torbay, St.John's, Charlottetown, Cornerbrook.

And now? I’m in none of them.

Postmedia owns them all.

Dear @ianhanomansing

My ask is simple: host this.

You have the platform. These people have the information.

Canadians need to see and hear.

You can do it.

When booking your covid Vax one of the questions they ask is if you've had covid in the last 6 months. This as the man overseeing all of this tells us there's no reason to test for covid. Lol. Public Health is now such a farce it's nothing more than a dark comedy.

Fillmore down to 24%, Mason up to 19%

Momentum is swinging - the people don’t want a candidate who tries to buy the mayor’s chair.

Halifax Folks! Early voting starts today for Mayor & council elections. If you care about housing and improving transportation, this election matters a lot.

I'm supporting @WayeMason, and I think you should too.

[Sam Austin @SamAustinD5]

I’m often asked who I’m voting for mayor. I wasn’t planning to endorse anyone but the race feels close. The stakes are high. Today I’m endorsing Waye Mason. There is overlap between our platforms and he is the only major candidate promising to protect Dartmouth Cove. Vote Mason

[craig ferguson @craig_ferguson]

Andy Fillmore hasn’t released his platform, didn’t do a Reddit AMA and didn’t respond @TwitCoast’s candidate survey.

Voting opens in 5 days:

[🫐Amelia J. Peabody (pseud.) @LilOldAl]

Yeah. Not voting for Andy.

[Novid Scotia 🇨🇦 | novidscotia.bsky.social @Nova_Thistle]

Stunning collapse of the Fillmore candidacy for #Halifax mayor. Who are his advisors? They're terrible.

[allyson @allieawake]

From looking at the replies it appears that @AndyFillmoreHFX didn’t take the time to answer the survey from a vital organization in the HRM.

[Derek Simon @DartmouthDerek]

Fillmore hasn’t provided a platform, and isn’t answering questionnaires from credible groups like Adsum.

He’s treating this like a coronation rather than an election.

[craig ferguson @craig_ferguson]

Waye Mason has already answered more than 100 questions (so far) on his Reddit AMA.

Andy Fillmore still hasn’t even responded to the moderators’ request to do one.

OKAY! Today is Space Oddity's birthday and the very sick child has finally fallen asleep, so let's gooooo!

Space Oddity is the sequel to the bestselling Space Opera, and follows Decibel Jones & crew as they stumble onto the next potentially-sentient species whilst faffing about on their Mandatory Publicity and Interstellar Diplomacy Tour. ALL MY 2020s FEELS IN THIS ONE.

Please grab a copy & tell people about this book! Unlike Dess, I did not get a publicity starship.

[Owen Smith @derficusrex]

@catvalente Already have the ebook, and my preordered hard copy is awaiting pickup! Hope the wee one feels better soon.

[Owen Smith @derficusrex]

@enbyinjail @DuxburyCarole These days it really does only make sense if you enjoy it. Here in NA it’s even less limiting not to know manual given how many fewer there are on the road vs the UK. I guess one practical upside is that my car is a bit harder to steal, but that’s about it.

@LeslieStreeter @UofMaryland @TheMuppets Tom Smith’s tribute “A Boy And His Frog” gets me every time I hear it
