@heatmore7 @erbrooker @ganglads_ Wow, that’s incredibly rude. OP has gone to a lot of effort with this thread and doesn’t owe anyone more of her time or effort to deliver it to other platforms. If you want it to be more widespread, do it yourself.

@titus95512 @LizzieMarbach Seriously man, you have a problem and need to seek proper help. Stop sexualising children. And stop blaming girls and women for your apparent inability to control yourself.

@MelissaSweetDr Thank you. We heard this morning that his house has been saved. Four firefighting crews spent all night in his neighbourhood battling the blaze. The major threat has passed for him, but so many fires still raging in BC. Difficult days still ahead for many communities.

@CanIndian_Bro Thank you 🙏

My brother experiencing this nightmare right now. He moved to Kelowna about three years ago, had to evacuate his home late yesterday. A real danger that it won’t be standing tomorrow. State of emergency has been declared for the city. We’re just hoping he stays safe.

Watch: In B.C.'s Okanagan, 23,500 people are under an evacuation alert while thousands of others have already been ordered to get out. @StephThomasCTV has more. #yyc https://t.co/QWiIKxflWa

@RossFloate How about we become a republic instead?

@KrauthBen @psvbluemts Perhaps not expected, but a very likely possibility. I don’t work in an office — self employed and work from home —and am immunocompromised so mask up often, but am on my third COVID infection in 14 months. It’s near impossible to avoid when you live in a family.

@20thCenturyDan They’ll have to rescind. I can’t see how they can let BRS remain a VC after this decision.

@DianneCostin @ERN_Malleyscrub Is she trying to be all The Wiggles at once?

[Emma Campbell @ECampbellauthor]

Brilliant!

We made a #StarWars trailer in the style of #wesanderson hope you guys enjoy it!

@RealAnitaWhite @woolworths Yes! I’ve been boring friends with my commentary on governments’ lack of desire to tackle profiteering by businesses, particularly supermarkets. Pollies say “Oh yes, isn’t inflation terrible”, but it’s in their power to legislate against the worst practices. Pathetic.

@danielle_binks @annaspargoryan This is me!!! Soup is THE BEST.

“Routinely and reliably, over three decades, the Liberal Party has favoured the wealthy over the poor, the old over the young, the callous and scared over the empathetic and kind.”

It’s not a mystery: the Liberal Party is unelectable because it sucks https://t.co/D2rcZxkcPd

Love this!

Now that I'm a civilian again, I can finally share the ridiculous but true story of when I met @russellcrowe (Russell this one reflects on me, not you 🙂).

It was a balmy 2005 spring in Glebe, the grungy corner of Sydney where I lived while studying at @Sydney_Uni...

[Emma Campbell @ECampbellauthor]

@EscapedParent @jonkudelka Well said.

[Emma Campbell @ECampbellauthor]

@fensaddler @BrentHodgson @RudeMood7 Seems they are powerful because they don’t respond — the major parties are ignored and they can’t handle it. More power to our young voters, I say. They’re smart, empathetic and largely want a future that is better for all, not a chosen few.

Hi #twitterstorians, can anyone recommend a good book (or two) on US history for younger scholars? My 15-year-old is keen on it. Many thanks 🙏

[Emma Campbell @ECampbellauthor]

@Stardate325858 @ask_aubry Nailed it.

[Emma Campbell @ECampbellauthor]

@jonkudelka Sorry to hear this. Dasher looks like one of the very best cats. Take care.
