I want a soft life. I want ease. I want relaxation. I do not want to hustle. I do not want to grind. Grinding wears you down to brittle nothingness. I do not want to work my life away. I want enjoyment and rest, not as rewards but as practice. My life will be a practice in joy.

In 1995, Dudley George was killed by a police sniper after three days of occupying land near his traditional territory that had been taken by the federal government. I have been thinking about him a lot these days—especially when I see photos of protesters in hot tubs.

I got my library to order this book after I read this thread - thank God for libraries! - and it is SO GOOD. I cackled, I cried, and I didn't want it to end so badly that I immediately reread it. Go read this book! (Now available at the Calgary Library 😉)

Canada to require proof of COVID-19 vaccination for anyone who gets on a commercial plane or a cruise ship or an inter-provincial train. Will also apply to the entire public service, Crown Corporations and other federally regulated sectors. https://t.co/SksR3CLzxf
