Excellent post. I would personally add people educating themselves as well.

Dear Tomi,

AW YISS DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE HATERS

Yep, that would definitely be bad. They’re my favourite trees there in autumn.

Still nowhere near as traumatizing as A Mouse and His Child.

That is weird. Climate change better not mess with my New England autumns—in a bad way. Longer NE autumns are a good thing. =P

But more importantly, am I your huckleberry?

You should! I will take you to all our favourite restaurants.

Yeah, the wildfires here in BC are pretty bad. That being said, Vancouver is super-mild most of the year, weather-wise. Last year was the most snow we had gotten since I moved here in 2003; most years we don’t get any. We actually have a spring season (as opposed to the Spring Weekend I was used to in NH), summer…

I suffered from an anal fistula for a decade. The pain was so bad that at times I wished I were dead.

Yes, come to Canada. If you’re awesome, it will be awesome for you. If you’re a cranky Republican-type, you can still come here, move to Alberta, and hate Canada a lot.

My Polish grandparents immigrated to England after WWII, and my father was born in Melton-Mowbray. When I immigrated here to Canada in 2003, I was shocked to find out I was a British citizen. Now I have a 3-way, so yay! =D

Maybe you shouldn’t be wearing something that sounds like “float” when surveying flood damage. Just a thought.

Dear Republicans...

It’s also Shabbos, so Ivanka and Jared aren’t around. Not that they’ve been effective, but he probably feels like he’s sneaking one past them.

Don’t forget us Canadians, eh?

We don’t have to *watch*, but I think it’s important it’s still broadcast. We need a public record accessible to everybody of what Cheeto Voldemort says and does.

I am nicking this. Thank you!

The REAL definition of insanity is quoting the definition of insanity to/about people who will never grasp the concept.

This is a good time to share my epic 1994 concerts story.
