The University of Calgary put up signs saying, 'Disrupt something.' They didn't add, 'and when you do, we'll call in the riot police.'

Mother and son training with Lucy at class this evening.

At the end of a vigorous class tonight, with all the windows open and fans blowing at the far ends of the dojo (and with two HEPA filters running at max).

Bus drivers learning what it feels like to be a cyclist passed by a bus.

I think this should be required for anyone to get a driver's license.

Pro-Palestinian protest at Eurovision (Malmo, Sweden).

An old tweet, but it expresses what I feel, although many will condemn me for it: identity politics has always been an overgeneralizing failure.

Wait, anyone under 16 years old isn't allowed inside West Edmonton Mall without an adult??? Is this new? #yeg
