If you can manage it, please don’t order online from the LCBO as that is crossing the picket line. #solidarity

Congratulations Doug Ford on the first strike in LCBO history. But we all know this is about union busting and giving your rich buddies more money by privatizing the LCBO. Weston needs a second castle baby!!! Also the amount of ding dongs who don’t understand the revenue LCBO brings in ugh 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Then he said something about my tone and that he has 60 deliveries to do. I think I'm done with this company. The produce is excellent but the repeated leaving bins in the hallway is ridiculous. I have been home every time. KNOCK ON THE DOOR AND WAIT TEN DAMN SECONDS.

/3 and this time, if I hadn't been listening closely, I wouldn't have heard the tiny knock and run to the door only to see them down the hall almost at the elevator. "Please come back, I have empty bins to give you", I cried. "I said to you on the phone just now to not leave it in the hallway!"...

/2 because they keep saying "leave your bins out". We live in a condo. We cannot "leave our bins out". We cannot leave ANYTHING in the hallway, ever. But for the last two deliveries, even though it's clear in my account instructions, they have left the bin in the hallway and left...

this is a mini-rant so I apologize upfront. I decided to try a produce delivery company to be delivered on one of the days I work from home. Part of their deal is that you return the previous week's bin at the next delivery. They must deliver to a lot houses or places with porches, though...(cont)

There may be some new fans or detractors for certain LOST characters so let me put on the record that I was a Sawyer girlie from day fucking one. I think one of my first ever laptop-saved images is the cage kiss.

Hi @theglobeandmail.com, this is a misleading and confusing post/headline. The person who has passed away is filmmaker Érik Canuel. Perhaps his name could be in the post?

As a Gen-xer this is...there really aren't words. The AIDS crisis defined my generation in many ways, a plague no one cared about until it affected straight people. The lives that were lost, it's not an exaggeration that we lost more than a generation of art and activism.

I see that the Foo Fighters just kicked off their UK tour, so it's time to drag out my "Why I Hate Dave Grohl" thread. TL;DR: The Foo Fighters funded AIDS denialist groups from 1999-2007 that lobbied to deny people life-saving medication. They have never acknowledged the deaths they caused.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Not everyday you are nominated twice in one category! My COC chorus colleagues and I were nominated in the opera category for Outstanding Ensemble for this year’s Dora Awards - for The Cunning Little Vixen and Medea. We won last year for Macbeth…will it be twice in a row?

In Canada - the rural southeast Ontario part anyway - you cook hotdogs and hamburgers on a barbecue (not a grill). So that’s what we call those get-togethers. And the coolers will have several kinds of pop in them.
