Margaret Atwood was taking to the podium after being introduced. She needed to adjust the height of the microphone. She announced to the sold out crowd "People always think that I'm taller than I am." After a chuckle from the audience, in the perfect silence that followed that moment, I seized the opportunity to audibly call out "You're a GIANT Margaret, a GIANT!!"
It caught her attention and garnered a worthy applause for the truth of it! 😄❤️😄
A most memorable experience.

Sometimes it seems lonely over here on Mastodon but I’m plugging away, looking for good accounts to follow to keep up with what is going on.
SUGGESTIONS ON ACCOUNTS TO FOLLOW WILL BE WELCOMED. To that end Reblogging this post would help.
Thank you to the handful of accounts that follow me.👋🏽
How the Trump administration muzzled epidemic researchers at #CDC as #COVID19 spread asymptomatically and killed tens of thousands. That's why #Republicans and Kremlin errand boys like Elon Musk keep talking about prosecuting Fauci: Because *Trump and his co-conspirators are mass murderers guilty of crimes against humanity*, while we're talking about indictments for hush-money payments. #health #medicine #USpolitics

HAPPY International Women's Day.

All around the world, Women are still discriminated against, under threat, exploited and under appreciated. Don't give us arguments against our human rights.

Happy International Women’s Day! Unfortunately you still earn $1m less than men

In 95% of all occupations men are paid more than women. The tyranny of the gender pay gap even carries on into retirement

After that disgusting Poilievre news conference yesterday how could we let people like him, Lewis, Genuis, Gladu, Lantsman, Scheer run our country? Divisive, angry, arrogant, no solutions, anti science, anti choice, misogynists, afraid of knowledge, meeting nazis. I think not. Let’s make sure it doesn’t happen.
