Just some dude from 🇨🇦.

"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."

Stuff I like to talk about on social media includes: Canadian culture and politics; Science Fiction; comics; rock and/or roll; obscure Simpsons references; gaming (Nintendo Switch/Magic the Gathering); The Ottawa Senators.

The great thing about learning how to terraform Venus is it would require learning how to deal with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere - which would be useful for here on Earth too!

At no point in The Wizard of Oz does the narrative address any industrial development that led to the formation of the Lollipop Guild or its role as an economic counterbalance to the feudal caprice of Oz's false-consciousness-peddling overlord and this seems like a giant plot-hole.

One of my students wanted to show me that they'd learned how to do gender swaps on an app on their phone.

I'm cute, right?

Let's give this a try.

Hi! My name is Maggie More, and I'm a Digital Content Producer for NBC Washington (the local NBC station for the D.C. area.)

I'm working on a story explaining what Mastodon is and how it works. If you have anything to share that you think might help me with that story, please reach out!

@tencenttakes I remember reading this when it came out! I was a suburban, Catholic-school-raised teenager and had gotten a lot of misinformation about HIV as a result. This helped adjust my understanding of the virus and its impact on people.

My uncle died of AIDS in the early 80s. That first wave of deaths, when it was “gay cancer,” and the Reagan administration ignored it.

It is difficult to comprehend how far we have come since then, from advances in HIV/AIDS treatment to gay rights. I wish my uncle could have seen it. And I hope we don’t let politicians drag us backward.

Love you, UncleJimmy. Miss you.
