Hey, DYK Dick Van Dike was offered to play 007🔫 when Sean Connolly was retiring from the role?! 😆 He says he declined because he couldn’t do justice to Brit accent — right after he struggled through Mary Poppins, pretending to speak cockney. 🙌 😂🤣 #FunFact 😃 #amReading “100 Rules for Living to 100” #bookstodon

An odd time to be reading a book (Comet in Moominland) and coming across passages like this:
"Don't disturb me," said the Muskrat. "Run off and play! Play while you can. There's nothing we can do about the matter, so we might as well take it philosophically."
"What matter?" cried Moomintroll.
"The end of the world, of course," explained the Muskrat calmly.

I #AmReading something painful and awful - Chilliwack Teachers’ Association v. Neufeld (No. 10), 2026 BCHRT 49
#BCHRT is the #BC Human Rights Tribunal. M Neufeld was an elected trustee of the Chilliwack Board of #Education who BCHRT has found engaged in hateful and discriminatory public speech.
M Neufeld has delayed the case(s) since 2017, nearly a decade. The decision was released 18 Feb 2026. I am only up to page 25.

So, I just finished reading DEMON COPPERHEAD by Barbara Kingsolver. It was utterly unputdownable, I got mad at my family for speaking to me while I was reading it, and when I read the final sentence and closed the book all I could say was "DAMN."
Highly recommend, y'all. HIGHEST OF HIGHLY.
