It occurred to me that we haven’t had an actual slow news day since January. Anyways remember to take care of yourself, eat, and drink some water.

The online reaction to folks being stuck at the top of the Banff Gondola is super weird because 1. people with disabilities exist and 2. a lot of people do not know how to climb/scale down a mountain at night.

Every day I'm reminded that Calgary's public transit infrastructure is terrible and car dependency is making things a lot less accessible in the city. How can the third-largest city in Canada not have reliable public transit? Not everyone can drive. #yyc

At one point, he had a wad of trash in his hands. He turns towards me, as if he was going to throw it at my direction. He ends up throwing it at an empty seat next to him instead

Being in an opposite-sex relationship doesn't make a bi person any less bi. This is a biphobic take. Also, why is bi in quotation marks?

Of Americans now claiming "bi" identity, the vast majority of them in long-term relationships are in opposite-sex relationships (33%) rather than same-sex ones (3.7%). So 10 times more people who identify as "bi" live in hetero-appearing relationships than gay/lesbian ones:

There is a reason why vulnerable populations are hesitant to talk to journalists. You're not helping matters. Maybe spend time actually trying to understand the very complicated issue and write a story about it.

My name is clearly in the first byline, which they could have easily verified. This is also an easy correction and frankly not a huge ask. I've been told they will give me verbal credit at the awards ceremony. That's not good enough.
