Hundreds of air traffic controllers across B.C. and across Canada are contributing to a kind – and tasty – gesture to their US counterparts who aren’t getting paid during the partial government shutdown.
Canadian controllers coast to coast have been rallying together to send surprise pizza deliveries to more than 50 control towers stateside in the past few days.
Canadian Air Traffic Control Association president Peter Duffey says tower staff at YVR, Victoria, Kelowna and several other airports have played their part. He says it’s rare to find a feel-good story in a government shutdown, so to put the smiles on a few faces has been heartwarming.
Make them longer so they can run around in them and it’d be fine.
since longer dresses get unwieldy, perhaps we could split them into two dresses, one around each leg 🤔
Studies have shown that putting babies/small children in dresses and skirts changes their behavior (babies/toddlers move less-and since people tend to put girl babies in dresses that means girl babies move less while their boy counterparts don’t get this treatment and move more). People also tend to put girls in nice clothes a lot at young ages and tell them not to get it dirty, essentially teaching girls that it’s more important to stay looking nice than it is to play or do anything else (when playing is the main way that children learn).
So what I’m saying is: put all babies and young children in clothes that are easy to move in (basically not a dress or a skirt) and don’t worry about them getting their clothes dirty. You can get other clothes but your child only gets one childhood.
Went out for a morning walk and the skies were seething with snow geese. We walked around town for close to an hour and saw and heard geese the whole time, sometimes in stray couples and strings and sometimes like this. It was astounding.
this is a “so long and thanks for all the fish” kind of feeling. Hat tip to @squirrelynuthouse for this deeply unsettling and very powerful evidence of Something.

*Edward comes into Bella’s room that one night to creepily kiss her in order to test his self-control*
Edward: I just wanna try one thing. Be very still…don’t move.
John as Bella: *flops to the ground and kicks upward to fight off attacker according to the infinite wisdom of Detective JJ Bittenbinder*
Edward: My family, we’re different from others of our kind. We only drink animal blood, but it’s your scent. It’s like a drug to me. It’s like you’re my own personal brand of heroine.
