Last day for advanced polls with Londoners contributing to a record-breaking weekend
London, Ont. residents were among the record-breaking two million Canadians who voted at advance polls over the weekend. Some said tension with the U.S., combined with free time over the Easter weekend holiday, prompted ...

Omdat ik niks beters te doen heb: hier is een poll
Als ik in hotel/b&b/guesthouse verblijf doe ik:
1: al mijn spullen in kastjes en laatjes
2: leef ik uit mijn koffer
3: stal alles uit op alle mogelijke UHS (bruikbare horizontale ruimte) in t zicht

When I'm in a hotel/b&b/guesthouse
1: I put all my stuff in wardrobes and drawers
2: live out of my suitcase
3: put everything on all the available UHS (usable horizontal space) in sight

Been working all day for #easter for my daughter. We're not religious. I don't know when this started, but for many years now my kid is visited every year by the Easter Badger. Important things about the Easter Badger:

  • Is totally real, unlike Santa, Easter Bunny, etc., who are fake and also stupid and EB finds them socially annoying

  • Spells very badly, including their own name

  • Steals all of daughter's candy and hides it in a complicated series of lockboxes and hiding places, with (badly-spelled) clues to the combinations and next stash of candy

  • Finds time to trash talk the Easter Bunny, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, et al. while writing clues in very bad penmanship

  • Does all of this out of love for my daughter

  • Also out of spite, vindictiveness, and to spread anti-Santa/Easter Bunny propaganda (a.k.a. "consciousness raising" or "accurate information")

Edit: This year the EB has gone digital (their HTML skills are almost as minimal as mine):

easterbadger.com

Most of the clues are on ultra-basic websites like this, which helps EB b/c I--I mean they--can adjust a clue while the hunt is on by editing a page:

easterbadger.com/purplepurpl.h

And I think it's set up so it's difficult (hopefully impossible) to see any of these pages without knowing and typing in the URL. My kid can do the latter, but neither of us are coders or webdevs so any advanced hacking is beyond us.

Note: They got very distracted with EB's use of physical padlocks for some puzzles so they've been picking locks for an hour. :) Happy moments.

Tonight is ליל הסדר — Seder night.

A night of story, memory, freedom.

This video is from my last Seder in Israel — a table full of love, tradition, and meaning. I hold it close.

This year, I’m not at a public Seder. I’m sitting with memory. With family in my heart.

If you’re doing the same — I see you.

You don’t need a crowd to feel the magic. Just a heart open to the story.

May tonight bring freedom, peace, connection, and hope.

And may we remember the 59 hostages still in Gaza. May they come home soon.

חג פסח שמח 💙
