EXCERPT: He held the truck door for her, then circled around and climbed in. "Where to?" "Somewhere quiet. I've been surrounded by people all day." "I agree. The house has been full of friends since I got Gram home. I managed to run most of them off early last night so she could sleep and again this afternoon to let Gram rest a few hours before the quilters swarmed in." He drove through the Hamburger Hut, picked up malts and burgers, then crossed the bridge to the old part of town. The boards over the water were uneven, rattling her from side to side like a cheap, twirling carnival ride. Jillian raised her eyebrows but didn't say a word. Where they were going didn't matter. She was with the one she wanted to be with. She needed to stop worrying about lingering memories and just relax. He parked by a three-story building and climbed out. She waited, not sure what to do. The malts and burgers were still on the seat beside her. Surely they weren't stopping here. This place was scary even in daylight. She didn't plan on staying around to see how it looked in less than an hour. When he opened her door, he raised his arms to catch her. "Come with me." He encouraged as if offering far more than a lift down from the high seat. Her legs were plenty long enough to take the step out, but she slid into his embrace. He lowered her to the ground. For moment they were so close they touched as they breathed. She thought he might lean in slightly and kiss her, but he simply brushed his cheek against her hair. "Trust me, Jillian, you're going to like this restaurant." He grabbed his raincoat from behind the seat, handed her the drinks and picked up their meal. Following him into the building, she was surprised to see how sound the old factory seemed to be. The ceiling was tall, over twenty feet. Decaying ropes still hung from pulleys, and worktables stood dusty, silently waiting for craftsmen to arrive. The windows were high, ribboning the building with natural light. Staying close, she whispered as though she might disturb ghosts, "What did they used to make in here?" "I'm not sure. I think parts of oil rigs were shipped in and assembled here. I don't know much about it, but there's an old Christmas tree over there in the corner." He pointed to a six-foot structure that was formed from a mixture of valves, spools and fittings welded together. "They're used at oil or gas well sites. I see them in the oil fields around. I'm not really sure why they call them Christmas trees. A roughneck would have to be drunk to mistake this jumble of metal for a tree." She turned in a complete circle. "Nice restaurant." "Oh, we're not there yet." He pointed to a staircase along one wall. "We've got rooftop seating." Suddenly excited, she climbed ahead of him, her shoes tapping a rhythm in double time. At the top, she waited impatiently with a malt in each hand. He juggled the bag of burgers as he shoved the heavy door open. They stepped onto the rooftop with no one else around. She could see for miles in every direction. The trees, the fields. Oil rigs, scattered homes and barns, schools and churches. "It's beautiful!" The sun's low glow gave everything a golden light. He set the bag down and spread his raincoat out like a tablecloth on an air vent cover. "It's not yet, but it will be." He pulled up two empty five-gallon buckets to use as stools. She sat the malts down. "You've been to this restaurant before." "Guilty. But I've never brought anyone here. Only you." While he unwrapped his burger, she looked around, pointing out everything as if he was also seeing it for the first time. "Look how winding the creek is." "I had no idea there were so many trees." "Oh, look at those horses running." She loved the way the evening clouds moved over the land, darkening the hues of the earth in shadow as they drifted. "It's winter now, not near as pretty as it'll be come spring." He set his hamburger beside hers and came to join her near the roof's edge. "I lease that flat land out to a farmer who plants cotton every spring. That brown dirt will look like a green carpet in a few months." "I won't be here in spring." She let the wind catch her words as she turned away from him and the view. The black tar roof beneath her feet was all she saw now, but she stared hard, willing not one tear to fall. This time. This place she would miss. When she left, Jillian knew memories would be packed in her heart. A year from now, a decade, a lifetime, she'd still remember the beauty of this view in winter and wonder how it looked in spring.
"Compelling and beautifully written." —Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author on Ransom Canyon

~The micro-credentialing badge program is phenomenal! For someone who loves and needs a checklist to keep track of such a busy life, the badge program lends a streamlined platform to check off each evidence and share experiences with our network of SIM professional developers across the nation. SIM is truly the best kept secret in education, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to be apart of and earn micro-credentials with such an impactful organization.
~I truly appreciate that the credentialing program helps not only to recognize teachers for the work they do in the classroom (to bridge the gap for struggling learners); it helps to validate the need for this type of instructional model to build the necessary skills/strategies needed by our students.

The Paper Kites - Revelator Eyes
#SKNDPLDR Roundup
So far, the Saskatchewan NDP's leadership campaign has been awfully quiet. And with a membership deadline looming for anybody who wants to be able to vote in the leadership election, time is running out for anybody looking to attract support from outside the party's existing membership base.
While it remains to be seen whether she'll success, Kaitlyn Harvey has taken a couple of steps which should pique some interest: announcing the endorsement of Seth Klein as one of the country's prominent voices for climate action, and unveiling a platform based on principles of sustainability and harm prevention, as well as a far more honest assessment of the costs of maintaining the status quo.
There's some obvious potential for those messages both in establishing Harvey's bona fides within the climate justice movement, and for the party's future path as a part of that movement. But time is running short to convert that potential into memberships and votes.
Meanwhile, Carla Beck's campaign has demurred from releasing a detailed platform. Instead, she's offered a list of priorities with a few policy proposals, along with an explanation for not going into much more detail than that. (And there's actually another reasonable argument on that point which she doesn't address, which is the effort underway to improve the NDP's internal policy development.)
Not surprisingly, Beck has also added to her list of endorsements - though it's hard to see those as a novel development in a race where she's had establishment support lined up behind her from day one.
We'll find out fairly soon whether there are any surprises in the membership numbers which may affect the balance of the race. In the meantime, though, a quiet campaign looks to favour Beck as the default favourite.

And David Sirota warns that an ineffectual and captured Democratic administration is only reinforcing that nihilistic sentiment.
- Finally, Alex Himelfarb offers a message of hope and solidarity for collective action in a time which demands it.

- Kelsey Langston makes the case for the Moe government to start funding harm reduction - though the next indication that it cares a whit about saving lives will be the first. And Zak Vescera reports on the Saskatchewan Party's appalling insistence that it won't bother to do anything to work on suicide prevention even after it passed legislation confirming the ongoing need for a strategy.
- Clement Nocos offers a backgrounder on how to implement universal mental health care in Ontario (in advance of an election campaign where that's on the table thanks to the NDP).

- Meanwhile, AUPE points out that the UCP's reaction to the increased prevalence and risk of wildfires has been to slash its firefighting budget and assume without evidence that it can count on a shorter wildfire season.
- John Anderson offers a helpful reminder of the subsidies still being shoveled toward the fossil fuel industry which is using public money to cook our planet while systematically enriching the least scrupulous people alive.

- Finally, Paris Marx writes that Elon Musk's Twitter takeover shows how our current platforms for conversation are little more than billionaires' playthings, while Joshua Potash reminds us of Musk's selective interest in free speech which includes arbitrary action against labour and environmental voices as well as anybody who points out even the most glaring of flaws in his own self-promotion. Max Fawcett makes the case for increased regulation of the social media sites that currently dominate the flow of information, while Edward Ongweso Jr. and Ben Burgis each argue that we should instead be setting up open and publicly-administered alternatives.

On set identities
While there's been some attention paid to Environics' polling on provincial identity politics, little of it seems to have noted just how little public interest there is in a highly concerted effort to build up a Saskatchewan sovereigntist movement.
After all, Scott Moe's Saskatchewan Party has gone far out of its way (backed of course by big Alberta oil money) to spend time demanding more power as a "nation within a nation", rather than using the authority it has to keep Saskatchewan's people safe and healthy. And much of its excuse for doing so is the presence of other theoretical competitors for the anti-Canadian title - from the Buffalo Party which parlayed the province's largest out-of-province donation into a few distant second-place finishes, to whatever is currently bubbling up in the fever swamps of anti-vaxxers.
Yet for all the money, power and fanaticism behind those efforts, Environics' polling shows only 24% wanting more to be done to build a provincial identity separate from Canada...compared to 20% taking the position that we should change course to stop wasting our time. (And of course the largest single share is of those who choose the middle, "same" option rather than wanting to increase the resources being put into stoking separatism for amusement and profit.)
Of course, it's far from clear that Moe or any of his fellow travelers have the slightest clue what a Saskatchewan identity would look like other than to be a fully-owned subsidiary of the Alberta conservative movement. But we should be both reassured by the fact that our fellow citizens aren't taking the bait no matter how much of a noise machine is dedicated to pitching it - and outraged that our government is so bent on a cause which is so obviously out of touch with what's important to the province's actual people.

- Stephanie Desmon interviews Ziyad Al-Aly about the danger COVID-19 poses for the heart - even for people with mild cases which have otherwise seemingly run their course. Megan Ogilvie, May Warren and Kenyon Wallace report on new research showing the avoidable risk that unvaccinated people create for people who have had their . And Justin Chandler talks to three Ontario medical officers of health about the need for masks - with all recognizing the continued importance of wearing masks even if their political circumstances have made orders difficult to pursue.
- In the context of Elon Musk's imminent takeover of Twitter in the name of "free speech", Robert Reich warns that any talk of freedom by billionaires (or their media mouthpieces) inevitably means they're looking for a way to exert even more control through their wealth. And Alex Pareene writes that the alt-right is dedicated to trying to undermine the very idea of journalism in the sense of discovering and reporting truth - particularly as that tends to prove inconvenient for the movement's funders looking to protect wealth gathered through exploitative means.
- Meanwhile, David Moscrop writes that progressives can't afford to cede the notion of populism to the fascists using it to posture as defenders of the working class.
- Andrew Jackson discusses the damage done by decades of neoliberalism while reviewing Gary Gerstle's The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order.
- Finally, Jen St. Denis rightly asks why we aren't building affordable homes when that would require nothing more than following the precedent set in the 1970s. And Chris Ballard questions why the Ford PCs are going out of their way to make Ontario homes less energy-efficient.

But Michael Lee reports on Peter Juni's warning that yet another new wave this fall is nearly inevitable in Ontario. Will Stone and Maria Godoy highlight why it's still wise to mask on public transport even when it's no longer required, while Jamie Ducharme writes that one-way masking is still far better than nothing (even if it falls well short of evidence-based public health protections). And Beeke Tappe et al. find that yet another side effect of COVID is its making the body more vulnerable to pathogenic molds.
- Harriet Mercer discusses the importance of the IPCC's acknowledgment that colonialism is linked to the climate crisis. And Mark Omara et al. examine how a small number of low production oil and gas wells are producing a massive proportion of the U.S.' fugitive methane emissions.

I am accountable for my words.
I'm indirectly involved in a situation that cropped up in the neighborhood recently - I say indirectly, because I wasn't a part of it but affected by the outcome. Situations that make me grit my teeth and knot my hands up are draining. And bad for the psyche. While it all seems to be blowing out to sea now, the things adults do in the name of pride astound me.
Communication-wise, we live in a digitally-based, always instantly recall-able world. I know that anything I write here will be tied to my name (and that of my children) forever. I can write rants about whatever I want, as long as I realize that whatever I write will always be able to be found - and attributed to me. Something that gets forgotten sometimes, in this age of facebook, twitter, and instant messaging is that all this data is stored.
A perennial point for bloggers: Do I have the right to talk about my children? Post pictures? Refer to them by their real names? Is there a cut-off point - a cut-off age? Should I worry that people will read what I've written here and use it to tease my kids? Are my children property? Do i put the kids in danger by posting their faces? There are a lot of different answers - the short and sweet one being to go with your comfort level. The rest is up to the individual blogger.
My stance is that I DO have the right to talk about my children. They are part of my world, and figure largely in my writing. I will not embarrass my kids here on purpose - I can't imagine?? - but I have no guilt about relating their stories. When I first started daysgoby, they both had nicknames, but those wore off after about a week. Referring to them without using their correct names felt stiff and wrong, like I was writing about paper dolls.
My children are not my property. I don't own them. They have their own stories that they'll tell as they get older. While they live with me and interact daily, while their lives touch mine every day and our lives get bound up together? I think I do have the right to talk about them.
Oh, and my husband. I've called him Bear for years - because at first it was a privacy issue (I had no idea how he'd feel about being outed on a blog) and then it was habit. Given his job, though, I think I'll keep him as Bear. Because I don't need him to be accountable for my words.
I can do that all by myself.
Some day my kids will have a blog (or whatever weird thing will be *it* then) and they will talk about me. Will I ask them to stop (especially if they post pictures of me without makeup or using photoshop)? Maybe, but will they have to? No.
Totally. I think about this on occasion too. And then, I post about the time I had diarrhea.
These are important things to realize. There is no anonymity on the internet, even if a blogger uses a fake name, hides his/her location, and never posts photos of the family. Someone will figure out who you are and that ranting post you wrote about your mother-in-law/boss/stepmother/whomever? Will definitely eventually reach that very person's eyes.
I make sure that I don't blog about anything that I'd hate to have come back to me later. I don't write about my extended family or my husband's family unless I am talking about them with love. I don't tell stories about my husband and children that would embarrass them.
I wasn't always so careful and, a couple years ago, was confronted by a relative who took offense with my blog even though there was nothing in it about her. Still, I went through my archives and deleted dozens of posts that could, with the greatest stretchings of imagination, be offensive to that person.
As my girls get closer to teenagehood, I am more careful about what I say about them and the photos I post about them. Eventually, I probably won't say much about them all.
My family (husband and children) is very aware of my blog, but I'm not sure that my girls truly understand how far it reaches, so even if I were to ask their permission to blog about them, they wouldn't quite get it, so I self-censor on their behalf.
My rule of thumb is to try to limit myself to only writing things on my blog that I would feel happy saying to the person's face. And to try and keep a clear line on which stories are mine to tell. I use my friends in real life to have a proper no-holds-barred sound off!
