My favourite thing of the past year or so has regularly been when novel things I'm pushing myself towards become normal. Both because it means I'm growing, but also because it means I can move the goal post and keep going.

You know, in sharing my life for more than 15 years on Twitter and 20 years online, so much has changed. And yet, so much hasn't. Tomorrow at noon after much silence and reflection, I do both.
@_rkgg Hi everyone, thanks for bringing this to our attention. Earlier today, our staff and volunteers experienced harassment from convoy protestors seeking meals from our soup kitchen. The individuals were given meals to diffuse the conflict. Management was then informed of the (1/2)
@_rkgg issue and no further meals were given to protesters. Our soup kitchen is committed to providing meals to people experiencing and at risk of homelessness in Ottawa. This weekend’s events have caused significant strain to our operations at an already difficult time. (2/2)
No words to describe how insulting, degrading and desecrating this is, to stand on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which represents more than 100 000 of Canada’s dead who gave their lives for our freedoms and the right to protest. This is literally dancing on their grave.
After explaining to these less than fine Canadians of the hallowed grounds upon which they trode, this was their reaction in the name of Freedom. Unsat!
There are lots reasons for some of the anger out there and much aimed at the media, which I hear today, but we still have to get out in the crowds and listen and talk and report what we see and hear. Two old rules still apply: follow the money. And listen to people.
I am sickened to see protesters dance on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and desecrate the National War Memorial. Generations of Canadians have fought and died for our rights, including free speech, but not this. Those involved should hang their heads in shame.
They're not shouting for freedom; they're just shouting.
Had to run down and see it. Tonight, @cityofkingston is lit up green and purple to mark the 5th anniversary of the Quebec City mosque attack and Action Against Islamophobia. Huge love for any and all steps taken that encourage inclusion in this town. #ygk
