The bluesky address is @attie.ai and it really needs to be in the top five accounts blocked on this platform. This is honestly some of the most tonedeaf shit I’ve seen from BS and thats saying something

I don't think people in my field universally agree on anything ... and that's ok.

The World Cup should be an opportunity to build community and not one that displaces community. The VSSL provided a valuable service to the DTES and other at-risk communities, providing a moment of reprieve through joy and play. Local street soccer is more important than the FIFA World Cup. #vanpoli

Here we go ...

Hey folks - so word is out that I'm seeking nomination to run for city council with @vangreens.bsky.social. I ran for council in 2022. I'm a housing justice activist - I've advised and represented thousands of tenants. Back in 2021 I had this to say about how we need to do better by renters 🧵

As Vancouver prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Vancouver Street Soccer League has been forced off the field due to park restrictions, leaving players without a vital community space that's supported people facing homelessness, addiction and other barriers since 2008. @megaphonemagazine.com

In honor of the 20 year anniversary of the passing of “Parable of the Sower” and “Kindred” author Octavia E. Butler, @marinamasako.bsky.social rode the @metrolosangeles.bsky.social 18 Line to talk about her legacy. #MetroPartner

"Chip in" is what got us in this mess in the first place 🙂 ... but nonetheless a worthy cause👇 help @seanorr.bsky.social sue Ken Sim.

I doubt anyone who follows me here will be interested, or even know what I'm on about, but a whole section of an @theathleticfc.bsky.social video dedicated to Motherwell is worth the indulgence ... youtu.be/sQiIn9zWMvU?...

Academic Appendicitis? Question for journal editors whose fields/journals tend not to publish appendices: are you seeing an upsurge in the number of submissions with appendices? We've seen this 'appendicitis' in the last year and I'm a bit nonplussed. #academicsky

Thanks to @itsbethperry.bsky.social & @goodfellowtom.bsky.social for inviting me to their #UrbanRadar podcast to talk about my #UKRI_FLF on health crises. It's a privilege to talk about this work. I hope some of it is useful to those working in this space www.buzzsprout.com/2451716/epis...

Beyond obvious sympathy for business owners & ppl in flats in the building(?) this is sad & worrying for Glasgow's #architecture. The building is a lovely piece of Victorian design, but the blaze is right next to Central Station, a spectacular historic building ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow...

Whomst among us has not accused a colleague of an action we portray as dammingly negative, based on having a stranger briefly waive a photo before our faces and believing, without fact-checking, that said photo was solid evidence? Whomst, I ask? Whomst?! #vanpoli

We've been telling SFU these contractors are bad actors for half a decade now. Admin's claim that food & cleaning services aren't core functions basically amounts to saying these workers are expendable. UBC, UVic, and UBCO employ service workers directly. When will SFU do the right thing?

Remembered I’d come back to watch this….and so glad I eventually did!

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.

funny how that goes ...

“Eby’s NDP is using its reputation as a workers’ party to launder a budget that hurts the working class most.”

“Instead of asking those who have more to contribute more, the BC budget asks youth, working families, people in poverty and seniors to fend for themselves amid public services stretched beyond capacity and huge rural-urban gaps in access to health care, transit and other key services.”

“The budget lays the burden of austerity on the poorest in BC, while abandoning key investments in the care economy”

Late '90s, Nelsonville, Ohio. A rally for Willie Nelson's Farm Aid campaign. #JesseJackson, Martin Sheen. (Willie phoned in bc he couldn't come.) Someone brought a horse (who knows why, it's Ohio, not Texas!). Up Jesse goes, a bit wobbly at first, grabs someone's Stetson to complete the look. 🧵👇 1/2
