I’m excited that I’ll get to vote against Bradford for mayor AGAIN! (Hope he gets trounced in his own ward again.) I’m more excited by the prospect of having @jennie1ofmany.bsky.social as our new councillor.

Me: I’ll go to Word on the Street, but I’m not going to buy anything. Also Me: Look at all these cool books I found!

😡🤬

Pissed off about the government allowing Canada Post to end home mail delivery? Time to send a message to PM Carney. www.pm.gc.ca/en/connect/c...

"Which is closer to your view about changes in the climate in Canada?" They worry me: 63% They don't worry me: 21% There aren't really any changes in the climate: 9% Leger / Sept 21, 2025 / n=1521 / Online

Dammit!🤬

Please share: 14 hours left! We aren’t helpless. More than ever, survival funds are a tether to life & dignity. And this week we’re materially helping EIGHT families flee from under literal fire in Gaza City. Is that hopeless? Or life? 104/1000

I TA’d a public speaking class in grad school, and a lot of us in the film department wouldn’t let students do their commemorative speech on Walt Disney on account of what a POS he was.

Reposting this for future reference.

My week: Pulp on Tuesday Sparks on Wednesday Sarah Milligan on Friday Draw the Line protest on Saturday Art and defiance are good for the soul.

Still no reply from my MP @beynate.bsky.social about whether he participated in this shameful display.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

I did not know Jarvis is only 2 (and a bit) years older than me.

I’m so pissed off that we’ve banned Kneecap 🤬😡

Sylvester has always been my fave Doctor. Now even more so.

Ope, time to watch this again. "even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward."

Yay!

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures. This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Just the essay I needed today.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is May. May was pregnant and studying information technology at university before the war. She’s lost her home and tragically both her husband and unborn child were killed. She’s now living with her family and they are being displaced.

It’s only taken a century or so, but would you look at that, some badass women have invented a better solution to the speculum (which is essentially a torture device). www.brightvibes.com/lilium-specu...

Ontario taxpayers are on the hook for at least $2.2B to pay for a private spa and a parking lot that they’ll have to pay to use but Doug Ford says “photo radar is a tax grab!”

A thread on writing joy.✒️

The beauty of this #Banksy is not just the art & the message but also the perfectly awkward dilemma it presents to the British Establishment: to erase or not to erase it? This is now the question & their problem. Such a valuable piece of scathingly accurate critical art about our judicial system.

I really should start posting reviews of what I’m seeing at TIFF. In the meantime, have this pic of me in front of the mobile Criterion Closet. (No, I did not wait in line for it. Got movies to see, man.)

Ah, our councillor is embarrassing us again. (WTF, Bradford. East York too dangerous for you? 🤨)

😡 Still not over when the IT VP at my last employer bragged about how good the company was at hiding revenue from the government. 🤬🤬🤬

FYI Liberal MPs and staff here’s my signal (and my DMs are open elsewhere) if you want to tell me how you how you really feel about this! Happy to protect your anonymity! Already have some bites so you won’t be alone 👀 signal.me#eu/EEWj4Uiwf...

Looks like it’s time to use this form to contact PM carney: www.pm.gc.ca/en/connect/c... No Project 2025 in Canada!

What. The. (And I mean this sincerely.) Fuck?! Carney was voted in to prevent fascists from taking over. Not to invite them through the front door.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

Want to stop Carney’s austerity budget? Sign this.

What every country should be doing about Gaza and Israel RIGHT NOW.

I had back surgery as a kid and couldn’t imagine having to recover from it while homeless.

Carney & Canada's statements on Gaza are completely vacuous & shameless Gaza doesnt need Canada's pity. Canada is still arming Israel. Canada must implement full and immediate arms embargo. And sanction Israel. And suspend all military and trade agreements. Escalate to break imperialist consensus

I support Sally Rooney. She can't publish her statement in a UK newspaper — because that would now be illegal. But you can read her message in support of Palestine Action in the Irish Times, here: www.irishtimes.com/culture/book... #STOPtheGENOCIDE www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

The Air Canada flight attendant strike was illegal. It was also profoundly Canadian. As Jen ‪Hassum explains in a new column, Canada’s democracy depends on defiance, not obedience. Read it here: ricochet.media/labour/the-a... #AirCanada #cdnpoli @hassum.bsky.social

Well, fuck. 🤨

The best thing to have is enough.

Want to make sure Canadian politicians are held responsible for lying? Sign this petition!

I’m going to be using this A LOT.

The Carney government has badly misjudged the mood of Canadians. People are shocked at the unfairness of unpaid work. It's hitting everyone working their asses off and still struggling with the cost of living. The 99% are with the workers today!

Good for them!

Some good news! Though of course the funding for this great program is at risk…

Let's make this a little less passive: Israel killed four (more) journalists.

Point Break over everything. Yes, even The Matrix.

My cartoons for this week’s @theguardian.com books #holiday #vacation #reading

This past week, CBC's Commotion had a controlled, disjointed and frankly stupid conversation about Gaza, musicians being political and protest music. I gave the segment an autopsy. How CBC controls the message -- noraloreto.substack.com/p/an-autopsy...

A thread worth reading.
