A chicken in every pot and a lock on every garbage can

So I live in the downtown area, and many of my neighbours are looking for a scrap of food or anything of value or anything to protect against the cold. This is a poverty problem, and treating humans like bears that go through trash isn't helpful.

Look at this ghoul. Hungry people digging through the trash leaves a mess sometimes! Who the hell looks at that problem and thinks "We MuSt PrOtEcT ThE TrAsh!"

Folks curious to compare what helped catalyze #IdleNoMore can watch free, 2-part @aptnnews.bsky.social documentary I co-created with @anishinaboy.bsky.social ! ▶️ youtu.be/VHgGbW6exB4?...

fuck

I know I don’t post here much anymore but just wanted you to know that Summer’s End by John Prime makes me feel sad, yet I cannot stop listening to it. That is all.

I really liked this piece, probably because I spent so much time there, too. www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...

M is for Man What the Fuck Are You Doing

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Sorry I missed this! Thank you for the fellowship and for your kindness & support. There is a persistent habit by mainstream media to dominate space/stories, even to obliterate or write over Indigenous ppls existence. These stories are important.

With arguably similar conditions in the offing of late, folks may wish to revisit the emergence of #IdleNoMore back in 2012—as documented in the two-part APTN News series, 'The Power Was With Us: Idle No More," now at 25,000 views! ▶️ WATCH 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=VHgG...

I am full of steak and bread pudding.

Yes.

“The UN said it identified 3,700 children suffering from acute malnutrition in March, up 80% from February.”

Fuuuuuuck.

Good to see they finally got the cape length right.

My biggest regret of this campaign is this stupid #debate2025 question:

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced Wednesday a major expansion of the military’s operation in Gaza involving the seizure of large areas of land that would be “incorporated into Israel’s security zones. #auspol #WarCrimes

Watching Spotlight is the only thing that makes me miss journalism.

Cut my hair and now I look like Elmer Fudd when I wear my favorite cap.

In British Columbia, “The ugliness that the Ministry allows industry to do, it’s another cultural genocide – without our Cedar trees, we can’t be us.” The Kwagu’ł ancestral lands are “being completely cleared, faster than anything else globally.” by @odetteauger.bsky.social for Watershed Sentinel

Coles Notes: RAPE THE LAND, AND YOU'LL BE RICH!!! #cdnpoli

I hanker for a hunk of cheese.

Efficient: now only one ministry has to sue/fight First Nations in court

There’s a special place in Hades replete with turnt tuna salad & In Sync playing on a constant loop for the crowd that was silent for half a million mostly women & children killed under Biden/Harris now telling ppl who opposed the genocide “Are you happy now with Trump?” Total moral disorientation.

I’m back on this app after a hiatus. Happy to see my favorite journalists and writers here. If you want to follow my writing, I’m putting out reflections in a research journal on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/nickestes

Sudden craving for Halifax donair.

The face of Canada to much of the non-European world: the home of some of the most brutal and rapacious corporations.

I’m listening to CCR’s ‘It’s Just a Thought’ and no one can do anything about it.

Canadians Who Are Famous In The UK But Not In Canada is one of my favourite genres of celebrity

Sometimes you just gotta start your day with some puffed wheat. Sometimes it’s all you can do in this crazy world….

Oh sweet baby Jesus the newfound Canadian patriotism & sanctimony is going to kill me. Yes, I’ll do my part but pretending we’re better is too much. Days after we learn Indigenous ppl have a TWENTY YEAR shorter lifespan?! Fuck OFF. let’s talk about how WE can be better so we avoid same fate.

This is it!

I should be sleeping in right now.

Fuck this, I’m going to bed.

Native people serve in the military at a higher rate than any other racial or ethnic group. The Defense Department will not celebrate Native American Heritage month this year. indianz.com/News/2025/02...

Forgot I like Roy Orbison.

I am urged to tell you that Matt Berry has a new album. Yes, it is on 8 track.

Can’t be said enough: the right in Canada bleated on for years about patriotism & people not being proud of Canada, of wokeness, reconciliation, statue removal, etc as the problem. Then they are first to lay down in front of a foreign strongman who makes them half chub horny. It was all bullshit.

This is the trailer to my movie SEEDS If you’re in so called Canada you can rent or buy on iTunes now 🌱 youtu.be/BL80faqt0L4?...

We’re all acting like everything is normal, meanwhile the Wichita Lineman is still on the liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnne….

Old enough to have many bands I forgot I liked.

The phantom itch in a lip frozen from dental work. Fuck.

I don’t mean to brag, but I made meatloaf tonight.

My amazing partner @ozhibiiige.bsky.social has been chosen to take part in the 24/25 Pimootayowin Creators Circle at the Manitoba Theatre Center, under the tutelage of playwright Ian Ross! royalmtc.ca/Artists/Pimo...

Speaking of Winnipeg: Come on down to Whodunit? Bookshop to meet @ozhibiiige.bsky.social and her beautiful new children’s book:

Let me be the first to say that it’s a bit chilly in Winnipeg.

I think it’s time for a tattoo or two.
