When 8 people own as much as 3.6 billion, the "problem" isn't the social safety net. It is the greed at the top. Thank you for sharing Karen Fleshman, Esq..

🌈📚 📖 This Wretched Beauty: A Dorian Gray Remix by Elle Grenier @elleoftheball.bsky.social Haunted by a portrait that seems to taunt them, a conflicted young aristocrat spirals down a path to the worst possible version of themself Affiliate Link bookshop.org/a/100590/978... #booksky #queerbooks

I've written up a brief script for anyone who wants to call or write your representatives regarding this bill (yes, even the ones you think won't care). PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE. This bill *cannot* pass. You can find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

The thing is if Carly Rae Jepsen goes on tour in 2027 I’m contractually obligated to go

It is outrageous that Minister Leblanc was informed Canadian propellants used in artillery were sent to Israel via the US, during the genocide – and he did nothing to stop it. There is no Canadian arms embargo on Israel. The goods and technology keep flowing as Palestinians are massacred. 1/3

OpenAI employees pushed for the company to inform Canadian police about a user they thought would engage in real-world violence months before the person did just that, killing eight people in a horrific attack in Tumbler Ridge. The company only reached out to police after the shooting had occurred.

According to Rev. Dr. William Barber, to truly honor and reclaim the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy, people must return to King’s original, radical blueprint: organizing multi-racial, local, and state-level movements to challenge systemic injustices www.theroot.com/rev-william-...

I’m not saying I’ve been out a while, but the other day I was talking on the bus with a dad and his daughter (we were both wearing hats so she wanted to talk about her hat) And when he said “say goodbye to the young lady” I realized I was more surprised by the “young” part of that sentence 😂😭

Today’s the day: Contact your MP and tell them to vote for @jennykwan.bsky.social's No More Loopholes Act to stop the flow of Canadian arms to Israel via the US. Learn more here: armsembargonow.ca/nomoreloopho...

Came home to a hardcover copy of @elleoftheball.bsky.social's freshly-released THIS WRETCHED BEAUTY, which I'm super excited to start! Fortunately, the audiobook version ALSO just appeared in my library, so that's convenient. 🥰

Happy Book Birthday to THIS WRETCHED BEAUTY by @elleoftheball.bsky.social, a gloriously gothic trans retelling of The Picture of Dorian Gray set in the smoky underworld of 1860s London! 🪞 ✨ Out now! https://tinyurl.com/2nybm4zd

Me when I’m healthy: I want a soup so hot it makes me cry Me when I’m ill: I want a soup so hot it makes me cry (for medicinal purposes I swear)

Just a couple years ago it was "have fun being poor," "your job is going away, you're being replaced loser," "you better reskill because this is the only thing that matters now." So yeah I'm hostile to the idea and I think everyone into it is a thief and a loser

Booksellers are total heroes who keep us falling in love with reading. They are vitally important to our communities. So I'm delighted that for the next 2 days sales of the audiobook of Lessons in Magic and Disaster via @libro.fm will benefit BINC, which helps booksellers in need 🥰 libro.fm/binc

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

We should immediately follow Mexico’s lead and condemn this act of economic warfare. And we should step up with humanitarian assistance to the Cuban people, as NDP MP @alexboulerice.bsky.social calls for in this excellent parliamentary petition: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Obligatory “my book comes out next week” post before I move on to making Bluesky the one social media platform where I don’t think about work ✨

Two of the "journalists" who helped cover up these pedophiles' crimes by driving a young trans woman into hiding are Dareh Gregorian, who works at NBC News, and Lucy Carne, who continues to write trans panic articles nearly 20 years later.

Transness is a special, beautiful thing, and trans people deserve to be accepted exactly as we are, not only as proximal to cis people of our genders.

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

It is absolutely possible for people to become more media literate. It's not even that hard. But people fundamentally don't want to, because it's seen as "cringe". It's not seen as "productive". And the spaces that once rewarded this kind of proactive thinking don't really exist anymore.

Something I will say about the whole "people are more illiterate" now issue is that I think the devaluing and erasure of media analysis and critique as an art form is part of the problem. Yeah, some people can't read but even more people just don't think *thinking* about what they read matters.

A lot of the world’s problems could be solved if people could just admit they were wrong, accept new information, and change their mind.

“just as you outlined-this will create an immediate internet wave especially in the UK with coverage in all the major newspapers and so on” when I said all this shit was deliberately engineered by wealthy sex traffickers to keep us on the margins and vulnerable to see trafficking I fucking meant it

Just found out Interview With the Vampire is on Crave, hope nobody needs me for the foreseeable future

It's especially shitty of the universe to take Catherine O'Hara. Bullshit, really. We should have had another 1-2 decades of her bringing surprise joy to movies.

I was so nervous to put this book into the world because it's so personal to me. I wanted nothing more than for Cesar to be seen and loved in all his messy, vulnerable glory. I'm so freaking proud to have been awarded a Schneider Family Book Award Honor. Thank you, thank you, thank you

Setting aside the name, it’s also not like it being evil is somehow new information. It’s a military contractor that specializes in surveillance. One of its longest Wikipedia sections is titled “controversies.”

“Wow, I can’t believe that my employer Dr Evil tried to do evil. What a totally unexpected and unacceptable turn of events!”

THE COMPANY IS CALLED PALANTIR YOU CANNOT BE SURPRISED WHEN IT ACTS EVIL

Since I’m sure AI Minister @evansolomon.bsky.social won’t share this here: Hey Canada, let’s not forget we’re very much still complicit here. How about we spend less time talking about how good we are and more time holding our government to account for how they spend our tax dollars?

The Publishing for Minnesota auction launches this week to support groups providing legal aid, emergency assistance, food, and community resources to those in urgent need. www.32auctions.com/publishingfo...

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

1/ As the people of Minneapolis rise up against ICE, it's painful and shameful that Canadian companies are selling armoured vehicles to Trump's masked militia and providing tech support to the dept of Homeland Security.

It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason

Reject modernity (strange practices to make yourself look younger) Embrace tradition (that weird portrait in your attic that keeps getting older)

Love to see the Bruins down 6-0 💅🏻 Really warms the heart

Canada's big six banks made $70 billion in profits last year on the backs of working people. So I went to Bay Street to ask bankers whether it’s time for a wealth tax. If you agree, become a member of the NDP and let’s fight for it together: avilewis.link/join youtu.be/KfNEsh9Hx6s?...

Any politician who states they are going to run the government like a business should between out behind the woodshed and given a stern explanation that government is a not for profit entity and ther runs 100%differently than a business.

If “Labubu satanic panic” ends up being the square on my “far-flung called shots just in case” Bingo sheet I get to cross off I may laugh myself to death
