Militarized armoured vehicles made by a Canadian company are being sold to ICE. In fact, Doug Ford spoke to the press in December to say the recent order for 20 such vehicles was “fantastic news.” We don’t think so. What about you? act.gp/3ZBdF4J #CloseTheLoopholes

2026 was the year that we took our power back from the billionaires & supremacists. The year that we rediscovered the practice of revolutionary & radical love. That we stopped trying to punish ourselves into being better people. 2026 was the year we embraced the end so we could find the beginning.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Feeling festive. ❄️

RIP my TBR 🧡 @sadiehartmann.bsky.social 💙 my library

Canada petition of the day: I like to call this the "stop fuckin' lyin'" petition. basically a stand against mis/disinformation by holding Members of Parliament to a standard of not fuckin' lyin'. I'll sign that! Pass it on, Canada! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

OPINION: "Demonologists offered no original analysis, no evidence and no witnesses, failing to meet the standards of good scholarship," Julia Walsh writes.

I just finished The Massacre at Yellow Hill by @cshumble.bsky.social (the first book in the Amidst the Vastness of All Else saga) and loved it! Ready for the next, A Red Winter in the West.

Still reading, still crafting. ✨️ Book: The Black Lord by @chinckleys.bsky.social Pattern: Witchcrafts by @thewitchystitcher.bsky.social

I'm not sure who turned my words into a meme, and included U.S. citizens (most of whom do not want a new war!), but I appreciate how many people are connecting with it. May all of us, in all of our different situations, somehow help bring the justice this world so desperately needs. 💔

The view from the Guardian on how Canadian politicians are betraying the call from our people to stand up for democracy and the rule of law. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As marines descend on LA, as Trump moves closer and closer to martial law, it will be tempting to victim-blame. To equivocate. To find some reason the protesters deserve what’s coming. They don’t.

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

I'm excited to try some natural dyes on these lovely skeins of Canadian wool! Happy to support your farm @topsyfarms.bsky.social !

Just finished "Theory of Water: Nishnaabe Maps to the Times Ahead" by @biidaasamose.bsky.social Nibi has never given up. 💙

Canada has raised concerns over the genocide in Palestine. The Israeli army responded by firing on our diplomatic team. Israel is a terror regime. Canada needs to bring in full sanctions, suspend all trade and ensure investigations into any Canadian who serves in the IDF.

The best Saturday plans: * Reading a book by @sgj.bsky.social * Knitting * A play later today at a small local theatre

Alberta First Nations issue cease and desist order against Danielle Smith's attempt to create a national unity crisis. Alberta is on treaty lands. Those treaties were signed 30 years before Alberta became a province.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

"The death of human empathy is one of the most telling signs of a culture about to descend into barbarism."

Local yarn store day and indie bookstore day being the same day (tomorrow!) is delightfully dangerous.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

Finished off the first single, and plied it this weekend. Embracing my snail pace.

I just finished "The Between" by @tananarivedue.bsky.social today, and it was so good! Jumping into "The Good House" audiobook next!

Taking the spindle outside and enjoying the sunshine.

The Trump people claim to be fighting antisemitism, and the media often accept that framing. I believe, on the contrary, that these actions are antisemitic in intention and in execution. I explain in a short video: snyder.substack.com/p/fomenting-...

Listening to Bob the Drag Queen's audiobook "Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert" while hearing about her removal (apparently temporary) from the National Parks Underground Railway memorial, was quite the moment. I'm happy to have received a fascinating history lesson through Bob's story & music.

A lovely spring Equinox surprise from @scottishfolkmagic.bsky.social in my mailbox this morning!

Some great ideas in here by @avilewis.bsky.social: breachmedia.ca/trumps-econo...

“The answer to fascism isn’t more nationalism—it’s deeper democracy, stronger communities, empowered labour movements, and unwavering commitment to justice for all.” @erinblondeau.bsky.social 💯🔥 rabble.ca/columnists/f...

Got a bit personal and wrote this blog for @leadnowca.bsky.social to talk about the rise of anti-immigration rhetoric in Canada, why migrant scapegoating is happening, and what we can do about it: leadnow.ca/migrant-just... In the context of the upcoming election, it feels more relevant than ever.

We can upload 3 minute videos now. YOU KNOW THE RULE

In light of the US National Park Service censoring all references to trans & queer folk from their Stonewall page, today’s a great day for MARSHA’S MYTHIC BRICK, a spell of queer rage from my Little Book of Wicked Spells:

Snow day cuddles and a newly finished handknit.

Not to be that wellness girl, but as the increasingly terrifying war of annihilation on trans people and many other communities continues, it is absolutely essential that we continue to practice the skills of spiritual & emotional resilience, if only to keep from turning on one another.

Happy Lunar New Year! 🐍 May the year of the snake be the moment when you finally shed your skin, press your heart against the earth, and figure out how to unhinge your jaw so that you can devour your enemies, bones and all. 🌙

Every MLK Day, people who’d likely have opposed him in life share out-of-context quotes. They focus on unity while ignoring his sharp critiques of inequality, inaction, and complicity. Let’s honor his full legacy by reflecting on the truths many would rather forget. 🧵 (I made time this morning 😏)

Knitting up advent minis and enjoying the colour changes.

Three becoming-yarn stages. The second spun rolag has now also been plied, and the third rolag started its transformation into yarn today. Thank you to @nyxieh.bsky.social for carding and gifting the fiber. 🩵

Holiday spinning thanks to @nyxieh.bsky.social

A quiet Sunday morning.

This week's reading: "Withered Hill," "The Fright Before Christmas," "The Lost Village," and "Lanny." If forced to choose a favourite, it would be Withered Hill, but Lanny had the most emotional impact.

The first six in a series of tiny joys with this advent by TinyHumanKnits. I'm enjoying watching the gradient unfold.

#horror goals

I'm about 90% into listening to the folk horror novel "The Haar" by @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social , and out of nowhere, the name Bianca Del Rio appears. You never know where she'll pop up! Lol

Robin Wall Kimmerer is such a gift. Her books are soul-nourishing, and I love listening to her read them. I'm torn between taking it in in one go and parceling it out in many small, delicious moments.
