Chills. Thousands of Alberta high school students walked out of class to the legislature. They’re fighting back against UCP attacks on education. They’re standing up for teachers. They’re our future and I couldn’t be prouder. ✊🩷

NEW WORKSHOP!! Sabrina Imbler will teach "Writing Alongside the Nonhuman" on Sept 15, online. It is one thing to write about animals, plants, and other non-human beings, but what would it look like to write with them? 🌱🐈🌸 www.workshops4gaza.com/calendar/wri...

This workshop benefits the Sameer Project's Medical Campaign, which provides medical aid to Palestinians amidst a catastrophic healthcare situation in Gaza. chuffed.org/project/1368...

A great question Jim! You have indeed heard that sharks don't get cancer, perhaps from the bestselling book "Sharks don't get cancer." But it is sadly a lie that is used to sell pseudoscience "shark pills" to desperate cancer patients. Sharks get cancer.

From coast to coast, over 16,000 Canadians are standing up for International Humanitarian Law. Join them. Sign the petition: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/now-more-tha...

We don’t need to be political experts to assert that the value of their lives is not determined only by diplomatic recognition. State recognition alone is not a substitute for the urgent actions needed to protect people amid genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine.

If Canada can speak up for statehood, it can certainly also stand up for humanity: to protect civilians, safeguard hospitals, and demand accountability for war crimes when it is needed most.

Good morning, my shop is open & there are new zines & handmade paints in it! lycomorpha.etsy.com I'll be closed this Friday to next Monday while I'm on the road again, so the last orders bell will ring on Thursday. TY 💖

my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”

Imo this is the all-time winner in that category

I start my new job in two weeks on October 6. It’s a year-long contract (fully remote) for $180k, which works for me b/c it gets me exactly what I need & allows me to accomplish a helluva lot. Also, a reminder: if you’re a Black software engineer, DM me b/c they’re still recruiting to fill spots.

Happy Earth, Wind, & Fire Day to all!

Do YOU remember “the 21st night of September?” Earth Wind & Fire’s co-writer Allee Willis said she told the band: “We can’t leave ‘baa-dee-ya’ in the chorus. That has to mean something.’” Maurice White replied: “No, that feels great. That’s what people are going to remember. We’re leaving it.”

This made me check to see if @thekarlapacheco.bsky.social is on here ☠️

The autocorrect on my brand new Samsung phone is incredible garbage. I have to re-read every post carefully before posting and correct the complete nonsense it inserts EVERY TIME. Nice LLM you got there.

Debating people's right to exist is how we get the genocide in Occupied Palestine. Israelis debated Palestinians' right to exist and decided the answer was no. You know who wasn't consulted? Palestinians. Funny how that happens when we debate people's rights like that.

Reclaiming lands is a multi-pronged process. Too much of Hawaii is owned by colonizer billionaires! The only acceptable amount of land in their possession or under their control is 0 square feet!

It’s the same dividing and geopolitical forces that underlie each of our causes. Grateful for this broad gathering that genuinely explored and expressed our interconnections and shared aspiration for life nurturing future. #DrawTheLine rally in Calgary today. For people, peace, planet. Some scenes:

Dave Cockrum, who penciled arguably the most important run of X-Men comics, was the nicest guy you could hope to meet. When I was 11 he let me sit at his con table and draw with him for the afternoon.

We need just 3 more members to be halfway to our fundraising goal of 80 new monthly members in September! Want to hit that halfway point tonight but only you can make that happen. If you value our independent Calgary journalism, help us out! sprawlcalgary.fundjournalism.org/donate/

tbh if you know a teenager (any teenager, no matter who they are or how well you think they're doing) please go and tell them that you think they're great and you like them. you don't need to elaborate. just say it. they'll be awkward and uncomfortable about it. but they'll remember it forever

1 in 10 people in Gaza has now been massacred by Israel.

Fascists treat debate like you're trying to plead with them for permission to exist, and they can withhold it and say you didn't convince them. It's not about the facts, truth, or human rights to them. It's a performance to indoctrinate people and put a target on their opponents.

Here's a Swamp Thing.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

I love fiber arts people so much. Sign is from the Dye Mad Yarns booth ( dyemadyarns.com ). I may have bought a bunch of yarn from them. 🥰

For those who aren't familiar, H1B visas aren't just used in the tech industry. They are also widely used by universities, hospitals, engineering firms, and other industries that rely on extensive training. Fees were previously under $5k -- still high, but doable, and many employers would pay them.
