A Great Cat, this morning in Strathcona. #yvr #catsofbluesky

I know that Israel’s insistence on carrying out one horror after another is no surprise at this point, but it remains both disgusting and depressing.

A little tense, a little tense! But what a result…

Have to say I’ve been hugely enjoying the return of low/no-stakes spring training baseball. Makes a nice contrast to sweating through the end of a premier league game.

There's hundreds of elementary and middle and high schools on US military bases all over the world which are, to hear it from way too many Americans, also valid military targets

This guy conveniently loses those elbows of his when it’s time to bomb some school kids.

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest. In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

By the way when you see reports about how Israelis are going to bomb shelters, you should keep in mind that the vast majority of Palestinian *citizens* of Israel (in the 1948 territories, not the oPT) do not have a single bomb shelter nearby due to the apartheid system Israel has implemented.

Thinking maybe Mitski should do a full album that’s entirely about cats and dogs, like Mirah did with insects.

"Eight Palestinian men—shackled for the entire journey by their wrists & ankles—were flown from [AZ] & arrived in Tel Aviv the following morning after refueling stops in New Jersey, Ireland, & Bulgaria.... Some had been detained in ICE facilities for weeks; at least one was held for over a year."

If we’re celebrating the small wins, I’m pleased to report that I successfully opened the milk carton today after a recent run of unfortunate mishaps.

Is there anyone who actually wants all these things to be “hyper-personalized” and pedalled at them specifically? It sounds terrible.

Is it baseball yet

I know current standards are working their way down from the sub-basement to the haunted caverns below and people were quite high on that speech, but we can’t afford Carneys anymore.

I appreciate the ready abundance of washrooms in Fallout 4.

Lil before-bed request to check out my fashion + space opera anthology!! Would be really grateful for folks to back it. We are 8 days away from wrrapping up and have $4k to go.

This just in. The Dodgers offices are full of bees.

NEW: Group sending Canadian right-wing media personalities on free trips to Israel quietly funded by Israeli government Documents unearthed by @pressprogress.ca show Israel's foreign ministry granted the Exigent Foundation $175,000 CAD to bring "Canadian influencers and policymakers" to Israel

Please help little Jamal's family keep him alive through Israel's genocide. Jamal is diabetic, is recovering from burn injuries from IDF attacks, & has a severe chest infection that's giving him breathing trouble. His family needs $200 urgently for his treatment:

Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it. The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after. I’ve had a front row seat. 7/

If you are a citizen or have residency in Canada & want to stand up for refugees and migrants seeing their cases thrown out by the feds, can you go to this page, pick one thing, and do it? Email an MP or sign a petition or leave a voicemail: it all helps. migrantrights.ca/takeaction/

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

#bluejays Hopping back into the old time machine and wrestling Santander onto the operating table any time last year.

Imagining the equivalent of that ai books article from the other day with someone smugly enthusing over “winning the race” with how many surgeries they’re generating.

“Til the world ends, I’ll be braising.” Inspiring stuff. May you all find your braising.

I briefly thought he’d died, what with the outpouring of affection, but either way and even given the low bar we operate at these days, you really never have to hand it to Stephen Harper.

#booksky Having had a few nights of sleep ruined by Queen Demon, I’m starting to think I should read more Martha Wells. Any recommendations from before Murderbot and Rising World?

Telling myself it was definitely ai, partly so I don’t need to come to terms with how much messier my writing apparently is than a skier peeing in the snow.

Excited for this one! And while you’re over there pre-ordering you should really pick up The Years Shall Run Like Rabbits if you haven’t already.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

I thought for sure this was an old quote. He said this statement this morning.

Sidling into the performance review after a truly dismal four years and coyly suggesting that I might think about cracking open the old laptop if only they’ll give me another four.

"What exactly do you expect Carney to do / not do?" A thread of 50 specific items (with links, and not in any particular order), a large fraction of which are in line with warning signs we pointed out early on and were told to be quiet, wait and see, or trust his 4D chess acumen. 1/??

Thinking of everyone who’s been merrily dismissing the “hamas health ministry” statistics during the present genocide, I hope you’re having a terrible day.

Once again, I have inadvertently moisturized myself at your sink, where I expected to find soap.

Sad to no longer have Ali Ahmed with the Whitecaps, but it is nice to see him doing so well for Norwich. Scoring even! Which he never really managed much of in Vancouver.

You could be reading North Continent Ribbon(!) or And What Can We Offer You Tonight(!) instead of just gently writhing in illness on the sofa or whatever else it is we’re doing.

Mos Def - The Ecstatic

there's a change-in being staged at Vancouver City Hall next week, coinciding with the vote on a proposed budget that may see change tables removed from city facilities to "save money" www.instagram.com/p/DRNu5kYksgu/

At COP30 Canada just got awarded the fossil of the day — first time since 2014 (the harper years). Clear sign of how Carney’s pro fossil fuel agenda and backsliding on climate policy is being noticed internationally.

Aesop Rock?

I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...

Wistfully reading this in Vancouver…

Good morning. It’s budget day. I’m going to try and live skeet the proceedings so speakers know where we are at. First is staff presentation. 91 slides.

Volunteering has taken me to a Christmas craft fair today, and I was not at all prepared for this sudden immersion into the cold fluids of the holiday season. The lights, the songs, etc. it’s all quite a lot!

Hold on, friends! It's going to get spooky! To celebrate 10k followers, I'm answering your questions about Palestinian folklore here in this mega thread.

Have successfully eaten the ramen but further progress will have to wait until the cat moves.
