I was part of an animation podcast! @stylusrumble.bsky.social hosted and we talked animation industry stuff youtu.be/dUzko5DH9UE?...

Instead of protecting Canadians from scams, Mark Carney’s Liberals are planning to develop a framework for stablecoins after crypto billionaires spent big to buy one in the United States. The government claims it will “benefit men and youth by improving prosperity and good governance.” 🫠

As a resident of the far north end, I would be very curious to know if there is a restrictive covenant on the Novalea/Duffus strip mall or the little complex at the corner of Willow and Agricola. Pretty sure those both used to include grocery stores. Maybe even both Sobeys or Sobeys-ownes brands?

Oh yeah!! The bit of Chaucer I quote the most, whenever I get a veggie box (including leeks), is "eke lekes"!

Reminder that sex segregation was implemented not to "protect women" but to protect the egos of cis men who got beat by women athletes

THEY ARE SO HARSH IN THE NIGHT! @ _ @

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman. They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

The distance in time between now and when Microsoft Office replaced drop down menus with the ribbon bar at the top is the same as the distance between then and the fall of the Berlin Wall

Guts and serotonin! One of my favourite combos to go on about! Did you know that antidepressants can be used to treat some digestive disorders (such aa visceral hypersensitivity) because there are so many serotonin receptors in our guts?

This is so interesting. Strikes me that HHS in the US is determined to frame hormone therapy (which is important and effective treatment for some people!) as the cure for bitches, crones, and scolds.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart. If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

#MondayMood 🛫⁠ ⁠ A striking white coloration makes this spiny skate (Bathyraja spinosissima) easy to spot. These active swimmers hover and glide well above the seafloor, while their relatives tend to stay close to the bottom. This species is especially common in rocky lava fields.

Well done @antihate.ca for this investigative reportage, and also CBC radio for leading their 8am World Report with it.

Is this “dismount and walk” sign permanent? What are we doing?

Update from Nova Scotia Environment: this week’s list of newly protected lands increases by a minuscule 0.01% the amount of protected land & water in NS. A sorry 13.76%, up from 13.75%, far short of the 15% required by March 2026, 20% by 2030. West Mabou Beach Park is Premier Houston’s Owl’s Head.

Hey #Halisky, any suggestions for where I might donate three double/full sheet sets? New but washed because I washed them and threw out the packaging before realizing I didn't like them. (Nothing wrong with them! I'm just a fickle bitch!)

I will miss him forever.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

The best comment I’ve seen so far in response to Tim Houston’s latest Remembrance Day-related manufactured drama has been; “if the provincial government really wants to show they think Remembrance Day is important, they should finally recognize it as a statutory holiday in Nova Scotia”

U.S. billionaire financier of Cabot Links golf resort in Cape Breton is Trumpian climate denier, Mike Keiser. Now the Cabot Group wants to take West Mabou Beach provincial park for a 3rd luxury golf course in Inverness, Nova Scotia. Keiser originally got his hands on the Cabot Links land for $1. 🧵

The median income of most Nova Scotians is $41,300. The average monthly cost of car ownership is $1,370 or $16,440 a year. The average monthly rent in Halifax is $2,095 or $26,340. If you are an average renting, driving Haligonian you make $41,300 and pay $42,780 for housing and transportation.

I took my brother and his dog down to the beach for sunset.

Ride or die? Die AND ride!

Make sure you sit on the toilet and google science-illiterate websites as a warm up before wearing.

Honestly this is part and parcel of why so much of "white culture" is hollow and grasping. We could have good things like connection and community, if only we would let go of white supremacy.

bring it on (sorry kids)

I really like this! Fills a lot of dead asphalt space with housing, much nicer transit terminal, and the people who live in the towers won't be able to see each other's nose hairs without binoculars.

I'm doing my best to get back into the habit of wearing masks on buses, in the grocery store, in the pharmacy, etc. -- anywhere people feeling under the weather (and there are lots of 'em!) are likely to drag themselves despite feeling cruddy.

When groups that collect royalties on behalf of writers & musicians try to churn up a moral panic around all/any copying and sharing (inc. educational copying & format shifts for disabled folks), it's worth remembering that (c) law is NOT a component of our social safety net.

I literally have a "Compost the Rich" sticker on my car. I was delighted to find it as it's a joke I've made for years.

Very frustrating to still see public campaigns like this from Delta PD telling kids to wear bright reflectors on their costumes and people to leave their bikes at home. The risk to pedestrians on Halloween comes from drivers, not cyclists.

I will admit that I wasn't aware that real-life families (not just TV/movie/book characters) used honourary aunt/uncle/cousin titles until I was in my 20s. And that's because I grew up in a *particularly* suspicious/insular white rural family that considered all but the closest relatives "outsiders"

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR supportjamaica.gov.jm

one of the worst things capitalism did to people was to link the feeling of getting your brain to push through something difficult, with the feeling of shame

small hurrah! glad kent came to her senses on that one

This subject cracks me up every time it bubbles up into my timeline. Everybody's heard of a dairy cow. But a dairy chicken? lol

Feed them to the wolves already.

I am very late coming across this thread, but in case anyone still wants to discuss: I attended this studio for a year when it first opened. None of the inside baseball justifies the tone in the video (did not see the sequels) but there IS a lot of inside baseball & some of it is really unfortunate.

might be one of the funniest videos i’ve ever seen

As car-centric as cities like Toronto and Halifax are, I'm very grateful that they have major sports & entertainment venues nestled right into their downtown cores. It could be so much worse. (But it could also be better!!! *glares in bikelane*)

You know, if you think about it, there’s almost something adorable about European philosophers thinking that the entire world is what they know Like you just want to pat them on the head and give them a cookie because they are so silly Except the violence of the Enlightenment was not cute!!
