Ewww but no "Vanishing and Endangered Cultures" your name is rank and I don't want you following me omg.

Turns out you can mix up a small bowl of lemon buttercream icing and just eat it.

I forgot to take some of my meds yesterday and today my brain barely works, whew.

Who stands to benefit from the gutting of Canada Post? The billionaire class. If Mark Carney were really serious about nation-building, Dru OJa Jay writes how the post office could become an engine for green energy, public banking, and better services. breachmedia.ca/canada-post-...

None of the doctors we've seen will accept an ADHD diagnosis from Talk With Frida, so I've got to somehow come up with $2200 for just ONE of us to get a diagnosis. It's so frustrating! All 6 of us have ADHD. Two have "acceptable" diagnoses. I have to choose 1/4 now AND rustle up funds. AAARRGH!

Since quitting my job, I've been getting better in ways that I thought were impossible. But one area I'm still really struggling with is eating. I still can't bring myself to cook for myself - once I finish cooking I am repulsed and can't eat. So lately I'm making big pots of soup and freezing.

A very poignant incident yesterday during a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation event. While a Survivor spoke to a crowd, a man stood across the street shouting. "I remember. 1957, they took me, and turned me into a criminal. Which is what I am!" And he walked off. Another Survivor.

Trump declared war on a bunch of cities - at what point, and I mean this in earnest, is this a civil war?

Gearing up to support Alberta teachers on strike. Fuck the UCP, who have made their campaign against public schools VERY clear for years now: globalnews.ca/news/4067888...

This is a must-read for anyone in academia. While it focuses on administrative positions in certain parts, it's such an excellent resource with stats and critiques of all the indigenization/reconciliation rhetoric that it's got something for everyone. Highly recommend.

Portland's history of racism extended to at least one of its most prominent historical anarchists, Henry Addis, who edited, sequentially, two of the city's anarchist newspapers. In 1900, he wrote an attack on Indigenous peoples titled "Savagery and Anarchy", published in Discontent out of Washington

conservative canadians continuing to be absolute trash. Genocide denial is fucking gross.

These universities are all just absolute dupes at the top, huh

Fuckshits weren't crying "separate the art from the artist" when they were banning Kneecap from Canada, just to have "terrorism" charges dropped soon after.

"Separate the art from the artist" fuckshit.

This move by the U of A had the effect of political placation - by signalling that Professor Ashley was "being punished," right-wing extremists particularly in the U.S. were emboldened in their campaign of harassment.

"By placing me on leave, the University implicitly condoned and supported the targeted harassment of progressive academics across the United States and Canada for expressing a wide range of views critical of Charlie Kirk as part of a large-scale effort to have them terminated." #UAlberta

Well don't I feel stupid

We must move past a simplistic view of techno nationalism and embark on the challenging work of establishing digital infrastructures that are powerful, participatory, transparent, and fundamentally accountable to the people they serve, writes Vaibhav Chhimpa.

This is really nuts and I don't think is the kind of culture war that Quebecer want (ethnic nationalism though....). I'm hoping that the PQ opposes this. (Holding no breath though).

Nathaniel Bacon was truly the first American because he said not only do we intend to kill all Native people but also we won't engage in commerce with them. A normal person would say, doesn't genocide preclude trade anyway? But an American knows trade matters more than life.

“Residential school denialism, then, is not just an attack on truth. It also increasingly has many of the hallmarks of an attack on truth-tellers and anyone who is listening.” “Confronting denialism is an ethical and shared responsibility.” theconversation.com/confronting-...

Privatizing road testing is such a great idea for road safety too. Absolutely no issues on our roads as long as you are a defensive driver on high alert and you trust the gods to save you. I also love that at the same time, they're trying to force cities to take out bike lanes, too.

For non-Albertans, this same political party also got rid of most automated traffic enforcement, and it's going super well if you like the thrill of entering an intersection when you see cars regularly blowing through red lights several seconds after the light changes.

I do a comic about ornithological vocabulary for every issue of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's wonderful Living Bird magazine. Here's the latest one, featuring the American Bittern.

I’m looking forward to seeing @saranahmed.bsky.social in conversation with @noreenmasud.bsky.social tomorrow evening in Bristol. I’m not even halfway through her new book, and already it’s essential reading! 💙📚💡 www.thesmallcitybookshop.co.uk/event-detail...

What happened to free birth control? Canada's landmark #pharmacare program stalls as provinces fail to sign on. Only three provinces and one territory have deals in place, by Olivia Bowden www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s... via @theguardian.com

I dunno if it were me I would not make every neurodivergent person in the English speaking world hyper fixated on destroying me and guaranteeing my downfall but you know do you boss

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

A Tyee investigation has found that even under normal circumstances LNG Canada’s emissions will mean Kitimat residents will be subjected to high levels of nitrogen dioxide — a harmful pollutant that can irritate lung tissues and damage airways — above Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards.

Canada’s increasingly militarized border pushes migrants into taking riskier routes to claim asylum. We travelled along the border to highlight the human impact of the government's ‘security’ plan. New investigation from @xaviersfournier.bsky.social: ricochet.media/justice/migr... #cdnpoli

They built this technology with this use case in mind.

This video by Shaun actually documents pretty well how Western atheists are absolutely vectors of colonialism that the focus on religion obscures Specifically 2:30 onwards So if you want it explained by a presumably white British man instead of my many posts on the topic bsky.app/profile/shau...

When antifa...scists are terrorists, a government is openly fascist.

Good Morning, World.

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.

"Since the start of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza, doctors and medical students across Canada have been suspended, disciplined, doxxed and surveilled for signing petitions and posting pro-Palestine content on social media." Excellent work from @brishti.bsky.social as always.

I'M IN A FUCKING MOOD TODAY

People in palestine are bracing for greater crackdown as Israel punishes them for statehood recognition by UK, Canada, & Australia. As I, and many others, have pointed out - these proclamations of recognition do nothing to stop the violence.

I've been saying that it's only a matter of time before AI presents you with a generated video of a person reciting compiled entries about themselves. Like we're going to have to endure watching Louis Riel spewing a bunch of bullshit info scraped from the web.

I haaaaaaate the "Indigenous AI" movement. Had someone recently try to sell it by saying "one day we'll be able to ask virtual Elders x and y" I'm sorry, are we just throwing out our epistemologies now? Just say you don't actually understand or believe in how your People access knowledge and go.

Yeah, we managed to keep PP out but when folks were criticizing your saviour, far too many of you said critiques were divisive. Are you doing shit now? This man is draped in a liberal flag but he's the same flavour as Stephen Harper.

Canada has terrorized Indigenous Peoples and oppressed them, wreaking horrific suffering...Canada has stolen from Indigenous peoples, cheated them of their life and liberty, and can in no way dictate their future. Ugh. Also, we're just ignoring who actually put Hamas in power? FOH.

My weekly must-reads list and my thoughts on witnessing care and courage amid clouds of tear gas Friday night. "Almost 550 people across Chicagoland have been arrested by ICE during Operation Midway Blitz. It is a campaign of terror focused on a city that our president feels profound contempt for."

It's not up for debate. Describing politics in the U.S. in any other context, even the most ridiculous person would immediately identify it all has the hallmarks of a dictatorship. The need to believe that it CAN'T HAPPEN in the U.S. in the face of all evidence to the contrary is actually scary.

Cops are ridiculous. Had some constable call me asking for someone I've never heard of, I said wrong number and hung up and he immediately called back. I declined the call, immediate call back. I answered, quite annoyed, and he got SUPER aggressive (of course, roid rage fucker).
