Some random nonsense for you. The coolest squiggly snow drift top. A hand made bowl cozy with the cutest breakfast friends print.

Look up a phone number. Call in a pick up order. Go meet and get to know your restaurants! Our favourites know it’s our order 🤣 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Wait, what?? This real?? Not the breakdown I would expect 😳…

This feels useful to share.

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

Shared the Bulbous Bouffant skit with my kids, delighted.

100% this I am struggling

Despite having a text message service now, the school board did not text that schools are closed today 🤦🏼‍♀️

I haven't seen this reported anywhere ... this is baaad.

Yall. I just want to go visit my ageing aunt in Michigan and sing for her one last time. She’s too old to travel to me now. I’ve been reasonably vocal about my opinions - is it too risky even to take a day trip? 😩 My dad is already constantly driving down to take care of her 😞 it worries me…

The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously: -Trump preternaturally understands the ebb and flow of the media and does perform for it -His inner circle is in a mad dash to turn the US into a fascist ethnostate -Like all authoritarian regimes, they're grossly incompetent

We can’t fix what we don’t measure.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is now talking about Greenland, instead of talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

On the flip side, adequate time to plan financially. On the other… 😩

Hope.

Ursula K. Le Guin, spitting truth.

The intellectual depth of the pro-mass deportation thugs demonstrating at Nathan Phillips Square yesterday is a wonder to behold: 🤷🏼

WILD that someone would go on record claiming there aren’t enough blonde kids. hecking yikes… www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I will accept no moral high ground from a government that refuses to ban a platform that is actively, in real time, right in front of our faces, creating child sexual abuse materials. They're not banning it and there are still government departments with official Twitter accounts. Fuck Carney.

CBC article just said that the NDP leadership race isn’t getting coverage because the candidates have ”opted for civility over conflict” and I’m like… “good?!” That shouldn’t disqualify the leadership race from coverage. It speaks to the kind of people I want to support!

To make it look like they have more profits, businesses for years decided that an illusion was better than reality, so they just laid off as many people as they could to cut expenses and tada, instant profit! It's autocannibalism, and even investors know it's unsustainable. So they lie.

This is genuinely a good idea. We should do this. There should be a maximum wage, the same way there’s a minimum wage. The multimillionaires and billionaires will not perceive any appreciable difference in their lifestyle at all, but millions of normal people would benefit daily.

I’m curious to see if this has impacts elsewhere eventually 😯 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is why the US has not, at all, acknowledged covid as a mass death event, and part of why it refuses to acknowledge it is also an ongoing mass disabling event (with millions more grieving for the futures it made impossible to them)

One of the things that genuinely shocked me as I read through surveillance logs for the police is how much of their energy and attention is dedicated to shutting down vigils and other ceremonies of remembrance.

I think it's a bad sign that every major news media outlet has spent days asking whether or not murder is bad and how much child porn is an okay amount

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

New column today: zeteo.com/p/trump-us-r...

Today was a good to day to stop by the market before going home, get chilli started, do my favourite dance exercise, and then make cornmeal muffins and stretch while they’re baking.

Reporters here should start interviewing politicians who claim our roads are safe, or who seem to think congestion matters more than road safety, right along the the side of unsafe roads.

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

In the elevator: “are you the electric bike girl?” 😆 Gotta love being known by your neighbours.

“With the help of Washington, a post-Carney Canada could finally see free and fair elections and the establishment of a secure and prosperous economy integrated with the rest of North America.” 🇺🇸🇨🇦 #canpoli #uspoli

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

"Today, 88% of Greenland’s population are Inuit (predominantly Kalaallit) or mixed Danish and Inuit.... The Inuit Greenlanders identify strongly with Inuits in other parts of the world, like Canada and Alaska, and they actually share some similarities in their languages as well."

With the US less interested in concealing its aggression, Canada's efforts to obfuscate (whether in justifying Israeli genocide or this attack on Venezuela) look more and more absurd. And ironically (for the elbows up losers) it makes Canada appear even more of a pathetic simp for empire than usual.

If you need someone to tell you: you are safe tonight. It’s OK to put down your phone and sleep. The world will still be consuming itself tomorrow. Right now you need rest. Close your eyes and imagine you’re a bird, that you can see the electromagnetic current of the earth.

End billionaires.

I’ll try any snack for $1 and I’ve been wanting to try this vegan jerky anyway. It was good!! A few pieces staved off hunger and didn’t leave me feeling like garbage 😆. The edamame were not $1, but they are addictive.

A lot of people were crying foul when they thought Chrystia Freeland was going to work for Canada and Ukraine at the same time, which is weird, since so few people seem bothered about Doug Ford being paid to be Premier while employed fulltime by real estate developers and construction companies.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine

A reminder to any canadian (or any) #watercolor artists. Beam Paints is an Indigenous owned company with beautiful plastic-free hues. Their sparkly metallics are to die for www.beampaints.com

We are all in a state of constant panic and terror. It’s important to take a second when you see something online that triggers you to ask yourself “am it really triggered or am I just experiencing nonstop psychic damage from the world and my brain sees this as an outlet for my fear and rage.”
