When your gf invites you to a ring-carving workshop at the tool library, is that a proposal?

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now. Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it. Don’t forget this.

Very disappointing to hear the university president respond to a question about Indigenization by talking about EDI. This is not the same thing. Indigenization will advance EDI, but EDI does not advance Indigenization. Indigenization is about sovereignty, not EDI. @munfaculty.bsky.social

Turns out a lot of Americans understand that trans people aren’t the reason shit is expensive and people are being starved

here's your reminder that in the usa, air traffic controllers are *required* to continue working through a government shutdown with no pay. one of the highest stress jobs imaginable. no pay

I’d like to thank Ontario for my free Covid booster today. Booked a same-day appointment in downtown Toronto this morning. All done. No fuss, no muss, no ideology. And the pharmacist told me that 90% of the people who come in for a flu shot also get the Covid booster. 💉 Ain’t science great?

So a young Mi’kmaq boy was killed the other day in a car accident. The tractor driver fled the scene and hasn’t been caught. The driver is not coming forward. Indigenous children lives don’t matter to that person. #JusticeForAiden

This imagined defense by Cheney ("What I Got Right About the Iraq War") from The Onion in 2023 ought to run as a sidebar to every obit that's published this week: https://theonion.com/what-i-got-right-about-the-iraq-war-1850249194/

María Corina Machado Nobel Peace Prize winner 2025, now pushes for her country to be attacked by the United States. I mean Obama won an award, then droned the hell out of the Middle East, so she's in good company I guess.

May his name be blotted out and forgotten. May the names of the innocents slaughtered for his greed live on forever.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

If this doesn’t qualify as an emergency, what does? Even the USDA plan said it could be used as a buffer in the event of a shutdown.

#SMU students have been supporting us on the picket line, and honestly? It fills our hearts as we fight for better learning conditions for all. ❤️ ✊ Thank you to all the students who came by to say hi, hold a sign, take a selfie, or drop off some treats! #SMUstrike @cupe3912.bsky.social #cdnpse

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

What is the value of the white house? It's just a symbol of imperialism to me. Perhaps Trump's remodeling will force us to stop idealizing a building, an architectural style, a city, a country built on the backs and bones of so many. It's not that special.

Being #Catholic means care for the common good and especially preferential option for the poor. I get vaccinated to protect those who are immunocompromised, can't receive them, or may not have access. Don't forget to get your flu and COVID shots!

Learning more than one subject / skill at a time is such an awesome hack. One provides a break from the other. Concepts and perspectives from one area of study bleeds into the other, both enhance and support- Oh. Wait. Schools. I’ve invented schools.
