The ruling class wins when workers are divided. I’m running for leader of the NDP to build a movement that unites us and puts power back in the hands of working people. ✊ #cdnpoli #canlab #rob4leader #NDP

I wrote to M&S about the stupid lingerie department story - confirms nobody offered a bra fitting to a teenage girl. The Telegraph and JK can (always) do one.

Chillin’ inside coz my mam won’t sit on the balcony with me coz she’s a jerk. #dogs

Rusty was flirting with all the people on our walk along Queen Street tonight. He even got to say hi to some kids whom he loves loves loves which means he can rarely say hi because he gets too overjoyed and jumps on them. #dogs

When I went to chef’s school, every time we were making something that required grating anything, Chef would walk in and put the first aid kit on my station. Anyway, I’m making rosti for supper 😫

This FASCINATES me. When Rusty sleeps outside he wraps his magnificent tail across his eyes and he LOVES sleeping in the snow. This explains a lot about what's going on!

Before-bed brushing complete. His summer coat is all out now. Phew. He HATES being brushed.

This is my life till tomorrow when Levi's (the black doodle) mam comes home 🤣

We're dog sitting at #LeviFriend's house and it turns out #RustyRadmacher is a jerk and a horrible house guest 🤦‍♀️

Don’t stop talking about Palestine. Don’t stop organizing. Don’t stop fighting.

Prolly best to just stay away from blocklists until/unless @support.bsky.team fixes this issue.

My dollar store "Krazy-glue" tube just exploded all over my hands and here's me with zero crimes to commit while I temporarily have no fingerprints 🤦‍♀️

I feel like if you're a TTC fare inspector and you ask a man who is clearly having a rough time in life why he didn't pay his fare and he offers to pay it right now, maybe just...let him? and not keep harassing him about how he should have paid when he got on? I DUNNO just food for fuckin' thought!

Keep it going. Let’s see how much reach this place has.

One of the most dangerous lies of modern times has been framing the failed policies of centrism as left wing, in the process destroying the credibility of any real solutions. Both the centre and the right have propagated this lie, as they each see a benefit in it for themselves

This blocklist thing is going to be a nightmare because it can be so easily misused or weaponized. And how do you see which ones you've subscribed to? @safety.bsky.app

@safety.bsky.app Needs to change the blocklist function. The owner can keep adding to it and then you're blocking whomever some other rando has decided they don't like. A lot of liberals are quite vicious and will gladly do this vindictively. This will be the Achilles heel of the app if not fixed.

Stop being a snob and follow them back.

Scootch over, I’m joining your zoom. I have some input for the team. Unmute me
