I am once again asking Canadian journalists to ask the most basic-ass question of "on whose land will these be built?" How is it that every other major industry must consider Indigenous rights but with tech it's like "meh". www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Yeg friends, I just wanted to make sure that you are aware of the Cranksgiving ride honour our recently departed friend @drdagly.bsky.social. I'll be bringing tampons & panty liners for the #BissellCentre donation. RSVP: www.eventbrite.ca/e/cranksgivi... #Bikesky #Yegbike

There's a lot to be upset about in the world. Strangers on the internet should not bear the brunt of your rage.

I wish I'd had time to adjust my focus properly so she would be clearer, but I still love this one of of her.

Postal services Health services Mental health services Library services Transit services Public Services <> Businesses and I why TF DO governments not understand that. It's literally their job.

Okay the world is scary. But also, she exists and had a joyful day.

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is appalling and I hope someone stops her. Trans rights are human rights and Canada needs to set the tone. We should strive for inclusion and not adopt the divisive and discriminatory policies of our neighbours to the south.

Don’t argue with strangers on the internet.

Fear will try to convince us to isolate, to hoard resources, to avoid community, to build the least threatening campaigns making little impact. A grounded risk assessment will move us closer to each other, it’ll remind us of that we are millions, it’ll make our work more bold and more brave.

Read too much about the burning fire we live in, it's time for a doggy picture.

Do me a favour? Spread some love and kindness this weekend. Whatever that looks like for you.

Processing a loss while the (online) world is focused on the death of a (very hateful) public-ish figure is weird.

Ignore the hot take machine, the conspiracy theorists, and the people who tell you to be afraid.

Hey! If you're struggling with the volume of ... stuff in the main feeds today, you should take a look for some of the other feeds and hashtags out there. I really enjoy #birds #mammals #FlowerReport #MorningWalk Craft Sky, and Fiber Arts. Go have a browse of the feeds! You'll find some relief.

Is your brain currently flooded with cortisol? Mine sure is! So here's a dog to give you a break.

I actually don’t want to live in a world where the ideas Charlie Kirk Pushed are supported. NOR DO I WANNA LIVE IN A WORLD WERE PEOPLE A SHOT IN PUBLIC, and everyone there is gonna have to live with that memory forever. And that my friend… is empathy

Note to self: when it is smokey out, either put an inhaler in your work bag or don't take the stairs (even if the escalator is broken and there's a long line for the elevator). Signed, your asthmatic lungs.

Boycott this AI slop please and thank you. Making movies is the fun thing in life. Get AI to do my dishes and now we're talking.

Seeing the never ending discussion about Bluesky vs Twitter, mostly from the pundit class, reminds me that how they use social media is so different from me. And maybe you. (...)

Timeline cleanse featuring Violet.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

need people to understand that the idea that “regular people” can’t understand trans people is inherently transphobic framing. #1: we are regular people. demographically, we are less wealthy than cis people on the whole because of employment discrimination, housing discrimination, and the wage gap

age 15: Computers are amazing! I'm going to do amazing things with computers! age 45: explaining to the fourth person this week why Chat GPT is not a replacement for google or the library or friends

All of the lessons that The Biggest Loser taught—from disordered eating to ruthless self talk—all of that came because we culturally thought it was beneficial & entertaining to abuse fat people. Anti-fat bigotry was the spoonful of sugar that helped the medicine go down. It was a feature, not a bug.

As folks are watching Fit For TV, the documentary about The Biggest Loser, a few reflection questions: How did The Biggest Loser teach you to think about people who are fatter than you? How did it teach you to treat them? Where have you unlearned those lessons? Where can you do more unlearning?

Unhoused people are just the most accessible target. It won’t stop there.

I think a lot of people complain and confess online in ways that used to be through private prayer, to a priest, to close friends and in journals. Observing this has increased my inclination to reach out to friends and family, group chats, or my therapist instead of posting on social media.

This sounds going viral here’s the original Sinéad O’Connor performance

If you want a COVID-19 vaccine in Alberta this is what you now need to do: 1. "Pre-order" by Sept. 30: bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/pr... 2. In the fall, remember to book a public health clinic appointment. (No more pharmacy shots.) 3. Pay. (Prices not yet announced.) 4. Attend appointment.

a university is not for generating profit, it provides cultural enrichment via weird little gremlin people who love visigoths or haikus, and very occasionally a scientist who figures out faster than light travel

‘Berta friends: don’t forget that today’s the day you can pre-order your COVID vaccine. bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/pr...

Walking a dog on a rolled ankle because you have a bonus dog and it takes two to handle her and your own? Bearable. Getting stung inside your front lip by a panicked bee/wasp/something while on one of those walks? Not so much. Sigh. At least I get bonus dog cuddles to help with the pain.

Standing up for the smallest of minorities is important because when you accept the premise that one group are expendable because small or ‘insignificant’, you have accepted the idea of the expendability of human life in general, and the enemy will use your acquiescence to pick off yet more.

Look closely enough and there are loons (first pic) and swans (second). Yay birds.

The cancel culture panic existed to coddle the powerful who experienced the mildest of criticism and to pave the way to astroturf conservative censorship into the mainstream

How is she real? 😭💜

It's fucked up how HRT and gender-affirming procedures have one of the lowest regret rates of any medical procedure yet the guidelines are still written in a way that presupposes that you will regret your decision and want to detransition

Double trouble

I just heard the best explanation of the class war sides by @margaret.bsky.social . If you make money by working, you're part of the working class. If you make money by having money, you are part of the owning class. No notes.

This is a long thread but delightfully worth the time.

You look like you need a smile. Here you go.

like, do whatever you want. but wishing harm on someone because they posted bad or lived in the wrong place or you think they are insufficiently morally pure is not good for you, in the long term. it is not good for your heart or your humanity. and we should nourish our humanity now more than ever.

This is wonderful and expresses how I try to live. I still fail but I’ll never stop trying. Love you all.

if there’s anything i know at this point in my life it’s that it is a gift to have trans people in your life, and it is a privilege many many cis people do not fucking deserve

tilting at windmills just leaves you exhausted and usually super bitter. make the things that you want to see in the world. you'll be exhausted but not bitter.
