I told you guys

ALBERTA: If there is one thing to get loud about, it's this! Pre-emptive use of the notwithstanding clause is an existential threat to the freedom of everyone in Canada. A 1 seat majority in a legislature is all that's required to invalidate all personal freedoms in Canada. transactionalberta.ca

Here in the total safety and anonymity of the internet I am trying out a new thing and I reserve the right to change it back without comment.

I don’t understand why the folks running this settler capitalist state are so eager to jettison the services that make having such a state tenable.

Stoked that my team is going to grow again. We’re looking for a new intermediate system administrator @cybera.ca - cybera.bamboohr.com/careers/125 #yyctech

for $20/mo u can support 4 streamers and/or vtubers instead of 1 monopoly which already has all the money on earth

1. The intense and all-encompassing institutional and societal pushback seen in some countries against any intervention to mitigate the impacts of Covid-19, whether that be vaccines, or air filtration / purification, or masks, is not simply as a result of mandates or lockdowns.

Canada, France, and the United Kingdom recognized Palestine as a state this week but continue to fund Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Called. I'd appreciate your help in preventing the government from blasting my favorite place in the world to hell.

"The Mark Carney government is promoting liquefied natural gas and speculative oil industry projects (e.g., carbon capture that — even if proven possible and safe — won’t meet demands). He’s also suggested modifying the West Coast oil tanker ban and building more pipelines."

Mark Carney has made a number of strategic retreats on climate policy during his first six months. in power. Now it's time for him to stand firm on the policy that matters most: industrial carbon pricing. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/24/o...

We really, as a society, have not come to terms with how monstrous the majority of our political class is. To know that global warming is real, to know that the climate crisis is already killing people, and to not give a single shit. What kind of sociopath sells out the future of their own species?

So I had a meeting today with my kid's principal about the changes to the education act: re pronouns and sex ed. Her opinion was that students will still be supported but that it'll mean students lost in the cracks on sex ed. But what I find most disappointing is that out of 300~ families...

NEW: At a UN event today, advocate Violet Affleck gave a short speech on pediatric #LongCOVID. She also talked about how clean air and masking could help address the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and protect children from the disabling disease. thesicktimes.org/2025/09/23/v...

I had an actual good session of planning where I hit that flow state and I didn’t want to stop and it’s making me hopeful my brain isn’t totally broken.

Our research on Microsoft’s data centers is out and it’s 😬 💡Huge energy demand (as much as New England by 2030!) 
⛽️ Fossil fuel reliance (most data centers in states with ≥50% FF grids) 
🏫Local impacts (data centers used to justify more gas) Learn more and take action: stand.earth/microsoft-ai

🚨 BREAKING: All major groups of wildlife in Canada are in decline #LPRC2025: Across 910 species of birds, fish, mammals, reptiles & amphibians, wildlife populations in Canada have declined by 10%, on average, since 1970. BUT not all is lost. Together, we can help nature heal & wildlife recover.

“The Canadian Medical Association calls on the Alberta government to refrain from invoking the notwithstanding clause to enact legislation that directly interferes in the clinical care of patients.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cma.ca/about-us/wha...

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

🚨 NEW: Climate change is already causing 30,000 deaths per year - a global annual economic loss of $100-350B USD - but the true damage is probably 10x higher. Out TODAY in Nature Climate Change: the first systematic look at the science of "health impact attribution" 🔓 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

The only consent that matters in art is the artist's consent for it to be seen, and the viewer's consent to see it.

I am mad. Even if they didn't listen to the feedback, please keep posting your stuff here. You art is powerful and inspires many. It might never please everybody, even so, don't be stopped, don't be censored. Post and post and post, I want to see all creativity here. All of it. SFW. NSFW.

transphobic liberals in 2025: "I just think there are conversations that need to be had about the trans sport issue." No you do not. You just use the pretense of "there needing to be a conversation" so you can avoid ever actually having one or engaging with the actual science or with trans people.

Cool so Bluesky is trying to go the way of Tumblr and shit all over its nsfw community. Gotcha.

womp womp.

So like. How are drawings supposed to consent? If I draw some nakey ladies having a good time, do I have to include speech bubbles of them saying, "oh god, I'm gonna consent" lol

To disengage from the doom of social media for a moment: Between this, the attacks on speech from conservatives re: Kirk, the anger at ABC/Disney for capitulating, and more, we might be about to witness a massive pro-speech, pro-art movement. There is hope in that, and hope is important

This is unironically true. I know several who raise money for poverty, do mutual aid, create petitions, lobby gov, protest and organize, and so much more. Fed politicians, especially of late, seem dead set on fucking the country over for a percentage.

Premier Smith had downplayed & denied any intention of invoking the notwithstanding clause to protect its transphobic legislation from being struck down. Now, behind closed doors, internal government documents confirm their plan to strip away the fundamental rights of Albertans, particularly youth.

This politician is remaining silent on Bluesky about this but he just posted a video explaining how he's banning the Irish band Kneecap from entering Canada. If you're an IDF soldier and you've killed a Palestinian child you can vacation in the country but if you say genocide is bad you can't.

The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them. #ableg #abpoli

The times demand far more from me, and I find myself capable of not just less than I want, but less than I need.

Wherever you live in Canada, become Alberta-literate. Fascism is on the rise everywhere, but much faster in Alberta, with parts of its model even copied by the US. Resistance was quietly smashed in the first UCP term, one institution after another. Learn how and don't give an inch where you live.

Watching Alberta at this moment is critical for the whole country. That edgeward slide into authoritarianism, which feels like a threat looming in your peripheral vision, is now always in plain sight in AB. Its government *welcomes* what is happening in the US.

Given 🇨🇦 legal commitments, health effects and negative 🌎 impact for future generations; and given renewable cost effective alternatives, increasing oil & gas extraction is unconscionable.

Fuck me this is bleak. But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

For those trying to cancel Hulu, “system is still down” (lol) on the account page but you can call or chat to cancel!

“There is no comparable requirement for boys to confirm their gender,” said another parent. “Once again, the onus is placed on girls to be monitored and regulated, reinforcing the idea that female athletes are the ones who need to be verified.” edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Whenever I encounter injustice my instinct is to go on the internet and yell but I don’t think I’ve ever once had an impact doing that? I am not important. It feels good to say something and I wonder about people who aren’t saying anything but maybe even that limited energy should go elsewhere.

TOMORROW BELONGS TO US

Putting this unpopular opinion out there: I have zero respect for writers/creatives who use generative AI. I block them. - built on the theft of your fellow creatives' work - threatens the livelihoods of creatives - terrible for the environment - ChatGPT has encouraged children to end their lives
