A great article from Rachel, who really understands the heart and soul of Dad’s work.

hands up if you are a true bug and suck sap from plants

I did an interview about Indigenous folks in brewing today. I hope I came off better than my usual goofy self because it’s an important topic. And I took some pics of the tasting room buildout. I really hope I get to do some collabs and / or have a beer with ya’ll soon.

Y'all. Lakotaman is currently using the colonial tactic of Indian Removal on all other Lakotamen. He's weaponized his mostly white followers to attack other Natives and get them banned. IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING LAKOTAMAN YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

My great great grandparents lived through the creation of Manitoba and could’ve watched Hockey Night in Canada on CBC.

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff

TBH, I think the reason chuds talk about AI having human rights is so that data centres can take an immense amount of resources from actual humans with impunity.

Photo dump from Cask Days. I think @gregclow.bsky.social is the only one who posts here.

On Truth & Reconciliation Day, we must act on ongoing harms. Grassy Narrows still suffers from mercury contamination after 60 + years. Sign the petition for Mercury Justice you.leadnow.ca/petitions/me... #FreeGrassy #GrassyNarrows

Thinking about TRC today. I remember joking with a friend that you always knew Trudeau was about to do a performative for the cameras when the jean jacket came out. And, it turns out, that’s mostly what we got.

please read this story today from @moiradonovan.bsky.social, with incredible photos by Darren Calabrese, which considers the physical history of the residential school system and survivors' efforts to ensure this history is never forgotten

Notable that Carney going all-in on "economic reconciliation" is basically telegraphing that he's given up on the Calls to Action altogether. From our 2013 report, an analysis that I think holds up quite well.

Strong “We don’t need no stanking vaccines or new cancer treatments ‘cause we can already cure anything” vibes.

The worst crime I’ve ever witnessed in Portland was extreme farting from a high fibre diet.

ummm.. holy shit? tool use in bovids confirmed? holy holy shit?

Well don't I feel stupid

Watching people watching salmon run up the Humber is the balm I needed after a tough spell. Not shown: a class cheering on the salmon like they’re fans at a Sceptres game.

Canadians: It’s morally reprehensible that Indigenous peoples have rights I do not. Also Canadians: But taxpayers should get special treats.

One time at a CTV party around Season 3 of Degrassi, I was standing in line to get food with some other cast members, and Mulroney came up to us and said "you're on TV, you don't need to wait in line, just go take" and I think about it and how he's a Conservative stooge all the time

Abigail Echo-Hawk, a preeminent Native American public health expert, discusses RSV, “data genocide” and positive change driven by Indigenous storytelling

Alarm klaxons go off whenever I get bloodwork done - my white blood cells are cancer-fucked. But last fall I got RSV, pneumococcal, flu, and COVID vaccines and did not get sick last winter. Vaccines rock.

An update on that insane lease term where the landlord owns everything you create during the tenancy:

The only Rapture that matters.

to the art director at Wired who made this unholy image.... you will not see heaven www.wired.com/politics-iss...

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Hahahahahaha what the world needs is even more AI-generated “and then everyone started clapping” posts.

RIP. Curtis wrote one of my favourite Hüsker songs.

Reconciliation! lolololololololololosob

What the actual fuck is this? Bulldozing waterfront habitat to make room for a spa and giant garage for well-heeled suburbanites is not Reconciliation. Adam Vaughan’s a giant, stinking 💩

This Sunday, September 21, will be the last day of operation for the rest of the City’s outdoor pools for the season. The last dog swim of the season will take place at 4 locations from 4:30 – 6:30 pm🐶🌊! More info: www.toronto.ca/explore-enjo...

🧵 I've said it before but I'll say it again (this time slower so whoever is reading it to you can explain it) That's your currently failing constitution but y'all didn't write it. Your constitution is based upon the Haudenosaunee Great Law of Peace.

Something I’ve been thinking about for a while. I think I ended up following a bunch of trans women here because, mostly, they understand the inherently performative nature of white, liberal “allyship” and know the boot isn’t just coming for them. And, also, they’re rad.

I have hated 'ally' as a title or descriptor since I started learning on livejournal/Tumblr. in our work I think it needs to be a verb, action taken, an action continued, not a noun. I think that many unconsciously believe once you are something, you don't have to do anything more to back it up.

Dewdney was an evil bastard. Daschuk goes into detail of just how fucking evil he was in Clearing the Plains.

My pet theory about Television is that they listened to the Velvet Underground’s Murder Mystery and thought, “What if, instead of separate vocalists in each channel, we do separate guitars?”

Not many salmon in the Humber today, but the view was top notch notch.

I love it when a small hop charge spreads out perfectly in the kettle.

🧵STOP WITH THE WHITE SAGE ALREADY Look, Natives don't go around wearing Ts as necklaces while eating wonder bread, drinking grape juice, and taking holy water while leaving a couple of bucks in exchange for "good vibes" or whatever because
