@margaret.bsky.social Frantz Fanon would have been 100 yrs this yr!! I just found out. would be amazing if we could have a Cool Ppl Who Did Cool Stuff pod about him

package drama with CanPost got sent to a "co-pilot" & when asked to speak to agent the "artificial intelligence" told me "I have the same info as the agent and you don't want to wait on the line". once I was transferred to an agency was instantaneous ... y'all realize "efficiency" ain't it???

Frantz Fanon was born 100 yrs ago: why isn't this a huge intl even?? he is one of the most important thinkers of the 20th century

it is not a good thing that so many conservative MPs are so easily joining the liberals. yes, they're frustrated with Pollievre BUT why not sit as an independent? why can they so easily fit into "liberal" caucus? oh bc #cdnpoli has shifted so far to the right that libs are now conservatives

defence manufacturing means making bombs and guns. do we want Canada to "become a global leader" in making bombs and guns? who are we going to murder with these bombs and guns?

Buffy Sainte Marie, Thomas King, Joseph Boyden.... isn't it funny how white people's favourite "Indians" aren't Indians at all??

congratulations @tanyatalaga.bsky.social on being the first indigenous person to give the Massey Lectures!!

watching a guy on the metro cough into his hand like we didn't just all survive a global pandemic where we learned to sneeze into our elbows

@margaret.bsky.social hey Margaret, absolutely adore the podcast. wanted to recommend a cool person who did cool stuff: Arthur Manuel, he was a Secwépemc leader who was responsible for a lot of dope political organizing among Indigenous ppl in Canada

Why yes, the answer is co-ops! They’re not just for hippies selling muesli anymore…

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

walked into #MSP airport and a man in his 60s- expensive looking jeans, polo shirt wearing- said "nice tits". I've been sexually harassed since I hit puberty. it's really something it'd be great to leave in the dustbin of history.

did you know there's no lights on the Nain runway? the largest Inuit community in NL can't medivac ppl at night. why? turns out the answer was racism all along #NLPoli theindependent.ca/commentary/m...

turns out mining is bad, find out exactly why!

Stop using the term “illegal immigrant” and “illegal immigration”: It’s inaccurate, misleading and harmful. Good slide from UN Refugee Agency

It’s increasingly clear that Mark Carney misled Canadians about how he was going to approach the United States and wants to govern as a CEO instead of as a prime minister accountable to parliament in a democratic country.

the G7 taught me everyone is afraid to say Kananaskis even though it is literally phonetic: Ka-na-nas-kis. I guess anglophones have been so gaslit by the nonsense of English ("though" sounds different than "thou" bc of a GH) they think there must be a trap. heaven forbid it's what it looks like.

@willsloanesq.bsky.social long time Michael & Us listener, first time trying to reach y'all. I'm *sure* someone has told you but just in case: there is a new Netflix Rob Ford documentary. please please please new episode.

Just seeing this great post from @miskoaki.bsky.social highlighting an excellent brief by my friend, @pjc709.bsky.social Worth a read in the times we're experiencing. yellowheadinstitute.org/2025/04/16/a...

we are always looking for more Inuit/Iñupiat/Alaska Native buddies in the Twin Cities!! show yourself 🤣

As you know I am one of the more prominent visibility trans women in law and policy here in MN If you don’t think I walk around with a huge target on my back at all times, think again If you would like to support me, my family and my work, see below

It's a slur for Inuit people in northern Canada, Alaska and Greenland, largely considered offensive in northern parts of the world. The word has been used a few times recently in popular music, but it isn't sitting well with an Inuk who says words matter.

Three Inuit women are suing the North West Company, alleging that the company isn’t passing along federal subsidies to make food and other products in the North more affordable.

As snow pours down in pittsburgh, I'm thinking again about the cool as hell and futuristic looking snow goggles made by the Inupiat and Yupik people of the arctic region. They cut down on reflected light AND improve your distance vision en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_go...

Needs to be said, as it's totally absent from the news. Greenland is Kalaallit Inuit land.
