Sarah Harmer came up on my Playlist and my foster dog suddenly turned her head to the music and then stood up and whined softly when the music stopped. I think the song meant something to her🥺

And what's going to happen to the bitumen when it gets to BCs north coast Danielle?

When you step back and consider, Canada Post is an unsurpassed national asset. It has a work force of thousands, boots on the ground, stretching coast to coast to coast. It owns property and has storage and store front operations in every municipality in every province and territory of Canada […]

A thoughtful Truth and Reconciliation Day to all in this place called Canada. 🍁 May we collectively pause and consider what has happened, what continues, and what must happen in future to be better. The past is still very very present here in […] [Original post on mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

I participated at our local National Day for Truth and Reconciliation event today in the Lower Columbia region of BC. We were fortunate to have members of the Sinixt from Colville Confederated Tribes speak and drum as part of acknowledgemts and education. The local Metis association erected a […]

A great researcher I work with @carlysagan is looking for research funding or a remote position! It is really depressing how little funding is available to research the effects of satellite reentries... we REALLY need to get more scientists on this, because 1-5 Starlinks per day are reentering […]

Sad: I had a stressful first day at my new job and bailed on an acquaintance's potluck as I did not feel I could deal with socializing. Rad: I got a whole pan of potluck apple crisp to myself

Spending the day low key crying and listening to sad music and sometimes that is exactly the best use of time and way to heal and revive.

“The [South Korean] Ministry of National Defense is pursuing measures to reward service members who contributed to the protection of the citizens by refusing to follow illegal and unjust orders during the emergency martial law situation on December 3rd of last year.” […]

Nelson Chocofellar Milk Chocolate taste like the hot chocolate your mom made you when you were 9 years old one January evening and you just came in from snow ball fighting with your friends. Yeah. That good.

Found a secret door in the back of my washing machine. Behind it a tiny room with rows of mice fast asleep in odd-sock sleeping bags.

Oh my darlin Clementine💙

HAHAHA I love that they quoted me on this "It's like billionaires dropping their garbage on our heads" https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/saskatoon-space-debris-satelitte-reentry-1.7643516

'In Wales there is a legal requirement for road signs to be in both English and Welsh. In this case, the official of the Highways department emailed the English wording to the translator and, after receiving a reply, proceeded to have the sign made and […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I am feeling sad about the #canadapost debacle. For those of us who remember getting Christmas cards, college letters of acceptance, penpal letters from friends that moved away in grade 8, Columbia House CDs, Sears catalogues, etc. there is a lot of culture and nostalgia wrapped up in how […]

Hey I posted a while back about turning down a great job because it was only 20 hours a week and it wouldn't be enough to live on. Well they came back with an offer for 28 hours/wk until December to give me time to find a second job or raise money for more hours. So I said YAY YES and I am now […]

Jeepers I put my phone down after lunch and all hell broke loose

Dear Trans Kids, I wish the whole world was more like you - brave, authentic and striving to be true to yourself even against intimidating odds. I suspect you are cute and funny and talented too, just a guess:) I hope you know so many people in the world see you, welcome you and are cheering […]

Oh My Darlin Clementine🧡 #dogsofmastodon

What is a better source of Canadian news now that the #cbc has gone to full American coverage? Recommendations appreciated!

It is WILD that we now live in a time where my job as an astrophysics professor has gone from "learn cool things about space" to "try to get someone to hold billionaires accountable for dropping shit on us from orbit"

Can anyone explain to me what the issue is with the #BC #ostritch Farm? Is it simply loss of income the farmers are protesting? I understand they previously sold the birds for food and now sell them for scientific experiments. This does not seem to be about protecting #AnimalWelfare. What are […]

Shoot, did I miss the rapture? Or does it start in Australia first like Santa and work its way over,,

I met Dr. David Ho! He’s responsible for the fact that HIV is no longer a death sentence and his work has saved tens of millions of lives. Why he doesn’t have a Nobel Prize is beyond me. AMA.

We had a #volunteer appreciation even at the #bcspca today. It was so great to see and meet other people who care so much about animals. And we visited and patted lots of cute dogs ( and cats were pettef too I think idk I work on the dog side lol) Please consider volunteering at your local […]

Super depressing that so many people are so loudly and publicly praising a person who spewed so much awful racist garbage and white nationalist mysoginistic propaganda. It just feels like I watched the global nazi population quadrouple in a week. I guess the rest of us have to be twice as loud […]

There's no way Israel should compete in the next Eurovision. If Russia is out for war crimes, so should Israel be. #eurovision #gaza #israel https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/trouble-brews-for-eurovision-amid-push-for-boycott-20250921-p5mwny.html

It seems there are people who need to know this: If you are walking down the street and a dog on the other side of a fence begins barking at you, please do not stop and try to talk with the dog. Do not walk up to the fence and look over. It is very unlikely that will make them feel safer and […]

Meet Marshall, the cutest lil pocket pittie mix! He and his brother Beau came in to the #WestKootenay #BCSPCA and are looking for active homes with some breed experience. Marshall is 2 yrs old and that perfect size, about 50 lbs just below knee high. He is super […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

Public Mischief is a good name for a band.

Can we consider Avi Lewis for #ndp national leadership? I like what has has to say here. And my concern about him losing seats 2x is not really an issue now that it was pointed out Jack Layton also lost 2 elections and did not have a seat when he became party leader ( how did I forget/ not know […]

Do people even know what they were doing there? Or did they just show up to make their woke relatives mad? Seriously wearing the US flag in Winnipeg to praise and American racist homophobe who advocated taking the vote away from women. What kind of Canadians are these? Smdh […]

I love when English is simple and direct - like getting money from the Cash Machine. Cash Machine, what a concept:)

Fediverse! I need some help! I have a fellowship to go to Aotearoa New Zealand for a few weeks, and also an offer of an additional fellowship to give lectures around NZ. This is INCREDIBLY EXCITING!! ...but I have a lot of animals! And it's going to be […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Can we spell it Auntie Fa? That will confuse them.

It was very telling that for three days, none of the major TV anchors would have me on air one-on-one to talk about my firing from the Washington Post over Charlie Kirk. The first offers were from Black media, independent media, Substackers, and podcasters.

Never forget, Pierre Poilievre was so weak after squandering a historic lead and losing both the election and his own “safe rural conservative seat,” they had to push out the conservative incumbent in one of the safest seats in the country because they couldn’t risk him losing again. “Leadership.”

When you step back and get perspective on where we are, #canada, a large corporation with a CEO who makes $12 million dollars a year and shares billions of profits to shareholders annually is colluding with our own "democratically elected" government to threaten striking workers with jail time […]

Proud of CUPE members and the CUPE President not backing down in the face of government overreach, union busting and corporate greed. If governments won't take leadership in protecting workers and promoting the fair redistribution of wealth, unions like this will 👏👏 #solidarity #aircanada […]

The world needs more advocates for animals like these folks. Thank you #winnipeghumanesociety. I made a donation to them and you can too:) #vegan #vegetarian #AnimalWelfare https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-humane-society-hanover-ag-fair-1.7611226
