DERIVATIONS is here: lukebradford.xyz/derivations It's a set of centos, with lines from: “Another Day” by @cteicher.bsky.social “History” by @camillerankine.bsky.social “White Box (notes)” by @afteriwasdead.bsky.social “Winter: Helmcken Falls” by @deirdmault.bsky.social and 107 more poems.

The response to the #TumblerRidgeShooting from far-right media, online commentators and even an elected official in Canada is another dark example of how pervasive anti-trans misinformation has become, even in Canada. Mel Woods writes. #bcpoli #bced

a good read and good reminder “The focus should be on mourning, not weaponizing.”

In some ways, #TumblerRidge appears almost too perfect to be true. But the heartache brought to the small northern B.C. community on Tuesday is only too real. @amandafollett.bsky.social writes.

Anatomy is not destiny. If people could look within and undo their dangerous gender essentialist attitudes. Change! Be better! Protect human rights for all. I see you non binary people! I see you trans people. I see you fungi with your glorious 23,000 genders. Carry on. Thrive .

We can’t stay here/ in the septic mud forts/ their cynicism/ brutalist flanks/ crumbling ports/ for weapons/ Wait, is that blood/ is that your broken heart?/ Get out. Get out!/ flee/ find love like a wide, green river/ rushing/ easy, easy/ "Wear a flower in your hair"/ they used to say. #poetry

#New: Incompetence or worse? John Rustad and the BC Conservatives set out their education plans Sunday. And then changed them hours later. Tyee senior editor Paul Willcocks writes. #BCElxn2024 #bcpoli

“There was a time when I believed that here, in my home of British Columbia, I could live my truth without fear. The past two weeks have shattered that belief. “The weight of this realization wears on me, and I pen this lament with profound sorrow.”

Como muchos otros, abandoné Twitter porque no se ajusta a mis valores. No hace falta hablar de ello, por favor. Me uní a Instagram. Tenemos que usar Instagram en nuestros móviles. Qué inaccesible es eso.

Like many others, I left Twitter as it doesn't align with my values. Don't need to talk about, please. Joined Instagram. We have to use Instagram on our mobile. How *inaccessible* is that.

If I could make a plea for BlueSky, it’s this: Please make a point of sharing links to articles, essays and more that you LOVE, that you enjoyed, that expanded you in some way. I’m always surprised by the dominance of hate-shares, complaint shares on here. And I think it has a riptide effect.

My friend and colleague Arley Cruthers received a posthumous degree. She was a disabilty advocate and huge proponent of open education. www.kpu.ca/news/2024/06...
