Listening to people complain that Carney’s housing plan “doesn’t do enough for the middle class” is pretty rich. And also I don’t think it’s true (except to the extent it doesn’t do enough for anyone). In education, there are studies that prove that the more time teachers spend with the students…

TIL about this petition and that this movement TransAction Alberta exists! I signed! Fellow Albertans, please sign too! I am using too many exclamation marks! but it’s for the best of causes: #TransRightsAreHumanRights!!!

Never forget that Norman Rockwell, debatably the most famous American artist to ever put brush to canvas, was not afraid to show the ugliness along with the good. Having his work/reputation sanitized and trimmed into marketable nostalgia is about American as it gets.

Law enforcement doesn't turn a profit. The military doesn't turn a profit. National healthcare doesn't turn a profit. Even Parliament doesn't turn a profit. So why does the fucking mail have to turn a profit in order to be allowed to exist?

Help, I can’t keep enough manga on the shelves of my library. It was popular last year (and I spent money to nearly double the selection), but it seems to be even more popular this year. I need to get more of it.

It’s always acutely offensive when @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social get a submission made with generative AI. Like, YOU clearly didn’t give enough of a shit to read this through, but you expect ME to?

It's almost as if rescinding the digital services tax and cancelling the reciprocal tariffs got us nothing, and we shouldn't have even tried to negotiate in good faith... www.cbc.ca/news/world/n...

Huh. I’ve been an advocate for keeping “not a real Christian” in circulation because I know what people mean when they say it (you who claims to believe in hell, are headed there), but this is a compelling argument. It solves the issues non-Christians have with the “not real” framing, & hits hard.

It's the South Park effect. That show taught a generation that caring about anything in either direction is dumb and something to be attacked.

"Dream Sequence" by @carlaspeedmcneil.bsky.social

2/ In 2001, Borsook said tech "libertarianism" reflected an adolescent mindset, with a craving for unchecked independence & resistance to constraint. She warned that tech libertarians wanted an anti-human world that worked more like a computer. From "Cyberselfish," a book based on her 90s writing:

Imagine a world where people cared about comics.

I haven't stopped buying art (books, mostly) from Americans, and I don't plan to. Art is unique and irreplaceable. But considering no independent artists outside the US can sell ANYTHING to Americans right now? I just don't have a surplus of empathy for American artists who have lost sales.

I went to a protest for Gaza in DC. The streets were full of people. The energy was insane. Chants of "Free Palestine" echoed off buildings. One of the loudest messages that was repeatedly said by guest speakers that day was "if you keep doing this, we are not going to vote for you."

Just listened to a high schooler talk about her most prized possession, her dad's vintage music collection he gave to her. CDs, guys. The vintage music collection is CDs.

HAPPY NEWS! Our kickstarter for Old Souls is now 100% funded. A big thank you to the awesome board members for the months of work and planning it takes to make it happen. Thank you everyone who supported the project!⁠ ⁠ www.kickstarter.com/projects/clo...

Linguistics.

a general strike shut down italy on monday in support of palestine & now this is happening. international worker solidarity still has power!!

This is 100% accurate to how they’re interpreting the Bible, & also they’re 100% wrong. This section is a bunch of curses, essentially, that God puts on humanity. Even with a literal interpretation, it says a LOT about people like them that they think it’s THEIR job to enforce God’s curses on women.

Well THIS sounds alright. youtu.be/IVy99oiYszY?...

Today I felt like I was good at my job.

Happy #bivisibilityday 💗💜💙 Don’t read Phantomarine ✌️ www.phantomarine.com

It's frustrating how mass migration is caused by global warming, wars and wealth inequality, but instead of dealing with any of that we are just going close our borders in the hopes it slaughters anyone whose homeland becomes unlivable

It’ll never wash off

We've surpassed 7k! Now onto the final goal! Keep sharing OLD SOULS and let's get this body horror graphic novel by Jackarais funded! www.kickstarter.com/projects/clo...

I will say this--from the banking houses of the Renaissance to the entertainment megacorporations of today, when a large money-making enterprise underwrites great art, it's usually by accident. We shouldn't be surprised when the people at the top turn into the bad guys of their own stories.

AUTISM ANNOUNCEMENT: People who mean what they say and care deeply about getting things right rather than protecting their perceived standing within a given social environment are... 🎇😃🎆 GREAT 🎆😃🎇

These books are GORGEOUS and I already thought Applegate was great but coming out of the gate on these rereleases by CREDITING THE COVER ARTIST IN THE FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT POST?! Top tier. The movement in these morph drawings is just incredible. The youth are gonna eat this up.

I don’t want to make it about “AI,” but I’ll make it about “AI:” why would I want to give up that feeling? You don’t get that feeling if you skip the work. You know how you feel when you get Wordle in two? Or finish an impossible crossword? Would you rather a robot just did that for you?

Today I did a really hard pencil drawing and I had to re-start it half way through and I’m not sure if it’s working like I wanted it to, but there was fifteen minutes near the end of my workday where I was really, really happy with it and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

Welcome to the revolution… ph… Aw shit. Really? Alright, we’ll take ‘em.

I have finally been successfully bullied into watching Revolutionary Girl Utena. This thing is a trip. Just an absolute rococo fever dream. This is not a criticism. More shows should just give up on viewers understanding them, and live fully in a Dante’s Inferno of cinema sins.

Time is running out! The OLD SOULS Kickstarter ends in less than 3 days. Back the campaign and get a spooky body horror graphic novel set in the deep woods. Perfect for the first day of fall! www.kickstarter.com/projects/clo...

Their feelings are very delicate

okay cool kimmel got his show back can GFM get her DC comics run back now

Vaccines cause adults Tylenol causes pain relief Neurodiversity is good

New Tradewaiters! We read The Rose of Versailles by Riyoko Ikeda! 🌹🥀🌷 www.thetradewaiters.com/post/7954371...

If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):
