it's because no human actor could possibly have the sex appeal of the cartoon fox isn't it best to simply admit defeat

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue. I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe. They also didn’t pay cover 🖕

It's just one image from this particular X account, which often makes disturbing, grotesque images of other left-wing politicians but really has a focus on Orr. Sim has denied this was the image he saw - but he also refused to explain how it differed. thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

me asking my husband “is that going to be chocolatey enough” every three seconds while watching him make me a milkshake while i sit here and do nothing

post a tree you have photographed

the two phases of writing: (1) writing and (2) wandering aimlessly like an unmoored ghost and complaining about not writing

I love this 1940s ad for a holiday at Qualicum Beach. With war time restrictions on gas, rubber, metals, etc, staying on the Island and taking the train was a great option. Anyway, we don’t have a train anymore.

cons of permanent DST: losing the annual excuse to stay up an hour later on a saturday night, losing the intense relief i feel when the clock goes back and the sun returns to the start of my day, personally my body “gets up with the sun” pros: time is fake anyway, ppl have a tiny joy to cling to

Everyone should read Wild Faith by @swordsjew.bsky.social for more about this worldview. There are people actively hoping for the “end of the world”.

businesses must be happy with permanent DST. now you might stop and spend some money, buy after-work drinks, do some shopping if it’s still light out, instead of going straight home

it’s trading card day at collage club 🐒

big things on the way from yr favourite nanaimo chapbook makers!

ok time to listen to some phil ochs then walk down to the bar to talk about poetry

it’s also all related. the men who traffic children with impunity are the same ones who start wars, bomb schools, support genocide, ignore laws, shirk taxes, beat their wives and children, and steal every dollar they can from the people. it’s all an expression of the same belief: no one else matters

State media in Iran says the death toll from a strike on a girls' elementary school in the southern Iranian town of Minab continues to rise, with at least 85 people now known to be dead. www.cbc.ca/news/world/l...

To be entirely clear: every "AI" company should have bright red ethical lines against things like genocide and weapons systems and surveillance and consent violations and shepherding an encroaching fascism, and those lines should be placed way earlier than anthropic and openAI's seem to be.

Worth noting that on a different website, multiple ABC Vancouver officials follow accounts that post constantly about how Sean Orr is a terrible human being and make all sorts of unproven claims, including one account that creates AI videos of Orr doing all sorts of illegal or evil acts

First they came for the…scouts? TV entertainer and inexplicably Secretary of Defense/War/whatevs Pete Hegseth: “The Department of War has officially put Scouting America on notice. “It’s time to get back to basics, and DoW is leading the charge.” He really wants his Hitler Youth.

8. He closed by saying that he wished Scouting America would return to not allowing girls in the program. “Ideally, I believe the Boy Scouts should go back to being the Boy Scouts, as originally founded, a group that develops boys into men. Maybe someday.”

1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that under a new deal with Scouting America, formerly Boy Scouts of America, trans scouts will be forcibly outed and segregated from peers of their gender. The policy is the latest cruel capitulation. www.erininthemorning.com/p/secdef-heg...

because if there’s one thing I know about men, it’s that they crave full-time child-rearing responsibilities without even getting to have sex first

If these guys had even the tiniest shred of capability for self-reflection they’d realize they were used as props by people who are literally putting words in their mouths but alas

This is one of the worst things I’ve seen in Vancouver politics. Vancouver councillor outrageously lies to Chinese audience that fellow councillor is a drug addict & dealer. Gets caught, forced to “apologize” for lying, mayor commends him for admitting fault. Then turns out the mayor did it first.

Tara Armstrong is a danger to BC residents and to Canadians of all walks of life. Seeking to kill the entire human rights enforcement mechanism in B.C. for the sake of allowing anti-trans hate to go unchecked is perhaps one of the most significant attacks on trans rights in Canada I've documented.

So… Sim accepted Zhou's "apology" knowing full well he repeated the same BS? Absolutely terrible leadership. Zero accountability. Unbelievable.

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

New issue out next week. DM for details because fuck Etsy

fucking genocidal

there’s so many “what if’s” in his story, but the one that is so horrific and so common is that none of this would have happened if someone hadn’t called the cops on him for being lost

This is such an “area man” headline

just spitballing but some of it might have something to do with 15 years of sociopathic behavior culminating in the enthusiastic embrace of violent fascism

i once hosted a “history of horses” session (as requested by my 3yo niece) that this guy might find interesting

sorry @jlyndelia.bsky.social for getting your last name wrong in issue 51 I mean 31

NYPD officers also had their shoelaces tied together, their pants pulled down revealing boxers with hearts on them, and one was seriously injured when he attempted to run through a tunnel which a vicious criminal appeared to have painted on a wall

“this is my son bart, he owns a factory downtown” because it feels like the entire storyline of bart securing the old factory at auction (which i love) was written purely to have homer say this one line to grimey

Like hockey but would rather not support the US men’s team? PWHL is on YouTube, games start back up in 2 days!

My publisher @haymarketbooks.org is offering some of my books at 40% for Black History Month: www.haymarketbooks.org/blogs/103-ha...

yes because nations competing in althleticism and strength on the world stage is not political. not to mention mocking your own team with your president. idk what’s worse, being so brainwashed you don’t understand that or simply pretending that you don’t to get away with it.

Hard to imagine anything less punk than resource-wasting corporate products owned by right-wing billionaires in league with plutocratic governments and trained on stolen artist's work used to aid state surveillance, mass immiseration, and inequality.

perfect misogynistic ending to mark the last two weeks of nothing but nationalism + sport

I saw a clip on tik tok this morning of the call from the locker room. There were far too many men laughing.

ever wonder if you’re still capable of finding the 10 differences between two cute little cartoons? coffee news.

I think we could solve all our problems if we invested heavily in Coffee News. Every public building has Coffee News right at the front. Want to know what's going on? Coffee News. Want to buy swimwear in your bra size? Coffee News. Want to...Coffee News.

I wonder why they were wearing them… oh “Judge Carolyn Kuhl, who is presiding over the trial, ordered anyone in the courtroom wearing AI glasses to immediately remove them, noting that any use of facial recognition technology to identify the jurors was banned.”
