a month ago today we said goodbye to my Rhubarb and my heart broke all to bits. house too quiet, man. distinct lack of hilarious mischief occuring. nobody wakes me up by flopping against me in the morning and wiggly pawing at me until I scritch their ears and belly and snoot

Absolutely horrific. Canada’s massive border bill, C12, has been adopted after third reading at Senate. C-12 will become the country's largest machinery of deportation: deporting refugees without hearings, retroactive bars, and mass status cancellation. A mirror of anti-migrant ICE violence.

@nora.zone was randomly labeled “Rude” which might be the most condescending content label anyone has ever put on anything

Everything about how we exist in society is a political choice. Continuing to allow people to be unhoused is a political choice. Unchecked grocery prices? A political choice. Potholes - political choice. Yeah, things must be weighed etc etc, but these are choices and we can demand better ones.

Fundamentally, the "Squamish Historical Society" does not respect First Nations or their views. Their invited speaker was not going to deliver a "respectful, informed, responsible dialogue". They were going to spread lies, misinformation and hatred. This is fucking bullshit.

Holy fuckamole what the hell did I just watch?!

If you are near UBC tomorrow and can show up to tell these residential school deniers/antisocial attention-seekers to fuck off, please do ubyssey.ca/news/demonst...

So I shared this thread on the 100th anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 & I'll share again because I think it is important for folks to know what it is the Trump admin has to undo to undo our US citizenship in order to set a precedent for challenging birthright citizenship.

There is no virus that “only” causes serious harm in people who are high-risk. And even if there were, it would still be important to protect yourself and others. Please take steps to prevent getting and spreading illness in order to protect your own health and the health of others.

From @amandafollett.bsky.social: When Floyd Joseph got cancer, his WCB claim was denied, with WorkSafeBC saying smoking/drinking were more likely causes — despite him not being a smoker or drinker. He didn't have the strength to appeal. “I’m trying to fight cancer, not fight WCB,” he says.

weaving is truly one of the best stims around. you get rhythmic foot pedal motion and click clack sound and a developing pattern visual that you can plan and calculate ahead or freestyle as you go, it's so damn satisfying

Dr Lyne Filiatrault has written about how this year's H3N2 flu variant is straining hospitals, and what we can do to help alleviate that: get vaccinated, wear a mask, and filter the air. surreynowleader.com/2025/12/06/o...

Update: Richard Hamelin, a forest pathology professor at UBC says the cuts are "mind-boggling." “Once you pull the plug on a program it can take several decades, even with the best intentions, to get these programs going again,” he said.

great explainer by @michellegamage.bsky.social for @thetyee.ca on the constitutional challenge brought by the Drug User Liberation Front, which is being argued in court now: thetyee.ca/News/2025/12...

They made "spinster" into a misogynistic slur; a spinster was a woman who was financially independent because she was good enough at making cloth and clothing that she didn't have to submit to the patriarchal construct of marriage.

The incredible, indomitable, inspirational Alice Wong has left us. I'm so grateful to have known her on social media, and so grateful for all the words she shared with us and all the actions she encouraged us into making. May we live up to her example. (so you don't have to go to Instagram)

this is SO FUNNY omg

But this lawsuit is so much bigger than me or PressProgress This lawsuit could have chilling implications for journalism and democracy in Canada Caylan Ford is also asking the court to protect politicians’ secrets and prevent journalists from reporting on documents leaked by whistleblowers

the top choice for programs and services to cut in last year's budget survey for both residents and businesses was DECREASE THE POLICE BUDGET so this they changed the questions so you'll have to write it in #vanpoli

people don’t think of the spruce and cottonwoods of the boreal when they think old-growth, but these are critical ecosystems, for habitat, culture, climate resilience, etc. necessary, beautiful, powerful & worth protecting

UBI is a legitimate (and correct) answer to most of these questions. Select Other & write it in.

hey if a country sells a person to another country for imprisonment and slave labor I don’t think we should call it deportation

juvenile house finches and their brief Time of Eyebrows always crack me up

Sometimes therapy sucks because it makes you worse at handling certain things …. Because you were never meant to handle them and now you have the tools to stop doing it

holy hell, SO MANY accounts (and not tiny ones) to block via literally anybody's posts about the texas floods today. horrible.

like B.C.'s bill 15, which literally every municipality, Indigenous nation and interest group opposed, the government's argument for giving itself unlimited power was “Trust us, bro. we're pals, right?” and fuck off. the party is holding your vote hostage for the next election because the other guys

this is fucking despicable. all of american healthcare is pretty despicable, of course, but suddenly demanding $2880 extra a year for lifesaving medication from a whole kind of people because the government now considers that kind of people gross & an affront to god is fucking despicable.

Like how are you going to rightfully acknowledge that putting Autistic ppl on registries, weaponized diagnoses, state administered euthanasia of disabled ppl, & forced "treatment" are all acts of fascism, yet in the same breath, blame ppl with cognitive disabilities & mental illness for fascism???
