I love this person who posted screenshots of the garbage article so I can avoid giving Slate clicks. 🏳️‍⚧️🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵🏳️‍⚧️

What good is it to create any number of jobs building an engine to destroy jobs and concentrate wealth into the AI owners? At best this is a short term gain in order to gut our livelihoods. At worst, there’s no gain, we lose our jobs, and AI is a grift just like NFTs and crypto.

The only downside to riding a European train going 300 kph is that you’ll see a castle but it will be gone before you can take out your phone. But I managed to snap this one.

“Oh you’re from Canada? You must know Angine de Poitrine!” Dang they are so big in Europe right now.

I have no idea what this is referencing.

I know I’m late. But I stumbled across this today and it’s too good not to share. I really struggle with understanding why trans people are being discriminated against, and this explanation really helps. Trans people should be free to be visible every day. 🏳️‍⚧️

@loadingreadyrun.com the new Panalysts slaps. I’m enjoying it very thoroughly with a rabbit and some Advil on the side. youtu.be/ZJh-KcnzOOo

My feelings surrounding our collective reaction to the recent horrific events in northern BC, but like, better than I could ever hope to articulate them. youtube.com/shorts/WWmNu...

It was nice of Florida Ghislaine to give her testimony by the warming glow of gaslight

I need an open source license that prevents the code, compiled or otherwise, from being used by fascists like ICE.

Another sweet, sweet bundle of #slugblaster stuff cooked up by the Wilkie's discord community. Gear! Monsters! Adventures! New settings! All sorts of tasty stuff. All the money goes to help teens. itch.io/b/3496/slugb...

My bill, No More Loopholes Act (Bill C-233), would ensure American-bound arms are regulated like all other exports—subjecting them to transparency and human rights risk assessments. We must stop giving blank cheque for Canadian-made weapons. #BillC233 2/2 www.hilltimes.com/story/2026/0...

They didn’t start the trade war, but they have to realize why this is happening. Right? ground.news/article/us-a...

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..." Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

In 2003 I showed my parents Skype and helped my relatives set it up so that my parents didn’t have to pay predatory long-distance phone fees. 20 years later I don’t want to introduce them to the latest tech because it’s all stealing their data, and in the case of gen AI it could misinform them.

Politicians should have to take an empathy test before they get sworn in. Y’all can be certain Trump wouldn’t pass the Voight-Kampff.

“Historically, the police have been on the wrong side of history during the civil rights movement and the labor movement. The pivotal points in American history are when police realized that their solidarity should be with labor, not capital.” -John Laesch, mayor of Aurora Aurora, lead the way. ♥️

For a long time now, I’ve wondered what motivates all the transphobia we’re seeing today. This explanation certainly lines up with what I’ve seen. People who are happy with themselves aren’t out there fighting against trans rights.

I got bullied earlier this week by defenders of the other parties when I pointed out that both sides of the Commons stood and celebrated. I’m glad that the NDP held fast to their principles and did not participate in the ovation.

Whether we vote Liberal or Conservative, they’re both deeply in bed with the fascists down south. But there is a third way, Canada.

Don’t let payment processors tell us what smut we can buy.

Protect trans folks.

This feels like elbows-down. Giving up our lunch money to the bully so they’ll stop beating us. The US has proven itself to be an unstable ally and we need to grow more independent and look for new trade deals elsewhere, with countries we can rely on.

Dear Bluesky mods: JK Rowling’s heart is made of garbage and her veins run with sewage, as evidenced by her dedicating her fortune to fighting against trans people who are only guilty of being themselves. Ban me.

Absolutely excellent list, and not just for sexual role play. I had to check in with my TTRPG group the other week, mid-session. Safety first, y’all.

A freight train rolls diagonally across the lower third from the Calgary skyline in the distance through grassy hills. The upper two thirds is the sky, full of rolling clouds lit by the golden light of the sun’s last last of today’s rays.

I made art for a couple of NPCs that my players came up with in my Wildsea campaign.

Wednesday’s @thetimes.com cartoon times.newsprints.co.uk/morten-morla...

This 140 page omnibus bill grants sweeping powers against all Canadians but particularly targets immigrants and asylum seekers, some of the most vulnerable people in Canada. Carney’s first real act is immediately giving “elbows down” capitulation to the monsters below the border.

My Bluesky feed is so gay today, and I love it. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Yoooo. Punk Rock Flea Market was rad as hell. I got art and zines and seeds and cold brew and lavender lemonade.

Exactly right. All humans have rights. Animals and the planet should be protected. I hold these truths to be self-evident. It’s shocking that any of this is controversial.

Federal-funded health care for trans folks has been completely cancelled early today. Here’s a DIY video for anyone who needs it. Thanks to @evlynmoreau.bsky.social for sharing. Pass it on.

It really is that easy. Everyone has the right to self-identity, and that self-identity must be respected.

I truly hope the people of Battle River–Crowfoot recognize that Poilievre is trying to use them to keep his mansion in Ottawa.

Fantastic news from Australia! Two Commonwealth countries rejecting fascism and Trumpism in the same week. Congratulations, Aussie friends!

This is deeply upsetting. Citation: united24media.com/latest-news/...
