"What's in the box?" "Pain."

I cannot overstate how much I loathe this first month of 2026. Knowing the world has lost this precious gem of a human is so devastatingly sad, it but feels especially crushing in the current wretched year of our discontent. What a gift to have shared the earth with Catherine O'Hara 😭

"Take a thousand naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, 'Oh, I'm too spooky!', or 'Nobody wants to see these tiny boobies.' But believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes and say, Dear God, I was a beautiful thing!" I will miss you Catherine O'Hara 😭

Frog and Toad really get it

My friends, please read this to understand what is happening in Gaza. I apologize for the harsh language, but this is the bitter truth. Share and donate if you can. chuffed.org/project/help...

DoFo doesn't have to pretend to care what we think because we keep splitting the opposition vote & THEY KEEP GETTING ELECTED. It would be GREAT if the other leaders could stop spinning their tires and just work together to defeat them. No? @maritstilesndp.bsky.social @ontarioliberal.bsky.social

this series is great. their 3 hour documentary on the tiny train that runs through remote NE Ontario was amazing. www.tvo.org/video/docume...

A Gwich’in man from Inuvik was travelling w/ his wife & children from Costa Rica to Canada. Detained at airport while transiting through US. Had his passport, status card, etc. ICE agent who detained him stated that status card was worthless b/c “They hand them out like candy up there” #indigenous

Important reminder

More than 100 Gazans have been accepted to Canadian universities. Canada isn’t letting them in. pressprogress.ca/gazans-accep...

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

Use the anger you’re feeling now to get caught up and keep fighting it.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Block AltNPS. Trying to engagement farm off of an actual murder. Piece of shit.

Let the historical record note that the business elites at Davos repeatedly laughed during a fascist speech that declared intent to annex another country’s land, promoted election conspiracies and railed against the free press

This makes me so sad. What a devastating loss, for the USA but also just the scientific community in general. Global colleagues advance knowledge by learning from one another. This is such a travesty.

I thought this post was a metaphor for the current state of things, but it was not a metaphor. It's just a crazy thread that makes for an excellent distraction from said state.

Friends take note - never register online for a protest. Stay safe, everyone!

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

Wait Bo Nix broke his ankle???? Wtf? JFC Houston better win tomorrow because I can't abide the Pats in the fucking Superbowl. Just pouring salt into the wound

THAT WAS A BULLSHIT INTERCEPTION

Mount Sinai claimed that satisfying the nurses’ demands would cost it $1.6 billion over three years. Many members of Mount Sinai’s own board of trustees could write a check for that amount without missing the money. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

I first learned that there is systemic racial discrimination playing out at *every* stage of the criminal justice system back in my undergrad, 25 years ago. Same as it ever was.

Look...a flash grenade was tossed into a car full of kids last night. All 6 are in the hospital. But the NYT is reporting from Ye Olde Pickle Factory? 🖕 Reminder to my white friends that racism is the entire reason we have landed here as a society. And I say "we" very purposefully, as a Canadian.

This is a quote from Macron to French troops, as they send reinforcements to Greenland at Denmark's request. Friends, I'm not sure I'm ready for 2026.

Where was George Floyd murdered? Oh, yeah...on an island of decency.

This comment just makes me realize how USians really don't understand what it's like to worry that another country's actions will impact your life. It's not "a riot" to see a fascist world superpower threatening & terrorizing people at home, especially when we also we see it spreading its wings.

Take out your notebooks, friends, because it's time for a lesson Yes I know that analogy clocks me as an old biddy. I'm speaking to my people rn

Homelessness is getting worse across Ontario with an estimated 85,000 people who were without a home in 2025 and nearly 2,000 encampments across the province, a new report from Ontario’s municipalities shows. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1161124...

Watching Hollywood awards shows right now feels kinda weird, but this was definitely my favourite part last night. Wanda Sykes is just such a treasure.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Me, liking every post I can find from other Bills fans right now: #GoBills #BillsMafia #BuffaloBills #LetsGoBuffalo

LFG!!!!!!!!! #BillsNation

BALL DON'T LIE Go Bills! #GoBills #Buffalo #Bills

Here's a little light-hearted nerd fun for your Sunday morning. Read the threaded response - I had no idea Detective Munch had such a busy career! 🤓

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

Last year I watched the movie "Civil War" (it's meh). There's a scene when the main character says her parents don't even know/believe there is a violent civil war happening, b/c they live in another part of the country where nothing bad was happening. Been thinking about that a lot this morning.

What do you despise? By this are you truly known.

American friends - share this. Join the call. There are things you can do to help. You are not alone!

important message to all bluesky users

This murderer can hide his face, but there's no hiding from the internet. DHS is already lying about what happened, but there's no hiding from the internet. Murderers.

I've been struggling to reconcile both my certain and uncertain feelings about what's happening in Venezuela today. This post helped. I hope it helps you, too.

Imperialism, on full display.
