you can "react" to googledoc notifications the way you'd heart a message? Is this why I get weird phantom threads in my email bc I don't know how to read that someone reacted to the notification bc i'm looking for a message?

“I am a real minimalist, because I don’t do very much. I know some minimalists who call themselves minimalist but they do loads of minimalism. That is cheating.” - Robert Wyatt

CAG AI Data Centre Response Committee: We have until this Friday (June 12) to tell the City of Vancouver how we feel about the Mt Pleasant AI Data Centre! Comment period on the Planner Report for the 111 E 5th Ave rezoning app about to close!

trying to interpret 00s - 10s horror is so different when you've rejected mainstream beauty standards and the habit of looking at bodies as commodity

(submits a final report 4 years late) so anyways, 2021 was a wild time to try and do what i was doing thaaaaankssssss

what mfs have 545/mo for half a studio space

can't even walk into the ocean without a subscription to Atlantis+

i'm normal again, the pdf did not defeat me

You can't get every grant or show but it does sting more when it's Indig funding bodies that pass on me and my dumbass punk art visions

it doesn't matter how well organized my files are or how many formats j have them in or that i have a document with year of creations, dimensions and material lists, formatting for 9million different applications will always take forever and cost me at the verge of tears emotionally

Bill C-9 is the federal government’s new anti-hate bill and earlier this week Nunavut Senator Nancy Karetak-Lindell motioned to add residential school denialism to the bill but the senate voted 41 to 32 against it.

FYI: 🚨🚨🚨 CAM is available for free!!!

someone is cooking SO MUCH bacon and it smells so good that it woke me up

the FIFA-ification of the area around BC place is so enraging

They even FIFA'd city hall 🤮

I had forgotten about this. It's important. Yes, he took Trump's lesson on flooding the zone to heart. Here's the clip from October, 2027. #CdnPoli

every day i read many things that are so damn funny that it makes this moment in history significantly more bearable

“The Education Ministry, under Beare, objected to a democratically elected school board’s decision to end a police program. It conspired with police to attack and undermine the board… and it withheld evidence from the courts in a shocking failure.” @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

well, politically, a weird time to be in Alberta rn

Years of racist fear mongering and the highest court in Canada ended up ruling in favor of private property rights over Aboriginal title cfjctoday.com/2026/05/28/c...

my bones my bones my bones

I am just so tired of VanCAF shit.

Mass surveillance Bill C-22 is one of the most significant laws being pushed atm, but it is getting little attention. The Bill lays groundwork for giving US warrantless access to data, compels technology providers to build surveillance tools into their systems, and strips privacy protections.

I don't think Canadians quite comprehend the whole-scale Indigenous vengeance that would be unleashed if our kin was dragged into an Alberta separation against their will lol

A young teen organized a march yesterday against two proposed AI data centers in Vancouver, which is facing water restrictions & housing crisis. The first project will be at former Hootsuite headquarters. Hootsuite is also facing opposition for a pilot ICE contract. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

i'm so exhausted. almost like i'm chronically ill and yet i am surprised by this knowledge.

Not a single RCMP officer who has done a starlight tour has ever been convicted of murder yet you're hiring 1000 more of the racist extermination squad so they can shoot Indigenous people who block pipelines and data centers

how many times must i be consumed by my toilet rant

cw suicide To most of the people who get to decide if we live or die we're at best subhuman abstractions who exist as an entertaining debate topic and at worst fetishes you can murder with no consequences after and that's why everything is so shit Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I need to watch some police get their stinky feet stuck in their mouths, please release the footage for community morale

some of us live very different lives and as such i think loud music should be reserved for 10am onwards

lighting a candle for all trans people to live fucking long lives and get old as fuck and happy and comfortable and satisfied

i can't 🤦🏽 keep up with answering texts or emails rn

i need to get better at telling white guys apart from one another

no. i should not become obsessed with the idea of touching a whale. they don't need to be bothered! you don't need to be amnesiac Spock!

zines are how to analogue cringe

some fandoms imprint so deeply in you that you will never stop making fanmixes for them decades later 🙄

oh yay, Mt. Pleasant is getting a "data cluster" cheknews.ca/telus-and-fe...

science world has an exhibit in partnership with FIFA?? and the whole area is getting slapped with shitty vinyl ads and welcome signage

Vancouver, when the food delivery robots arrive:

An Inuk woman from Greenland whose newborn baby was forcibly removed by Danish authorities as a result of controversial parenting competency tests has won a landmark case in the high court ruling that their actions were illegal. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

i wish people in the arts would spend more time understanding not just the tech side of AI (and then romanticizing it and "what does it mean"-ing it) but also the industry and it's financials because I think THAT is where it's more revealing

can gov please give my stupid little piece of paper confirming i live life as a man or whatever so i can start changing over my IDs gender markers, a thing that is barely your business

The Mark Carney government has made “deploying AI at scale” a cornerstone of its attempt to make government more productive and slash costs by cutting 28,000 jobs by 2029. There are so many reasons to be skeptical, write Natasha Tusikov and Blayne Haggart. #canpoli

OpenAI was found to have violated Canadian privacy laws. But don’t worry: it won’t face any consequences because the commissioner says the company has changed its ways. 🫠

the process to get therapy coverage through FNHA is so fucking paternalistic

This council: life saving overdose prevention? Nah. Life saving cooling kits? Nah. Food delivery robots flooding our sidewalks? Oh heck yeah dude

some people just paint with words
