I’m looking for 100% Filipino people who are willing to submit a cheek swab test in hopes for a genetic match to my aunt, who is battling blood cancer. The registry for stem cells doesn’t have many Filipino people in it, and joining it could help many. Please share/reach out to me! bit.ly/4aiUIKQ

Amazon is making money off AI copies of books - and putting the onus on authors to prove they’ve been plagiarised. Honestly, just stop buying books from Amazon. Get them from an actual bookshop or order them from a reputable book supplier like bookshop.org www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

#DnD is cancelled this weekend due to two of four of my players being sick BUT this does mean I do have an extra week to create really elaborate lore, so silver linings!

🚨The video recording of the AI and the Politics of Extraction panel is now live! Watch this fascinating 1.5 hour discussion with @naomiaklein.bsky.social, @profwhw.bsky.social, @mysdick.bsky.social, and @profhvdv.bsky.social as they explore the risks of unfettered AI implementation.

Happy Holidays! ALL Haymarket Books are 40% off through January 2nd!

FYI as you head into the holiday season: Shopify is a Canadian company, but its CEO Tobi Lütke is Maple MAGA in both words & monetary support (under the guise of “free speech” & “open commerce”).

I ordered it Tuesday and it's already here and looking beautiful! All profits go to UNICEF Gaza Appeal @naddcalendar.bsky.social

Been working on my project proposal on income reduction for tertiary mental health patients for a year now, and what ppl get wrong is the cause-&-effect relationship between poor folks & financial literacy. Poor people don't have financial literacy skills because they NEED MONEY TO PRACTISE THEM.

Looking for some emergency work to cover some bills. I design book covers for indie science fiction, fantasy, and horror authors. $100 ebook, $200 for ebook and print. PLEASE DM ME for any questions or information! Reposting repaid in ETERNAL LOVE <3

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative. The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Wow. First, this is very interesting sanctions implementation. Secondly, really illustrates weaponized interdependence, but also how the overuse of those powers will erode US soft and corporate power and influence.

We are not living in an era of optional climate policy. We are living in an era of planetary limits where the choices we make in city halls will determine the world our children inherit, @carolmliao.bsky.social and @naomiaklein.bsky.social write. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/13/o...

A timeline cleanser: My recent newsletter is about rise of "repair cafes" around the world, where communities come together to fix each other's beloved things. The goal: reduce consumer waste, and maybe make some buddies in the process 🔧👭 insideclimatenews.org/news/1111202...

I'm dropping in to Vancouver city council today and can't live-skeet everything, but it's worth noting that there are currently over 600 speakers signed up to speak to the budget, which proposes finding $120 in savings to support a 0% property tax increase. #vanpoli

I’m honestly shocked that this story from @globalnews.ca has flown under the radar. Confirmation that Amit Shah, the second-most powerful man in the Indian government, was directly involved in the assassinations on Canadian soil. globalnews.ca/news/1151469...

Did anyone else who wasn't raised religious fee like religion and witchcraft were very enmeshed? Oh, I have to do a specific sequence of things with specific tools using specific items for an arcane event to occur? Cool.

10/10 take. No notes.

I want to do a study of what colours people associate with different school subjects. Like, my science binder was always blue, except for the semester when I took biology and chemistry, in which case biology was green and chemistry was blue. Math was always red. I don't know why.

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this. can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

The 2026 conference for @indexerscanada.bsky.social will take place April 10-11 over Zoom. Our theme is Sorting It Out, and we're accepting proposals from potential speakers until November 15 (link below for more). Keep an eye out for further updates as our program develops! #indexing

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Do we *have* a save draft function and I just can't see it? I'm never going to use dislikes, but I'd really love to be able to save the thing I write at 2am so that I can double-check for coherence in the morning.

The release of the new Florence + the Machine's album could not have been more perfectly timed, both for Halloween vibes and feminine rage

Canadian researchers should be aware the there is a motion before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research to force Tricouncils to hand over disaggregated peer review data on all applications: Applicant names, profiles, demographics Reviewers names, profiles, comments, and scores

Alberta, I know we’re all angry, but put your negative energy to work: write, make a phone call, let teachers and workers in your life know you support them. Use your voice. Flood the lines and inboxes with feedback. I’ll post my letter later today. Please do the same.

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

As a 3rd generation academic, my family has been teaching continuously since the 1950s and only the last 20 years involved Learning Management Systems. They’re by no means necessary to the project of learning, and if they demand surrendering autonomy to corporations then they should be discontinued.

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually
