every single person i interact with on fb marketplace is also a datapoint in my amateur anthropological study of human behaviour, folks really out there acting all kinds of ways

the only male validation i’ll accept is when i’m purchasing a relatively obscure movie from a place that sells dvds and as the guy behind the counter is ringing me up he goes “i love this movie, great choice!”

me, as a child: *walks into the kitchen covered in my own blood holding a rabbit I fought from a hawk* my mom, on the phone: *mouthing* I’m on the phone

My response to anything over the next two weeks

"Inevitable" is a marketing term, not a certainty.

Had to explain Ea-Nasir to my therapist

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

the term "content creator" served it's purpose very well. conditioning people into seeing everyone as anyone and everything as anything, mostly among the ruling class who found it most convenient for their pockets. in that sense, generating slop is the final result of content creation

GRINDING vs HONING YOUR EDGE or how to improve w/o burning out! (1/17)🧵📚 I've spent a lot of time grinding, and subsequently a lot of time recovering, and then a lot of time just having fun, and I've got some thoughts I'd like to share re; energy! (skip to post #7 for the tips)

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

July 2024 after a string of fatal crashes: "It's the summer weather." December 2025 after a string of fatal crashes: "It's the winter weather." I don't know maybe our road design just isn't safe?

We asked this question and got tons of replies & messages here and on Instagram. The next step is to PLEASE email council with your personal stories. It's the one thing that sometimes genuinely changes their minds. We probably only need to convince 1 vote. visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/12/04/d...

A just, interventionist god would turn every billionaire CEO into dog meat

"The City’s own data indicate that conflicts involving right-turning vehicles are among the most common types of pedestrian collisions ... If adopted, these changes would mark one of the most significant intersection-safety reforms in Vancouver in years." dailyhive.com/vancouver/va...

Alida Oegema Thomas, a co-chair, with the women’s advisory committee, said she was disappointed, but not surprised. “We’ve seen this council almost actively undermine this process,” she said. “They don’t have a great track record of really uplifting community perspective.”

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

It was time a decade ago. It's way past time now. Enviro studies graduates tell me that the only jobs on offer are in oil and gas. That is cruel. They desperately want to be part of building a thriving future, not burning it down. They have the skills, they deserve the opportunities.

i think there should be a break between months 🫩 a monthend

"Since the April election, federal officials have recorded more than 220 meetings with oil and gas lobbyists — more meetings than days. The immense lobbying push was reflected in the federal budget, and continues to shape federal priorities."

In 1949, Albert Einstein wrote WHY SOCIALISM. Here is an extract.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

The bodies are piling up

There should be more games inspired by avant-garde stage design.

ghoul behaviour

this should be all of us after this budget passed tbh cuz like what other options are left at this point angry mob? 🫵🏻 you in? showing the most opposition maybe ever in history via official channels to a city budget didn’t work so maybe an angry mob could be effective?

vancouver city council voted in an egregious budget that only benefits millionaires, billionaires, and cops. here's a very simple action we can all take:

this is going to harm so many people. vancouver is going to be recovering from this harmful budget for years.

What if the true meaning of Christmas is supporting small businesses so the oligarchs have a very shitty season? 😚

Woah! Ontario passed a law starting Jan 2026 that it is illegal for companies to ghost you. If you have interviewed for a job they are legally required to inform you if they hire someone else or close the position. The law also requires salary transparency on listings and disclosing use of AI

For every carefree, "Don't stress, things always work themselves out!" person there is at least one extremely anxious, detail-oriented, forward-thinking loved one or coworker who has spent years behind the scenes making sure things work out

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...

If GenAI was truly “inevitable” and “the future,” you wouldn’t have rich executives putting out statements like this again and again. They know how unpopular it is (even as they’re ignorant of it crumbling around them), and keep trying to browbeat us into accepting it. They won’t succeed.

I hate how it costs me a fee to store my physical body someplace

"The risk to our country is not that Canadians will be too cautious in embracing AI, but that our government will act too rashly, tying our democracy, prosperity, security, sovereignty and collective well-being to a questionable product and its reckless promoters."
