Regular test to see if @moderation.bsky.app is more prudish than the Victorians. If they auto-label this 1900 trick film as "graphic" you know they still are.

Mars First Logistics is FUCKING. PHENOMENAL. If you liked the core mode of Trailblazers and wanted another like that? If you liked Death Stranding but wished it were chiller and let you build roads ANYWHERE (and had a ton of cool cars instead of walking everywhere)? YOU WILL LOVE THIS

am i doing #DriveInMob tonight? idk. i am le tired

I get that mail volume is down across the country but it is pure vandalism to take our built infrastructure of door-to-door mail and throw it away. As I explained last time, super mailboxes are unworkable in densely packed urban neighbourhoods. Rural delivery will just not happen because of cost.

hmmm am i up for liveskeeting tonight? i'm so tired

Effective immediately, all CUPW members at Canada Post are on a nation-wide strike. www.cupw.ca

FYI: Mondo is releasing the first officially licensed OVER THE GARDEN WALL collectibles, as well as a special vinyl version of the show's soundtrack.

This is really great reporting from Mother Jones - the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine disavows the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine for misusing his work. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

From the humorous to the horrific, Killer Debt has a murder for everyone Which one will be your favourite? There's only one way to find out 😈😈

we're suing ICE, and your support makes this fight possible: www.404media.co/were-suing-i...

More good news I missed: the two Metro bus drivers who’d been fired for speculating about how they’d resist ICE have been *reinstated* after public outcry.

Deleted the below posts out of an abundance of caution. Despite the words of the Proclamation, an unnamed White House official told New York Times that they intend to apply the $100,000 only to new applicants only. If that is correct, the implications are not as urgent.

“If you are in H-1B or H-4 status and are currently outside the U.S., we strongly recommend that you do what you can to return to the U.S. tomorrow before the deadline.”

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

Alberta, this is you too actually, right now.

Please write to the Canadian Federal Government and ask them to implement a special measure to allow trans people and their families to flee persecution in the US - before this Heritage bs turns into a pogrom

"When we use generative AI, we consent to the appropriation of our intellectual property by data scrapers. We stuff the pockets of oligarchs with even more money. We hand over our autonomy, at the very moment of emerging American fascism."

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Apologies for the typos. I was angry and typing on my phone.

A thread of all the elected Democrats who've put out statements of support for trans people this week as Republicans manufacture a genocide: 🧵

it’s summer again/still! #dlws

"By the time the rally, organized by a group called “Canada First,” was set to begin at 1 p.m., the crowd of about 100 assembled participants had fled their initial meeting point because they were surrounded by hundreds of counter-protesters. "

god bless #toronto for chasing away the racists at christie pits again

Transphobes are sickly obsessed degenerate creeps who are desperate to try and pin the blame for all of society’s ills on trans people, especially trans women, with absolutely zero evidence and I am tired of people acting like any of them are reasonable or worth listening to.

Nice to see an article about @atRachelGilmore in today's Devoir. Predictably, there is no similar coverage in English. When I was targeted by the same people, the same thing happened -- full page story in Le Soleil and silence in English.

Massive anti hate crowd in the pits. Small Canada first group is on the run.

Christie Pits once again secures a place in the history of anti-fascism in Canada.

Victims of capitalism. Hell before death. 1908. archive.org/details/hell...

woke up late but i think a small (but loud) group of fascists marched past my building on bloor st near St. George, escorted by cops. (i'm not even dressed yet, slept way late) #TOPoli #ChristiePits

Update! The fascists have been kicked out of the park!

I can safely say the fascist$ are severely outnumbered at Christie Pits!

Huge counterprotest to the hate rally at Christie Pits. Racists vastly outnumbered, immaculate vibes on the good side; live music, giant jenga, the works. Come through & show solidarity!

max headroom

One thing that kinda blows my mind: I spoke to national French-language media all morning about this. I did three separate interviews before 10am. I was interviewed for the U.S. publication WIRED about it. But English-language Canadian media? Crickets. It’s just so odd!

i’ve never seen a single episode of downton abbey, which is why i’m tempted to go see the “grand finale” movie that’s coming out this weekend

So let's talk about why this sucks. I am so angry and so disappointed, but I also know that a lot of people might not understand why I and my queer friends are feeling this way. Read on for an explanation 🧵(1/14)

Yes!!! Let the Canadian government know that we are pissed about MasterCard & Visa blocking legal transactions and playing the morality police Will they act on it? I don't know. But at least they'll know how angry we are

it’s early but it seems like maybe this is relevant again (wrote it last week fml)

a grim tribute to the man: Honoring his intense desire to stifle speech he did not agree with

Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way 🔗 www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

For a story: if you get suspended for posting "rest in piss," please let Aftermath know: [email protected]

Bluesky has banned Aftermath journalist Nathan Grayson for 24 hours for quote tweeting his own article with the words "rest in piss," which apparently is now against the rules here.

Most current discourse on reproductive rights talks about being forced to have babies we don't want, but it's equally important to remember the folks whose terror is not being allowed to have babies they DO want That's why it was essential to include this story about femicide in #ChoicesAnthology

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures. This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Got permission to post this; one of the trans women who was assaulted last week by a gang of anti-trans creeps has a gofundme up to help her with medical and survival costs while she recovers from a concussion. If you're able to help, please do. www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-tra...

if you've been targeted by bluesky moderation (warned or temp banned) over your comments about charlie kirk's death, please reach out to me.

lmao bluesky team really making it clear where their priorities are @safety.bsky.app @jay.bsky.team since this post was terrible enough to be taken down, how come posts using actual transphobic slurs are only labeled as "intolerant?" you're a fucking joke

Namecheap and Squarespace are enabling a website that far-right extremists are using to target people they feel have said the wrong things about Charlie Kirk’s death. If you’re looking for more companies to boycott.
