I just emailed the CBC to voice my disgust about this. 😑

And once again I will say that if more people had watched *and understood* Babylon 5 back in the day, the world wouldn't be in the mess it's in today. "Improper ideology", ffs.

This is a fantastic article, and I have the same questions. Why aren't we pushing solar and wind as nation-building projects and working to make Canada a global green energy leader? Instead we're going with more fossil fuel pipelines and a discredited "carbon capture" system? 🤨

I really hope the NDP, at both levels, are paying attention to this campaign and taking notes. I'm not even American and this guy gives me hope for a better world. I want that here, too. 🥺

I think it's becoming clear that if you like indie creators, you're going to need to support them any way you can. And that doesn't mean money, just spreading worth of mouth can be powerful as well.

I would like to announce that I currently have THREE #crows in my backyard. One of them is splashing in the small bird bath (not sure how it even fits in that thing) and the other two are drinking out of the big one (that would be a much better fit for crow-splashing). 🖤

More of this kind of thing. I always wondered why doctors weren't federal employees, but other levels of government would work, too. Never made sense to me why someone who was supposed be a medical expert was also expected to be a business expert. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Just posted a 'lil blog article expanding on my "themes in Chalice of Caladriai" post! 💙📚 #AuthorBlog #ReaderSky nptwrites.com/themes-in-ch...

THIS. I keep saying AI is a tool of oppression. We are rapidly approaching the point where only the children of the very wealthy will be given a real education. The rest will be shoved into packed buildings with a handful of adult supervisors as they are "taught" by AI systems controlled by CEOs.

THIS is why I will never understand governments that withhold this vaccine from ANYONE and why it makes no sense at all to increasingly restrict who has access to it.

Anti-science creeps northward. 😳 Dr. Boileau's comments suggest ignorance of asymptomatic spread, the exponential harm of each infection (including long COVID risk), and the effectiveness of layered protections (vaccines, masking in public, cleaning the air): www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

While people are suddenly and uncharacteristically paying attention to media regulation, please take a moment to notice all the massive harm Brendan Carr has done to consumer protection and public safety as well me, back in April:

New Chapman's products incoming with this expansion, apparently! I wonder what they will be??? 😋🍨

If anyone is looking for a great middle grade read this weekend, I'm currently reading The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Mettlestone and it is such a delight. Weird and whimsical and wonderful. #BookSky

Anyone else having payout issues with Itchio? Initiated one 23 days ago and it's still showing as "in review". 😑

Imagine making this point about, say, climate investments, arguing how it'll have outsized societal and economy-wide returns, and that we should stop worrying about climate tech's returns on investments, which, in any case, we're measuring wrong.

"Ontario opposition parties are criticizing the Ford government for giving millions of dollars in grants from the Skills Development Fund to private companies run by “friends” of the Progressive Conservatives," writes @jessiecatherine.bsky.social. #OnPoli

Hi Canadian friends! Want to help prevent what’s happening to science south of our border from happening here?? Hope the answer is YES… Assuming it is, it took me about 2 mins to fill out and send this pre written letter #ArmchairActivism #AcademicSky 🇨🇦 🧪

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

Look. I'm not mad you bought a Kimmel picture book. But marginalized creators are getting banned and death threats and harassed all the time. It'd be neat to show them that wallet solidarity.

I can confirm, this one is awesome. Pick it up, frens, it has soup!

Thread. (And now I don't have to read any of the relevant news articles. 😂)

On this day in 1692, Giles Corey was pressed to death at the age of 81, for not entering a plea, thus not allowing himself to be tried for witchcraft, during the Salem Witch Trials. His last words were, "More weight..." Anyway, more than 300 years later he gets a shout out in my kid's book so...

Who could’ve predicted this, other than every single critical data studies scholar, who’ve been highlighting data bias issues for years and years? Given this previous knowledge, it’s criminal that this technology has been deployed at scale. A triumph of willful ignorance and wishful thinking.

“It’s not the fragility of the audience. It’s the fragility of leaders.”

You know where the border is, dude. Don't let the cobra chickens bite you in the ass on the way out. 😑

It was harvest day for my neighbour's giant apple tree today, so I have made an apple and mixed berry crumble for dessert tonight and it is in the oven and it already smells amazing. 😋🍎

Did not know this. Reposting in case someone in #Ottawa needs this service. :)

Quebec just cancelled COVID vaccines. Like Alberta. If you want it, you have to pay out of pocket. I have already emailed my MPP to say that better not happen in Ontario because you KNOW it's going to spread to other provinces.

Well, what do Germans know about creeping fascism anyway?

If this country actually cared about endless wildfires, recurring droughts, and simultaneous flooding in other areas, it would be working on expanding and improving our passenger rail system rather than making it worse.

I believe the term for this is pre-emptive compliance. Sickening.

This. Is. Insane. COVID causes more damage to the human brain and body than influenza does and both vaccines should be widely and freely available to ALL age groups. What is even happening? Why is everything so STUPID ALL THE TIME now?!

Democracies don't have some god-given right to prevail. Great nations can descend into autocracy, and more - throughout history - great civilisations have been known to crumble practically overnight. 80 years of peace and relative prosperity have lulled millions into believing it all immutable.

WHY are all the other countries kissing up to this guy all the time? He's destroyed his own country, why are all the rest of them allowing him to start doing it to theirs?

“As in SARS, so again with COVID: Public Health authorities have been largely useless in providing up to date information to clinicians & the public around airborne transmission, long COVID, spread in schools, N95s etc. PH leaders are widely perceived as more focused on their image than their job.”
