My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

there's no contradiction between "hating trans people" and "wanting to fuck trans people". have you guys heard what men think of women

Air Canada flight attendants have overwhelmingly rejected a deal on a new collective agreement, with 99.1% of flight attendants voting "no"

NEW: “Remigration” and “mass deportations” is the new rallying cry of white nationalists. Experts say it’s a call for ethnic cleansing. A new Canadian group is trying to "normalize" the concept and get the Conservative Party of Canada to talk more about immigration. www.antihate.ca/remigration_...

the only Trump announcement I care about is one he won't be able to give 🤷🏻‍♀️

Please talk to some Black people before dismissing the psychological impact of having Feds running around the neighborhood hemming people up en masse.

It's now a week since @dalfaculty.bsky.social members were locked out by Dal's board. No access to our physical & virtual workspaces. My students & TAs are left stressed about what will happen next week & I am so angry for them. Do better @dalhousie.bsky.social Get back to the table & #KeepDalStrong

Nooo English revolution don't devolve into a colonialist dictatorial military theocracy you're so pretty ha ha

Medical relief agency has treated more than 1,300 patients for wounds sustained near notorious GHF aid sites in Gaza.

Oh by the way, I debuted with the Sagacious Kiki House of Sankofa last week.

Le mot « Israël » n’est jamais prononcé (encore moins « génocide », évidemment). On dit une fois le mot « bombes ». Les enfants ont « trouvé la mort », c’est une « crise humanitaire » 🤯

stick leo on the bds list

Palestinian activist and participant in the Oscar-winning film, No Other Land, Odeh Hadalin was shot in the chest and killed by an Israeli settler in the Occupied West Bank. The shooter, Yinon Levi, has been under sanctions by both the EU and the US.

How many people lost their jobs and careers for opposing this horror? But now it's ok to say because it's so undeniable but only after brow beating the left? It was undeniable in the first few weeks after 10/7. So many simply refused to see it.

Hey Bluesky, It’s been a while. Here’s a selfie.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

🚨 BREAKING | Labour has **banned** schools from teaching children about transgender identities. New guidance from Bridget Philipson BANS materials that "encourage pupils to question their gender" and orders teachers to teach "laws about biological sex". It's Section 28 again.

Let’s be clear: ✔ Faculty want to teach. ✔ Faculty want to bargain. ✖ The Board walked. A lockout in August isn’t leadership—it’s negligence. #KeepDalStrong (link to media release in comment)

> Sees interesting job opportunity > Notices it’s located in the US > Closes tab

People who entered the US legally and have no criminal charges are being held in the Everglades camp, according to records obtained by the Miami Herald. Maybe that’s why the government won’t release the names of those being detained. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Une personne est morte de la peste pulmonaire en Arizona. C'est le genre de nouvelle qui attire l'attention du médiéviste que suis. Sans traitement précoce, la forme pulmonaire de la peste a un taux de mortalité de près de... 100% apnews.com/article/pneu...

More than 75 Palestinians have been killed, including 30 aid seekers, in Israeli attacks on the enclave since dawn.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

If I still lived in Halifax, I’d be in the streets right now. The level of negligence at the municipal and provincial levels is staggering. This isn’t just failure. It’s violence.

Just when you think the Nova Scotian provincial government can’t get any worse

That there’s a police state.

Accountability isn’t about proving you meant well. It’s about recognizing harm, listening without deflection, and choosing repair over ego. So many people miss that part.

NEW: As Gaza starves and Palestinians are slaughtered while trying to get food, we should remember the writers who called for UNRWA to be dismantled. I’ve compiled a list of them who made these arguments in Canadian newspapers since October 7. www.readthemaple.com/as-gaza-star...

Y’all don’t hate white supremacy enough for me.

The correct action here is for Fillmore to resign, since a Harvard educated planner and former Halifax senior staff member should know the basics of how the city/council operates.

The strike vote is overwhelming. Faculty members will strike if the @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board does not improve its offer. Conciliation is set to begin this week. Visit dfa.ns.ca for media release. @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social @cautdefencefund.bsky.social

Let their racist, trans-antagonist and general queer-phobia; misogyny and class antagonist bullshit land into a void of silence like it did not even happen. They need our responses to give their bullshit life and secure their project. We must do otherwise. Non-engagement is a political project too.

On some issues we who have ethics are going to have to practice collective non-engagement. Our engagement becomes a symbiotic relationship giving life the bottom feeding apparatchiks. It was that kind of engagement that made Jordan Peterson a phenomenon. Please don’t keep doing it for his imitators.

the US is not a thriving nation. you are rich on a global level because you live in a violent empire even though the empires and inner cities are collapsing.

Stop spreading this garbage about em dashes in ACTUAL EDITED PROSE OH MY GOD. Plenty of actual human beings know how to type em dashes! We’re called “writers” and “editors” — maybe you’ve heard of us?

Rest In Peace to Philando Divall Castile who was taken from us by police on this day in 2016. (7/16/1983 - 7/6/2016).

“The Quebec rental board has recommended a record-high 5.9% rent increase — triple the rate of inflation. For years, average rents have increased faster than inflation, with landlords bypassing regulation with renoviction schemes and other legal loopholes.“

Marronage as a Guide to Police Abolition On the latest episode of #LeftOfBlack, critical geographer Dr. Celeste Winston joined me to discuss her book,'How to Lose the Hounds: Maroon Geographies and a World Beyond Policing' (Duke University Press) www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W0A...

I see my biopic is streaming

“Capitalism aims to hinder our imagination, and to relegate us to business as usual, and it seeps into our movement spaces — movement spaces that may not remember the significance of stopping, together, even for one person”

Christ, I just went down this rabbit hole and there is a LOT

Every time you say Alligator Alcatraz you are making light of serious human rights violations. One day folks will stop labeling according to the terms of the worst people in the country.

It is making my follicles bleed to read such a stupid piece of analysis. Ottawa effectively defunded its state revenues to please a hostile and unpredictable foreign leader, and CBC's "analysis" is: this is clever and good. www.cbc.ca/news/world/d...

For the past few weeks I have been writing 'another massacre in Gaza' almost every single day. Another massacre in Gaza. Israel continues its final solution. Most Western states maintain normal relations with the genocidal state.

“Independence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

⚠️ The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention publishes a statement calling the ongoing hostile actions by the U.K. Government and Media towards trans people “genocidal intent” (Excerpts in below thread) 👉🏻 www.lemkininstitute.com/_files/ugd/b... @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social @sarahowen.org.uk
