No one who has spread rhetoric that has incited attacks on dedicated scientists and healthcare workers should be allowed to hold government leadership positions or elected office. Period.

My favourite find from yesterday's #beachcombing walk: a pottery shard with the T. Furnival and Sons maker mark, including printed royal arms marks from circa 1878-1890 #seaglass #beachfinds #PEI #Maritimes

Since moving to PEI, I've become mildly obsessed with seaglass and pottery shards, so beachcombing has become a favourite activity of mine. Here's a pile of some of my favourite sea glass finds so far. 🐚🌊 #seaglass #beachcombing #PEI #Maritimes

Damning. A new report is exposing hundreds of Canadian arms shipments to Israel. I’ll be covering this today. The press conference should be starting any minute now. armsembargonow.ca/report/

Let’s talk about something that makes me want to vomit: the manosphere. Because a new study from Emelia Sandau and @luccousineau.bsky.social reveals its gnarly offline impact — starting in classrooms. Luc joins me on the show this week to explain. Here’s a sneak peek:

FUCK THE PATRIARCHY 💯

Mark Carney promised “elbows up” against the US, but he’s offering a warm embrace to US tech companies and the AI hype they’ve unleashed. As Canada’s AI minister suggests AI regulation is off the table, there’s ample reason to be worried about Carney’s tech agenda. My latest for @breachmedia.ca:

I wanna encourage allies to make donations today. Every sexual assault centre in the country has seen an uptick in calls *just* from the trial, let alone today's verdict. I'd also encourage you to support the most effective rape resistance program in the world (based here in Canada!)

Here's my quick advice on refuting garbage today:

Colour me un-fucking-surprised that hockey players have been acquitted of sexual assault.

Science shouldn’t be a partisan issue. From cancer treatments to extreme weather alerts, science makes everyone’s life better, regardless of political affiliation. But science becomes partisan when corrupt politicians defund research, fire scientists, and censor data, harming us all.

Il me fait grandement plaisir de relayer l'opinion de Léa Clermont Dion. (Même si c'est dans #LaPresse) Faites de même si le coeur vous en dit. #MerciLea #ÇaSuffit

“The publication is completely rudderless.” A sale meant to save The Coast, Halifax’s go-to publication for arts and entertainment reporting and irreverent takes on the news, instead marked its decline. @timbousquet.bsky.social explores: thewalrus.ca/inside-the-tech-...

Ah nice, @lapresse.ca a publié la lettre de Gilbert Rozon dans sa section Opinions. Je m'ennuyais de son côté de la médaille. Merci pour ce travail objectif et nécessaire.

Je ne publie pas la référence ici car La Presse aujourd'hui donne la parole à Gilbert Rozon au nom de la neutralité et de la pluralité des voix. J'attends donc que pour les xx prochains jours à ce que l'on donne une tribune à chaque victime par jour. Misère La Presse c'est dégueulasse Beurk

I have so many thoughts and feelings about this article and even more about the issue at hand. Here's a messy 🧵on my thoughts :

Mutual aid plays a critical role in reducing harm during times of government abandonment. However, when it comes to massive public health problems such as pandemics and the climate crisis, mutual aid alone is not enough. No matter how dark things get, we still need to fight for institutions.

Now more than ever Art should be political. Let’s make BlueSky a place where radical art, music, poetry flourishes, circulates, and is shared.

🚨!!! Canada's prime minister just got caught on a hot mic. What he said is, um, chilling. Justin Trudeau thinks Trump's threat of annexing Canada is "very real" and is linked to our country's natural resources. But even if Trump wants to absorb Canada, *can* he do it? Let's talk:

Widespread destruction in Gaza is no accident—much of it reflects a calculated Israeli policy to make Gaza unlivable. Trump’s suggestion of “taking over” Gaza and further forcibly displacing Palestinians would amount to an alarming escalation in the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.
