i think this is a good rebuttal to her comments at davos a couple years back and explains why some of her work in the later years was wrong

i can appreciate a lot of the work that jane goodall did and experienced that paved the way for primatologists today. and also, i want to point out that a lot of the work in her later years wrt overpopulation was rooted in eugenics.

the MOMENT I get paid you know I'm directing coins to this project 😤 !!!!! let's GOOOOOOO

HAPPY SATURDAY the African Translation Project needs $3575 by October 31 to fully fund the translation of TWO BOOKS! Share Donate Browse the art shoppe (Donate a piece to the art shop?) share! ko-fi.com/africantrans...

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

"In some places, French postal workers now pick up prescriptions, return library books, and deliver flowers. Last year, only twenty eight per cent of La Poste’s revenue came from sending mail." Services can evolve in positive ways to meet new and growing needs.

The number of protests she blessed with these words, the number of meetings we closed or opened with this prayer!! I am so grateful for her. Rest in power Assata Shakur. You lived and you died free.

anybody who tries to claim that no one uses the public library has not been to or used a library lately... went to North York Central Library yesterday to write and the whole place was beautifully packed! really happy to see it so busy 💗 fund public libraries everybody

hear me out, government of canada, you could just FUND THE FUCKING POST OFFICE YOU ABSOLUTE GHOULS www.thestar.com/business/pos...

Every Letter carrier in the Maritimes walked off the job as soon as they heard the news. News travelled gradually west until the order came. Canadians voted for the guy who said he was going to protect jobs. I’m not sure destroying a service that was on the ground before confederation is the way.

correction it's just over THREE weeks away, I am apparently experiencing time compression

Emotion is absolutely one of the best albums ever made. The B sides/bonus tracks are probably my faves. That's it. That's the skeet.

Can*Con is in just over two weeks! I will be there!! Come find me, I will probably look like a deer in headlights and will be glad for a little kindness!

alas, the GIF keyboard only contains one GIF that spotlights my favourite of Ghidorah’s* features: the wiggliness of its necks (and it only kind of captures them) (*1964 GHIDORAH, THE THREE-HEADED MONSTER ver.)

Speaking of @canconsffh.bsky.social , last year's starter pack for panelists, vendors and volunteeers was popular, so I made a new one for this year. Please tell me if you're on programming or helping out with Can*Con this year and would like to be added, or if you'd like to be removed.

always reblob

*vibrates* can I finish Gawain book before TriCon. can I make it happen. can I go to one of my favourite cities as a prize AAAHHH I miss the east coast. I was not expecting to be flooded with emotions during a work day morning LMAO

hey Plottr users, if you didn't see their recent email (I didn't until just now), be aware that the company has created an AI tool called StorySnap. do with that info what you will; I've cancelled my Plottr subscription and won't be renewing

get off your high horse

someone hire me to write a Star Trek: Lower Decks novel called NEUTRAL ZONE INFRACTION that riffs on ds9's love of baseball versus the cultural hegemony of American football. no I haven't thought this through beyond the title

new photo time, I'm still wearing pyjamas in this one but they're like, slightly less dilapidated pyjamas

unexpected best stationery purchase of the past year: this Traveler’s Notebook brass clip which makes journalling just a little bit more ergonomic (but that little bit adds up cause I use it every day to hold the pages open/flat)

hey did you know that if you use Word to place images in your document then by default Word will add AI-generated alt text to your images? unhelpful AI b.s. crammed into your document whether you or your readers like it or not! you have to head into Options and disable "Automatic Alt Text"

Diane, I am now upside down

This ENTIRE thread.

Upon rewatch, it’s clear that Zoolander (2001) is about a man who goes on a journey of self discovery after losing his polycule in a freak gasoline fight accident.

canadians! have you signed this petition to get parliament to do something about payment processor overreach? these fuckers shouldn't be allowed to stop you from buying legal content! #CanPoli

Just 16 hours left, but we're close. Meeting and exceeding this goal will help support 19 families in north Gaza who desperately need food, shelter, supplies, and transportation. The situation is increasingly catastrophic. You can help. 3958/4100. chuffed.org/project/hope...

it's that time again, except with dayjob work 😔

I was gonna draw a normal guy and say he was a werewolf during a waning moon but discovered i never finished this doodle of astronauts making out, so I did that instead

time for me to LOG OFF AND WRITE MY BOOK

The far right succeeded in this country in large part because adult men were angry about this supposed theft, and the Nazis learned to channel that rage. "[Marginalized group] stole your sex mommy!" is quite literally their rallying cry a lot of the time.
