The button on Facebook to report hate speech and other types of harassment, discrimination and bullying is completely useless. Every time I report something (and I'm not doing this lightly or often), it returns with "doesn't violate community standards"... maybe we need a higher community standard?

We are coming to Amherst next weekend! Join us for a free concert to celebrate the Cumberland African Nova Scotian Association!

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

Fire is firing... Happy Thanksgiving weekend, everyone!

Well deserved!

Good morning ❤️

Car on fire on the MacKay Bridge

Bad Bunny responds to his Super Bowl critics in Spanish, and then English: “And, if you didn’t understand know what I just said, you have four months to learn!”

And *That's* the kind of shit I mean by "intersectional, multi-front coalition."

In 1977, Disabled activists occupied the Federal Building in San Francisco to demand the passage of Section 504— legislation to protect against disability discrimination.When the building was cordoned off, in an effort to starve activists out, The Black Panthers *Broke In* to deliver them hot meals.

Eight days and out: Fall sitting of Nova Scotia legislature one of the shortest on record

A million times this!

His work was and is so important. Rest in peace

Rest in peace, Jane Goodall. You taught us that kindness is a form of strength and that respect for life in all its forms is the truest measure of humanity. You will be dearly missed.

Oh, man. Rest in peace, Jane Goodall. Your legacy is immeasurable. 🐒🦍🦧

This is on point

New mission statement for the US military: "you kill people and break things for a living" (Hegseth). God help us all...

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

Well, it's a drought in Nova Scotia, but our apple tree didn't get the memo... Never seen that many apples on one tree... If anyone would like crab apples, please come by and get some!

Advice on how to live your life

First bonfire in months ❤️ #Halisky

It has finally happened! Just got officially promoted to Full Professor! ❤️

Where are these men? As of the end of August, two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July can't be found. They were removed from federal tracking. The gulag shut down and the men vanished. Why isn't Congress demanding answers?

#HaliSky, this is the website for the settlement if the class action about the bread prize fixing... You can submit a claim and get about $25 out of it... The claim is easy to make canadianbreadsettlement.ca?fbclid=IwZXh...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. I’m autistic because that’s how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.

You want to live in a world where Bill Maher and Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and Matt Parker and Trey Stone are inside the line that must be protected at all costs... but Black journalists and academics and professionals are outside of the castle walls, and are acceptable losses in a siege.

Look what the kids dragged in... the first bad cold of the season... that didn't take long, no voice and a runny nose... glad I have my PhD student who will take over my classes today for a bit, so that I don't have to cancel the entire day 💜

A statement of fact for Tuesday, Sept 23, 2025. There is absolutely no link between Tylenol and Autism; however, there is an absolute link between Trump and Epstein. ✊💙

Oh, fuck right off with this nonsense... www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

I expect extra tariffs on the Netherlands any time now ...

Thank goodness other countries still have employed comedians. This was BRILLIANT 😂🤣😂 Also: F*ck you, Disney.

Again, ZERO evidence to support. More barriers built on more lies. Dark Age 2.0. Vaccine panel advances more restrictive approach to covid shots wapo.st/4gsNhBK PS, A few Canadian provinces have embraced the MAGA vaccine noise. Sigh.

Dutch late night TV has its take

Canadians are outraged . . . Poilievre told CBC he’s scared for his family’s safety. His wife Anaida Poilievre had just reposted Andrew Sheer’s post that had put a target on Rachel Gilmore's back. Why didn't #CBC ask him about relentless threats to Gilmore? www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

Personally (and from what I hear from others), this boycott is not only due to the tariffs, but far beyond, opposing those godawful politics on immigration, freedom of speech, white supremacy etc that drives this turn away www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Give yourself a favour and watch this, laugh (or cry)... youtu.be/_GXNJ3V9lzg?...

My local antifa chapter was also my gardening club and I’m really gonna miss those crazy bitches

My local Antifa chapter decided to disband after President Trump declared us a terrorist organization. Now I have nothing to do Wednesday evenings

Brazilians don't fuck around. They have seen what happens when you let authoritarians get away with shit. Bolsonaro got what he deserves.

Day 1 of my Inclusive Practices course @msvuhalifax.bsky.social accomplished. Great to meet the students, good energy, but exhausted... Need to rebuild some stamina after sabbatical!
