"The war on Iran has four possible outcomes." What do you think? Are these four outcomes plausible? Is there any other plausible outcome ? What do you think is going to happen? Are YOU protesting? Are YOU contacting your reps? #Iran #USPoli #Trump #WorldPoli open.substack.com/pub/qasimras...

Love to Glasgow tonight ❤️ please dig out some decent ffp2 masks if you're going to be in the centre for the next week (if you're not already masking). That amount of smoke will be causing breathing problems in healthy people, as well as babies, older people and those with respiratory conditions.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Condemn Carney’s musings about dispatching troops to Iran. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/cond... #CdnPoli #Canadian #Canada #IranWar #PMMK #CanadianPolitics

I wish every woman and AFAB person had the safety and self-assurance to stand up for themselves like this. Direct and calm, holding men and the systems of the patriarchy to account.

And this is why I am supporting the NDP because I have actual principles.

His ego and greed can't abide the competition.

Suicide is not the answer!! I promise you if you think no one would care if you are gone that’s not true. In Canada you can call 988 for immediate support. ❤️

Auston Matthews cannot support a President who wants to annex Canada 🇨🇦 and captain a Canadian team. What the fuck are the Leafs doing?

I'm hearing chatter that the Mexican government may open an inquiry into hostile troll farms. Canada and the EU need to get on this, too. It's mostly just unverified noise right now, but the idea is solid. trolls suck

Hey @senators.bsky.social nice Captain you have there standing with the guy who threatens to annex Canada 🇨🇦.

I did the thing! I emailed, cold, the author of a book I liked to tell them it was good, and to say thanks. Know what? That's a good idea. You were all correct. Everyone should do that.

My 70 year old dad, whose favorite band is The Righteous Brothers, just informed me that he enjoyed the Bad Bunny show bc even though he didn’t understand the words, “it seemed like everyone on stage was having a good time!” So there ya go lol.

Large mobs of camels are wreaking havoc in remote Indigenous communities as they desperately search for water. #rural #remote #communities #droughts #water #pests

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

This was the 2nd YA book I finished yesterday, and I loved it! I read the physical book while listening to the audiobook. Each version offered something unique, and experiencing both at the same time was the best of both worlds! Highly recommended the book and the method! #BookSky #WhatI'mReading

Finished this yesterday. It was alright, but I'm not the target audience. It's a YA book and probably would be well received by younger to mid-teen girls. I'd have no problem recommending it to that group. #BookSky #WhatI'mReading #LGBTQBooks app.thestorygraph.com/books/8af10b...

This is apparently on the wall at Team Canada’s workout room. Big fan of this. (Alt text for easier reading.)

This story is wild 🤯 #Ontario 9 Toronto police officers facing charges related to tow-truck violence: sources The officers are accused of trafficking, leaking addresses to hitmen, and leaking police officer addresses, the sources said. /1 thread www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It's worth a shot. Canada can shut down a good chunk of it. We can give it a try. 🤷

The Serviceberry, Robin Wall Kimmerer & John Burgoyne (illustrator) It's been on my TBR & I thought now was good. One of those real insightful reads that fills me with hope & re-energizes me. "I’ve long believed that the ones who have more joy win." #booksky

"When you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount." (Lakota proverb) This system is dead.

Erin's cast iron pans rattling from her pack as she walks with her claptrap band of rescuers into the ruins while Ryoka still doesn't quite know what to make of her - or the frying pans - is hilarious. I might be developing a Wandering Inn addiction. #BookSky #WhatI'mReading #WanderingInn

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Albertans are proud Canadians. Separatism doesn’t reduce cost of living. Separatism doesn’t build hospital beds. Separatism doesn’t hire teachers. Separatism scares away investment, costs us jobs & puts us in a weak position. Alberta New Democrats are firmly on Team Canada.

Hey hey, Virginia #booksky!

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

So Poilievre is running in another riding. Whatever riding people, do what the proud Canadian citizens of Carleton riding did. Boot his fascist Maple MAGA ass to the curb. Carleton wasn’t such a SAFE riding either. #cdnpoli

Could I have finished a book I was already reading? Sure. But then I couldn't be reading The Wandering Inn, Vol. II, which is clearly the better option. #BookSky #WhatI'mReading Read along here(ish)*: wanderinginn.com/2017/03/22/2... (*I suggest you start at the beginning, not at ch. 4, Vol. II)

It's been said before, but it's relevant here; The cruelty is the point. This is unconscionable. Fuck Bezos and everyone like him. #WAPO

Focusing on this book today, Illuminae (it's a good one). My goal is to hit the halfway mark by this evening. Then, do I continue with another current read (atm I have 6 books on the go), or... do I start a new book and dive into Vol. II of The Wandering Inn tonight? #BookSky #WhatI'mReading

My 2nd read of February: The Wandering Inn, Vol. I I'll definitely be getting Vol. II ~ I cannot resist a cliffhanger. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was a bit slow to start and there were a couple chapters I had to push myself through, but overall, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! #BookSky #WhatI'mReading

This was already clear this time last year. Before that even. MSM journalists and reporters do not have the best interests of the people at heart. It's all about that paycheque, baby.

A Cdn friend of mine posted on FB excited for their brown haired, brown eyed, Indigenous-looking teen to go to LA soon for a sports tournament. And everyone is sending congratulations on the child's achievement and excitement about the trip. No one is worried about ICE or political tensions. WTAF?

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals. When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

I've heard from people in other cities "I'd like to see them try that in __!" No. No, you wouldn't. We have guns pointed in our faces in MN. I think you'd change your tune if this was happening to you, your family & your neighbors. Nobody knows EXACTLY how to do this. This is NEW to all of US.

Couldn't find my copy of the first anthology my work appeared in, and had a hard time finding even an image of the cover online. Tracked one down in the McGill rare books collection (!), and then days later saw a copy in the home of someone I know in a very tiny NS community. She gave it to me.

And it was nice. While it lasted. I've already filled the space with a collection of used books given to me from someone else's clear-out! Shelves are restacked, and there's a bag of books on the floor in front of the shelf. This is a one step forward, two steps back problem I'll take! #BookSky

Today, I proudly got rid of all the paperbacks I've read, and a bunch of books I know I won't bother reading, to make some space and focus on reading what I already have, thinking how nice it will be to clear out the book clutter. #BookSky
