Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

@brianbilston.bsky.social Hello, you're a properly smashing human. Thankyou for retwooting. Here are some lovely leaves. okbye x

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play go fuckin Huskies Nazi UW students fuck off

Who stands to benefit from the gutting of Canada Post? The billionaire class. If Mark Carney were really serious about nation-building, Dru OJa Jay writes how the post office could become an engine for green energy, public banking, and better services. breachmedia.ca/canada-post-...

ironically, Merriam-Webster defines “waffles” as “failing to make up one’s mind”; for example, refusing to stand up against transphobia and bigotry

I knew the first half of this story— that Gary Larsen’s cartoon joking Dr. Goodall was sleeping with chimpanzees caused her Institute to lawyer up only for her to find the comic super amusing upon her return from the field— but I’d never heard Larsen got attacked by a chimpanzee!

no way i’m falling for this a third time

Y'all. All I'm saying is somebody has consistently "got it" since the election season.

Inking practice

One of the Global Sumud Flotilla boats, the Sirius, released the video that was planned to be released if the Israelis intercepted their boat. This means that it has happened. Israel has started kidnapping participants of the GFS

this is actually extraordinary and a lot of it's been done just by asking people to drive basically any car produced since 2007. almost no cars later than that (and some earlier) comply with ULEZ - it's not forcing everyone into a Tesla, it's incredibly basic improvements

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

I truly cannot express how beautiful this was to witness.

At the age of 13, Jennifer Wood remembers being in a car driving up to the Portage La Prairie Indian Residential School with her suitcase and not comprehending what was going on until her father said he would see her at Christmas. She shares her story on the season premiere of Face to Face.

Phyllis Webstad has become a household name when it comes to answering the TRC's 94 Calls to Action, sharing her orange shirt story through several children’s books. Now, she's co-written a book confronting residential school denialists.

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day – a time to raise awareness for the ongoing impacts of residential school and remember the children who never came home.

1. Both PFBs open today aka National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. As always, all profits from the day's sales benefit a few Indigenous-led organizations close to us: Native Education College; Vancouver Aboriginal Child & Family Services Society; and the Urban Native Youth Association.

Don’t forget this.

I used to be terrified of spiders until I started seeing pictures and videos of these little guys! They’re harmless and also freaking adorable! There’s even ones who little peacock coloured wings. SO CUTE!

just a small clip but it gets the point across:

Talks between the B.C. government and its public service union broke down Monday, the first time the union and province returned to the bargaining table since July.

SCOOP / UPDATE — Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancelations during the period 9/17-9/23, a Disney source confirms to me. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

I hear *someone* is having a sale next week. I guess they have to try and recoup some of that $2.5 billion they’re forking over for *checks notes* being deceptive? Who would’ve thought? Feels like Oct 7 & 8 will be prime days to support independent bookstores. 😌

Again, I must ask, aside from not being a Convoy-supporting transphobe, how is Mark Carney not just 'Pierre Poilievre without the juvenile bluster'?

Y'all I found the wildest stuff in this video. The oldest evidence of trans stuff on Cyprus is from over 9000 years ago. We're not only older than every religion, we're thousands of years older than the very first centralized state in history. We existed before gov't. We will exist after it.

I'm not gonna share the AI "Walmart was cool in 2002" video, so instead as a person who worked at several Walmarts between 1998-2011 I'm gonna share stories of what it was actually like back then. A man with a 32 oz Budweiser in his pocket tried to tickle me several times & we had to call the cops.

A therapist who doesn't respect your pronouns has someone else as a client; they are serving an interest that is not yours and you shouldn't participate.

And this is not the first time Lindsay Shepherd has complained about Orange Shirt Day, this is a long-running irritation for her, linked to residential school denialist beliefs and talking points.

I do not want the video. I will never watch the video. I usually won’t even give the video the effort of complaint. I just want to read the news story. Give me the text. This would be my Ted Talk but that would be text too.

I was disappointed to learn that this headline did not in fact refer to Weird Al Yankovic

I am also amused bc when I saw this video earlier, before the scoring, I said to The Husband 'this looks like some Benny Hill shit'

there aren’t a lot of purely good things on the internet but “you have to share Tom Holland doing Umbrella” is one of them

I updated my interactive corporate incest viewer! ... let me rephrase that. This shows the connections between the DOW30 companies in terms of people who are on the board of more than one of them. It's like a macro org chart. Critical: You can grab the little company balls and bonk them around

Martin Luther King, Jr. famously said that “budgets are moral documents.” The Carney government must continue to support women and minorities in the forthcoming budget. Equality & human rights must not go backwards. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...
