Heartbreaking. RIP Jonathan Joss 💔
Texas police are not considering it a hate crime, even though Jonathan shielded his husband from the bullets shot at them by a man yelling homophobic slurs at them. JFC

Cause BC only matters if it comes down to the wire.
For sure they turf PP and get a new leader - Perhaps they take a moment to contemplate a political culture based on hate (F Trudeau/Carney$ vs a solid and reasonable plan of governance for all Canadians. Jk - but they do oust Pierre tomorrow
It’s been a minute since an episode of SNL was this good!! The White Potus parody, the cold open, the check-to-check-Business-Network plus Lizzo?!?! 💯
Found a German compound word that explains my mood - Frühjahrsmüdigkeit (froo-yahrz-moodish-kite) = Spring time fatigue.

Given his views I really thought he was walking out in support of the Americans. He certainly gave a more enthusiastic thumbs up to their bench on the way out.
And most of all, if you know someone being attacked, targeted because because of who they are, or told they don't belong, STOP. Tell them they belong here. Tell them they are loved.
If you are lost or confused or overwhelmed, REST. Then get up and get back at it. Even if you can only say, "This is wrong. I don't support this." Say it quietly to people. Start conversations.
If you are not in a position to fight back, contact 3 people you see fighting & say, I see you. Thank you. Keep going.
If you are in a position to fight back, fight back.
Pass it on.
Newsweek is really garbage now. Not worried until I hear about it from a credible source
We did but I’m bummed that I don’t know where to go for breaking updates now that Xitter is busted
I’m so mad right now that FelonM wrecked Xitter. There’s been an earthquake in Vancouver BC and the only news about it so far is the weather apps.
Easy flow chart of the day « Does it need to be political ?»
Are you a billionaire?

Found an app that scans barcodes to let you know if a product is Canadian*
Giving more of my purchasing power to domestic goods and services feels good and helps keep us the true north strong and free!
Ya you are!!!! Well deserved! Congrats, Jen for shining the light into dark corners and doing what we NEED journalism to do 👏👏👏😍
I whooped out loud when I saw @jenstden.bsky.social in the list! Congratulations, Jen!! And thank you Tyee for strong Western Canadian investigative journalism ♥️
It's Blue Sky. To me, that speaks of expansive vistas, optimism, and wise hope. So many posts lately are angry and complainey in nature. **WE GET IT** but is that what we want to see on our feeds?
I'd rather see posts about art, activism, and ways we can raise each other up. Who's with me?
May ask to borrow 😇
Hi! I read the broken earth trilogy but will queue up The City We Became. Thanks for the reminder and recommendation
I’m reading Louise Erdrich’s The Mighty Red
The news about Neil Gaiman….gah. I needed to do something to purge and cleanse. I read that he lifted ideas from author Tanitha Lee so I am buying and reading her stuff. First up, Biting the Sun. Any recommendations of what to read next?
Nice “pass” Matt 🤣🤣🤣
I miss the days of being able to trust newslinks to give you the facts wrapped in just a lil bit of bias
Yes please!!!!
Great thread! Thank you - I learn so much about Canadian history from you 😍
The main thing keeping my head above water these days is @fter midnight
