Or you could, you know, regulate the grocery chains that are making record breaking profits while price gouging us for the food we need to survive. 🤷‍♀️

"I should be upfront." Proceeds to admit to bullshitting only when directly and specifically confronted about it.

Amnesty International concerned Canada 'rolling back' support for Indigenous rights | CBC News Amnesty International is concerned Canada is backsliding on Indigenous rights under Prime Minister Mark Carney. The organization warns in its annual global human rights report that new laws passed las...

These reports should always include a reminder that Mark Carney's father was first a principal, later a regional administrator, for Canada's residential schools.

PM Carney sat with his father every breakfast and supper.

What values do people think that his father imparted on the current PM?

Boycott Xbox. Don't buy any new Xbox games.

text that reads: If you have to cover Xbox-published games, always do so with context about Microsoft’s activities and the ongoing boycott. Just because you may be in a position where you have to cover these games, it doesn’t mean you can’t make people aware of the boycott against Microsoft called for by BDS. Be constructive and thoughtful in your criticism, and help people understand that by purchasing an Xbox-published game, or by subscribing to Game Pass, they are supporting a company that is complicit in the genocide against the Palestinian people.

I just think about this advice from @nogamesforgenocide.com quite a bit... for no reason in particular

Sorry not posting/replying much bc I'm really struggling with my health atm. Been having a lot of worse symptoms, meltdowns from overheating, crashing hard, allergy symptoms, chronic thirst, etc. Been so overwhelmed, weak, dizzy, unwell. I hate how sensitive my body is to heat. Warming climate = 😭

COVlD cases need to fall "well below 10,000" per day for the country to achieve some semblance of pre-pandemic life.

-Dr. Anthony Fauci

The lower life expectancy for Indigenous people isn't by accident, it's how the system was designed. Politicians who underfund healthcare, and hospitals with a culture of neglecting Indigenous patients are part of canada's genocide; perpetrators in the MMIWG2S crisis.

“Cultural genocide” is genocide.

i really wish "children are people and people are not property" was not a radical opinion but unfortunately it's the central question up for debate with much of politics

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

oh is it time to post The Graph again? can't believe it's already been a year, time flies

it was extremely radicalizing to hear of school admins banning air purifiers in classrooms during covid waves. In BC there was even an incident where they had the windows nailed shut. I will never get over this

Once again @susanholtnb.bsky.social I am asking, for HEPA machines in every New Brunswick classroom. Children do not have a voice or a choice. It is up to us to speak for them and the research is clear. Our kids are currently at risk. Please make evidence based decisions!

Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’ Lebanese health ministry says killing of 91 healthcare workers shows ‘total disregard’ for international law

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun.

And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene.

And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics.

And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

Looking down at a heron wading in low tide. A grey/blue bird with orange beak, dark stripe on its head, long legs (which you can’t see under its body from this angle). In the foreground on the right is a big of cement railing along the Seawall. The bird is standing in low tide and the clouds in the sky above are reflecting on the water making it look patchy.
