“That’s all anybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don’t know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won’t matter if we don’t survive these times.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower
This needs to be taken seriously. Along with underfunding, Doug Ford is destroying the university system. And yes, this latest move is 100% in line with what we've seen happening by state-level MAGA-hats in the US.
when canadian journalists advocate to kill the online news act so meta will stop blocking news links, i feel like they’re operating under the assumption news on facebook still operates as it did several years ago when it very clearly does not
To claim joy in a world that commodifies pain is to declare your refusal to be reduced to your suffering.
"(...) plusieurs élus bloquistes ont ajouté à cette interprétation l’idée selon laquelle le profil de la circonscription a récemment changé, pour devenir plus diversifié."
Oh, pauvre Bloc,😱le nationalisme identitaire résonne moins quand le milieu se diversifie? 😭
NOUVELLE | Un millier de militant·es venu·es du monde entier, dont une vingtaine du Canada, rejoignent la plus grande flottille visant à briser le blocus à Gaza.

"Writing with [insert stylistic quirk] is a giveaway that it's AI."
"You can tell this drawing is AI because [insert stylistic quirk]."
My sweet little children, WE DID THOSE THINGS FIRST. AI didn't invent the Oxford comma or the em dash - we used them correctly, and AI *stole our work*.
Amazon’s anti-human culture put on full display.
“For more than an hour, several employees said, workers in the facility were instructed to continue fetching totes, picking items off shelves and loading them onto trucks for delivery as the man lay dead, and management figured out their next steps.”
a screenshot of the "New Bestsellers" list from Substack, with Andrew Tate in the #1 position
Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.
Objectively one of the worst people to write about this because she’s leaving out how she and other white women let a lot of these assholes slide because their first targets were Black women
She called Milo charming dinner convo
She can go to hell
[coming from a liberal btw]
Don't worry, Zackery. We could tell.
Thread detailing Mark Carney’s war on libraries, knowledge, and culture throughout so many parts of society.
His deep cuts to the public service are not in line with the vision he presents of a bold and more independent Canada.
The violence against trans people is grotesque. Genocidal.
more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out
A new study shows that Black women outpace every other group of women in workforce participation. Yet they are still paid less & retire in poverty at twice the rate of white women. This is a system. It is long past time this country started carrying them the way they have carried us.
'I’ve spent my whole life in a body where consequence is the weather. Where what I do and how I move and what I wear and who I am carries risk […]. They’ve spent their whole lives in the other kind of body. […] We’re in the same city on the same Thursday morning and we’re not in the same world."
The Liberal Party convention is in my coffee shop this morning. A new essay on impunity, the REDress Project, Marilyn Gladu, and what it costs to share a room with people who will never face consequences. #cdnpoli #lib2026
Stay in the know, but remember to practice self care and touch grass and seek laughter and whatnot.
The white flag, aka the official flag of the Confederacy
Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.
66 Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding? A.R. Moxon
I keep coming back to this.
you will never guess what this is a response to
It’s called the Cycle of Abuse or the Walker Wheel: calm followed by rising tension, the explosion of violence, the reconciliation, the incremental intensification of violence over time.
The USA is irredeemable.
From now on, before anyone in the U.S. says anything, other countries should ask: "Do you condemn your fascist regime?"
So many people here expect everyone to first condemn X regime to speak about any injustice. Let's see how it feels when the shoe is on the other foot.
white people, this what happens when you keep doing that white supremacy bullshit.
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”

I don’t have the time, interest, energy or mental capacity for superficial connections like I used to
These are all such limited resources & simply existing requires me to expend so much of them as it is
I cant do new connections that feel like a chore or that leave me depleted. I can’t. I won’t.
Stop laboring to legitimize AAVE to people who don’t see you as a full and equal human.
How you speak isn’t the problem.
"The stated mandate of professional regulatory bodies is the protection of the public. The mechanism for that protection is the control of professional practice. Those two things are presented as the same project.
They are not the same project."
