A red heeler dog rests on a yellow yoga mat. The dog looks away from the camera. There is a blue armchair in the background, a wooden table on the other side of the yoga mat with a stack of books piled up.
Yoga dog.

everyone who has been shocked that i had never watched mad max because apparently it seemed like a movie i'd be into was right...it is SO good!
We may or may not be "safe" in our present situation. That's reality. What we can always do, though, is be safe w/ ourselves. That means no attacking, no shaming, & no punishing ourselves. Not even when it feels "natural," "right," or "deserved."

"If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more."

Please, join us in boycotting israel. Do it for Palestine. Do it for humanity. And also do it because capitalism and imperialism suck! And also, support Ethical Consumer.
Do you feel overwhelmed by the amount of information that's out there? Do you feel uncertain what to believe, what to think is fake, and what's a rumor?
I just joined the global call to #DrawTheLine — for peace, climate justice, and a world beyond fossil fuels. I'll be taking action in PETERBOROUGH on Sept. 20, 2025. Will you join me? drawtheline.world?event_id=263...
One thing that kinda blows my mind:
I spoke to national French-language media all morning about this. I did three separate interviews before 10am.
I was interviewed for the U.S. publication WIRED about it.
But English-language Canadian media? Crickets.
It’s just so odd!
I’m flabbergasted. Can anyone else tell me what changed?🤔
I wrote a detailed essay on what media and politicians would say if they treated white extremists the way they treat Black, brown, Muslim, trans, and immigrants.

Told a resident, "I'm sick of this place. Should I leave?" She said no. I asked why not. She said, "because we love you." I said, "aw, I love you, too." This same resident spits on and hits people😂
Handwritten text on a notecard: My husbands ashes; I made me feel alone scared, empty, now I wonder where he is and if he's all still in his urn and if hes ok and I hope he's not in the dump
We asked people who experienced "sweeps" of homeless encampments to write about it in their own words.
In Portland, Teresa Stratton told us about how her husband’s ashes were taken in a removal:
