A powerful piece from Rachel Notley on the UCP’s plans to rig the map for our next election.

“It has to stop here. If we allow politicians to rig elections, then we will be giving them carte blanche to do anything they want.

No politician should ever hold that power.” 1/2 #abpoli

superfluous superflu

The Province Says Fort Chipewyan’s Children Are Healthy. Come Meet Them. Alberta withheld the data. Then used its absence as proof there was no crisis. The families living inside that crisis are speaking out- for the first time, publicly.

Every Canadian needs to read and understand this. And then help the beautiful people of Fort Chipewyan.

Another disgraceful decision made by current U of A leadership. They will move on, but alumni, Edmontonians and Albertans have to live with these bad choices forever. Enough destruction of our heritage and history.

A graphic that reads: Source request: What does it look like when we let trans people thrive? When public systems support trans people? When health care is free and accessible, and spaces are affirming? What are the solutions for making trans lives better? What could trans utopia look like? I am looking for specific stories of trans people from all walks of life across Canada who’ve been given space to not only survive, but thrive. People who are interested in speaking about how certain policies, systems, or resources have made their lives easier and better as trans people. Is this you or someone you know? Pop me an email at: mel.woods@xtramagazine.com

I'm working on a large print feature for later this year that asks a big question:

What does it look like when we let trans people thrive?

I'm looking to talk to a few everyday trans people from across Canada about what that idea means to them.

(Thread...)

In this panel drawn by Jack Kirby, a desperate looking man shouts "I...need a marijuana! I gotta have a reefer!" Three men are standing around him and one says "Talk first! Start talking!"

Thinking about the number of Black and brown ppl in prison for possession while other (yt) ppl get to turn a potential crime into a legitimate business

I’ve been off the marvel train for a while but I have kept up with a handful of shows and movies (most of them mediocre)

“we didn’t really plan any of this out and also don’t bother watching any of the movies or shows that canonically take place between these”

Edmonton folks! I’m looking to interview a first-time buyer for a story i’m writing.

If this is you or someone you know, send me a DM for further details.

Thanks in advance!

Nehiyawedew Nêhiyawêdêw (Cree Stardew Valley) adds 21 Indigenous plants of the prairies, Canada/US, to Stardew Valley. Each plant is given its name in nehiyawewin (Cree, Y-dialect), becomes forage-able accordi

I just completed the Stardew Valley Mod!! It adds 21 plants (30 sprites) from the prairies and gives a little info about them or their names in Cree! Here's the link, check it out! www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalle...

I'm starting to get the sense that referendums in Alberta are performative exercises instead of ways to resolve policy disputes.

On a similar note, a politician as self- interested, destructive & undemocratic as Danielle Smith makes a clear case for having earned their way out of the Premier’s office. #abpoli

Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices

people get hella mad when you say adult drivers should be more responsible than children on our streets.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

ME: i’m so sick and tired of being set upon by the baron’s hounds
HER: Maybe stop hopping the fence into his estate?
ME: sympathy not solutions plz
HER: I’m so sorry, that sounds very painful. I know you’re trying really hard to get The Baron’s priceless egg.
ME: it should be *my* egg :(

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Shot from ground level, a round ceiling mural that echoed Metis embroidery. On a black background, we see a wild rose in tjr centre, surrounded by flowers, berries, birds and butterflies.

The mural in context - on the ceiling, surrounded by lights and blond wood ceiling tiles. It hangs above the soaring atrium of the University Commons

I was on the @ualberta.bsky.social campus today for the unveiling of this remarkable art installation by Metis painter Christi Belcourt. It’s called In My Grandmother’s Time, and it blends traditional motifs from Metis beading and embroidery with digital technology. And it’s gorgeous. #ualberta #yeg
