Call me crazy but I don't love the new reality of Canada essentially being run by the Conservative Lite™ Party with only the Conservative Normal™ Party to fecklessly scream at them for the next three years! It's not, I think, ideal!
Gas tax breaks are bandaids at best. Real solution is to help low & middle-income Cdns get off fossil fuels. Invest in solar, heat pumps, batteries, EVs. Tackle barriers, offer real incentives & fund w/ windfall tax on Big Oil (who are laughing all the way to the bank). Cleaner, cheaper, healthier.
Or Johnny Canuck!
This is tragically beautiful.
This is proof that sometimes you never know how good things can get, and even then, they can sometimes get even better. 13/10 for all (TT: matiastapia2409)
Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.
I wonder about the epstein connection vis a vis our government's alignment to trump. I wonder why Canada is one of the only countries not to open an investigation.
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
It isn't all. But it's still a big help.
I found the year’s first Pipevine swallowtail!!
Sometimes hope is found in something as small as a butterfly.
When everything feels heavy, I walk along the creek near home. The sound of water over rocks, sighting fresh blooms, the call of birds, remind me that the world still hums with quiet life.
A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

Then there's that time that CBC had a little fun and re-cut Schitt's Creek as if it was a horror, for this fun trailer:
"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..."
Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis.
Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.
Canadians, sign this petition to demand Canadian media actually BE Canadian media.
Postmedia owns 80% of Canada’s newspapers and they’re owned by a New Jersey hedge fund with ties to Trump.
It’s a threat to national security. Sign this petition. SHARE IT.

It’s still not too late to wear a mask!
Covid and flu are raging. People are traveling for the holidays & getting sick in the process.
A well fitted respirator like an N95 protects you and those around you.
It’s an investment in your health plus it shows solidarity with the disability community.

This Steve.
Respectfully Jon Stewart, you were wrong on the @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social to mock people who mask. ICYMI: there are tens of millions of Americans who have been disabled by #LongCOVID and must do everything in their power to prevent further infections that make them vulnerable to further

In 2026 let’s normalize masking for public health.
If we could admit that with healthcare being gutted, vaccine access restricted and previously eradicated diseases coming back… having an extra layer like a respirator makes good sense.
Let’s also normalize not mocking people who mask!
@brandyandmattH - Can we please stop viewing social media usage as a gauge of personal character For some disabled people, it's the only world they have access to and many neurodivergent people prefer online friends to in- person social interactions due to sensory overload or anxiety. @the.chronic.couple
Flu and Covid are both surging.
If you want to stay healthy for the holidays, wear a mask! Ideally a well fitted respirator like an N95.
A layered approach works best.
Get your boosters (if you can!), mask up, clean and ventilate the air and stay home when sick.
Masking is community care.
There’s nothing wrong with healthy eating, exercise, sunlight & stress reduction.
They’re great ways to improve health.
The problem is the “wellness” community.
It’s always been a direct pipeline into eugenics.
They believe you can “healthy living” your way out of disability, and it’s not true

Disabled people deserve healthcare.
Disabled people deserve housing.
Disabled people deserve food.
Disabled people deserve support.
Our ability to work and produce should not determine our value.
Disability is not a moral failing. Most people will experience it someday.
Hey all,

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

Blooming roses make me smile.
