It is weird! Especially not following up with a reschedule. I would not feel good if this happened to me! I’m sorry that they were careless.

Ah what a loss 💔
Much love for Filipinx comrades and community impacted by horrific violence during Lapu-Lapu Day celebrations.
For ppl seeking support such as meal train or counseling, you can access resources thru Filipinx-led mutual aid network coming together.

Reverting to "Reconciliation" dialogues won't help either. What we face, collectively, is far bigger than that. We have to address the rot at the core of your nationalism itself, and getting mad that Indigenous people don't see much difference between Canadian or American colonizers won't help you.
It almost is starting to feel cliche to say we have all the tools but LITCHRALLY, we have the tools. And it doesn’t have to scale or be The One Thing we all do, we just have to all do the stuff we can do which is truly everything 💧
Sweet raven kinship ringtone moment yesterday. Interconnectedness everywhere!
Palestine forever and ever and ever and ever ❤️🔥
That’s right! I think that’s how I came across you on IG, haha. Excited to share more! 🌿🥕
I love this and would love to hear what you all are readying, thinking, and weaving! We’re in so-called Canada and just starting up, it would be sweet to find ways to share at some point! Helen is a bud of mine!
Ooh looks like a good one to recommend to our backyard food growers co-op!
Long live the passage of folk knowledge and folklore as a response to the world around us by regular everyday folk who lived in cities figuring out biscuits on rations to later make for their allergy ridden great granddaughter who then makes them as a broke apartment dweller in 2025.
Yes same love to yap. I appreciate you getting the ball rolling because even after this many years of social media use I was feeling a bit stumped! There are so many chit chat options to choose from!
As a kid growing up not able to eat dairy/eggs in the 80s, it was my great grandparents who seemed to have no issue baking basically vegan treats for me & felt really special. It wasn’t until I got older that I realized it was likely due to depression/ration era knowledge. I still make these today!
Ready to chit chat!
You’re so welcome! I read it at about 1am while in the waiting room of the emergency vet with my dog (she’s okay) while watching an aquarium full of hermit crabs so let me say it was surreal and a perfect balm for the moment lol
Also the piece @vickyacab.bsky.social wrote on the Gladiator movies made me laugh and nod sagely so much, there are all sorts there to read!
@joyfulcarla.bsky.social maybe CAW could mean Craft Another World? Calling All (world) Weavers? Carry A lot of Wonder? Cailleach sthg sthg 🧙🏻♀️
These writers have had such a beautiful impact on the way I think about and see the world, and I love the opportunity to do this along side them while supporting their material conditions! Definitely follow at the very least but also maybe pop a bit of $$ in their fundraiser, too 🖤🐦⬛
Basically CP is trying to push more gig work style conditions with more staff on lower wages, no benefits/vacation, no confirmed schedule, etc. Which is a bad precedent to set and is being opposed by both casuals and permanent workers.
There is a disagreement over how the weekend shifts would be staffed, but they’re not opposed to it. CP wants to bring in 8hr a week casuals on a lower wage to cover sat delivery whereas the workers argue it can be staffed with regular permanent staff/making casuals permanent.
When I learned that the understanding of Christianity that took hold/what we have now was the one that was popular amongst the Roman military, so many things fell into place. Especially how more communal, gender equitable, radical etc expressions of the faith seemed to have gotten lost.
All I can say is that I genuinely hope you get the solidarity you’ve not been able to show others when inevitably you’re in the same boat. Good luck.
I mean, again this shows you haven’t read or understood the strike demands but whatever. All I can say is that I genuinely hope you get the solidarity you’ve not been able to show others when inevitably you’re in the same boat. Good luck.
The fact that other workers have it worse so don’t ask for more is not an argument I can accept as a worker. I want CUPW to win so we *all* win. If CP can fuck the pension and dismantle permanent employment then that is what is coming for the rest of us.
This is why they are striking. CP wants to bring in lower paid casuals, effectively gig work, to break the gains workers have made which will ripple out to other sectors and workers. In the same way that automation concerns that ILWU has is a concern for other workers.
This makes me think you may not be aware of the demands? The fact is many Canada post employees don’t have it better than most because the corporation is keeping more and more people casual so that they don’t get the same rate of pay, access to benefits, vacation, a reliable schedule, etc.
Or turning down a contract from Amazon while at the same time complaining they can’t compete. It feels strange to me that you would say you are pro-union when you have used your time on this app to almost exclusively attack striking workers that are supported by many other sector unions.
It has changed, sure. However this has not stopped management from holding back or slowing down mail during route assessments, or not filling empty inside work positions to the point of other workers injuring themselves in attempt to keep up.
