I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Condemn Israel’s genocide in Lebanon. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/cond... This constant war of aggression must be stopped.

That bit brought me so much comfort in 2016 😭
What's a huge walk guest suite 😳
Today, I'll be the queer menace conservatives warned would happen

Mass shootings are state sponsored terrorism. Great poetry makes you draw new conclusions.
If you're lucky enough to be able bodied, remember this is a temporary state - life disables us all

You know, what with the current situation, it would be neat if there was a book about how people leverage martyrdom for political gain. As it happens, I wrote a book just like that.

This! Had a motorcyclist try to hit my gf and I in a crosswalk earlier this year and then he yelled at us when we tried to tell him we were crossing legally.
A person stands in front of a small outdoor library filled with books, with the sun setting in the background. Text on the image reads 'Neighbourhood Placemaking: Building neighbourhood connections through neighbour-led projects.' The image features the Halifax Parks & Recreation logo.
The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that applications have opened for Neighbourhood Placemaking. The application period will remain open until Thursday, Oct. 30. Details: www.halifax.ca/home/news/ap...
Makes sense! Thank you!
Wait, why wouldnt we take the plastic out of the envelope and recycle the paper???
@hfxgov.bsky.social Question - Industry and businesses use more water than households. Before an individual conservation order is in place, we should have mandatory work-from-home orders and inspections of businesses. I can't if-yellow-let-mellow at work! I've been conserving at home since June :/
This killed me 🤣😅😭🤣
Thank you!
I'll have to figure out how to find out about these earlier, the sign up to speak closed yesterday :(
He asked, and the "international affairs" crowd was much larger. Then he fled from the will of the room. I didn't even see him leaving 'til he was halfway out the lil side door 😂
Commitment the likes of which I've never had, omg
Please retract the funding for the Davis Cup. Halifax doesn't support genocide or athletes from countries actively committing war crimes.
"The municipality is in the process of installing signage at impacted park spaces." Pray no sparks fly :p
a photo of a lake with sand on the close shore and evergreens on the far shore, all bathed in sunlight. The water is rippled. The sky is blue with white clouds being blown to the horizon. A person's shadow comes from the right and there's a couple forgotten objects in the sand. A poem is written over the left top of the photo, mostly clouds. The poem in the image: A checkerboard of white and blue, and the sometimes gusting wind— this early summer's day by the lake, picturesque and chill, was warmed by friends, new and old, with far more tea to spill.
A #poem to capture a lovely day with friends. It felt good to write from joy instead of pain or rage.
I'm thankful I'm allowed to sit on the shore and swim as I please. #Palestinians in #Gaza are often murdered for this.

Hey #halisky a keffiyeh stands for the liberation of Palestinians. A swastika (now) stands for Jewish hate. Hope this helps the random person who told me wearing the keffiyeh was basically the same as wearing a swastika. I do not hate Jewish people. I do hate Zionists.
I don't understand how she can quote Anne Frank and support genocide. Sorry there aren't any attics left for children to hide in and write journals?? Thank you for clarifying, I hadn't seen this speaker before that I was aware of.
I thought this speech was pro Palestine, but the comments are making me think, no. What context is this?
As a Canadian living on stolen land in Mi'kma'ki, traditional and current home of the Mikmaw people, I've lived with this kernel of, 'how can I say anything about Israel-Palestine when I'm a colonizer, too?' but *part* of #Reconciliation is doing everything we can to stop Israel's genocide #cdnpoli
We need well sign posted detours for cars, too, and the organizers need to understand that people work inside the circlular route(s). Last year, they screamed at and insulted me because I needed to get a friend to work and didn't know the event was happening.
I'm slowly but surely working my way through @simkern.bsky.social's book 'Genocide Bad' and just learned about Israel's 'Hannibal Directive'. I'm floored. What chance do Palestinians have of self determination under a government that plans to shoot it's own citizens. #freepalestine #freeisrael
I will look into ICRC and MSF. Thank you for the tips. At this point though, ICRC and MSF are at the mercy of the aid blockade and are being murdered. Hence why countries like Canada need to intervene with force.
Literally anything more than we're doing now. We sent troops into Nazi occupied Germany. We need to send a peacekeeping force into Gaza and liberate the aid trucks / ships.
Your daily reminder that, our government is silently allowing 1 million children to die. Their stomachs are currently eating themselves. Minor wounds are death sentences by malnutrition. If we want to stop this, we must deploy NOW. #cdnpoli #freepalestine #gaza
