I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
Being part of building a community land trust is one of the best parts of my job, and I'm such a fan of everyone doing this hard work in Vancouver.

This is obscene. Our public dollars should not be spent on private schools.
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
One of FIFA’s demands has been to ensure that the cities that signed on to host would agree to a large local and sporting event blackout clause.
This FIFA agreement is one of the worst deals for Canadian residents and tax-payers and will haunt the Canadian cities that agreed to host for decades.

Rogan mentions cannabis being legal in Canada. Poilievre replies, “been legal for 10 years, yeah.”
Rogan applauds Canada for voting to legalize marijuana. He says it's about "personal freedom." Poilievre agrees it’s about personal choice.
(Poilievre voted against cannabis legalization lol)

Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted.

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit
Children. There were children inside.
When the BC Conservatives voted for a bill to repeal the human rights code, the NDP caucus promptly put out a press release slamming the Cons who "couldn’t muster the courage to stand against it."
Today, 0 NDP MLAs mustered the courage to vote against a bill to close all BC's safe consumption sites
My first kiddo spent three years going to daycare in Surrey/Langley because it was easier to get him a spot closer to my husband's job then to find a spot literally anywhere in Vancouver. He spent two hours a day sitting in the car.
A little story about the state of childcare in our city because I’m bitter we once again did not get a spot 🥲
We need more community land trusts everywhere!

As stress and tension rises locally, nationally and internationally, be gentle with yourself and others. Connect before you correct. Be curious about folk before you’re critical of others. Seek to understand before being understood. Make good trouble. Spread some joy. One love.❤️✊🏾

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..
Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.
