(shout out to all the wonderful children's programmers and storytellers that I've met in my career - y'all are doing the most important, foundational work!)
How various factors (psychological and strategic) converge to make these crackdowns on education more likely in authoritarian settings:

Watched this very interesting video essay today by @pagemelt.bsky.social while doing a bit of crafting. The whole thing is a compelling deconstruction of whether the internet is bad for us or not, but here's a clip near then end of it that was an excellent takeaway: youtube.com/clip/UgkxJQp...
Bulldozing over regulations that protect health / the environment and bypassing community consultation, that is not "nation building".
Don't just be relieved that you are not in the USA... please pay attention to what is going on in our own federal politics.

Hope my Ontario peeps are contacting their Ontario reps about bill 5. We should be furious! (Though, honestly, we shouldn't be surprised -- since Ontario is now "open for business" rather than "yours to discover".) #ontariopolitics #ONpoli #bill5

Super shitty that the Conservatives have a long-running pattern of ousting leaders who lose, but they're bending over backwards to keep Poilievre, the most overtly right-wing and hateful bigot they've had at the helm in a long while. This really doesn't bode well for Canada, folks.
🚨 #Bill5 will grant the govt sweeping powers to override municipal bylaws & environmental protections.
This is an anti-democratic POWER GRAB.
Tell Doug Ford: ONTARIO IS NOT FOR SALE.

In the rush to have a worthwhile discussion if Gen AI is reclaimable for leftists, people miss one of its biggest dangers to art—homogenization. It cranks out status quo narratives, reinforcing hegemonic ideals as it flattens expression. The danger isn’t JUST workforce automation—it’s normalization.
No Mow May is just the start. We need to rewild green spaces >> act.gp/3RZ7KCP

If you want your city to solve the homeless problem, but you don't support any of the budgets or programs to provide shelter and support for the homeless, what you're actually advocating is genocide.
Keep that in mind when you speak out.
My brother was unable to go downtown to get his bus pass at the one place that issued them cheaper (for disability reasons). It was not a safe place to be if you were not white-passing enough. He lost job opportunities because of it.
This was very last minute, hence the late post, but I wanted to share some thoughts before the election. Which is tomorrow. Frick.
Reposts are always appreciated, especially if you know someone it might help.

Today is election day. If you have not voted yet, go out and vote, no matter who you support.
In our first election in 1867, only about 11% of adults could vote due to property, gender and race restrictions.
Now nearly every adult can vote.
So go out and do it!
a reminder that "death of the author" is not a balm to assuage your guilt for engaging w/ media made by hateful people
it's a media theory that ignores author intent, preferring reader interpretation
so sure "miku" wrote it, but you still gave a bigot your money and they're using it to harm folks
Also for the record, i am originally Franco-Ontarian. (We historically have good reasons to be suspicious of Conservative governments.)

"Jouer des coudes" i guess? I'm not a hockey person and i don't know if this is as much of a thing in French speaking Canada
Plus de production de pétrole au Canada? Au débat :
Conservateur: oui
Libéral: oui
NPD: non
Bloc: non?
Vert (on ne leur a pas demandé mais on s'en doute bien que non)
Leurs autres propos sur l'environnement ne peuvent être pris au sérieux si ils continuent avec les pipelines

Le parti @canadiangreens.bsky.social n'est pas représentés dans le débat ce soir. Est-ce qu'on aura une autre occasion d'entendre les propositions du co-chef @jpedneault.bsky.social ? #cndpoli #election2025
800$ de rabais d'impots pour la classe moyenne - 67$ par mois de plus dans nos poches. Est-ce assez pour compenser pour pour des augmentations au coût des épiceries et au loyer qui est de plus en plus cher? #election2025 #cndpoli
Le débat est à écouter - même si la Commission des débats des chefs a exclus le Parti Vert. #scnpoli #election2025
