Hi, I know there's a lot to doomscroll right now, but sleep deprivation makes everything harder, including the big and small actions you can do to help people in Minneapolis. A donation to a local mutual aid organization is a quick and easy way to help.
You still deserve time to rest and recover.
After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas.
ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.
What is imperial boomerang and how does it affect you:

The Canadian General Standards Board is also shutting down *entirely* as of April 1 with no clear plan for who takes over their work and responsibilities
So higher oil production than ever last year in #Alberta. Yet the sector cut 10,000 jobs. How is oil going to save us? All I see is big business trying to get workers to do more work for less pay, and then telling us to be grateful for the work.
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.
Not the hero we asked for. The hero we need. Wait… no we asked for that hero too. The hero we asked for AND needed.
Because my skin cancer is on my face. I can’t hide my surgery and such. Peoples reactions have been… interesting.
However, if you’re a man, and your immediate reaction is to make a DV joke. I’m assuming you’d like to hit a woman.
Apparently it’s not just man-colds that are worse for men… it’s flu shots too…
All of these are concerning. Water, utilities, financial services? Oh goody.
Not a long wait. But every single voter needed a form filled out and then to sign it.
mRNA vaccines like what Canada is now producing and researching thanks to the previous Liberal government under PM Trudeau and continued support from the current Liberal government under PM Carney.
This looks promising for cancer specific mRNA vaccines.
Accessibility issue you haven’t considered in your business:
Hand dryers aren’t always accessible for mobility users. A hand dryer that isn’t as strong as me blowing on my hands, isn’t drying anything. Now I have to try not to slip off my mobility device with wet hands. Which can lead to falls.
“They can’t discriminate against you for being disabled!”
In theory this is true. There are protections in place to prevent discrimination
In practice they don’t work. Especially with rising fascism and eugenicist sentiment
We are denied accommodations. Denied jobs. Denied housing. Denied support
Gentle reminder that should a general strike happen, it’s crucial to plan and establish robust networks of community care.
There will be people, especially within the disability community, who can’t participate.
Who have needs that must be met.
Let’s make sure we figure out how to include them!
I’d also like to point out that being able to travel is a huge privilege. Many of the people who need it most don’t have the ability to travel. It requires money, resources and accessibility.
That’s this year. Not next year. You don’t know if it’ll be the same.
RURAL ED CLOSURES - REAL AB Case #3
- patched through a bystander call from 911 dispatcher to online doc, significant trauma from an ATV accident
- literally not a single EMS crew in the vicinity, local ED closed, all resources actively transporting patients

Last time we didn’t need to plan a year in advance. It’s getting silly.
That’s great. If you can wait until after they vaccinate their own population. They did say BC first. Some people don’t consider it until they have a baby, get cancer, sick, or have a loved one get sick. So now they need to plan that a year in advance.
For folks using screen readers. Apologies. I missed the alt text button. Top says Alberta Vaccine Booking System.

Heads up Alberta. You only get this info if you click “preorder vaccine-order vaccines.” Found out from another friend with cancer. Not great for folks at risk.

And one country being shitty with public health, especially one where its citizens jump on planes and travel so much, is a problem for every other country too.
Yup. This.
You can’t hate fascists and use AI slop generators. They’re the same thing: total destruction of truth at scale.
Once again. It’s the librarians holding the line.
In my mind… she looks like one of these librarians. youtu.be/vIwPEn4LzL8
The world needs to thank our librarians. #librarians #BookBans
Only Danielle Smith can make me glad I’ve got cancer.
Yay! Free vaccine!
*note: I’ll be fine. Very fine. Surgery soon.
