Honestly if anyone is broke or unemployed right now there's real money to be made selling tickets & stickers to disappointingly sub-par/surface level events in Take Back Alberta's wake. You could pay yourself to take out David Parker

Ragebait the townies in to attending the DRIEST lecture they have ever been a part of. Do a "standing up for kids" workshop and give an hour long lecture: first minute affirm what they want to hear, next 59 minutes filibuster with slides and slides of dry attachment theory

Fightback tactic for this shit: Poster for a competing event that covers the exact same topics at the exact same time but is NOT being run by David Parker and Christo-facists. Don't code your event as left

No big deal running two workshops promoting local politics at the same time is it?

If I can comfort anyone, it sucks that Karen's can now use AI to build real-estate agent websites centered around trying to get money and sell merch for whatever grievances they have...but it's physically unpleasant to accidentally give up an hour of your life to listen to an unqualified speaker.

This happens in the stand up comedy world all the time. A real estate agent will buy a professional website+headshots and start toting themselves as an accredited touring act before they have even tried open mic one time.

I'm kind of obsessed with the sloppiness of this grift. The website contains no credits what so ever and looks like it was made using AI as soon as they realized nationalism wasn't the correct dog whitsle...the website is made in 2025 (three months in) but apparently shes on tour and #bookednblessed

I love that the logo is basically just a guy kicking the word "LEI" which is a word I have never heard used to describe environmentalists kind of in the same way I'd never heard the word "DEI" used to describe minorities til 2 months ago. They're putting in overtime at the social construct factory

My cat's main personality trait is being able to tell time down to the minute. You'd think he would be excited about daylight savings and a perceived earlier breakfast, but early breakfast actually made him big mad today/yesterday. He enjoys the taste of consistency more than Salmon.

Pierre P is probably SO TINY MAN MAD that #Elbowsup is the nation's favorite phrase (two words) after he wasted his whole campaign writing 3 word phrases.

This Anti-trump Deathcab song from 2016 didn't age a day.

Oh I'm aware of that part. Just wish all the "numbers guys" in my life could see some numbers about their investments someone straight up replaced the bank & insurance companies. Price for a house in a "nice neighborhood" loses curb appeal very fast if someone else arbitrarily decides it's not nice

This is so affirming because any time I've written a stand-up comedy joke that is a creative argument family always tells me I should be a lawyer.
They do not understand that my inability to enunciate anything or make eye contact means I would lose every case to someone who went to 1 toastmasters.

@calgaryoccupy.bsky.social do you know of anyone who could make an infographic of what would happen to private property in the event of an annexation? House-poor people often have to bury their heads in the sand because they're on the hook for a mortgage...I want to motivate some NIMBY resistance

It's so angering because she wasn't even elected.

March 30 is a great night in #YYC the better the crowd the more impressive piece of live recorded stand-up comedy we can get to our fan favorites. Proof of concept is invaluable to entertainers and it requires a team effort to show up so we can platform restricted comedic voices so they can WOW YA!✨

Lastly: Automatically approving of someone's art, talent or content is not kindness. Honest critique and belief in the ability to improve skills is kindness. Watch more Shark Tank...the sharks treat each pitch with an open heart/mind (kindness)and then articulate a decision (boundaries).

But don't forget the actual power of small acts of kindness, healing and deprogramming in your daily life...you could be the missing link that binds a challenging person to the social contract. Socializing & practicing your own good personal boundaries is very important for us all.

Obviously in real life we need to get Elon straight to the guillotine to mitigate the harm he is causing because cognitive repair doesn't happen at the speed he is destroying the planet. Always punch Nazis.

BTW this is a thought experiment and not a gameplan:

In that example If u think that Musk doesn't deserve to have an effective pleasantly delivered self-esteem intervention because of his actions, you do not truly believe in harm reduction. u are entrenched in the idea that people must "earn" help
