And instead of me whining, remember that I have a ton of mutal aid links in my Linktree.

October 19: Wake Wood 5/10 #OctopusMovieChallenge #31DaysOfHorror #31DaysOfFolkHorror

October 19 Wakewood OK I really wanted to like this movie. It feels like it would be right up my street but it was just so absurd. I can suspense disbelief for a lot of things, don’t get me wrong. It was an interesting story in the characters were great, but there was something in the ending that I did not like. 5/10.

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

Click through and contact your MP!!

Now is also the time to start writing letters to the PM. You can send letters to the PM without postage.

I’m actively begging all of my white fellow Canadians to contact your MPs about this. It’s on us to do so what we can to protect the BIPOC people that will be targeted by these laws more than we will.

D @davmo.bsky.social · 3d

Absolutely sent this.

One small adjustment to the template, these wouldn’t be concentrating power in the Executive Branch, since they aren’t giving the GG any new powers. I believe they meant “Cabinet”

Many NDP/Green/BQ folks voted Liberal to thwart pp, but are more disappointed with Carney than they thought they'd be. Now that he's in office, he seems more interested in stealing pp's base than the left's, and it's not working. The right will NEVER vote Liberal, and he's alienating his alliance.

Wrong! Call out the Carney conservatives failures at every opportunity. C5, C2, those are Poilievre Policies that trample rights and align far too much with the shitfuckery going on in the US.

The Trump administration recently bought stakes in two Vancouver mining companies and has shown interest in a project north of Prince George.

How the materials would be used is unclear — but it’s unlikely to be green energy.

My latest for @thetyee.ca. thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

Why Is the US War Department Buying into a BC Mining Company? | The Tyee

Global instability is creating a rush for critical minerals, which are useful for green energy. And the military.

Here is the full interview of PM Mark Carney speaking with Mishal Husain.

I am glad he is supporting the ICC arrest warrants but I want Canada to go further and close all loopholes concerning arms trade with Israel and end the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement.

Continuing to make the same mistakes over and over again with no changed behaviour is manipulation.

It’s the discussion of intention versus impact again. Regardless of what the intention is, the impact remains the same.

Drag me to Heks @andenheks.bsky.social · 10h

Yes, absolutely mistakes happen. And had she owned up too, and took responsibility for these mistakes instead of just pulling the necklace with no other word, this would be a different discussion. But that is a frequent misstep that she makes. She makes a mistake and then she just ignores it.

I stopped using Spotify years ago.

It’s really easy.

I’m actually feeling more of a pull to start going back to more physical media.

I’ve been telling y’all for years to quit Spotify but today is the day you can actually do it

God @thegodpodcast.com · 12h

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

Do I think that she is a white supremacist? I don’t know, but I don’t think so. Do I think that she’s enough of an egomaniac to try to include a stylized S in in jewellery of hers? Absolutely.

Do I think there was a better way to do that without it looking like a stylized WS s? Again, absolutely.

Drag me to Heks @andenheks.bsky.social · 12h

And either she is so shielded from what is currently happening because of her wealth and her whiteness that she didn’t even clock that this might be an issue, or she’s trying to send a subtle message. I’m heavily implying it is the first option.

Drag me to Heks @andenheks.bsky.social · 12h

OK. I am saying that in this current political climate, with fascism on the rise in many different places in the western world, symbols like this, intentional or no, are a massive fucking dog whistle.

Drag me to Heks @andenheks.bsky.social · 12h

Again, intention does not matter. We are not discussing her intentions. We are discussing the impact of this. The impact is that it looks very much like a facsimile of a white supremacist symbol.

Drag me to Heks @andenheks.bsky.social · 12h

Babes, we need to learn to separate intention from impact.

The vast majority of people who hurt you are not intending to hurt you, but the impact is still there and that is what matters.

Drag me to Heks @andenheks.bsky.social · 12h

It seems like you’re just trying to cape for a woman that will never notice you.

The intention does not matter. The impact, and the blowback from hundreds and thousands of people, is what matters.

Drag me to Heks @andenheks.bsky.social · 12h

Also, I’ve seen arguments that it’s supposed to represent her last name, as an s?

THATS WORSE.

Here are three separate examples of ways that the lightning bolt could’ve been incorporated into this necklace without it looking like a racist symbol.

Drag me to Heks @andenheks.bsky.social · 12h

Like, there are literally so many other ways to do a stylized lightning bolt that doesn’t even look or presume to look like a racist symbol.

Drag me to Heks @andenheks.bsky.social · 12h

You don’t think these look alike?

2 1

Drag me to Heks @andenheks.bsky.social · 12h

I completely disagree. You just need to look at the imagery on the necklace. It doesn’t matter if it’s exactly a replica of a Nazi lightning bolt, it still looks like one. And in this political climate, that says a lot.

Drag me to Heks @andenheks.bsky.social · 12h

TLDR Taylor Swift made a Nazi necklace and it’s not OK and we should call her out for it. Hopefully she’ll do better, but she’s a billionaire.

This is symptomatic for society at large and we need to pay attention to this and not dismiss it because she’s a pretty white woman.
