Right, make an intro post.

I am an AuDHD, leftist, Gen X settler living on the traditional land of the Blackfoot Confederacy on Turtle Island.

I was there, back in the day, when we kicked the Nazi skin heads out of punk gigs.

At the beginning of the pandemic I found my great grandmothers

If you’re wondering why some Covid activists still seem to be in the "emergency phase," please remember that for many, it truly is still an emergency - some are disabled, unhoused, grieving loved ones, or facing abuse for continuing to mask.

Before judging, take a moment to check your privilege

Anti-Indian hatred in Canada is skyrocketing and a lot of the complaints people have about jobs and businesses aren't actually the fault of the workers, but instead the corporate owners. Stop licking boots and start punching up #canada #cdnpoli #timhortons #canadian #frankdomenic🍁

Tomorrow, from 9 AM to noon, St. Albert students are organizing a walk-out and a march in support of Teachers.

As a dad, former Teacher and education minister, I support this. Missing school is warranted in support of social justice and civil right.

I’ll join them.

Do we have a list of major UCP donors so we can make their lives miserable?
Maybe hold a “Take Your Kids to See Who is Stealing Their Future Day’ is needed.
Take your kids through private schools so they know what is being withheld by a bunch of bullies with rich friends.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!
It’s getting cold, they think people will stay home and not protest.

Failure to return the shopping cart to one of the cart returns if you are able is a sign of someone who does not value the social contract.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Good evening. I'll get right to it.

You all need to be fucking mad as hell right now.

Because what Danielle Smith’s government is threatening to do in Alberta isn’t a negotiation tactic. It’s a constitutional crisis in the making.

A reminder that change.org petitions have zero impact on politicians in Canada (or anywhere really). It's basically performative engagement.

Only www.ourcommons.ca petitions have any weight whatsoever.

Every time someone talks about “curing” autism, what they’re really saying is:

That autism is a disease
That we are broken
That we shouldn’t exist

It’s not just wrong - it’s dehumanising

We’re not a problem to be solved.
We’re real, valid humans

Why is that so hard to see?

If only I could mute the people around me, this was online yelling at real life people, whom I care about, but am so frustrated with for not acknowledging what is going on, and expecting me to be quiet about my ‘Special Interest’
Reminder, the oligarchs method of dealing with the climate crisis is ‘depopulation’
BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:
I am so tired of listening to people complain about how shitty things are getting.

Some of us have spent our lives trying to keep that from happening.

And you laughed at us, ignored us, bullied us.

So I don’t give a flying f-k about your existential crisis of feeling all alone.

Exactly this! This is the road to social disaster the #UCP would have us follow.

Don't abandon our kids to the nightmare this anti-public education dreck brought on in the US! #NoMAGAinCanada #ElbowsUp #cndpoli #abpoli #ableg #abed
This is what the Alberta Teachers Association is on strike to prevent.
Please stop using paternal age when you are busting people for accusing mothers of being the reason for autism.
It’s not the flex you think it is.
It still makes autism a defect that needs to be solved and not just another way of experiencing the world.
WE ARE NOT BROKEN!!!

Yep, the Alberta Advantage is getting to pay more for everything, getting way less services, dying waiting for medical tests, children in crowded classrooms.
It’s frustrating being surrounded by the most gullible people easily influenced by fear mongering and otherness.
If it were about saving money, then the gov’t wouldn’t be giving funding private schools
It’s about eroding the public system so their friends can profit and the masses are more easily controlled by fear.
Interested to find out who the founder of Antifa is…
My bet is Churchill.
You mean all the money that goes to foreign owned companies and a handful of very wealthy people?
The tax payers are going to be the ones on the hook for clean up, hundreds of millions of dollars.
We haven’t benefitted from O &G since Harper allowed foreign owners.
