Science, nature. She/her. Mask the F up! 🇨🇦
Pinned
I've gained several followers recently, so I'll reintroduce myself (sort of). I'm "I" and I'm from the best coast of 🇨🇦 (PNW area for my 🇺🇸 friends). I post a lot about nature, science/medicine and art (esp. path art), some aviation, and tons of feline and humourous content...especially lately 🫠 1/2

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Disabled people deserve healthcare.

Disabled people deserve housing.

Disabled people deserve food.

Disabled people deserve support.

Our ability to work and produce for capitalism should not determine our value.

Disability is not a moral failing. Most people will experience it someday.

I think it’s bad, actually, to play political chess with Indigenous rights.

The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) says it’s against the memorandum of understanding that Canada and Alberta Thursday morning.

The MOU explicitly endorses the construction of a massive new bitumen pipeline from Alberta to the B.C. coast.

Tax the billionaires
The rebuilt NDP should easily be able to craft a platform that resonates with Canadians:

-Climate policy

-Housing construction

-Free uni/trades school and properly funding unis/colleges

-UBI

-Living wage

-Trade with EU, Asia, LatAm

-EU style benefits (5 week vacation, 4 day work week, etc)

Yesterday I was up on that pipeline route and a First Nation land guardian was explaining to me the riskiness of shipping oil on those waterways and I kept thinking: how f-ing broke is Canada that it’s thinking of doing this? This is ‘selling your kidney’ level of desperation.
Lets face it, this is a good day for oil companies, businesses, and those in the oil sector. Its a bad day for the environment and for reconciliation with Indigenous nations whose lands this thing will go over. As Blanchet stated, this is the official end of Canada's climate commitments.

How consumed by off-the-rails anti-science antivaxx conspiracy theories is the Alberta UCP?

Check out Resolutions #20 for UCP AGM. 👇

- Stop mRNA vaccines use in AB?
- provide vaccine detoxing (read: embrace pseudoscience)?
- educate about "vaccine injuries"?

FUCKING HELL

ICE went after Elaine Miles?!?!
Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon.

Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”
‘Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it ‘fake,’ she says
Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

After Hattie died at only one years old, I have reminded myself that animals don't think about the future. If today was a good day, if yesterday was a good day, they are happy. They live in the moment. And even if that life is short, if it's full of good days, they don't know it could be longer.
