I could share this a thousand times over and it wouldn’t be enough.
Such a needed sentiment.

Boosting this. The beautiful #DrJaneGoodall calls out some of the most destructive sociopaths on earth: Musk, Putin, Trump, Xi, Netanyahu.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

We pay for CANADIAN content.
CBC our “Canadian” broadcaster, is busy featuring US govt shutdown news & discussing the impact this will have on Americans …. Too much time CBC spends discussing US news. So much happening in Canada with Carney at the helm, it can’t be for lack of our own news. #cdnpoli

In honour of Dr Darren Markland. This is a painting I created for him from his own photo. He took it at his cabin, which he said was his favourite place in the world. I am so saddened. This one’s for you, Dr M.

Brilliant takedown of #PierrePoilievre by Adam van Koeverden.

“Earlier this year when the leader of the Conservative Party lost his job he didn’t lose his house.

That’s because he lives in government subsidized non market housing.” …yet PP always opposes such assistance for others.

At 54 I’m really understanding the importance (and necessity) of shifting all validation from external sources to internal. It’s very liberating. It’s a superpower.

“According to a report by Berkshire Hathaway, Canada is the second safest country in the world for travel in relation to violent crime. The report also named Canada as the third safest country in the world overall.”

Don’t let the fear mongers tell you otherwise, fellow Canucks.

“Note how political tyranny lives on a gullible populace and how a gullible populace falls for tyranny. Innocence seems to ask for evil.”

Someone needs to read Foucault. You need to have public punishments so that the population absorbs an internalized sense of authority over them.

I think they might find evidence that moving out of Alberta is good for young people’s mental health.

From @derriqued👊🏼:

Dear Danielle,

Hold my hand

While I pull the engaging book out of a reluctant reader's hand

While I decide which exhausted teacher to give another new registration

While I search for another desk and chair

Dear Danielle,
Hold my hand
While I pull the engaging book out of a reluctant reader's hand
While I decide which exhausted teacher to give another new registration
While I search for another desk and another chair
While I help a teacher set up their classroom in a library, the gym, or on the stage
While I select which single student, out of a dozen, gets that last precious psychological assessment
While I explain to a family that we don't have the resources to keep their child safe at school today
While I search for resources to support a teacher in delivering curriculum rooted in rote memorization of developmentally inappropriate concepts While I hang curtains and place rows of fans in the hopes of reducing the classroom temperature from 30+
While I tell a talented athlete that she is not welcome to participate on the team While I reduce the portions in student nutrition programs to ensure no one goes hungry
While I determine the placement of my few Education Assistants to keep the most kids safe
While I offer a courageous student the option to be outed or to go back into the closet
While I tell my own children I won't be home for dinner... again Yes, Danielle, please hold my hand
Yours in vicious compliance,
Alberta School Administrators

I do sew and this loss is so representative of the current discrepancy between people’s values and monolith corporations. Also they own the only tissue paper printer?!?! All indie pattern co will be affected too! Devestating

I’m curious which ones will have interprovincial regulations softened. I am a regulated professional in another province. I’ll look up the ON regulatory body for my field.

Where can I find this list of regulated jobs? A quick google search doesn’t bring it up.

Or get it on EPL’s Libby or Hoopla to read on your phone or Kobo. Just read books anyway you can. When I was in grade 7, I read Forever by Blume. It taught me a lot and I turned out just fine.

I’m so ashamed of Alberta. On the opening of pride? That’s some assholery.

I’ve never heard of prewound bobbins. Do you throw them out after or fill them up again?

Alta Vista in 1995. It was the Wild West, creative, meaningful….And the enshitification of clothes is a solid complaint. I still wear my GenX fluevogs 32 years later.
