I interrupt our regular political dunkfest to share my latest book cover.

It's called 'Whole and Human. Forty meditations for liberating body and spirit.'

In the age of rage, we need more embodied practices.

Red text 'Whole and Human'. Small text 'forty meditation for liberating body and spirit'.

The options for mail-in ballots is hope the strike ends, or drop it off in-person at the ballot office in NE Calgary.

The arrangement for mail-in ballots for Alberta's municipal elections is bad, VERY bad, due to Canada Post strike and total lack of accommodations.

It has made voting extremely inaccessible for disabled folks in particular. This is a curtailment of a fundamental democratic right.

I began writing this story with a naive question in mind: What do we lose when public education is privatized? A lot, actually.

By following the MAGA playbook, the UCP’s push against public education not only undermines democracy, it jeopardizes the possibility of a better future for all Albertans.

MAGA’s Project 2025 has become a blueprint for undermining Canada’s schools in the name of profit and privilege.

My friend who served a month in Gaza this past January was denied entry by the Israelis to get in and serve another rotation at the Gaza Hospital. So the tricks are still coming folks.....

Horrific conservative policy. I hate it.

Rohadi @rohadi.com · 12d

Danielle Smith's 'Ralph Bucks' to parents with school children is vote buying while completely destabilizing public education.

Which is the point, and we can only conclude that conservative voters want the destruction.

Albertans are caught between sense and Republican nonsense. #abpoli #cdnpoli

No. I don't think Ontario does either.

Rohadi @rohadi.com · 15d

Reconciliation is often used by settlers to distance themselves from colonial culpability.

However, reconciliation is deeper, it is an invitation to repair broken relationships; to live in a good way between all things.

May it be so.

Rohadi @rohadi.com · 15d

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, (but not in Alberta cause racism.)

Created in haste w/o consultation w/ Indigenous People as a way to assuage white guilt following the discovery of more unmarked graves at residential schools across the country.

At tonight’s “consultation”…

When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.

Listen to the clip yourself…

It’s…

Telling.

A TRC Day listicle for CBC. Enough books here to keep you going through the winter.

"These books helped me understand the willfulness of that not knowing and peoples' willingness to believe other stories about those schools."

Canada does not have a problem with anti-Christian hate. It does, however, have far-right fragility and Christians who live with their 'victim mentality'.

What's your take on Audiobook narration where voice acting gets...weird.

White man impersonates a conversation two Black women; or white man impersonates someone who had a stroke.

It lands prejudiced and cringe to me..... Digital Blackface.

But I'm new here so....

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!
