I am so f-ing tired of the ongoing petty rivalry between BS & Fedi. Both places have pros & cons FFS, some the same & some unique to themselves.

Neither one is the fucking devil, nor an affront/threat to the other’s existence.

Don’t like it? Don’t use it.

Save the h8 for the real devils.👍

**sigh** ok. I’m done even pretending to hope. Carney is a fucking menace & we need a snap election. I am praying that as soon as the NDP settle on a new leader, the first step is gonna be forcing one. Right now, both the Libs & Cons are falling apart and sniping their own people. Do eeeeeet.

Trudeau-era environment minister Steven Guilbeault has published a resignation letter detailing the reasons for his departure from Carney's cabinet.

He directly cites today's MOU:
Statement by Steven Guilbeault This afternoon, it is with great sadness that I submitted my resignation to the Prime Minister as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages, Minister of Nature and Parks Canada, as well as his Lieutenant in Quebec. As you know, I chose to enter politics to champion the fight against climate change and the protection of the environment. Over the past ten years, our country has made historic progress in reducing climate pollution, protecting nature and the environment, while our economy continued to grow. I believe I have contributed to these advancements, and I remain deeply proud of the achievements I have helped bring forward: • Standing up to tech giants and major polluters • Implementing Canada's first emissions reduction plan, slowing their growth and placing them on a downward trajectory • Establishing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation • Modernizing the Canadian Environmental Protection Act • Developing the country's first national climate adaptation strategy to protect our communities • Eliminating harmful single-use plastics • Implementing the most ambitious nature conservation plan in the country's history • Continuing the modernization of the Official Languages Act • Making historic investments in arts and culture, including during the COVID-19 crisis and in the most recent budget Changes in our relationship with the United States have led to profound disruptions affecting the global order, diplomatic relations, and the economy. I understand and share the Prime Minister's efforts to ensure our country First, there was no consultation with the Indigenous nations of the West Coast of British Columbia or with the provincial government, who would be greatly affected by this agreement. Furthermore, a pipeline to the West Coast would have major environmental impacts, particularly as it could cross the Great Bear Rainforest, contribute to a significant increase in climate pollution, and move Canada further away from its greenhouse gas reduction targets. Lifting the tanker ban on the West Coast would also significantly increase the risk of accidents in the region. This moratorium was established in 1972 following a unanimous vote in the House of Commons, notably because navigation in the Hecate Strait is highly dangerous. Its removal would also hinder the creation of a marine conservation area in the Great Bear Sea, a project our government has been actively developing with Indigenous partners and the government of British Columbia for several years, protecting more than 100,000 km of this ecologically sensitive region. We cannot hope to decarbonize our economy without decarbonizing the electricity sector. The proposal to exempt Alberta from the Clean Electricity Regulations in exchange for stricter industrial carbon pricing rules and the Pathways project is, in my view, a serious mistake. As shown in the analysis submitted to the House of Commons, without this regulation, the electricity sector-which has halved its pollution over the past 20 years-would return to an upward emissions trajectory. This regulation also saves lives by reducing air pollution, generates over $3 billion in healthcare savings, and ultimately reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 182 million tonnes. Finally, over the past few months, several elements of the climate action plan I worked on as Minister of the Environment have been, or are about to be, dismantled: the consumer carbon pricing, the Zero Emission Vehicle standard, the oil and gas sector emissions cap, the framework to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies, and the Clean Electricity Regulations. In my view, these measures remain essential to our climate action plan. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the citizens of Laurier-Sainte-Marie for the trust they have placed in me since 2019. I will continue to represent them as their Liberal Member of Parliament with dedication. I also thank the Prime Minister for the honor of serving in his cabinet and as his lieutenant in Quebec. When I entered politics, it was because I had a deep conviction that I could make a difference in fighting climate change and protecting our environment. My commitment to leaving a better world for the future of our children and our planet remains unchanged. Steven Guilbeault Member of Parliament for Laurier-Sainte-Marie

Okay, because I need to try and re-spark some writing community joy after… *gestures at everything* how about a revisit on a way you can absolutely support authors you love for zero dollars: by dropping a low-stress, three-sentence review somewhere.
The Three Sentence Review If it’s stressing you out, and you want to write a review, a helpful review can easily be made with three simple sentences: One: What you can expect from the book (without spoilers). “‘The Unwanted’ is a great young adult story where a young gay teen struggling with a bully learns he’s got bigger problems when his long-lost mother returns, reveals she’s an Amazon, and tells him he’s part of an important prophecy. Two: What was unique/awesome/moving/exciting about the book (again, no spoilers). “Taking Greek mythology and blending it with the real struggles of a gay teen is a delicate balance, and Jeffrey Ricker manages it with aplomb.” Three: Using a better-known author or a genre, which readers do you think would enjoy the book? “Any reader who loved Rick Riordan’s ‘The Lightning Thief’ should grab ‘The Unwanted.’” It doesn’t have to be an essay to be helpful, and you’d be surprised how much even a simple review does help an author.

Huge thread from Tyche Books, a Canadian publisher. Her authors are every day folks, with bills and rent and the physical requirement to eat every day.

Stealing the books she publishes is not a progressive act. It's not activism. It's not punk.

It's just stealing from people trying to live.

Some of my authors are on disability. Some struggle to pay monthly bills. Some are retired & on limited income. Some were laid off in the past couple years & have yet to find new work. Some would love to quit the day job & write full time, but don't earn enough from royalties to do that.

On the book piracy discourse going around today : stop arguing with authors & publishers about why you feel justified in pirating their works!

Regardless of your reasoning or rationale, trying to get them to validate it for you is thoughtless, tone-deaf, and (intentionally or not) cruel. Stop it.

Book promo post. Lilac coloured background with the words "Now Available". A 3D mock-up of a book sits opposite the text. The cover shows a home office, with built-in bookshelves full of books, plants, pictures, gift-wrapping supplies, and other knickknacks. On a small circular table sits a desk lamp with the light directed at an ornate, open jewelry box with its contents spilling out. A pearl necklace has broken and pearls have spilled over the table and onto the floor. On the floor, a black and white tuxedo cat wearing a hideous studded collar plays with ribbon and wrapping paper. Next to the cat is a stack of books and albums, on top of which is a gold, heart-shaped locket, which is broken in two. It matches a picture on the bookshelves, which is a pink broken heart. The colour tones of the cover are in soft pinks and lavendars. The title is No Love Lost in gradiated yellow, and the author is Jane Glatt. No Love Lost is part of the Wrap-It-Up Magic series.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”
