I was part of the early wave who left Twitter before the rename. After a lengthy time of being a social media vagabond, I’ve decided to land here on Bluesky. It seems appropriate since my Spirit Insect is a butterfly! #BlueskyPhoto

Montreal’s home-construction pace is incroyable. Housing starts are down 36% this year over last in Vancouver & down 42% in Toronto but up 104% in Montreal. Why? Apparently an injection of funding & thriftier prefab kits is driving a multiunit housing boom.

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, & homelessness is now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if political ideology doesn’t stand in the way.

How refreshing to hear some one who gets it. Listen to the whole interaction. It’s not the bristling attack the reporter, her girl team, and salivating Conservatives think it is.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.
Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?
