(he/him) An accidental activist. I kept waiting and waiting for someone to do something. Oh no what if everyone's waiting for me?!? Mostly climate, politics and geeky stuff. I learn by making mistakes and always seem to be learning something new.
Or even a single article lol. Whatever man. Guess the right-wing campaign to make me seen as an imperfect victim by the broader industry is bearing more fruit than I realized.
That’s a tough pill to swallow.
Okay, actually doing this now.
Because with the sun setting on the second full day after the nazis came after me in person, I’m realizing no mainstream media cares to cover it and no press freedom cares to condemn it.
I don’t want to spend too much time with that realization and its implications!
Image of a comic book advertisement selling x-ray glasses. The heading reads "Amazing X-Ray Sight!!!" The advertisement has a drawing of glasses being worn by a man who is looking at a woman and able to see through her clothes with text that reads "Is that really her body you can "see" under her clothes?" Embarrass your friends! Great at parties! Money back guarantee. The main text reads "Apparently see thru cloth, bones, skin, etc. Wear like regular glasses. Built-in optical illusion creates amazing scientific effect. Fun & fascinating to look at objects, people! Creates laugh riot. Send only $1 plus $0.25 S&H Smith & Smith Import Co.

They know their market.
Green Party of Canada graphic on a dark green background. The text reads: “Canadians are going HUNGRY While grocery billionaire Galen Weston is the third richest person in Canada.” “HUNGRY” and “Galen Weston” are bolded. A black-and-white portrait of Galen Weston appears in the lower right with a bright green outline. The Green Party of Canada logo is in the lower left.
Green Party graphic on a dark green background featuring a large black-and-white open mouth in the centre. Three overlapping text blocks read: “WEALTH TAX NOW!” The word “TAX” appears on a tilted white box outlined in green. The Green Party logo and name appear at the bottom.
In a country as wealthy as Canada, why are families going hungry while billionaires get richer? It’s time to end extreme wealth and build a Canada that takes care of people. #Wealthtaxnow

It makes more sense with the spelling corrected.
Yesterday I was disappointed to discover the domain name markcarnage.ca had been registered, but then I saw it was done by @cupescfp.bsky.social and that put a big smile on my face. I bet/hope they've got something good in the works!
The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) has also stated, "As the Carney government is planning to transfer health care costs to refugees and cut processing capacity, it is also proposing sweeping immigration changes that undermine the rights and protections of migrants and refugees.“
The last time this happened Harper made a mess of it and then demoted foreign born Canadians to 2nd Class. Carney isn't incompetent, claims Trump told him it'd happen, so the question has to be is this deliberate and to what end? #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/world/l...
Carney says he supports US invading Iran, Cuba, and possibly Canada "with some regret"

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
“This erosion of international law is truly worrying: justice has given way to force; the force of law has been replaced by the law of force.” Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican secretary of state. www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-c...
All of the above!
Maybe we should split the difference and join Newfoundland and Labrador. Screw everyone up!
They don’t care about your little marches or little hats, or even your little votes. They care if you show up to work and to shop.
Here’s my full video on Day 5 of the Ken Sim and Sean Orr saga.
A bit of today’s news, a bit of historical context to the story, a bit of answering @seanorr.bsky.social’s challenge to me earlier this week.
I *think* the story will recede now, but given the weirdness of it all, we’ll see!
I don't really buy this as a firing. The frenzy from corporate media here plays into the admin's hand to distract us all from other things. Mullen, the replacement, will be no better & likely worse. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
A domestic terrorist attack would allow him to do some of the things he seems to want to do. 🤔
There is a straight line between values-free "pragmatism" in making deals with human rights abusers and getting involved in an immoral and illegal war. A very short, very straight line.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Bored of peace. Probably thinks its funny too.
Take care! You're freaking amazing BTW.
As a lil update, I'm giving myself the day off tomorrow because of all this.
I need some rest after being on the phone with police all day today and dealing with this bullshit until way too late last night.
So, I'm really sorry, but no podcast this week :(
I hope you guys don't mind ❤️
At some point Canadians will need to realize Mark Carney isn’t a saviour of liberal democracy, he’s Harper 2
Coming soon, an answer to whether Liberal MPs, after rolling over on climate action, will do the same on joining Trump's Fascist Follies or find their backbones. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Exactly. Rights are now privileges, and can/will be revoked arbitrarily.
Your rights are only as secure as their rights. No matter who you are. No matter who they are.
