Over a dozen First Nations chiefs, band councilors and elders were at Alberta's legislature Monday, to call on Premier Danielle Smith's government to stomp out the push for Alberta to quit Canada.

venmo @colocha_rachel so we can pay the rent
because the familes we are helping aren’t poverty porn, they are PEOPLE
Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other
I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

It's really exhausting.
Natural colored T-shirt. Image of a baby goat standing on a big tortoise that says this machine kills fascists. Underneath that is the beer garden at Blue Heron farm
We have started printing the new shirts for the bar. They should be up on our website soon if you want one.
Those are my fave No Shit studies with the minimum wage studies a close second.
Sadly, all the No Shit studies in the world won't change that, like all those studies about how providing homes drastically reduces homelessness haven't prompted governments to provide housing.
Parents for Choice in Education executive director John Hilton-O’Brien sees it differently. In an interview, he said education and political leaders did not take his group's concerns about graphic images seriously at first, which is why they sent volunteers hunting for copies in schools. He said it was concerning to hear that school staff found almost 170 titles that contain images he thinks minors shouldn’t see. He said the finding suggests the education minister took the correct action.
Counterpoint: I could not be less concerned about what this particular man, who is affiliated with a far-right political party, thinks minors should or shouldn't see.
I am VERY concerned that this man's "concerns" + a bunch of lobbying resulted in book bans, though!
This feels like one of those No Shit studies.
will remember jay as the person who deleted lexi alexander and link, worked hard to cut palestinians off from their one chance at survival, ignored the ongoing abuse of Black and trans users, and then when confronted about the whole thing said 'waffles'. and for that fugly no caesars shirt.
The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.
if anyone is looking for the "Canada is a communist dictatorship" crowd, they are currently busy complaining that Canada does not centrally regulate the price of gasoline
A newly published video shows that a US Tomahawk missile hit a medical clinic inside an IRGC base and near a primary school in the southern Iranian town of Minab where the authorities said 168 people, including around 110 children, were killed.

B.C. RCMP has renewed calls to the public for help locating missing 34-year-old Rosemary Harry, who has been missing since January on Vancouver Island.
I'm sure everything will be fine. Besides, when was the last time a venture capitalist really ruined something?
Elon tweet saying Grok speaks the truth and Grok tweet saying Elon is a pedophile.
I really, really don't like "oh trans people are just a tiny powerless population with no impact on anything, all these laws are just a distraction" tack and believe it's detrimental to the fight for our liberation, for several reasons.
So...🧵
Young people:
1. Please read all of the banned books, on principle. Please go to your local library (until Minister Williams & Premier Smith get books banned from those public libraries too).
2. Be so knowledgeable & so creative that you write & produce more books worthy of being banned by the UCP.
Tweet from matt (@mattxiv): using the passive "dead" and the active "killed" in the SAME HEADLINE is absolutely diabolical Quoted tweet from Sky News (@SkyNews): Latest attacks in Lebanon leave nearly 400 dead as two Israeli soldiers killed trib.al/xORAqhP
Like at this point it’s no secret to the people writing these headlines that this kind of thing has been roundly criticized for years and years. It’s an intentional, conscientious decision on their part. They know they’re propagandists (and, for better or worse, we all are!).

I promise I won’t keep talking about it, but
The whole timothee chalamet thing is a great example of terminal main character syndrome. I’m seeing several comments agreeing with him.
It takes minimal thought to see the difference between “I don’t care about this” and “no one cares about this”.
A trans person drawing on a statue with chalk got comment from the Home Secretary and coverage on TV and in all the main papers.
A female Green MP being harassed and abused in the street by transphobes gets nothing...

Puberty blockers have been banned on the basis of a fake study conducted by a generalist paeditrician.
Hormones for under 18s have been banned on the basis of a fake review conducted by a head injury specialist.
Both remain available for cis kids because that's 'different' somehow
It strikes me that what the Cass review has 'achieved' is a manufactured lack of evidence. It doesn't feel a million miles from what the tobacco companies used to do.
