Right, make an intro post.

I am an AuDHD, leftist, Gen X settler living on the traditional land of the Blackfoot Confederacy on Turtle Island.

I was there, back in the day, when we kicked the Nazi skin heads out of punk gigs.

At the beginning of the pandemic I found my great grandmothers
I was thinking this same thing. I’ve been in situations where it could have been the last words I heard.

Did you know for some of us, our brains often don’t trigger all the muscles needed for movement, or posture?

The 20 largest U.S. retail banks that report collecting overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees made $3 billion off those fees in the first 9 months of 2025.

To put it another way, these banks took $3 billion from people who had no money.

We have 3000+ years of literature that points out how the ultra wealthy are the bad guys, and yet we continue to allow people to hoard mass amounts of money to the detriment of the majority…
It is breaking my brain.

Wait until people figure out that the reason they want temp foreign workers isn’t because they can’t find local workers, it’s because they can have more control over their employees, they don’t want Canadians with rights. It’s not just a wage issue, some people need to punch down hard.

change of focus that helps.
Maybe it’s having a plan that helps.
But mostly,
Give yourself permission to step back and take a moment to breathe and take care of yourself.

Space, liquid, protein.
When i feel a meltdown coming, i try to to remove myself from whatever situation I’m in, drink some water or something with a little sugar in it, and i try to eat something protein heavy, like nuts or chicken fingers.
I don’t know if those items actually help or if it’s

If I were paid to do this job, I'd be in the media and on social media every day.
I'd say:
1)get vaccinated for covid and the flu.
2) wear a respirator (N95) mask in crowded indoor spaces like public transit.
3) keep your holiday get-togethers safe by keeping things well ventilated and filtered.

Arbitrator gives Medicine Hat careworkers 6% raise

This is a better increase than in their last two contracts, but it still falls way short of keeping up with inflation.

Imagine having more money than 99.99 of the planet,
Are you spending Christmas Eve trolling the poors on line?Wealth hoarding is an illness and the only humane thing to do is take it away, to save them from this bitter loneliness.

Sending your artist friend #AIArt after they have told you, passionately, how they feel about AI art is cruel.
Defending it by saying you can’t tell what specific style it is, is missing the point.
Being mad at your artist friend for being upset?
You can fuck right off.

When Trump dies-- could be at any point, who knows -- we get Vance.

They'll blame a lot of stuff on Trump AND try to fast-track an even uglier Christofascism.

We must be preparing for this now & organizing accordingly.
Grassroots activism, coalitions. Dissent. Sand in gears. GOTV.

Every angle.
