I attended the weekly protest for Palestine/Lebanon this afternoon and evening in Ottawa, and I’m trying to make sense of the level of police brutality and repression I saw with my own eyes. I’m still processing, but what happened tonight was a display of fascist violence.

A few years ago I found this hummingbird nest in my parking spot. It had been blown off a tree after the babies fledged.
I saw it as I got out of my car…I’d driven over it.
Incredible to see that it was not damaged. And incredible structure design! #nature #hummingbird

WIRED has tracked thousands of US military & intel personnel coming & going from classified sites, incl. NSA hubs & nuclear vaults. We know where they sleep, what they eat, and which brothels they visit.

Anyone Can Buy Data Tracking US Soldiers and Spies to Nuclear Vaults and Brothels in Germany

This bomb cyclone on #VancouverIsland is intense. A huge chunk of arbutus tree fell into my mom’s backyard. There’s branches all over the roadways.

The lightning we could see here from the island across the ocean was mind boggling. Incredibly bright. I think the cloud cover on the mainland made it so dramatic. Our living room was lit up with the flashes.

"More people die from the vaccine than from the disease itself" is actually a huge vaccine success story. Pre-vaccine it was 200,000 deaths a year, now it's 100. It's the stupidest talking point.
The only reason anti-vax attitudes were able to take root in the modern era is because vaccines are so fucking good at their job people forgot why we need them
