Teacher. Ally. Thoughts are my own, and usually salty. Coffee is life. Maslow before Bloom. Grateful for this island, these trees, this water. Doing my best to keep Nanaimo weird.

One of the last protests of a time before social media was weaponized against us and MAGA was unleashed on the world. We are still the 99%.
It's still wild to me how much we've memory holed Occupy Wallstreet.

Listen, kids. If I can't hear your voice in your writing, I'm going to check your version history and throw it through at least 3 AI checkers. Every, damned, time. And THEN I'm going to decide whether it's worth grading at all. #edusky

I'm sure it's entirely coincidental, but yesterday I posted about the economic burden on the missing middle, and the LPC failure to address it, and today I'm receiving targeted ads from Pierre Poilievre on FB. Sigh. #cdnpoli

Guys, *this* is a problem. Those people benefiting the least from liberal governance are also the people being directly targeted by the CPC. This graph shows you the Xennial and Millennial affordability crisis in a nutshell. #cdnpoli

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Another election would be purely political. I also don't want austerity, which has never worked anywhere and makes life more difficult for the people who can least afford it. Carney is a red conservative. Three things can be true at the same time. #cdnpoli

One day, someone will connect all of the the IDU dots going back to 1985, and we'll be able to enjoy our lives again without a global, christofascist, dominionist cabal telling us that human rights, dignity and decency are not entitlements, right? RIGHT?

SoOoOoOo...it stopped raining long enough for Halloween fireworks in #Nanaimo, and, it turns out that I'm a total humbug about amateur fireworks. Maybe if I didn't have a freaked out dog, it might be different. Maybe not. 🫤

@zohrankmamdani is a deeply thoughtful human being and we think he would make the best NYC mayor imaginable. We feel this as New Yorkers, as Jews and as human beings who are desperate for kindness, compassion and empathy to be represented in our politics.

Tonight's moves by the UCP are part of a trend: shifting Alberta away from liberal democracy toward illiberalism.

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights?

I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.
