May all beings be happy
All beings without exception
Weak or strong, omitting none
Great or mighty, seen & unseen

Born or yet unborn
May all beings be happy
Let no one deceive another

Or in anger wish another harm

Please sign. The Cubans 🇨🇺 are our friends, many of us have people we care about on the island. They don’t deserve this.
We should immediately follow Mexico’s lead and condemn this act of economic warfare. And we should step up with humanitarian assistance to the Cuban people, as NDP MP @alexboulerice.bsky.social calls for in this excellent parliamentary petition: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

People ask me "why kelp is important". There's not enough space for all the reasons here but big reasons are that kelp can grow faster than any other any species fixing CO2, providing shelter and food. Urchins eat kelp plus they're "messy" eaters so they feed other species nearby.

More than half of the world’s new electric cars are now plugging into Chinese sockets instead of lining up at gas stations. By 2024, it is estimated that China’s EV sales were growing about 40% year on year, even as some Western markets stumbled.

China sold 11 million electric vehicles in one year, leaving less room for the oil it used to buy from Venezuela
But there is a basic question lurking behind the headlines. Who will actually need that oil in the years ahead? For years, China has been one of Venezuela’s

I'm a little disturbed by people referring to Becky Chamber's work as cozy fantasy. It's Solarpunk. "Cozy" is too apolitical, not acknowledging that what she tries to do is build a new and better world.

Loved the Monk and Robot duology by Becky Chambers. It's a wholesome, cozy sci-fi, speculative fiction, and it is fantastic. It asks pretty big questions but manages to make the process of answering them a very warm and inviting experience. A masterpiece. 5/5⭐ #MonkandRobot #BeckyChambers #BookSky

Reupping this because a colonoscopy is no big deal and anyone over 40 should be talking to their doctor about getting one.
Take care of yourselves, people.
Take care of yourselves, people.
The prep isn't nearly as bad as it used to be, the surgery is the best nap you'll ever have, and the first meal after is a religious experience.
Just got a colonoscopy this week! Unlike poor Saavik here, prep was basically painless for me. Drink the goop, poop a lot, done. Really the whole thing was smooth & easy & not worth the dread lots of folks bring to it.
If you're nearing or above 50, do it!

Disappointing as it may be when professed friends of cartoonists post A.I. slop, it is absolutely soul-destroying when cartoonists themselves do it. Your instantaneous “caricature” is predicated on the plunder of countless hours of labour by many thousands of artists. Show a shred of solidarity ffs.
The ChatCPT caricature trend is all over social media, but not everyone is happy with the results...

I understand why non-public servants in Ottawa are rolling their eyes at public servant complaints about the return to office mandate.
But as Luke points out, what is the point of going to a building where you have no office and are spending the entire time on MS teams video calls?
It's ludicrous.

Two things I’m not sure is widely understood:
1. Many public servants no longer have their own desks and work in transient government co-working spaces
2. Many describe a Kafkaesque existence of going to physical offices only to spend their time on video calls with the people sitting next to them
