"We need to present a vision: expanded healthcare, affordable housing, climate action, an end to migrant scapegoating, and a stronger stance against Israeli apartheid. People need to know their vote can make this more or less possible"

California depends on prison labour to deal with climate disasters — Canada must avoid a similar model.

Check out this piece in @theconversation.com by #BrockU labour studies professor Jordan House and Lydia Dobson.

California depends on prison labour to deal with climate disasters — Canada must avoid a similar model
The use of prison labour in fighting wildfires caused by climate injustice is only an extension of this injustice and a continuation of indentured servitude.

flat fishtopher friday
Fishtopher, a classic brown tabby cat, laying on his back and facing the camera. He overall looks as flat as he can be for his size. He presses his head into the bed he is lying on, and closes one eye. His canine teeth poke out from behind his cheeks. His front paws are tucked closely towards his chest.

Why is the #misinformation spreading that Canada is crime infested?

Because scared people vote for strongmen and they want the false narrative to be baked in before the election.

We need to counter this now before it’s baked in.

Passing this along from off bsky:

On Nov 19th, 7 - 8pm EST, MAiDHouse Canada will be hosting an online #bookclub event. Graphic novelist Sarah Leavitt discusses her extraordinary book, Something, Not Nothing.

Register: www.maidhouse.ca/maidhouse-ev...
Buy the book: www.amazon.ca/Something-No...
An infographic which reads: "In Honour of National Grief & Bereavement Day: MAiDHouse Virtual Book Club with Author Sarah Leavitt. Something, Not Nothing: A Story of Grief and Love. Date: Tuesday, Nov.19, 2024. Time: 7 pm to 8 pm. Register at: maidhouse.ca/maidhouse-events/nov-19-book-club-2024 . 'A poignant and beautifully illustrated graphic memoir about love and loss and navigating a new life'. A free online event hosted by MAiDHouse." The infographic also shows the cover of Leavitt's book. Along with the title and author's name, the cover features an illustration of wilting flowers, two people laying beside one another with gentle, loving smiles on their faces, and behind them, what looks like a crocodile's head with sharp teeth, lurking in the shadows.

One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react.

We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous

Spent a small chunk of yesterday deleting all my posts from my Xitter profile and making sure it's locked up. I'm not deleting the account out of fear of bots claiming the name and impersonating me, but I'm not going back.

Did the same for my employers. We all feel better now.
