It’s legitimately embarrassing that the left wing politicians in Vancouver can’t get their shit together and -communicate- with one another properly.

Update in Vancouver Progressive Parties Drama: OneCity is holding an announcement tomorrow morning to “provide a statement and take questions on the next steps in the ongoing negotiation process between OneCity, COPE & the Greens”.
COPE and Greens were unaware of this, so we’ll see what they say!

This should be illegal, it means Facebook*/Meta is recreating the voices of ALL of its users via AI?
Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting.
You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻♀️

My autocorrect has been INCREDIBLY bad lately, a combination of learning a bunch of my slang and getting worse since they made changes?
Anyways, just sent ‘have a good. Uggggh’ to my brother instead of ‘have a good night’ because I didn’t catch it before I hit ‘send’
tempted to reset it..

Geordi was a favourite of mine, when I was really young I would wear my headband across my eyes and pretend to be him 😂

If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. If Section 230 is gone, you can kiss Bluesky goodbye.
Reminder that they're still trying to repeal section 230 (thereby making platform holders like bsky legally responsible for content posted by their users etc etc)
There is still a need for you to blow up your rep's phones on this if you enjoy being able to do things like "post" or "have an porn"

Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! 🩷
I grew up in a ‘holidays’ household (my mom ran a daycare and always decorated it) AND I love stationary and paper products, so that of course means I really love Vintage Valentines things.
These are a few in my collection 🤓 (that were most easy for me to access)

The way parents have been pushing back on divisive narratives and showing compassion for everyone impacted is a true show of community. It says so much about Tumbler Ridge.
"It's not about guns. It's not about [being trans] ... It's about mental health. It's about a lack of resources." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Mother of critically injured Tumbler Ridge victim says she feels compassion for shooter’s mother | CBC News
Maya Gebala's parents are by the 12-year-old's side taking strength from well-wishers. They are urging Canadians to support Tumbler Ridge, B.C., shooting victims and to avoid politicizing the tragedy.

Some good news for your Friday <3
In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women."
😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that!
"Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate."
Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!

This sounds incredibly bad... I know American friends & family are so exhausted having to call your reps all the time, but this SAVE act seems like the biggest BAD that would help them prevent a lot of votes....
The SAVE act also forces states to submit their voter registration lists to the DHS! I know we’ve been focused on voter ID but that’s only the tip of the iceberg !

And if you have an iPhone and you have the sinking realization as the federal agent is bearing down on you that you forgot to disable biometrics: hit the right-side down button 5x very quickly to enter the power down menu.
Reminder- turn biometric locks on your phone OFF, and shift to a passcode if you think you’ll be in any situation where you’d be filming.
A 76-year-old veteran and nurse was tackled and detained at the site of Alex Pretti's killing. Agents told him his phone was evidence in an investigation into him assaulting an officer.
