haven’t shared in a while because everything feels so grey and have been over on Substack reading more in depth posts because it sometimes feels like all I can do!

"Wasting billions on income tax cuts in this context isn’t just a bad idea, it is ruinous. It’s also the opposite of fiscal responsibility. You don’t starve government coffers at a time when generational investments are needed." emmettmacfarlane.substack.com/p/canadians-...
Canadians aren't being asked to meet the moment
As Donald Trump triples down on his economic war against Canada, one of the things that inspires the most hope is the vociferous and passionate response of Canadians.

dear Canadians who broadly hate on America - you are forgetting to acknowledge the MILLIONS of people who have no choice but to live where they are. think before u speak

Finally, after a decade of chronic addiction, I’m quitting daily cannabis use!!! 👏🏼🥲🤓🥰🙏🏼🫡

I know a lot of folks don’t necessarily see it as super addictive, and by no means is it as life altering or dangerous as other drugs. I’m just so proud to be on the way to no longer relying on it

Adventures in snow dyeing! One of my fav natural dye techniques, it helps me appreciate the cold and the seasonality of dyeing even when working with purchased or dried dyes. A couple items from a recent collab with @slugbbmade.bsky.social #naturaldyes #snowdyeing #naturaldyeing

Friends:

I do not want to see any kvetching about people on the left who didn't vote for Harris. Those mistakes didn't decide this.

White supremacists & whoever else wouldn't vote for a Black woman did this. Misogynoir.

The enemy is WHITE SUPREMACY and FASCISM.

Solidarity time. Now. Shore up.

"The solutions are simple ... With elections looming, voters must demand that women’s safety, housing security and the epidemic of GBV take centre stage in party platforms and policies.

This crisis is solvable, but only if we refuse to accept it as inevitable"
"In 2024, over half of new referrals to the Sexual Assault Support Centre’s Anti-Human Trafficking program came from underhoused women and youth. Waterloo Region now has the third-highest rate of human trafficking in Canada."
Unhoused women face grim reality
Women’s homelessness and gender-based violence is a crisis we can’t ignore, write the leaders of YWCA Cambridge and the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo Region.

Every book in my library is actually a hidden lever that opens a secret door to another library filled with even more hidden lever books. None of my books are real and I've been trapped in here for weeks

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
